I’m still pretty paranoid about getting doxxed on Kinja, but whatever. It’s at least harder to tell who I am than if I was just tweeting or facebooking or whatever under my real name.

There’s only one Taco in my book ...

That sounds delicious! And like a lovely vacation. :) Have fun!

I work at a hospital and for a potluck, one lady brought in for tuna macaroni salad. It was basically elbow macaroni, canned tuna, chopped hardboiled eggs, some relish and mayo to bind it altogether. And she brought Ritz crackers to eat it on.

Are they expecting the end of days?

That song is PERFECT in every way. I think that’s what I would have picked too for father-daughter dance, but it was played at my cousin’s funeral (he died young). Somehow the song was perfect for that, too. It’s just the best song.

“Then I decided that the best revenge is living well”

That is an extremely decent thing you did. Even if it was a small thing, your niece now knows that you respect her boundaries. My own journey actually started when my mom posted a picture of me that I disliked and wouldn’t take it down because she thought I was oh so purdy in it. I decided I never wanted to put Bubs…

Shaking hands is ridiculous and outdated. I purposely fail to perform them adequately in hopes people will get the hint that no I don’t want to touch their hands. I also refuse to fist bump and only high five people I’m relatively close to.

Li’l Bubs is almost a year old and I have never posted a single thing about him on social media publicly. No one besides my boyfriend and my dad (literally because he doesn’t have social media and wouldn’t post pictures online) were allowed to photograph my bump, I didn’t announce the birth or the pregnancy. The only…

It’s too much! Last week I received an invite to a gender reveal party for a couple’s 4th baby. FOURTH! I love them, but who really cares at this point? Just have a baby. I will buy diapers for a boy/girl/shark/tamale. Tell me when that happens but do not require me to spend an extra Saturday at the Regal Beagle…

“I decided that the best revenge is living well.”

Now, what happened to Ann? Bet she’d have some corrections too.

This is why we need to teach critical thinking skills in schools.

I had the honor of taking a class with him when I was in college. He carried himself with such quiet grace that those few weeks have stayed with me a long time. It could have just been a little throw-away course (it was just three weeks in Florida for him), but he took it, and all of us, so seriously. We disagreed on…

I actually went to HR before I left with emails showing some of the harassment that was happening. They seemed sympathetic and said I wasn’t the first person who had complained (I was far from the only person to have problems with our management), but nothing happened.

From a previous job, I can tell you that undergrads and graduate students can be just as ridiculous. My favorite was a student who asked for “security footage from the assassination of Abraham Lincoln” (yes, we double checked with him a few times, it’s what he wanted). We politely suggested some other information…

Ha! That is so true! I just got into the world of podcasts and am listening obsessively to catch up to present day with them. It is all Squarespace and audible.com. I think I am too far back for the casper mattress.

While they don’t usually shout-out puppia harnesses, a lot of them do wear them. Cats who camp wear them too, so if a cat is willing to wear it, it must be the shit!
