I'm moving to LA from the northeast, and I've been totally buying into this "dry heat is more tolerable" thing. It can be 70 degrees here and 85% humidity and it feels like it's 100 and I sweat like a total dripping woman-fool. I just hope to drip less out there. Can a girl dream? That said...I am SO done with winter,…

I think "per year" needs to be added to that sentence. And as others said she probably means women and girls who are raped and murdered along those routes.

Costa Rica! I was trying to guess. First I thought Hawaii but the photo wasn't mountain-y enough, and had too much jungle. You used arse and spelled out pounds, so then I thought New Zealand but again, jungle. So I was like, "probably South America?" But places like Papua New Guinea were also an option. I'm a travel…

Well, they're actually both in writing (DUCKS, HIDES), and even worse? My thesis was a book of poetry. I don't suck though and I had badass poet for an adviser.

Ahahaha, the other night I mistook a photo of two dogs for a photo of a Kiwi bird.

Wait, kittens ruined tennis? Does this end well, or will I just cry if I Google "kittens ruin tennis." Ha!

Also chiming in with an "I'm so sorry." If it makes you feel any better, I have zero tolerance for stories of the deaths of pets, and am now crying a little for your kitty.

Holy crap right? And I found out in the Jezebel comments section on a post about the Bachelorette's suitor's bad poems? I actually have a couple degrees in English, this news is kind of shocking.

Thanks! We have very photogenic kitties. She's so twisty!

I had to sleep on my back from basically September through June between the injury, surgery, and rehab, which was the worst because I usually sleep on my stomach. But this bed! This bed could have done good things.

I will go on forever, so I'm happy to oblige. For your consideration: an older photo of "GK" (my friends all call her that too), where you can see her signature "jazz paw." She's very paw-oriented. This is right after I got her, so she's about 2 here.

Could this be a religion thing? I was raised by Roman Catholic Italians and therefore did not use a tampon until after having sex for the first time, primarily because it just wasn't an option in my house growing up...

Aww poor lady! I am glad you saved her, and now she has the best house ever. Room with a view indeed.

Awww, I was thinking this was a really good idea and stuff, and I'm even all single and jaded about love. I had shoulder surgery this year and it would be awesome to stick my bad arm in a soft void so I don't put pressure on it. Same concept as cuddling! But alas. I eat in bed. And also dildos.

Honestly I'd be worried about my own personal safety and my "image getting out" in this situation and want to throw my vote in for "don't tell." It's not your mess, but it really really could be if someone goes wacky on you. If there's some way to do it completely anonymously, wherein he'd have to name you to her…

I think torties are more likely to get really attached to one person, so it would make sense that they trust their people to touch them in the soft soft belly. I have never had another cat who lets me, and so extensively. I give her little scratches under her armpits and she stretches her arms out. At the moment…

Yeah, seriously! My cat is named Grace Kelly and she's seriously slumming it compared to Mathilde. We're moving to a sunnier place that has palm trees soon, so maybe she'll forgive me...eventually.

Yes, same! My cat is pretty much all playtime, all of the time, except during her "mellow hours" at night. It's always so cute and funny to hear the grunts when I can't see her, and when I go look she's all arching her back with her paws in the air.

What on earth is that amazing structure she seems to be in!? It's like a little hobbit-home. Or a really stylish boat? My cat is jealous now.

Okay so...my cat LIKES ME TO TOUCH HER BELLY. I'm always shoving my face into her fluff. Why is this a thing we want to do? It's just so soft...so so soft. My cat will make little grunts and roll over and kinda gesture for me to rub her belly. It's the cutest. Here is a photo of the fluff.
