Wait, but now I want to know what they’re called in your native language. “Seam-ripper” is clunky.

Speaking as a longtime teacher, if your class is “distracted” by some kid’s hair, you need to step up your teaching game. Kids get distracted. They’d rather be doing something else. Deal with it.

We’re probably going to be filing a complaint about the investigator from King County Crisis who came, interviewed him, and then treated us like criminals for calling. She said that we can’t REALLY know he’s lying about taking his insulin. I’m like “there’s still pens in the fridge from January and it’s June." She…

That is our favorite restaurant here in Seattle. I'm a big fan of their Ghost Pepper Saison.

Is it Ghostfish? I'm not an IPA fan but their GF beers are amazing. 

So in the ongoing disaster that has been my 2019, last week my stepson was admitted to an inpatient eating disorder program. He’s been having a mental health crisis since January and we’ve been desperately trying to get him help. I’ve also been saying that he has an eating disorder for about half his life; this is the…

When I was a wee little Bells, I read a story about Spontaneous Human Combustion aaaand for years I was utterly terrified that it was real and it might happen to me at any moment.

My ex’s entire family. He’s literally 2 generations out of Mexico, but he still thinks he’s gonna be on this side of the wall.

They were uh ... not the smartest, no. I told my boss when I interviewed that I wasn’t Christian, so she clearly didn’t discriminate. I didn’t work in their department and I had pretty much no contact with them over the course of a day. When my boss accidentally let it slip during a manager’s meeting, she knew right…

It took me until like the 5th time I saw it for it to click. 

The sex scenes were pretty stupid, I’ll give you that.

People are always shocked when I say these are Crocs.

I am a lifelong non-Christian and I worked at a YMCA for 5 years. It is still one of the best jobs I’ve ever had. And that’s even factoring in that a couple other employees tried to have me fired when they found out I wasn’t Christian, because my very Catholic boss, as well as her boss, stood up for me and told them…

Yeah my local Y was way more expensive than the gym I joined, but they also have a lot more amenities.

What I enjoy about crime and detective stories is, for me, they fill the same niche as romance novels do for many people. You get a happy ending (the criminal is caught) usually. The detective has to outsmart the villain. I enjoy watching people be clever and solve puzzles. I’m not clever enough to solve great…

The thing is, they’ll only measure you for sizes they actually carry. If you’re an unusual size, they’ll lie and tell you you’re a size they sell. My sister is like a 30G and VS tells her she’s a 34DD.

Engineers, too. That’s how my dad always wrote.

I found Modcloth’s size charts to be TERRIBLE. Especially for dresses; I never bought a dress from them that actually fit me. Shoes and blouses were usually ok but I gave up on ordering dresses from them.

I honestly can’t blame either of them for getting it wrong. Who can even keep up.

The last time I went into a VS, the woman insisted on measuring me, claimed I was a cup size smaller than I actually am (I sew. I know my own measurements very well), and then kept trying to bring me underwire bras to try, which I was very clear I won’t wear. What’s the point of buying an overpriced shitty bra AND…
