That’s what I use to keep the neighborhood cats from digging up my flower beds. Plus, I get the benefit of severely weirding out my neighbors when they see me dumping pepper on the freshly-turned dirt.

Yeah, my immediate thought was that it looks like a fried egg with bits of pepper stuck to it. And that thing on the plate looks kind of like a bread pudding of some sort? 

I started reading, got to the line where the first poster described herself as “a toe headed little girl” and was completely thrown out of the story entirely because I cannot picture anything but a toe wearing kid’s clothing.

I mean, I guess that’s scary, but.....

If she barely knew Andrea and had no reason to mention her, it’s pretty clearly a “psychic” doing a cold reading and grabbing at straws.

That story is beautiful and I thank you for sharing it. XD

.................what kind of drugs was she getting from her LASIK clinic...? All I got was one Xanax and I definitely wasn’t anything approaching “heavily drugged” from it.

I kind of wish I were one of those innocent souls who aren’t familiar with ahegao face. That I hadn’t seen a bunch of dudes at cons wearing entire suits made of fabric printed with hentai manga panels. What must that be like....

That dress is bland as hell and the pose makes her look like she has to pee. I’ve never heard of her before but this photo is making me a lot more interested in that building behind her, so unless she’s trying to influence real estate, fail.

They called ours a “Maturation Clinic” invited mothers to attend as well (though I don’t remember a lot of them showing up). As I recall it was sponsored by a tampon manufacturer and we were given a small sample pack along with the booklet - though the booklet was so old that it still mentioned the old-style pads with…

Exactly. My mother constantly telling us what an awful person my father was and blaming all of our financial difficulties on him (which may or may not have been deserved, I honestly have no idea) definitely contributed to the distance between us when we were younger, and had the added bonus of making us upset at our…

And, finally, never talk about what an asshole the other parent is in front of your kids.

I don’t think I will ever understand why someone would pay $2k to look like they wrapped a large pink towel around themselves.

Charleston Chew were always my absolute favorite to freeze. Freeze it, then break it on the counter before unwrapping, and eat the little pieces.

Also not candy, but pretty much every Hostess cake is improved when frozen. (Note that I said cake there, I wouldn’t try freezing the apple pies or something.)

I still think this was the best cosplay at Dragon Con this year.

I very highly recommend The Magnus Archives. I’m not usually one for horror, but from the first episode I was absolutely hooked. The storytelling is excellent and the voice acting even more so, and the audio quality is superb - I tend to be really picky but their editing is super good and includes little audio cues…

The box, available in three fun colors, contains five compartments portioned specifically for tots, and it’s leaf-proof, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe.

As I said to another commenter, I'm not talking about the actual sensation of pain, but rather how dramatic men will be about their "suffering". Around other guys, yes, definitely, it's all Stoic and Unfeeling, but around their close friends/relatives/significant others, I've definitely seen a lot of Woe Is Me.

Some people have cramps all the time, for one thing. Or other disorders of the reproductive system, of which there are many and none have been well studied so women get shrugged off by doctors. Or headaches - I don’t know if I just know an unusual group of women, but most of us get migraines. Or fibromyalgia, it's…
