I saw my grandmother’s birth certificate, and both her parents had the same unusual last name.Her parents were first cousins, and she was one of the craziest people I’ve ever met. My mother - crazy also, I’m a little less so, so the gene pool enlargement seems to be helping. Still, I like to use my grandmother’s…

Add to that possible elevated triglycerides. There appears to be a link between intraabdominal fat and elevated triglyceride levels. So, if you're getting a beer belly, get your lipids checked, and if they're elevated, take the meds you are prescribed.

Trying again to post a pic of the worst mother in the world, Shirley Peck:

Ooh let’s out them: here’s a picture of my narcissistic awful mother, Shirley Peck:

Thanks for this. I’ve had people say that to me countless times “but she’s your MOTHER, of course she loves you”. No, in fact she doesn’t. It’s so so hard to know my mother doesn’t love me, and then on top of that feel like I’m wrong for knowing in my heart that she doesn’t give a shit about me.

Beautiful. I need to paint that sentence on my ceiling to wake up to every day. Thanks.

That's horrible. But I'm confused. I wish my mother a painful long-lasting death. Why do you feel bad?

Me either. My wonderful dad died ten years ago, while my awful mother will probably outlive me. I tell people the wrong parent died, and they think I'm crazy.

You're fine. This conversation is for those of us who had mothers that were so horribly awful that they can't see themselves in this article. It's kind of like that saying about how crazy people don't know they're crazy: truly abusive/awful moms don't know they're abusive/awful. Kudos to you for being the best mom you…

Wow this is a popular post. I thought I was the only one with a mother so toxic I've tried to kill myself numerous times. OK, back to reading all these sad stories.

What about people who wash their dishes before putting them in the dishwasher? Instructions for them say just to scrape the dishes.

Wait, what? Can you translate that?

Well this answers the question of whether or not she birthed a baby. Nope, she didn't.

Thanks. I have Aspergers and usually don’t “get” written sarcasm. In person I can usually tell though. I guess I need to heed my hackles and know that means sarcasm.

Are you serious? I'm no music junkie, but you're missing quite a few names, and including Lenny...I can't even :(

Or maybe gospel?

Déjà vu...the one time I went to New Orleans Jazz Fest, Lenny Kravitz was on the main stage. That was in the mid nineties and I’d barely heard of him then. His act then did not impress.

I was already concerned about both your cooking experience (PROPER guacamole has to have blah blah GRAPE tomatoes???) and your taste buds. This comment proves it. Cilantro should be eaten fresh, not cooked.

You're close, but I think it's the other way around. If she were facing him and he was doin the nasty, then his beard would be in the perfect position to acquire anal microbes.

My scientific inquiry of two years has led to the conclusion that ALL middle-aged penii are sad.
