This is one of my favorites. And now it’s in the trailer for A Wrinkle In Time.

As soon as I was logged out and had to log back in, I checked permissions and they have them again. So it apparently doesn’t “stick.”

Yesss. The Kingsmoot. Excruciating is right.

When I’m venting about something, usually my mother, to my husband, I really just want him to be on my side. I want him to be as outraged by her behavior as I am. Just listening calmly doesn’t validate my anger or hurt feelings. Also, he will often try to interject humor in order to “lighten the mood”, but that's the

I typically read in bed at night as a way to relax and help myself get to sleep (I have trouble getting to and staying asleep) as part of my nightly ritual. As much as I love reading while comfy and warm in bed, there are some times when my mind wanders all over the place. I just can’t seem to focus and end up having

10 grains or grams? Both are mentioned in the article.

I get exactly where you’re coming from on this. I’ve learned the same thing, but different subjects. Friends would come to and ask for advice on anything from their relationship to what they should do with their lives. I used to be happy diving in and helping them decide wether or not they should go back to school,

I make up little treat bags that have things like stickers, self-inking stamps, handmade notebooks, mini pencils, mini erasers, bookmarks, glow in the dark bouncy balls, etc. Kids get enough candy on Halloween.

God, I thought I was the only one who ever felt this way. I can’t count the number of times I’ve just been talking to someone in line at the grocery store and thought “I really like them... I wish we could be friends” and then stewed over it because I felt like a freak.

Wow, this article struck home in a big way. I moved to the Puget Sound area with my husband 7 years ago and we’ve lived in Tacoma, WA for the past 5 years. I still don’t have any even semi-close friends. Only acquaintances and all of them have been through my husband’s workplace. I’ve run into many of the issues

Thing is, to appeal to meat-lovers, it helps to avoid the term “vegetarian.” People seem to balk at that term if they really love meat, not realizing that A LOT of their favorite dishes are already meatless by nature. Macaroni and cheese, cheese lasagna, cheese enchiladas, etc. But you point out that you’re having a

My last dentist told me to brush side to side, then flip the toothbrush up. So similar to the video, just without the circular motion. My biggest problem area is the back of the wisdom teeth. I have a small mouth and my teeth are super tight, so there’s no room for the brush back there even with a compact brush.

Sadly, a lot of it is just genetics. Or so several dentists have told me. The biggest issue, however, is gums. Good gums are more important than teeth according to them.

That’s certainly not true. If you have a previously agreed upon chore list - such as it’s person B’s responsibility to take out the trash, yet the trash is overflowing, why should person A do it herself? That just tells Person B that they can shirk any responsibility they have and someone else will clean up after

Dude, I totally support this. As a woman married to a man who has Adult ADHD, it’s not nagging - it’s constantly reminding him to do something he keeps forgetting to do, sometimes for weeks. Fact is, if I DON’T keep “nagging” him, it’ll never get done because he’s not a person who values things like a clean house, a

I kind of agree with you, but also realize that this specific article is about stubbornness, not about the other possible reasons as someone pointed out. I don’t think every scenario is a result of stubbornness. For me, personally, some of my issues might be because of that, but I also have other things going on that

People don’t seem to understand that not all calories are created equally. Our food today is much less nutritive than it was back then. The calories we eat now are completely different. We may take in the same amount of carbs, for instance, but if those carbs are all simple sugars, our bodies treat them differently

This article resonated with me. I have been caught in the image of an ideal life for so long, I don’t even know what my reality is anymore. I have a vision of what I wish my life were like, but I just can’t seem to make it work for me. I want to be an early(ier) riser who gets up, feels energized, works out, then

Yeah, I’m sick of hearing some of these myths. Even people who supposedly know what they’re talking about swear by them - such as searing meat or not eating after a set time. I typically don’t even get to sleep until 4 or 5am, so if I stopped eating at 7pm, I’d be starving by the time I went to bed. I’d be skipping

I read the original article and as many people pointed out, pasteurized milk doesn’t sour, it putrefies. Only raw milk will sour and not many people can even get that anymore. Any milk sold at the grocery store is pasteurized. So I’m confused by this advice.
