As a young recently married couple who took in my husbands elderly grandmother, i'll be blunt. It's not easy, nor fun. But its worth it. You'll have an advantage over us as she will get older and more responsible, where his grandmother is becoming worse and worse off. We are currently at infant level care with her,…

I commend you for sacrificing your self interest for your sisters well being. What you did was amazing and I am confident that the impact that your actions have made on your sister's life will be immeasurable. I don't care what anyone says to the contrary, family should always look out for one another. You saw that…

I will be getting SS benefits for my grandchildren. My daughter passed away 5 months ago. We will not get TANF however, because we make over the limit. We will also deduct them on the taxes. To my surprise SS backdated the benefits even though I didin't apply until now. I tried to apply earlier but we had to wait…

If she has a deceased father there may be social security benefits available for her on the deceased father's social security account. Also you could apply for TANF benefits for her as the adult guardian. Additionally since you are providing for your sister you should deduct her on your taxes. Every dollar counts when…

Well done sister (or brother, don't want to assume)!

I would do the same thing. Family will always be family. The friend from the letter sounds like she doesn't want her friend to stop being able to hang out and go to the bars. She sounds selfish

Why the hell would you not take your sibling in? Tell the friend to butt out of relationship issues. You don't need advice from a woo-girl. If my sister was in foster care I wouldn't think twice about adopting her. I couldn't see her being with anyone else besides family. The friend sounds like a grade A certified c**t

Your story makes me so happy, and sad. And hopeful! You made the right decision and soon she will be on her own adult way, and you will have no regrets.

Obviously it's only your decision if you want to take in your husband's little sister but it seems like the absolutely right thing to do and if you decide to do it, I commend you for it. You are saving this girl from who knows what.

While I find Spike infinitely more entertaining, he did try to rape her. Then again, Angel turned evil after taking her virginity. Gods such bad luck, Buffster.

You are epic. I wish Gawker's group of websites would employ people like you. These sites often leave out so much information or lack any sort of digging for context and critical thinking. By the way, The Blaze is Glenn Beck's "news" site. Cheers. :)

For some reason I can't edit my post above, so...

There's something fishy about how this story is written.

Why?

Since we're on the topic of menstruation, I saw these on Tumblr last night and thought they were the best thing ever. I've got no money for random spending right now but I'm so tempted to donate so I can get a pair.

Hey, lookit this other video of Dawn!111!!!

I didn't say it was easy to overcome.

I'm on the Hydra Diet. Unfortunately, for each pound I lose, I grow two more in its place.

I'm a veterinary technician, and often assist in surgery. A lot of dogs are attracted to used tampons thrown in the trash, and many will actually eat them, become blocked, and need surgery to remove the tampon. Unfortunately, it's a pretty common. The smell of a rotten, bloody, half digested tampon is by far the…

I thought they were pretty good, nothing amazingly groundbreaking, but fine ... However, I've seen some rumblings on Tumblr about how "racist" their jokes were. Therefore, I predict that within a day or two, Jezebel will be backtracking and writing about how "problematic" Tina and Amy were, despite initially raving…
