Oh Jezzies! Please help! This post will help me with my very own Christmas Miracle! A long time a go, in a far away place, Burgundee had a favorite pair of mid-calf boots. She wore them and wore them until the sole and heel needed to be glued back on, the elastic lost shape and then they gave away and then…

I came here to delete my comment because I realized (belatedly) that it breaks one of my rules for screening my own comments: "remember that no one cares about who or what I find attractive." But I wasn't quick enough and missed the window to edit. So if anyone even notices this dreck down here among the grey sludge,…

I can't decide whether or not I should feel guilty for being titillated by those pictures. I'm embracing diversity! By...objectifying...uh...strangers. So I guess I'm unable to feel as good about myself as I feel about those women.

Haha this happens all the damn time in east Van, nearly every shop has their own cat.

Etsy has had a huge problem for a long time, and like a lot of people have said already in the comments, it is nearly impossible to get noticed on Etsy if you're not a Chinese reseller or one of their twee shops.

So this week I made an appointment to get my first tattoo! My Grandma and I had been talking about getting matching paw print tattoos (her idea, actually) but she got cancer and it obviously went on the back burner. Now that she's gone, I'm going to get a paw print in her memory.

Live 10 miles from Loveland, OH and didn't know about this. I'll have take a trip to check it out sometime.

You're an idiot if you believe this.

Graeter's > Aglamesis

Graeter's and Aglamesis Bro's are better than Jeni's.

How many more stories do we have to read like this? As much as we might want to believe otherwise, it is time for adult women to face facts. The boys we knew in high school and college no longer exist. What happened to them I don't know, but we need to start talking to and carefully advising a new generation of young…

Which of Jenny Crusie's books should be a movie first? I like _Faking It_, but maybe _Fast Women_ would be easier to film. _Welcome to Temptation_ is obvious but fun.

Alright, fine. You want a new romcom for the modern era? How's this:

Nope, wrong. I ONLY got to McDs for salads. Everything else is pretty gross but I love their salads. They aren't healthy at all (that grilled chicken is basically chicken flavored sodium squares) but they are really big and quite tasty. The Southwest Salad (black beans, corn salsa, lime and doritos <—— yes, they…

I was on a Verizon contract in the late 90's, it was an unregulated, never-the-same-monthly-charge-twice, fee orgy. Switched to Virgin Mobile in 1999, and been with them since.

I hate that this is not an experience unique to my shitty childhood. I was a weirdly-proportioned kid, but I was strong, if taller and bigger in build and bone than my tiny little abercrombie-wearing 1st grade classmates. (I suppose it didn't help to avoid ridicule that I was completely unaware of any difference,…

Growing up, I was overweight. My whole family was pretty big and I thought it was the norm. When I started going to school, the relentless teasing began. People would run away from me during recess and call me "gross". Mind you, I was only about 15 pounds overweight but I live in a very superficial city and kids are…

I am fat. Very Fat. 400lbs+. I've done the diets. I've done the research into the diets. And I've decided it simply comes down to I'm still too angry to lose weight.

I've remember being teased for being fat in first grade. Others' memories and pictures make me doubt this, but I remember believing it. And it was…

Fatty, blimp, porker - all the words that I was called growing up. My mom tried to make me feel better by enrolling me in Weight Watchers when I was in 6th grade, taking me to a nutritionist that put me on a 7 day fast, a doctor that flat out called me fat. I don't blame her. All I did was complain about how fat I…

I could read fluently at 3 years old, and have been an avid reader ever since. When I was in 4th grade in 1974, my teacher gave me this book to read and I LOVED it, because it was so revolutionary for the time period. Harriet was so different from the average girl character that was popular in books from that time. …
