I think I made that lady in The Sims 3 once by moving the mouth and eyeball sliders all the way to the right

Waitrose is the ultimate in middle class living. Look up their “Essential” range:

Really?? ALL of them! I have Hulu Plus!!! OMG, I’m about to scream too.

I watched this on Saturday and I COULD NOT LOOK AWAY.

I met a British bloke on vacation years ago and we still keep in touch. My favorite expression is when something is “pants”.

This should finally erase the unfair stereotype that Americans have that all British people are intelligent.

Oh, God, you have my eternal sympathy. I’ve had to go through two rounds of intensive language training for my job, with a third coming up. The way it works is that you basically spend five or six hours a day in classroom instruction, then do three or four hours of homework. Repeat every day for six to nine months.…

You seem fun.

When I was in 8th grade my Spanish class was learning adjectives. My teacher (Peruvian) invited me to the front of the room because I was a good student to be an example. She was using words ro describe me and called me “a little bit fat”. She didn't mean it as an insult, but I burst into tears and I can still taste…

At the end of a 3-day conference, when introverted me was almost full up to the brim, a friend invited me to dinner. When I got there, I found it wasn’t her and me and dinner, but her, me, her parents and 11 other friends for dinner at a really loud pizza place.

I was 10 years old and my mom decided a perm was a great idea for me. You could have put a pair of giant pineapple earrings and a “Doloris” nametag on me and I could have passed for a washed up middle-age waitress in a truck stop diner.

and my brother decided to jokingly grab my shoulders.

1986. Ft. Dix, NJ. About 7 rungs up on one of these during basic training.

Also a good one I forgot: I got the worst flu of my life my junior year of college. I was in bed for days and my face would not stop leaking and my brains were mashed potatoes. But it was the middle of spring semester and I had to do a Spanish oral exam in the Spanish Conversation and Composition class I was barely…

I worked with my mother at a daycare after finishing my masters because my city is in a craptastic economic downturn (still there). She had met a man online a few years prior but I didn’t think much of it. He lived in the States and we are from Canada. I thought her talk of moving there was just empty words since her…

Most embarrassing time I burst into tears: that one time I had a breakdown at the top of the leaning tower of Pisa, and instead of being helpful my family decided to laugh take pictures of me with the highly uncomfortable tour guide.

A few years ago, I was having a massive craving for Indian food, so my husband picked some up from our favorite Indian restaurant by our old house (about 20 min from our new place). I got home from work and was very much looking forward to stuffing my face with the best Chicken Tikka Masala ever (mild for me because I…

Oof. I’m An Old, so a couple of things stick out to me. I was bused in high school across town to an unfamiliar school. This was 1979-80 and I was part of the forced desegregation movement. I get my first crush on a sophomore. We were in marching band together. I only had a few friends, consisting of the other bused…

When I was getting married, I was the most chill bride ever. Didn’t stress about anything. Wedding went fine, went on the honeymoon, everything was fine. When we got home from the honeymoon, we stopped at the carwash to vacuum out the travel crumbs, and I lost it. Sobbing horrible ugly cry. I’m generally not a “cryer”…

The time my mom thought it would b a great idea to take me to First Choice and get the ‘Rachel’ haircut when I wanted to grow my hair out. I came in 10 years old and left looking like a 45 year old Midwestern suburban mom. I was hysterical and screaming at my mom “how could you do this to meeeeeee? You were just…
