It’s completely ridiculous and rather disturbing.

I keep thinking about what we can do to

I was 14. I was on vacation with my family (mom, dad, younger sister) at Disney World. DISNEY. WORLD. After a day in the parks, we went to the hotel pool to relax. We were staying at a Disney Property hotel. I was wearing a Speedo bathing suit since at that time I was on a summer swim team and I didn't own a two-piece

I honestly don't recall having any clothing that had my name on it. I don't remember this whole monogramming/embroidery thing being big when I was a kid. Or, more likely, my family avoided it in order to pass clothing down to future children. I'm always amused when I go to my grandpa's house and see pictures with the

Don't get me wrong, I knew plenty of people who had sex in high school. I was just raised in a very strict Catholic household, and I was terrified of a) getting pregnant or b) my parents finding out. Plus at the time, high school me was enamored with the "romantic" idea of waiting for my One True Love (tm). Then I

Doesn't the definition of "Millennials" include high school students? In High School I was convinced I'd wait until marriage (plus I had a weird sex ed teacher equated virginity to a diamond ring - something special that can be given only once). Then I got to college and it all went out the window.

So, I'm getting married this October in Northern VA (20 min west of Dulles Airport), so I'm in the greater DC/MD/VA metro area too (*waves*). Our DJ cost ended up around $1800, and that's for ceremony, cocktail hour, and 4 hour reception. I was quoted anywhere from $1600 to $3000+ by other DJs. I do not have family

This is the very topic that almost ended my relationship. I'm firmly in camp "meh" when it comes to children, but I found out about two years ago that my now-fiancé considers it a life goal to be a father. I go back and forth between wanting to be a parent and not wanting to give up the live I've worked so long and

I've seen this "style" of writing used on a few blogs I read. One of the bloggers refers to herself as a "writer." I think she's trying to be "evocative" and "creative" but mostly it comes off as "trying way too hard."

It is now my life's mission to replicate the perfection that is Angelina Jolie's death stare. It is a thing of beauty, and if it is this powerful in a photograph it is a miracle that Amy Pascal wasn't incinerated on the spot.

I just pretend she's Clarissa's long-lost older sister who is a total square. It helps preserve the magic/not ruin my childhood.

I smell an OSHA violation. Or fifty.

California Surfer Jesus?

Can't hurt, and you may get a second look from LBGTQ allies like myself :) (seriously, though, I can't in good conscious use services that would not be available to several of my friends)!

ZOMG yesssssss! Holy hell the lyrics to that song are super-disturbing and misogynistic.

If they're smart, yes. If they want to play the role of Persecuted Christian Martyr Who Took a Stand (Kirk Cameron's summer 2016 release), then no.

"This can't be wrong...except God says it is wrong and God is never wrong about anything, ever, because he's God and God's ways are better than man's ways."

It's the "love the sinner, hate the sin" mentality - I will be your friend, but I won't encourage/support your behavior.

My guess is that people will learn to speak in code that can't be sub-divided out to legally charge them long before they'll change their opinions about doing gay weddings if they are the type of person that thinks gay marriage is bad or whatever.
