I was out with a cute co-worker I had had my eye on for some time and ended up bringing him home to my place. We piled out of the cab at my place, he puked on my neighbour’s fence, and once I got him inside my condo he disappeared into the bathroom and passed out. He said later that he woke up in the morning on my…

I don’t do it often for my current dogs but I gave it a shot with my last dog. Cook in bulk (like, huge bulk batches) when you can and freeze it in portions of 2-3 days meals. I am lucky to have lots of game meat around, but I became very good friends with the local butcher and he would put aside stuff like tripe and…

I’ve had migraines since I was 6, and after 20-something years of seeing every specialist imaginable (mutliple GP’s, neurologists, internists, allergists, ENT, even had my jaw surgically broken to reset it by just a few millimeters to see if that helped), I pretty much cured them by cutting out dairy. I randomly came…

I have been doing kettlebell for about 4 years now, and recently fell in love with kettlebell sport (in short, picking a lift and competing in 10-minute events. It’s intense!). I love that I get a great full-body workout with such a simple piece of equipment, and though it’s something completely random that no one has…

Yikes!! I woke up with something similar last weekend (the morning of my only 2 days off in a 2-week stretch of realllly long 12.5hr shifts, of course). It’s still a little tender, but it always seems for me to be a knot behind my shoulder blade, and not something actually in my neck. Foam rolling, heat and gentle…

Interesting, thank you! I’ve noticed a documentary on sleep paralysis on Netflix but I have been too afraid to watch it. It almost seems like every dream I become more aware of what is happening and making louder noises to wake myself up. I just realized too that I only have those dreams when my husband is working…

I’m so sorry. They can leave such a huge hole in your heart. My dog passed away 4 years ago, and the other day I could teary because I found the disemboweled skin of her favourite hedgehog toy. It’s okay to grieve *hugs*

Oooh, am I too late to this? I have a recurring dream where I wake up and there is someone in my apartment, just outside my bedroom door. He is coming towards me but it is dark so I can’t see who it is. I try to scream or move but I am paralyzed—I often wake myself up moaning and thrashing around. The last one I had,…

I was going through wedding pictures tonight and found this one. I love how they are paying attention to the ceremony!

I am so sorry :( I lost my last dog, a beautiful German Shepherd who had discoid lupus, when she was only 6. It never feels long enough. That dog was my heart. She had been with me through all sorts of shit, and for a long time it was just me and her against the world. I even dumped a guy because he didn’t get how…

This is kind of difficult to explain, so I will try my best!

Beautiful!!

I had my parents at my wedding, but I have a very strained relationship with my dad and I decided that I didn’t want him to walk me down the beach at the ceremony (very small semi-elopement, immediate family only) and since we basically threw a big party rather than a formal reception there was no father/daughter…

This makes me feel really nostalgic! We don’t do marching bands here, but I did concert/jazz/theatre bands and was always supremely jealous of marching bands—it looks like so much fun! I played pretty much the entire brass section.

I also played euphonium, only chick in the brass section!

My husband and I skipped all of that too. We basically eloped (just immediate family and our photographers) then threw a huge reception. There was tons of food, booze, and the house band from our favourite bar. No speeches, first dances of any sort, and no bouquet/garter toss. I’m a little biased in saying it’s the…

I was a bridesmaid this past weekend, and that was the father-daughter dance... I kept looking around to see if anyone else thought it was as creepy as I did!! Good to know I’m not the only one :)

Nope. I did a year and a half of a Bachelor of Music program before deciding I hated it and dropped out. I found a career path that I love, with some training through a local emergency services institute and more (lots more!) training on the job, and I’ve never looked back. I make a decent income, I have incredible…

So happy to see this posted today: http://www.baileys.com/en-us/baileys-…

Yes yes! I am always so nervous about getting pregnant, even though I’m on bc and it’s obviously worked well for me so far. My husband and I don’t want kids, and after YEARS of asking my primary care physician about having my tubes tied and always getting denied (which is kind of odd, since she is a younger woman and…
