Hubs and I bought our $260,000 house in 2012 at the age of 29. Actual cash spent to get into the house? Around $9k :). Seller paid 1% toward closing costs and bought our appliances. You have to be pretty sure you're either going to be in the house awhile or the market will go up when you do a low down payment loan (we…

Don't ever make the mistake of peeping at Nicole Curtis' Facebook page. She's pretty conservative and has some Opinions! about things that I totally disagree with which damn near ruined the show for me. But Rehab Addict is my favorite. I wish there were more episodes. What are there, like 20? I've seen them all.

Hahahaha. I was just thinking that I didn't understand "Going Yard" when it was on this morning. I guess "going hard"?? But it doesn't! Make! Any! Sense!

When I was a latch-key kid in middle school, I used to come home and make "pizza" by putting a bunch of saltine crackers on a plate, covering it with tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella and throwing it in the microwave. The crackers got soggy and I ate it with a fork and even then I knew it was disgusting, but it was…

Yeah that's my pat answer too. "Oh your dog is nice? That's great for you! Mine is a jerk!" Ugh, final rant about this: If you are an owner who regularly lets your dog offleash, your dog is also susceptible to other "nice" dogs who are on-leash becoming aggressive. On leash dogs can have leash aggression and in my…

Oh god. As someone who is a digital marketing consultant, these things happen all the time (example: my client sent out a Spanish Language email yesterday to everyone in English-speaking countries thanks to single mistake in a filter...IS in country vs. IS NOT in country), but this is mortifying and I can't imagine…

Yeah my pup is King Asshole. I love him anyway but he doesn't play nice with others (Jack Russell / Italian Greyhound mix...you can imagine). I get super irked about this issue. People treat me like a bad dog owner when my dog freaks out at their off leash dog...we live in front of a park and there are always…

Also you don't know how OTHER animals will react to it. My dog is reactive as shit and hates other dogs. I keep him away from other dogs. When an offleash dog comes up to us, my dog freaks out and starts biting. I'm sorry, if your dog is off leash (which is illegal in my city) and runs up to my dog and my dog bites…

Lol. Truth.

Totally. That's why I kind of disliked it, overall.

Gotcha. So women with longer arms wear longer dresses....What a weird thing! But OK, that makes more sense than my interpretation of it.

Out of curiosity, what's a "fingertip" length dress? I've never heard that term before. Like, a finger tip's length from your...crotch? That seems pretty short (NOT THAT IT MATTERS) for a prom dress code, especially a homeschool prom dress code, but maybe I don't understand the term. Again, not saying the length of…

Ding ding ding.

Did this get linked on Gawker or something? Or do some trolls just sit around waiting for Jez to publish articles with the word "fat" in them? Because if I have to read "cushin for the pushin'" one more time....

That is a great gif.

No dice. I don't believe someone as awesome as Vanessa has trouble holding hands with nice guys. I really don't. I never did, and I'm far less conventionally attractive than she is, and far fatter. This reads more like an apology from Louis CK to fat girls than a rant that would come out of a fat girl's mouth (I say…

That's not Turkey in the Straw. I think that's a different version.

We have creepy ice cream vans in my neighborhood, not trucks. Just, like, white minivans. Sometimes they don't even have the pictures of ice cream on them and just have big letters that say ICE CREAM. It totally looks like a stereotypical molester van and/or the FBI. They still play that song though.

Ha! True that.

No no, I was referring only to the legally binding ceremony. You can have a *wedding* wherever, I guess, but to be legally married in France you have to have a civil ceremony and my understanding is (from info a few years ago) that American citizens can't have a civil ceremony in France. So no, they wouldn't prevent…
