Just a dumb dude here, but am I missing something? Where is the future spouse in this equation? How about dealing with the asshole sister together? If the future spouse can’t stand up to family now, fuss which side he will choose down the road....

Amen! I also suffer from IBS. My worst “incident” happened on my first day performing at Disneyland. Drum major, white uniform, Main St. parade in June, destroying the third stall down in the Adventureland women’s room 5 mins before the parade started and praying to Mickey that I would not shit myself in front of…

I know we will have to co-parent, regardless of the outcome, so we are both seeking counseling in order to work through issues to be better parents. I just don’t know what is right, or at least, what other people would do in a situation like this.

things they apparently don’t need: access to healthcare, treatment for std’s, reproductive education, cancer screening, contraceptives, advocates and allies.

“Women have very little idea of how much men hate them”

This administration is already bringing out the best in people. I cannot wait to see where this leads...

I remember a whole news episode of some douche-bro yelling “F*ck her right in the p*ssy” during a live broadcast from a soccer game in Toronto. This guy got lambasted and lost his job, he wasn’t even a politician. What gives these public figures / civil servants / representatives of the public the right to spout this…

How do we get engaged in all this horse crap? Please publish the list of people running against folks like Bill Kintner, so I can support them and get this creep out of office. Gawker, my advice is every time you mention one of these fools, publish the candidate that is running against them. I’d happily give that…

Can you really be “too gay” for magical underpants?

I live in Portland Oregon. Relevant because our city government has adopted a policy of malign neglect to the homeless. You can set up a tent, even a tent city, pretty much anywhere on city property that isn’t a city park.

I was hoping to see a full headline that ended with “....from a cannon into the sun” but this is good too.

Late to the party, but here it goes....

My husband has a good body horror story. Since he doesn’t come here, I’ll share on his behalf. I didn’t witness it, but he told me in great detail.

I had a weird pain in my big toe that ignoed, until after not sleeping for 36 hours and being on the max dose of tylenol, I passed out in the shower. Turns out I had a giant leaking abcess. Before going to the hospital, I did what any reasonable person would do. I drew a face on it, made my toe a little hat and scarf…

In the mid-80's, when I was about 16, I got knocked off my motorbike by a car that didn’t see me and didn’t stop coming out of a side road. I ended up in hospital with a broken ankle and sprained wrist.

They plastered my ankle and wrist and sent me home.

I had MRSA for 2 years, undiagnosed (when I asked why I kept getting abscesses, I was told I was either diabetic or HIV+). Of the many, many abscesses I had during that time, one was on my nipple. I didn’t have health insurance, so I finally went to the St. Lukes emergency room to have it taken care off. They gave me…

My husband, baby & I all got a stomach virus after attending a schmancy dinner party after an art opening at a collector’s house. (It was probably norovirus as we later found lots of guests ended up with the same thing). My husband was the first to start with the vomiting & explosive diarrhea. Now when he is sick, I…

While breastfeeding I thought I had an infection because one milk duct was hard and hot, but it turned out skin had grown over the opening of my nipple. So I stabbed myself in the nipple with a needle and breast milk shot all over the bathroom like an out of control sprinkler.

Our curmudgeonly old boy passed unexpectedly last night. We came home to our door wide open and still locked. Nothing was taken but somehow (strong winds yesterday perhaps) our door was wide open when we got home. We found our cats and got them inside safely. Our pup however was not so fortunate. I found him lying in…
