Considering the hideous sunburn I got on the 4th of July (including the shakes while I was trying to sleep), I say high five to you!

The actress who plays Shirley said that she and some of her fellow black actresses used to try to get directors to ask for "sassy" by name instead of, like, "attitude."

Except those tiny dots on your nose aren't blackheads. They're sebaceous filaments. They're a normal function of your skin. The beauty industry has sold us this lie that they're blackheads for years. It's bull. You can't pull real blackheads out with a biore strip.

I can just see leaving the house in the morning with a cat dangling from your backside...actually that happens to me anyway even though I'm wearing bluejeans...I think my cat might need therapy.

My mom asked me to may dad's guns when he was suicidal. I would totally rip those open and sling on to myself like bad ass. I'm not into guns, but I do know how to shoot. With my pug strapped into a baby carrier, and my husband and pretty badass daughter in tow, we'd be a site to see.

Eugh! Chills, skin crawly chills. That is verbatim what the man that raped me said to the officer during his police interview. What's scary is that this excuse works.

I would like to offer a solid AMEN.

I know of at least one vegetarian who put off becoming one for like 6 months after a PETA demonstration at her school (not me).

hey - i get you. this isnt a "let me throw some things in a bag" scenario - this a is "holy shit - the dead have come back to life" or "the bombs are dropping all around me" situation you envisioning. where YOUR life is probably over too.

I have my cats' to-go/emergency stuff packed in one place in the house so I can always leave at a moment's notice. I am crazy about my cats! I live in Florida so hurricanes and other events are always an issue, so I like to be prepared. When we have our baby I'll probably have an emergency bjorn and travel bag all…

Even Mad Max had his Dog. :)

Two days ago, I came home to a blaring smoke alarm (turned out to be a faulty battery). But my first, frozen thought was this: I have 8 dogs, 5 cats, and a Fiat 500. How do I save everyone?

Ok I think about this too. Especially during tornado season! I had nightmares about escaping to the basement without my kitties. The next day I bought a pretty swanky carrier that will fit them both... but I might use the fears as an excuse to buy this anyway, because if I'm gonna be weird I might as well go all the…

Did you see any of the "preppers" shows on TLC? They all plan to bug out, but I'm wondering where everyone is bugging out to. Some folks have a place in the country, but not everyone. And what if you got there & someone else had taken over your bug out location. It's too much to think about.

also - this happened to a friend of mine fleeing katrina. her cat hid, she had to leave with one, thinking she would be back in a few days. the levees broke. she sneaked back to her apartment months later - and the cat came running out to her!

DUDE! i have 100% thought of this! (but in terms of the zombie apocalypse) do i put my cats down humanely? or release them - bc my cats are BAMFs and have caught birds on my patio (they are no longer let out for this reason). they might survive better than i would. but to think of them scared and alone breaks my heart.

I'm going to buy 2 of those baby bjorn things, strap one on my front and the other on my back, and pop my dogs in. They would last about 3 seconds on their own. My chihuahua has an electric blanket, for shit's sake. We never plug it in, but it was my mom's and she just claimed it for herself.

Hanging these monsters won't solve such a huge problem, but it will start many many conversations, and that is how the ball gets rolling; sweeping changes come from shifts in individual attitudes, and that can only come through people talking about it.

Jesus, that's terrifying. I feel like I need another shower after reading that...

When I got first engaged, most of my old classmates were like 'Where's the ring??' as opposed to ''Who's the lucky guy??'' - it seriously pissed me off. And when I told them I didn't want one, we weren't that kind of couple they got the ''aww...you poor thing'' looks on their faces, sanctimonious little asses. When…
