What’s everyone cooking/baking? I used to make a lot of bread, it was my hobby, but for whatever reason it really fell off last year. This is my first bread of the year, sesame semolina. Although I had less sesame seeds than I thought, so it’s half sesame, half millet.

As a puke phobic, I make it my business to know things, and one thing is that noro can be passed on for days after the symptoms have abated. Not to say your mom’s cousin isn’t an idiot of course. (Interestingly, I worked in animal hospitals for 15 years and saw lots of dog and cat puke, poop and pus - it’s people who…

I don’t know if this is disastrous so much as...bizarre. But when I was 20 I spent a year abroad in Germany. Unlike the rest of my cohort save one, my friend we will call Lana, I didn’t have the money to fly back to the US for the holidays and so I resigned myself to spending Christmas in Germany alone. Now Christmas…

One of my earliest memories is of Christmas. I was around 2 and at a family Christmas party. My dad noticed I had a weird look on my face. He asked what was the matter and picked me up. I rested my head on his shoulder and proceeded to vomit down his back.

let’s see if somebody has the mercy to pull me out of the grays.

Hi Jezzies, I want to thank a lot of you for all of your advice and offers of help last week, it has meant so much to me. I have found a cat sitter for Ollie and Can spend Xmas with family. Those of you who have seen me comment for the part 16 months know what a hell it has been for me. I attempted suicide and became…

Did Joe talk over Mika’s part of the vows?

Happy Thanksgiving from California everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day filled with good food and quality time with loved ones!

(Sorry, no pictures - trying to share the fuzziness is making Chrome crash.)

First, Introvert Recharge is a real thing, and you need to have a whole website dedicated to it.

Shelter Update!

SJP is totally right here - people are overly critical of imperfect (and even anti-heroine) female characters in a way they would never be with male character (and real women in life TBH). SJP’s Carrie Bradshaw, who did unlikable things, was groundbreaking and really did open up new possibilities for female characters…

As a 5'6" gal, I always fucking hated having to tippy-toe and crane my neck for a smooch.  I have a my-size man now and I love it!

So if someone gets chlamydia and it takes months to develop, would that be called a...*puts on sunglasses*...slow clap?

Im sorry your coworker sucks :(

I just wanted to say thank you to all you kind internet strangers. 2 years ago I posted on here about my relationship crumbling and feeling like I was losing myself. I was a stay at home mom and my ex had preferred to keep it that way. Lived with him and his mom who i just didn’t get along with. My anxiety was through…

I only came across The Toast a few months before the end, and I deeply regret all the years it couldve been part of my life.
