I'm glad there are people like you and Megan out there. Every single one of my friends who have kids insist that I will want them someday. I'm 32. I don't think that someday is coming. I've made a decision and I'm happy with it, but I can't openly talk about it to my closet friends because they don't believe me. …

Yep. Same boat. I thought so for awhile that I needed (not necessarily wanted) to have kids. That phase has past and I'm actually really looking forward to my life now! I still have so much traveling I want to do, and I want to go back to school, and maybe change my career. And having come to accept that I just…

Thank you! This was super helpful. I really think it's something I want to do and hearing from someone who's done it helps. The only friends I have who foster foster cats, which just isn't my think.

I actually wonder how much knowledge goes in to shelters guessing the breed. I picture a dart board of breeds and whatever two they hit is what they market the dog as. "Uh, this one is a Husky/Chihuahua mix!"

Serious question, as I'm considering fostering to fight my urge to get a second dog (might be going back to school in a year's time, so not sure if this is the right time to add a second one to the mix). How do you not want to keep every dog you foster?

Oh my oh my oh my!! Your pooch on the left looks JUST like my guy! AT least from that angle. Here's my dude. We think shepherd/collie mix. But who knows.

1982 here. I feel ya. I work at a college and technically the students I work with are in the same generation as me. What?! But I didn't have cell phone until I was 20, I grew up recording my favorite TV shows on BETA so I could watch them later, and I played outside every damn day all summer long because we did…

Yes! Please tell what kind of school you went to! I went to a small Catholic school where boys weren't allowed in your dorm room after 10pm, and I still got to wear whatever I wanted to my college graduation (lipstick, 3 bloody marys, and my oldest pair of Chuck Taylor's).

Carcetti is just so much more fun to shout at the screen than Little Finger.

Caddywhompus?! I've never heard this word. But I LOVE it! It has officially been instated into my repertoire. Thank you!

I clicked on this link because I thought my parents had finally thrown in the towel.

I was the same way! I was probably 105 in high school and my best friend's favorite story about my mega eating was the time we went to ihop and I ordered (and ate) a burger, fries, salad, a milkshake, and everyone's leftovers. And toward the end of the meal when everyone had switched to coffee and cigarettes I added…

The bathroom is the one room my dog won't go in. He got a bath there once 4 years ago. However, it is the one place my boyfriend and I can stand and hug, because if we hug anywhere else, the dog wants to be a part of it and tries to jump up and join us.

Don't dis on Dunkin regulars! I like my DD coffee black. But I will admit to occasionally indulging in some sugary monstrosity in the form of a large iced butter pecan coffee because it tastes like summertime!!

We aren't engaged yet but have been talking logistics to see what will be reasonable once we do decide to make it official. I already have a family ring, so once we decide to make it official I'll just slap the thing on. I'm sure we're going to disappoint a ton of people by not having some big luxurious hoopla, but…

I've found it easier and easier over the years to "Just Say No" but I still get the "What?! You aren't going to So and So's wedding?!" I just sent in a decline the other day for a hs friend who I have seen ONCE in the past 12 months. Sorry buddy, but you live three miles away from me. I'm not flying out to your…

I always laugh in yoga when the instructor tells us how challenging corpse pose is and I'm usually like, "honey, I got this." And then I fall asleep on my mat.

I started drinking coffee at 14 because I had a long commute to school and had to wake up before dawn. My parent's didn't seem to have any issue with me leaving the house with a thermos of coffee. Now, well, let's just say I should own a small plot of land in Colombia for what I contribute to the coffee trade!

Totally agree with you. I think people are missing the point here. It's less about the scientific effects of caffeine and more about the fact that this school was giving all of the children Mountain Dew, which is one of the most disgusting chemical filled drinks out there! I mean, seriously, I don't know if that…

I HATE underwire poking!!
