That’s good advice!  I never thought of that.  And I basically sit there and shake the entire time in the chair.  

Can relate. I have dental trauma from childhood and HATE going to the dentist for any reason but I also have a bad front tooth that was damaged about 38 years ago and I can’t really put off getting it fixed much longer. The thought of it makes me want to hurl though. I know I’ll need a crown and possibly an implant,…

Every year I ask myself “why do I live here?” and every year it gets warm in the Spring and I say “oh yeah, that’s why.” But January and February are SO HARD. And I’m in a cold apartment now. As opposed to my previous three apartments where the thermostat was set for 65 and it was still at least 75 if not warmer…

Well, I can’t take credit for the idea, I just participated.  

I worked at a huge furniture company with a team of about 12 receptionists. There were a few older ladies and one had never been married and was already in her 50's so we knew she was never going to have children but she got an adorable white shitzu puppy. We decided to throw her a surprise puppy shower. Everything…

Yes, I think an epilogue is necessary here.

Thank you for making me feel better about my family.  

Must be a last minute thing. Dan posted this on FB about 2:00 this afternoon:

In all fairness, I think they’re referring to what someone would actually pay, versus the posted price.

Did you see that the other guest is Dan Savage? Who hates her with the fire of a thousand suns and isn’t afraid to express his feelings? I think it’ll be one for the record books.

Exactly. My mother and uncle found their birth mother through a private investigator and through the investigator she begged them not to contact her. The birth mother had never told her current husband that she had two children before meeting him and she was afraid he would leave her (even though they were both in…

What these guys don’t realize is that it’s not just rent/mortgages not being paid. If you don’t have a paycheck, you don’t buy toilet paper, you buy less gas to get to work, you eat at home instead of buying lunch at the cafe down the street. You can’t plan your wedding, you can’t finance your new car, your mortgage…

Plenty of people have mentioned the Black Hebrew guys who were being offensive. All 4 of them. Why did this big group of teenage boys on a school trip fell the need to get involved in any way? Using those people to defend these guys is like saying “well, that guy on the playground was screaming really loud so I…

“I wish we could’ve walked away and avoided the whole thing.”

I was gonna say, I found out early on that I could drink a whole bottle of vodka and be fine the next morning but a single glass of wine and I’m a forking zombie for the next 24 hours. I’ve never officially tested it, but I’m pretty sure that means I’m allergic to wine.

Thank god I only have one niece and her birthday is usually around Easter so I actually remember but not because I’m great at it.

I can understand that it’s not always feasible, but I can attest to the fact that it is definitely worth the effort.
