I used to take AmTrak home from college on breaks all the time, and it was great. Then on the way home from Thanksgiving one year, our train hit and killed a woman who had fallen on the tracks. It was awful and even though I know it likely won't ever happen again, I always flew home after that.

When we were kids my brother caught a baby armadillo. We were so excited because we somehow assumed our parents would let us take it home with us and keep it as a pet. It was pretty devastating to have to take it back where he found it. (To be fair, our only other pet at the time was a turtle that my dad caught at the…

It's a little creepier when he fakes a laugh or a smile than when he fakes a sneeze. But the one that made me cry the other day was the one where he got a girlfriend, and downloaded programs to try to act like how boyfriends should act. And it didn't work and they broke up, and it reminded me of an episode from the…

I wound up quitting after one semester, actually. And right after the school year ended, they announced the school was shutting down permanently. But, if there is something in your life that is causing enough stress to make you unhealthy, and you can change it, then change it.

A lot of people have different symptoms, I think. I get attacks pretty regularly. I generally have a racing heart and my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. I also have a hard time breathing. I also can't stop sobbing. I can't shut my brain off and just have every bad thing in my life, or that could…

I was recently in a similar situation. I was teaching in a horrific school- think Dangerous Minds, but instead of the heartwarming montage where the kids opened up to me and we worked together, I just had kids stabbing each other in my classroom. The anxiety took away my appetite and I lost 25 pounds in 3 months,…

I've seen that, too. It doesn't help that I am a Christian. I also support gay marriage, women's rights, and minority rights, and don't believe in forcing my personal beliefs on anyone. But I never mention it on here because any posts will instantly be met with personal attacks on how stupid I am for believing what I…

I have never been in a club before, so I am automatically on board with that idea.

You and TsunamiNlue sound just like me. I was reading Jezebel for like a year, wanting to comment, before I made an account. Interacting with new people is hard! It didn't help that on one of my first comments I was attacked by one of those "I hate everyone with a different opinion than mine" people, so it took me…

I emailed them and they told me they couldn't fix it, I just had to make a new one. Boo.

I don't like it either, and agree that things seem harder to find. Also, the main page just looks worse now. It seems more cluttered and less organized. I also liked the site two formats ago, where the articles were scrolling down the side. It made it easier to fall down the rabbit hole and read articles for hours.

I'll check it out, thanks! Probably won't be allowed to post for awhile since I just started this account today and all my comments are on the screen name I was locked out of, but a girl can try. :)

I was with a guy for 2 years, then after we broke up we stayed makeout buddies for another 2 years. Just never seemed able to move on...so we were still best friends who made out, we just called ourselves single. Anyway, we just celebrated our one year wedding anniversary last month. So, I guess I am one of those…

I don't understand groupthink! Do you just post your own blog-entry kind of thing? Can anyone do it? I have always just posted comments on articles, but wondered how some commenters seem to know each other.

My account here always logs me in automatically. And when the site layout changed the other day, I somehow was logged out. Since I lost my burner key a long time ago, I had to just make a new account. Even though I wasn't ever a commenter that people followed or anything, it still bums me out. I just want to be part…

That's what makes me the most upset! He tries so so so hard and he is incredibly serious, and they just laugh as though he isn't facing an existential crisis! Jerks...

Yeah...to add to the "bitches be crazy when they bleed" stereotype, last night I broke down sobbing because I really, really, wanted cheesy bread and all the pizza places were closed for the night. And even though I knew it was irrational, I just couldn't stop. Oy.

I've wondered about women who say it isn't real, myself. As we speak, my husband is staring at me like I'm crazy because I am crying as we watch Star Trek. (Data just wants to be human BUT HE CAN"T! I can't be the only one who thinks that's upsetting.)

Good to know. Full disclosure: I'm a boring married lady, and we don't use condoms. So I honestly don't know a whole lot about how to put them on and what methods make it less safe. Like I said, I can see both sides to the issue and I'm not sure what I think about it, because there are some great points on both sides.

Reading all the comments, I can see both sides to this law. But one big plus in my mind would be seeing porn stars come up with sexy ways to put on a condom, leading to people wanting to try them out in real life, maybe? "Hey, I need you to wear a condom if we're gonna hook up." "No problem, baby, I have an idea for…
