I have discovered an exit out of the Friendzone. Tequila.

Our cat went from only having dry food with her previous owners to only having high quality wet food with us (due to cystitis and rotting teeth issues). She is not happy with the food we put in front of her plate most nights. She dreams of nights of eating unlimited whiskas.

It's understandable that you're worried about him, all good parents worry about their kids! But it sounds like you did the right thing in having a chat with him and seeing how he feels. I was a super scrawny kid when I was younger and my parents would make me worried that I wasn't eating enough by saying that I'd end…

If the blood tests come back as normal and the doctor says he's healthy, then why would he need to lift weights? It sounds like he has a reasonably healthy diet (pretty amazing to have a child who doesn't want to drink pop!). How does he feel about his body? I think it's most important just to keep him healthy by…

So cute! My boyfriend bought a samsung tablet last year that we named James Franco because of a really smug advert of James Franco advertising the tablet. Our cat decided that the protective cover for the tablet (or, as we called it, James Franco's coat) would be perfect as a new mini bed so proceeded to sit on it…

That sounds awesome! I have some photoshop skillz and would be happy to do them for you if I didn't have a thesis to write!

We recently got a snuggly blanket for the sofa that's very soft. The cat decided 'yesss, new blanket for ME!' and is now having a love affair with it. She sits on my lap for longer now if the blanket is over me. She sleeps on it at night, and when we're falling asleep we can hear her purring to herself and clawing the…

That sounds really nice!

90's me is very jealous of you. I actually still kind of like that dress now. Is that bad?

It absolutely sucks that she is going through this, but Midwest Ms has a point. In the Gift of Fear the author talks about decreasing your availability to the perpetrators as much as possible to stop them from having an investment in you and giving them an opportunity to talk to you. While that means that in some ways…

I signed up for that years ago and did it twice. I ignore the reminder email every day.

That is the most batshit article I have ever read.

Mr Tayto and I have agreed that we are never pressing the snooze button again and will get up at the same time everyday, no matter what time we go to bed at. We are both tired of being tired most days of the week as our bodies struggle to keep up with our erratic sleeping hours.

And at the same time, Michelle Branch sighs - after all these years, people still get her confused with Vanessa Carlton.

I love the Zelda soundtrack! Sometimes I leave it playing in the background while my cat does her usual sniffing and exploring of the house - it makes everything she does look epic.

I asked my mom for a hair tie the other day, and she gave me a choice between a larger scrunchie and a smaller scrunchie. "It's more fashionable for scrunchies to be smaller now" she said, oblivious to the fact that scrunchies, whether big or small, have not been considered fashionable recently. I have no idea where…

I feel for you. It is really difficult going back, I only go back for holidays but I still revert to being a teenager within hours of arriving home. My mom constantly wants to make sure I'm 'warm enough', which means she'll inspect my clothes before I go out to make sure I won't freeze. Yes, it's because she cares,…

This happened to me a few years ago too, but then it turned out that I actually had an ovarian tumor growing inside of me. Only one person asked me straight out if I was pregnant (before I knew it was a tumor) and it was aaaaawkward.

I also wanted to add - hostels are great too, not just Airbnb! I tend to search both for hostels and on Airbnb when I search for accommodation in a city and then choose the best sounding ones.
