Ahhh...I understand the question a bit more. I just thought you were a rabbit (the living kind) afficionada/o.

Yes, think about the family you're building, not the one that is ripping you apart. I had an alcoholic/drug addict father who tried to "buy me off" with extra allowance so I wouldn't tell my travelling mom about his problems with passing out in the post office parking lot, etc. Mental health problems are destructive…

But your parents are so helpful! Figs (dried), wrapped in bacon with a balsamic honey sauce=snack perfection. If you can, get prosciutto, because it beats bacon, hands down.

It was the best red velvet cake ever. They put in too much oil, so it was a drippy, gooey mess of deliciousness. AND, they put chocolate chips in it. Yeahhhh...It was awesome.

I think he was a hollyhop. My old (and first in terms of EVERYTHING) boyfriend gave him to me, and everything he touched was infused with evil. Am I biased against him and anything related to him? Yes. He cheated on me with 6 different women. It was a terrible lesson, in terms of what to expect out of relationships.…

This is kind of another optional ring I could have. There were 5 diamonds on either side of a row of 5 pearls. It was a bit too glitzy and big for me, but my mom found it on Ebay and bought it.

Yes, but that ring can be reset! So, don't fret! It can become your dream ring!

Thanks! I don't think there's anyone else in the world that could put up with me (seriously, depression, anxiety disorders and a cat addiction [I have 5, 3 of which are mine] aren't quality traits), so since he's been with me for three years, he knows what he's getting into! And we're both super pumped.

My dress is a repurposed bridesmaid's dress! 20 grand could buy you 1/4 of a house where I live! But, everyone has their tastes and desires, so I can't hate on that. I thought I wasn't going to have a ring or a wedding, but turns out, I've got a ring, and I'm getting married (in a bar)!

There isn't anything in your family? Of course, you have your tastes, as do I, but I forfeited my preference for a free, 80 year old ring that belonged to my evil aunt. You can always have things reset, so it may be repurposed to your liking. I proposed to my guy by going to his work, taking out the ring that I just…

On my 17th birthday, I received a dime bag of weed, a red velvet cake, a rabbit and a DVD compilation of Bjork music videos. The combination of all that made that day the strangest one I have experienced. 8 years later, I wish I smoked weed and I wish I had a red velvet cake, and I wish that someone didn't steal my…

Yep. It's nearly 5:00 on a Saturday, and I am having my forth beer. But you know what? It's summer, I'm in Mexico, I'm going to school 4 hours a day, five times a week, at 9 a.m. everyday, and I have a high school teaching job waiting for me back home, which was offered to me. So, I don't care about recommended…

I live in Mexico City, and fireworks are set off between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Not at anytime when you can actually see them. It jst sounds like a 12 hour shootout. And that's scary because I live in a super-compact neighborhood, like I can see into the window of the highrise next door, and I always worry that my building…

I'm on the way to getting a MSW because I want to, and also because where I live, it's necessary. I live in Oklahoma and speak Spanish and since my government is trying to "improve" upon Arizona's laws, I know that there is work to be done. If I weren't doing a MSW, I'd do immersed ethnography. I can do that in OK,…

Hellbeast? That's how my friends feel about their own babies. They miss sleep, alcohol and down time, and though they love their infant, they view him/her as a hellbeast, affectionately. I view my animals as such, which doesn't compare to babies or whatever, but you can love a baby animal (in my case, a kitten, or in…

That was my my "uh, what?" moment on this dirtbag. She's looking good! I should read her tips about how mashing up carrots and oatmeal and horse poop or whatever are "good things" for to add to your skin care regimen.

My vote is the scene in "Life is Beautiful" when the kid comes out of the box at the end, after his father had been shot by the Nazis and the camp is being liberated, and the kid sees the tank and says "I won! It's my tank!". That was the first movie I even cried at, and I was in 6th grade and felt so embarrassed I…

Friendly people, for reals! If someone cuts you off in traffic, they wave to you! Aww, I miss my state. 23 days till I get to see her again! And the food. Ooooh yeah. I'm part of the co-op and you ain't never had bbq ribs until you get a local rack with local peach bbq sauce and cook it slow and low for hours...

I love his speaking voice. I want a grandpa that sounds like him. Weird: yes. Do I care: no.
