In my family/state, it's safe to assume that "salad" is going to be primarily made of either mayonnaise (eg: egg salad, pasta salad, potato salad) or whipped cream. The best sweet salad I've had is a combo of whipped cream, fruit cocktail, mandarin oranges, mini marshmallows, and crushed Fudge Stripe Cookies).

Standard attack about how MY cousin's step-sister's aunt is a doctor and said the opposite as you! Plus, story about my one friend which DISPROVES all the things you said!

I think this is the fault of Big Pharma, pumping toxins into our children's bloodstreams. Clearly these kids need to eat more organic food. Also, they need to get some healing crystals. Healing crystals fix everything.

why of course...it causes autism, new polio, stupidity, and lots of other really bad stuff...nurse friend of mine told me about this friend of her doctor who was doing research on this topic.

I want to learn about what is hurtful speech in your community.

I guess the important point of all these studies/blogs/posts is that women can now actually admit they don't want kids. Think about it. Any of us in our 30s or older - did it even cross our minds when we were younger that we didn't have to have kids? I can not think of any one who openly admitted to not wanting them,…

I'm sick and tired of the "up for the challenge" bullshit. Many just have sex and then there's a kid... The "up for the challenge" decision as said by the author implies those of us who chose not to have kids decided we weren't up for the challenge. Bullshit. I made my decision, and it wasn't selfish, it wasn't b/c…

I made the choice around age 19 to never have kids. All my sibs have them, my family is doing just fine. My life is full, fun, and I have plenty of joy. Would kids have made it better? Dunno. Maybe, maybe not and I'll never know. But the good news is I'm plenty happy and don't suffer from FOMO. Super thrilled to not…

Can we please stop painting parenting as the only way to get "the highest highs" in life? It's extremely self-righteous and condescending to those who don't want kids, and a knife to the heart of those that do but are having fertility issues. People are different and varied and value different things. You do you &…

The popularization of reiki is based solidly in the orientalization and exoticization of the other, and while that doesn't mean that any individual practitioner of reiki is an Orientalist, the language that the letter writer uses ("she's truly on a higher wavelength") is fairly damning.

I took that to mean "the type of activity that meets once a week in a Unitarian church basement" (since they're pretty open about hosting all kinds of things, even when they're not necessarily related to Unitarian beliefs,) rather than an actual criticism of Unitarians themselves (which is definitely unwarranted,…

We laugh at your science, humanz.

I have a tattoo that fans of a certain book tend to get - one time I walked into a tattoo parlor, just to see what their art looked like, and a girl had my tattoo on a piece of paper, waiting to see an artist about it. I got all excited, and showed her my tattoo. She was clearly HORRIFIED that someone else had the…

Most of the time these riders have a few quarky "demands" in them so that the "artist" knows immediately that their contract has beed read thoroughly. When they are touring or travelling and gripped by tight schedules, this is a quick way to know that they'll be paid and/or compensated according to the agreement…

Ughhh. I hate it when people do the whole non-conformist eye-roll and say, "I thought about getting a tattoo, but now everybody's getting them. Yawn." How do they not hear the utter cockshittery of their own words? The entire point of doing what you want is doing what you want, whether you're the first person or the…

I would like this article, but the mind-controlling parasite I picked up from my cat's litter box is making me click a different link.

"I was all about Hidden Dicks before they were cool."

I hear you — but Jezebel is the first place I've ever been able to voice the very real feeling that I don't want to be a mom and to find a community of people who feel the same. For most of history, women have been taught that their greatest purpose in life was to be a mom. And for many it is, and that's great! But…

Something like that. However, I must amend my answer to remove the capitalization, pursuant to Blue Book Rule B7.3.1
