My sister has a particularly rowdy pup, and the dog park is her favorite place since she can just run wild and free without a care in the world. One afternoon a woman brought her small child to the dog park and the kid got trampled by the dog. The kid's mom had the gaul to reprimand my sister for not paying closer…

Kinda seems like your last bullet missed the point of the entire article...

We scored free tickets to the Lady Gaga show in Denver that night. The show itself was pretty fun, but it "started" at 7:30 and she didn't come on until 9:30 after about an hour of NOTHING happening which I would have been super pissed about if I'd dropped $75. (Well, I was anyway because fuck that, it was Wednesday…

True story: my boss once sat next to Mr. Sutherland on a transatlantic flight while he had his hand up some chick's skirt. This chick was not, apparently, his wife....

I'm in France and I'm drunk on wine and I just figured out how to change the country settings on my computer so I can finally watch OITNB on Netflix! I think this calls for some more wine. And cheese. It's only 12:54 AM here.

I got to see Obvious Child this week (thanks, Jezebel!) and it is FANTASTIC. I haven't been that excited for a movie in a long time. I dragged the BF along (he wasn't too sure what to expect) but he was cracking up the whole time..

I still watch this on a somewhat regular basis. It's hilarious and sweet and who cares if it's cheesy?

This show seems like something Jack Donaghy would have cooked up to score ratings (a la MILF Island.) The premise is just that absurd, it's almost tempting to hope someone created it as a way to be all, "No one's really buying this reality TV jig anymore, so how outlandish can we be?"

I've been waiting for a post about this on here since I saw the episode. I think my brain almost short circuited trying to process the bit. "I'm white-is it OK to laugh at this? Is this OK for anyone to laugh at? Can women? Men? Only black women but no black men? Any women but no men?" And then at the end, my…

I do like the horror/scifi genre with some caveats. I'm a big chicken, so sometimes I get spooked... But read American Gods and liked that. I read "Rebecca' at Halloween last year and the book was impossible to put down and nearly perfect. I fully intend to read it again.

I keep seeing the dark materials book recommended on the internet, so I'll have to add it now! And short reads are a great break from the long haul novels. Thanks!

Is it too late?? I always forget when these happen. And I see a variation on this post a lot, but does anyone have book recommendations? Like, books so good you will bail on on your friends for a solid week just to get through it? Examples of books I've recently done this with: "The Goldfinch" by Donna Tartt, "The…

No Blackfish?? I was certain that would win, and it wasn't even nominated? Boo. I saw it on Netflix like a month ago and it's STILL in my head. I'm pretty sure my boyfriend is sick to death of me talking about it (I also read "Death at Sea World" which I highly recommend-more in depth than Blackfish but also is packed…

I didn't stay in the house, but I went on a tour a few years back because I could not resist. I don't even really believe in supernatural stuff, but the house is the creepiest place I've ever been. They haven't changed much, and I think a lot of the furniture is original (save for the couch she killed her father on,…

UGH. Well I've been on this for a few months now and generally hate it (weight gain, weird cramps in my lady parts, and some other fun side effects) but it is so damn convenient. I have proven myself incapable of remembering to take pills on time, and no-way-no-how am I brave enough to get the IUD. Any suggestions on…

I nanny for a 9 year old who has just recently decided to be very vague about what she wants for birthday/Christmas gifts. This website just made my life so much easier! I had to send the link to her mom since I know she'll love all the empowering and encouraging stuff they have. So great!

Pretty much. He's sort of like the Westboro Baptist Church. I'm convinced he only spouts this stuff because it equals big bucks/attention for him. The only thing we accomplish by paying him any heed is encouraging the schoolyard bully.

Thank you. This is exactly how I feel. They look like little monsters, and I'd frankly be tempted to just dump all the candy in the trash after a display like that. Those shrieks make my ovaries recoil.

I'm so conflicted about this argument, and reading all these comments is only making it worse. It's impossible to argue with the logic that if you hit an adult, it's illegal, but somehow not for kids? My dad spanked me when I was little, but it was only ever after I had repeatedly done something (usually dangerous) I…

Oi, I nanny for a girl in elementary school. Her parents and I have recently realized this is a discussion that's going to have to happen soon since she's maturing so fast. I've been with her since she was tiny, and I feel like it was only last year that I was worried about how we'd teach her not to hit other people.…
