My two have matching Vancouver Canucks ugly sweaters.

My online dating history mostly amounted to entertaining stories to tell my girlfriends over a bottle of wine. Some crazy, some creepy, but mostly just guys I did not click with at all.

That is awesome! I recently had surgery and my husband was also seriously amazing at taking care of me and everything around the house.

I had tubal ligation surgery last week... I was so bored being stuck on the couch for the first three days!

Thank you for asking this question! I’m 35, husband and I don’t want kids and he’s been slow to schedule a vasectomy, so I went ahead and asked my gyno about tubal ligation. Just waiting for a surgery date now. I’m also a little nervous about the discomfort and inconvenience, but I also figure that I’m far more…

Coming from someone who married a coworker, I would wait a couple of weeks and then see if he’s up for something low-key like an after work drink. He truly could be just busy at his new job, but if he doesn’t jump at the chance to hang out with you in a couple of weeks I would back off. Good luck!

In my experience, your mom is correct—I first met my now-husband almost 15 years ago in paramedic school. I thought he was cute but he wasn’t my “type,” and he felt the same way. Fast-forward 10 years, I’ve been engaged and split with my ex, and he’s been married and divorced. We’re very different people now than we…

Decide what’s important to you and focus on those! We got married last April, did a weekend away with close family in Tofino, B.C.; we got married on the beach and rented the common room of the lodge we were staying at for dinner and hanging out afterwards. Super casual; since there were just 23 people we BBQ’d steaks…

Ooooh yes I loved Firestarter.

The Stand is by far my favourite book. It’s become my go-to book to read while traveling—those long flights and train rides go by so quickly when I’m absorbed in that book. Of his more recent stuff, 11/22/63 was very good, but I always go back to the classics. I’m working my way through the Dark Tower series right now…

Go you! I am one of those people that needs to sign up for events to keep me motivated to train, and a destination run has always been on my list. Do it! I am a suuuper slow runner but have done 6 half-marathons and more 10K’s and trail runs than I can count, and I always get swept up in the race environment and…

I want to squeeze his furry little cheeks!! What a cutie.

Hooray!! That is all such fantastic news. Last week my gyno told me that all my cancerous cervical cells appeared to have been removed after multiple leep procedures, and I almost felt like passing out from relief.

Congrats! My husband and I got married last April. There are already tons of great points here, so I will just share a couple of things that work for us. It’s great to spend time apart (we both work shift-work so each of us have two days/two nights at home alone) but when you’re together, be present and ensure that…

Exactly! My husband hunts and as long as it’s something we’re going to eat or legal predator control, I have no problem with it. In fact, I have a moose lasagne in the oven right now.

On behalf of other emergency workers (I too am working today), I thank you for your work.

Fuck that guy. “Ladies aren’t built...” no. Just no. I probably would have bowled him over with my bag of dog food.

The other day I shared a Facebook memory of pictures of my dog when she was still in a foster home in Taiwan, and her doggy foster Mom sent me more previously unseen puppy pictures of her! Then my other dog’s Taiwan foster Mom sent pics of our other dog when she was first rescued. The cuteness!!!

ha ha! I love the confused look. Our other dog does that—just turns and looks at her butt, confused. She’ll often do the quick exit too, so we don’t even realize what has happened until Sita quickly trots out of the room! I hate seeing Bella upset by something (especially when she has SO many fears) but at the same…

haha, we have “Chastity Bella.”
