If that was the SoCal fair, I can thank him for you. :)

That is the first thing I thought...

Beautiful piece! I was lucky enought to do a short study abroad in Japan, and the host family I stayed with took me to the Onsen (spa) three times a week. It’s still one of my fondest memories of the trip and something I long for again. It made a HUGE difference in how I saw my body and others, which was really…

You know, I never thought I’d be rooting for a narcotrafficante, but I really want El Chapo to scare the wig off him...

Please please post pictures if you do. <3

Well you were wrong then, weren’t you.

Also in the IE- live near the LA county line, and work in San Bernardino (and yes, it’s as bad as the article said). I see and hear more racist crap like that on the regular, and it’s not just because I work with seniors. My husband, who is white, works at a college and hears all kinds of crap, because people think…

He asked if I really wanted to get married, I said yes, and here we are 16 years later. No surprise that it happened that way- when I…

Huge boobs and low self esteem here too. Perhaps we should start a club? I was engaged three times before I met my husband. I proposed to him (basically I rolled over and asked when he was gonna make an honest woman out of me, and we got married less than a year later) but I also had picked him up and threw him over…

I used to work at the box office at the big Ren Fair in CA. Busy place, so when Courtney Cox and David Arquette bought their tickets at my window, I managed to somehow miss who they were until after they were through the gate. Busy turns your brain off sometimes.

When I went to Hiroshima, and the Peace Museum, my host family made sure I had an evening that was light and fun after (we partied with some expats at a couple of different clubs they owned). I know there was discussion about how this was presented and the author’s reactions, but I will say that I cried myself sick at…
