I am 32 now (as of last week!), and I can no longer drink at all. About 3 years ago, I got drunker than I'd ever been in my life, and ended up puking in a cab because of it (first and only time I ever puked from drinking). Ever since then, I've been able to drink less and less without getting sick to my stomach. …

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is so beyond awesome. It's honestly one of the main reasons I still refuse to use i-products. If my money has to support one group of insanely wealthy people over another, I'd like some of it to at least trickle here.

Someone else thought a tabby. I could very well be wrong. I just saw what looked like fairly well designed spots.

I've thankfully trained both of mine to sleep at night when we do, but the second they see my eyes open in the morning it's play/chatter time. One of them, whose nickname is Noise, keeps up a constant stream of loud meows the whole time I'm showering and getting ready in the morning. I choose to believe she's…

Some of my friends didn't believe my cats could get anywhere in the house (due to insane squirming and jumping abilities) that they wanted until I posted this picture:

My husband is a total extrovert, and I'm an introvert. We go out with friends together about once or twice a week, which is enough for me, and he goes out by himself to hang with this friends or play 40k another couple nights a week. He gets to socialize; I get alone time. Happiness ensues.

Pretty sure that's a Bengal. They are the most incredible cats ever (I have two)- they're insanely active, and love to talk with you.

Thanks to everyone who posted here. You've all given me a lot to think about, and sometimes it's just nice to be alone with this. Sounds like a lot of people are in the same boat I am.

Oh, man. I want another kitten so bad. Mr L and I already have the name picked out for our next one. We already have two adult cats, and love them to death, but since I don't want to clean the litter boxes from THREE cats I know it means I can't get another kitten for a decade or so. *sigh*

I never went to counseling when he died. It was a horrible time, but my family just stuck together and talked constantly and what I was suffering didn't feel worse than anyone else, by a long shot. The grief just seems to have settled into a heavy constant in my life, and I was curious how common that is.

I get where you're coming from. My in-laws live about 5 minutes away. Before my bf and I moved in together, his parents had a key to his apartment and would often drop in unexpectedly. He even described how he would occasionally come home from work to find them on his couch, watching tv. The apt would be cleaned…

I definitely agree with the "do it as soon as possible" bit. My brother never met the man who is now my husband. We'd been going out for about 6 months, and we'd made a couple plans to get together so the two of them could meet, but they always seemed to fall through. We set another date for him and his wife to…

In my opinion, it's never NOT a concern. I'd talk to a doctor right away. They might have you wear a monitor for a few days, and you can have one of your exercise sessions while wearing it- that might help narrow down the cause.

My brother died almost three years ago, and while I've learned to get on with life, it's surprised me to learn that grief doesn't ever really lessen over the years, at least not this quickly. I just got married a few weeks ago, and I can't stop thinking about how much I would have loved to have him there with the…

It was a little unnerving, but it takes so long (1.5 hours-ish) I just about fell asleep on the table.

I do feel lucky- while both of us work hard, there's been a number of times in our lives that we've been in the right place at the right time. I also know that by not having kids, we're missing out on experiences that they'll have. It's just that I'll be visiting my family tomorrow for the first time since the…

My eyelashes are short and almost colourless. A few weeks ago I got eyelash extensions for the first time (it was for a special occasion), and the difference was incredible. I'm really thinking about continuing to get refills every month. It's not the cheapest, but if you're really looking for a change, they're…

I didn't date until my late 20s, just because I was happy enough being single that I never really sought anything else out (and no one tried too hard to seek me out). When I was 29, I started dating someone for the first time, and that's when I lost my virginity. You're not alone, trust me! I'm now happily married…

How do you guys deal with lifestyle guilt? I just spent the day shopping for kitchen stuff using gift cards that I received when I got married a few weeks ago. The thing is, whenever I go shopping for frivolous stuff, I always feel guilty. My husband and I make a good living for where we live, especially since we…

I just wish that Melissa McCarthy played the tightly wound, well dressed character, and Sandra Bullock was the slob. Then we might actually be breaking new ground.
