Every therapist, psychologist and psychiatrist I've seen since turning sixteen has advised me to limit contact with my family. I always thought that things might change, since sometimes there would be good patches. It just always returns to the same dynamic of being the worthless family member who they all happily…

YES. THIS IS A THING THAT HAPPENS.

What I never understood is how those "sanitary liners" are sanitary if they are never changed (bc you know they aren't) in between different customer try-ons.

I used to work retail. We frequently accepted underwear that had been returned to the store. None of the mangers were willing to deal with the backlash of telling a customer that their underwear looked used. Officially the store procedure was "zero it out" accept the return and either throw it away, or throw it in the…

My worst Christmas memory also includes my grandmother...the very last one she was alive for. My father and I drove through a blizzard to pick her up and bring her to our house as she had cried that she couldn't be alone on Christmas. We get back to our house and are opening presents. I hand her one and as she takes…

I have a goodie! Three years ago, my grandmother on my mom's side decided since my sister and I didn't have children, she wasn't speaking to us. Mind you, I was 24 and my sister was 21. Both very single.

And on second thought, check the ETA courtesy of the ever-observant chattygal who I think has it figured out.

"What was it like, raising these two?"
"It has not been easy." and then later, "I know we have to take responsibility for them."

I'm ROLLING.

She's so embarrassed by those two. That's the glorious part of all this. You can just picture her sitting there watching this, afraid the neighbors are all seeing her children duke…

I wish every single pundit/politician on earth lived in fear of their mom calling them publicly on their shit.

Well, I give them points for making this all work for their group. Bollinger and Columber simply cannot win and hoping the problem will disappear when these kids graduate ain't going to do it.

I don't know about other people, I personally should not care. There is nothing wrong with someone in college using Tinder from what I've heard it's really popular in college towns. Actual dating through Tinder is possible, but I doubt it's the norm because Tinder does not offer a lot of details on potential match.

I won an "Ugly Holiday Sweater" contest at work this week with this sweater.

I'm sitting here with a cold, watching Goldfinger with my dad. Some thoughts:

Oh! My favorite Xmas cocktail* is 1/3 Kahlua, 1/3 Peppermint Schnapps, 1/3 bourbon. I found the recipe in a newspaper but the name was lame, then my mom suggested I call it a "Santa's Lap." I love my mom.

I want this so bad right now. And glögg. So so so so much glögg. If you're interested in glögg make sure to use Akvavit (or vodka if you must) AND brandy in your recipe. You won't be disappointed.

I looked that up on YouTube and was not disappointed. This is honestly about the extent of my WWE knowledge, though:

Logically I know that my value is in my integrity, compassion, brains, etc.... But damn if I don't want to try to join just to see how many people think I'm worthy. Sigh.

There's a huge level of narcissism involved in believing that if you actually contact a ghost said ghost will really be interested in your life or your problems or want to talk to you at all. Anyway, everyone knows that what you actually contact with Ouija boards are demons and they will totally wreak havoc on your…

OK, I would like to see this movie.

So, while we're fangirling out about what took place inside the Barclay's center, just going to stick this here.
