You know how champagne can only be called champagne if the grapes are grown in the Champagne area of France? And same with Parmesan cheese? Well, they should make equivalent rules for nachos. No fecking Doritos.

I am guessing that you would be devastated to hear that I once was served chilli heatwave Doritos as the 'nachos'. It was terrible.

does this mean that I can go and find the denim scrunchie I had when I was ten?

You're awesome! My cat has a heart murmur and she is a sprightly 13 years old and has a great life.

Incredibly wise advice! Unfortunately the NHS does not seem to offer skin mole mapping, so UK people can't do it :(. However I found this resource that I will definitely be using: http://www.aad.org/File%20Library…

lightening hit nearby when my boyfriend and I were in a canoe, about 300 metres from shore. I have never canoed as fast in my life. Also, sea canoeing is totally misleadingly fun. It is not fun, it is hard work.

Well done for graduating on time, that's really great. And your words have been really nice to hear, you're right that things can turn out okay in the end, they just feel so bad right now. I'm so mad at myself for prolonging my stress, but I have to stop being mad if I want to be able to do it. I just was always a bit…

I know I will feel so much better when it's done, it just seems so hard to get to the 'done' part. :(

I'm sorry to hear that. It is the worst. I wish I had more contact with people who are finding it difficult, because I end up feeling so alone. I work on my own, which doesn't help. Good luck with your studies.

Yes!

same happened to my sister! And later on in the night, the midwife found her blue again as she couldn't breathe. Saved her life.

I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this. Maybe this Captain Awkward post will help? It's not the same situation but there's stuff on boundary setting with parents: http://captainawkward.com/2013/12/19/531…

that is difficult, but it sounds like you have the right idea in mind. In the past, when I've had problems with friends, my mom always gives the advice 'dilute her!' Being a work environment, it definitely will be easier said than done, but maybe you could start being unavailable for social things, or change your…

true story: Gillian Anderson was my friend's landlord a few years ago.

it was a well-meaning creepy lady who went to church with the people in the neighbourhood!

I went to Split, Croatia with my boyfriend a few weeks ago. The whole time, he kept on saying 'You know what's going to happen when we get to Splitsville'. We managed to make it through Splitsville and are still together. I'm a bit worried that he'll send me to Dumpsville next though.

What kind of things did she say that ruffled your feathers? I tried to find the article but only found a 'highlights' version.

marry me!
