Oh my god its me at age 11.

I hope the producers of Talking Dead see this story. Norman Reedus is going to be the guest on this season's last episode on the 29th, and they should fly her out there to meet him!

She wants to save it for someone really special.

my friend's very cool and science-y kid has been collecting animal corpses and skeletons for years (tossing road kill/animal corpse into a slow cooker and boiling the meat off—smells terrible) because he's interested in anatomy and physiology. He's the gentlest 12-year old you will ever meet. I think he'll be a…

butchering is brutal (esp. pigs). I was a vegetarian for years after being scarred by various childhood hunting experiences (and helping my grandpa out at a slaughterhouse). I think if more people saw what it's like to kills and butcher an animal, fewer of us would eat meat (or eat less).

Fun fact: I learned, when I read "Flowers for Algernon" with my students, that Charlie spells "thought" as "thot" in the early chapters. They lost their SHIT.

I attended a taxidermy class with my girlfriend (our version of a date— a really expensive date) and it was mega fun. We got frozen fancy rats and had to warm them up in our hands via massage for a few minutes. (A good time to get to know the little fellas!) Then we made an incision and peeled away the skin, which…

I am a middle school teacher in Chicago, so unfortunately "thot" has been in my vocabulary for like 1.5 years now. It obviously stands for "that ho over there" and is basically a (in my opinion) even more derogatory way to refer to a girl/woman as a slut/ho/whore/etc. It's a versatile word that can be used as a noun…

And the pet's owner acted in pet-defense? I would watch that Law and Order, honestly.

Really? I don't keep abreast of these things.

In my mid-20s I wore the most outlandish things all the fucking time, and then when I hit my late 20s I still wanted to look nice, but not like I was trying too hard. So I had to learn to tolerate wearing jeans, which are not comfortable.

i would send that straight to shade court for a ruling.

If a dude has one, I still call it a FUPA. FUPA knows no gender boundaries with me.

Oh. My. God. I was walking by a mirrored building recently and I thought I saw my mother out of the corner of my eye.

hahahahahaahahahhahahahahaaaa

Ah, there's that Yankee class.

Question: is there some legal requirement that you inform your boss that you're pregnant? I kind of feel like, eventually it'll become obvious anyway, and unless you need to take off earlier than your maternity leave because of health issues, why do you need to discuss it? I would hide that shit for as long as it…

She has a whole drawer of clothes! She gets excited when we open it.

My husband and I had a fancy outdoor BBQ with wild salmon and two lambs roasted on crucifixes over a bonfire. And then the $800 cheese plate. You can see where our priorities lay. The whole wedding (80 guests) cost $9000.

custom bibs and towelettes!
