Me too. My Mom is diabetic, which is hereditary in the family, but she also spent her whole life as the "fat sister" to my aunt who's, from what I can tell as someone who's been there, disordered with her eating and dysmorphic about her body.

Yup me too, and therefore this article pisses me off. More articles giving women paranoia about their ability/inability to orgasm and what it *means* v. men. Is the orgasm obsession even actually about female pleasure? I would probably come with a partner if I did not feel as if I had to come in order to have a…

She's been pretty disappointing with the stripper/prostitute jokes too. For awhile. Unimpressed :/

Yes! I know one of these and her name was so very confusing at first.

Yeah I accept this too as a "not lame" way to die.

The battleship is classic! It's the best! Long live (the miniature Monopoly) battleship!

This was what made me happy after reading the sad prison smuggle cat story. I love this kid! When I was little I had an airbrushed pillow-case made saying "88i88 Loves Cats" and I paid to have a stray kitten spayed with my allowance, and then my Mom let me keep her. I relate!

Yes this dude seems reasonable so I want more on the wedges thing. Why are wedges anti-sexy? Like, not thick platform-y ones but just like a 2" graduated wedge on like a sandal or pump? Ha and for the record my Mom beat it into me from middle school onward that platforms make me look fat since I'm short. Does not…

Heh my tortie is a total sweetheart - she's just super feisty and would have been rolling around with these birds! (Brief proof of sweetheart-ness: she will flip over onto her back and grunt to solicit belly rubs AWWWWWWW).

Actually it's all of the 3rd series that paints Thomas in a further sympathetic light. And yeah I do really really want to talk about stuff that happens in the 3rd series but I don't want to, you know, give away actual huge spoilers.

Right! Is this just so Target could keep the biggest designer's price points relatively low, or so "real" Marchesa customers don't feel the brand was diluted by all us norms in a Target dress? I don't get it.

Wow, I thought this had been a terrible year after March (March was AWESOME), but then I realized I went through four of the piles. Four of the piles! I did so much!

I had braces very early (4th grade, so about age 9?), and it was The Worst. I had head-gear and I endured bullying that continued after the braces came off because I was basically entering high school at that point. Terrible. Painful. Apparently I "needed them" but it was long and arduous and I'm sure expensive, and…

Right? And so much goes on this season I'd be surprised if most US-watching fans aren't spoiled to major plot points before it airs...

I had the same reaction. Well-said!

Agreed. I lived around the corner from the theater when Pee-Wee got caught in Sarasota and I knew I was supposed to think he was a perv but it just didn't make sense...

This is happening to my Aunt and my family now and has been for over 10 years. She's finally at a place where she's in support groups and getting help for herself. There's so much guilt and fear that extends outward to the entire family. It's terrible for everyone and now that he's an adult, so difficult for her to…

Yeahhhh, when I was about 4/5 our three cats died in very close succession of cancer, from their food (early 80s), and my parents told me that they'd been "put to sleep." I equated sleep with death for years and years and believe this to be the root of my terrible insomnia. No joke. Conflating sleep/death is one of…

Well, as a woman who's been call a "man hater" and all that, I find your anecdote here to be completely acceptable and your attraction to this lady seems more than "face value" and more like you admired her for being serious about a hobby you're passionate for. Sooooo...keep on having crushes on girls at the track,…

I....love these.
