She should’ve just said she was drunk when she wrote it. She couldn’t stop the word vomit.

This entire comment thread was unexpected and wonderful. Thank you!

Uh ... I just started eating oysters recently and may have to stop again after reading your comment. Thanks Randilyn.

I wonder if they were sweet petite creamy oysters or those giant slimy briny ones. Gagging just thinking about trying to choke down even a dozen of the latter.

Cue all the white racists talking about how racist this is. I hate that this is needed, but love that someone is doing it. And if I ever bite the bullet and take lodgers to make a bit of extra cash, I’d list on it for sure.

A friend of mine had a father who was convicted of molestation. He died of cancer in prison. What her family went through in the aftermath was pretty horrific, but she never excused his behavior, just talked about how very hard it was to reconcile the father she knew with the man who had molested young teen boys.

In the photo on Amazon, the woman has her elbows splayed out on both armrests. I inevitably get stuck sitting next to someone who decides the shared armrest is their personal armrest. Would this pillow still be comfortable if your arms were pinned more closely to your body? Also, do you use an additional pillow or…

As a 41-year-old whose face is starting to look a bit different, I think it’s because everything starts to droop downward around now. I don’t have wrinkles yet, but my face is succumbing to gravity ever so slightly and I’m trying to accept it with grace. Mostly because getting angry will probably just give me more…

I had what some might call a spiritual experience while studying abroad in Italy. Away from my strict parents and upbringing, surrounded by people and places that shocked my senses in every way. It changed me profoundly. I think it’s cynical to roll your eyes at the kind of experience artists have been purusing for…

I am a woman and occasionally camp outdoors alone. Should I be raped for sleeping outside? Just making sure I don’t need to rig up some kind of anti-rape sleeping bag.

I’m super puzzled as well. Like, racking my brain, because it just doesn’t compute. The whole post-a-selfie-to-support-a-cause concept is strange to me, but this felt way too self-promotional for such a distressing cause — especially since she has a personal connection to gun violence. “Look how hot I am while making…

Are you in a major city and how often do you see action? How many snipers are in a typical big-city PD?

I reported on the wildfires in Southern California several years ago and ended up spending time with this guy who had a huge Clydesdale. None of the available horse trailers were quite big enough so he said he planned to ride that horse as far as he needed to escape the fires. The animal was a rescue and had been…

Haha. That is so my niece. Because she does everything extra thoroughly, hand-washing takes FOREVER if I don’t say “You’re clean, I pinky promise!”

My kind of kid! High five to him. :-)

The only time I was ever bothered by a man being in the women’s bathroom was at a Euro-style hotel. The women’s bathroom contained toilets and showers, and while there were stalls, they weren’t completely private, nor was the shared space for dressing/doing makeup/etc. I was just out of the shower and wrapped in a…

Many women should learn to wipe the seat down then. It’s only fair! Unless we decide society-wide to convert to squat toilets, that is.

They could bottle and weaponize that smell.

OH MY GOD I can only imagine. I used to babysit two little boys and they were covered with sticky filth at all times, as were their bedroom and bathroom. And that was just two.

I have used men’s restrooms so many times at concerts or whatever and have never once seen any peen. The first time I saw a non family member’s member was some guy peeing just off a hiking trail. I survived. Even giggled a bunch.
