You win for Best Comeback.

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

Dad when I was 15: “You could stand to lose a few...” I was around 135 then...and I’m 5’7”.

Okay, I don’t call it that, but I buy my kids steamed milk all the time. It costs the same as non-steamed and they think they are getting something fancy. I also buy them for myself because I can’t have coffee drinks...

Isn’t that “a little vulgar” to be talking about in public, Ms Winslet?

I honestly don’t think a lot of people realize that’s part of it! Like, some awful, awful shit goes through my brain and it feels like I’m desperately trying to put up a floodgate to stop it but it doesn’t work. It’s like fighting your own brain on a constant basis and it’s exhausting.

Yeh. Enjoy your sweater. I really…

Hugs. Most people gloss over the part where you have all these intrusive thoughts about things happening to people you love and focus entirely on the part where you just must have a super clean house, right? No. I don’t. I go for long bouts of not being able to leave my house because when I do, I am bombarded with…

I get that people who don’t live with OCD probably see this as yet another example of overinflated outrage. And as one who has fairly debilitating OCD, I’ll admit that I’m offended and exhausted by this stupid sweater but not necessarily furious. The question I’d like to ask those telling me to just brush it off…

I understand to a point where people use language in certain ways and it is constantly changing (I’m just getting over the fact that ‘literally’ can be ‘figuratively’ now. Sigh) but this is the one thing I can’t get behind. It shakes me to my core.

It makes me even more mad to know that even if these people met…

I had severe OCD from six until recently. It’s horrible. Not being taken seriously makes it even harder. The sweater is not the worst thing ever, but it’s part of a bigger issue: Not taking mental illness seriously. And that’s something that kills people.

If a salesperson were to email me with those kinds of grammatical mistakes, I wouldn’t give them a second thought. People let this person be in charge of childcare?

You know what’s “cute?”

I have those intrusive thoughts about my mom, and sometimes I feel like if I just touch something the right way I’ll keep her safe. Alternatively, sometimes I’ll feel I will have caused her ill by picking something up in a certain fashion and will have to “undo” the activity. I'll usually be able to overcome this with…

I’m related-through-marriage to someone with actual severe OCD.

I’m done being really offended with this and am in the BORED NOW stage. Seriously. Because every time I try to explain to someone why OCD isn’t funny, they tell me how they like their DVDs in alphabetical order which makes them like, totally OCD too soooo.....

Rage. Rage stroke.I want to tell him to try having…

Good one!

Anyone that fakes cancer for any reason can just go fuck themselves. I have lost a sister, a mother and a step-father to that damn disease. Everyone in my family has at some point had to deal with actual cancer. It is not fun, it is not a merit badge and it is not a way to get laid and it most certainly is not a…

In 1987, when I was 10 years old, my mother had stage 3 non-Hodgkins lymphoma. Legitimately. I was TEN and watched my mom go through months of chemotherapy, and then 11 rounds of radiation treatment. I watched her down dozens of pills, many of which were not covered by insurance. I watched her lose all of her hair and…

Is it just me, or do you stop taking someone seriously the minute they use the word ‘hubby’ in a professional email?
