God, y'all wanna hang out some time? I've still got Thin Mints and I'm really into simple origami right now.

Technically engagement tattoos. Still saving up for the actual wedding ones, which will be skeleton keys with the room number underneath of where we stayed when we eloped. (We were married by his best friend via Skype in the hotel.)

Husband and I secretly eloped in Key West, came back with fancy new rings and coordinates of the beach we got hitched on.

I just spent a few minutes searching & clicking it to push it up in the Google search results. I consider it my civic duty much as I considered it my duty to periodically search Rick Santorum and select the Spreading Santorum website.

I think it's my responsibility as a sane American to get tedcruz.com much higher on that website list. Posting to facebook now.

"No, ma'am, actually the sun is going to remain in its place as it has for millions of years. The Earth, however, will continue spinning and proceeding on its orbit as planned; would you like me to ask a manager to pull the emergency brake?"

You also get super expensive anti-stretch mark cream on prescription for free. And absolutely tons of medical tests regarding immunity and antibodies unavailable on the NHS in the UK because they are expensive. Healthcare isn't for free - French people pay up front but get 70% or so back at the end of the tax year. …

No, because if someone commits fraud then the judicial system would be investigating which means a judge can grant the order. The only thing this law does is streamline the requirement to settle such issues in court instead of just having them end up there 90% of the time anyway. I'm sorry I don't share your butthurt…

I'd be angry at my partner's duplicity. But the child I raised? All its life? That is my fucking kid whether it has my DNA or not.

People keep making the claim that you can't compare the US to Sweden (I know this particular piece is about France, but I'm using Sweden because, that's why) because of the difference in size and geography, but they are surprisingly comparable: They have similar population density (actually the US has more people per…

So Canada is not perfect, but we have things that you don't have that make me wonder why you all haven't stormed Washington in a mass fit of rage. This is one of them.

I'd like to respond but I can't stop laughing at that name XD

Actually they're illegal without the written consent of both parties unless there is a court order. But don't let facts get in the way of your ridiculous sperm-jacking panic.

He said I made "choices" that resulted in a rape back in college, and that was the last time I spoke to him.

Gently reminding someone that you could ruin their life isn't blackmail, jeez. It's just the law!

oh my god, seriously. My partner and I are open, but one of the three rules we have is "if both of us aren't involved, use the guest bed, not OUR bed."

(Rules 2 and 3 are "be honest" and "use protection")

Wow. He's the worst, but your former mother-in-law can go fuck herself with a cactus too.

Okay. It's long!

The "caught" part: He had asked me to grab his phone and take it to him at work, since he'd forgotten it. It was on my way to my job so of course I did it. I grabbed it and at some point needed the time or something so I clicked it open (pre-password days) and saw a winky-face text from number with a…

My mom was trying to get back in shape after her 4th kid by walking around the neighborhood. She repeatedly saw the same woman walking at the same time as her and so they eventually started up a conversation and became walking buddies. They both talked about their husband and boyfriend, thinking nothing of them…

AHHH I am so excited I might just forgive my cat!
