I gagged at the idea of having my father walk me down the aisle, or having them say, “Who gives this woman in marriage?” as if I was property, so I never would have allowed it, no matter whom in the family pestered me to do it out of “tradition” or “sweetness”. (We ended up eloping and no one was invited, so it didn’t…

So how do they prove the guy’s virginity then?

My husband and I make a point of thanking the other one for cooking or doing other things because it feels good to be acknowledged and have your efforts recognized even for random everyday crap.

He wants to go home every weekend to play with his kids and so his wife doesn’t yell at him, but watch Obama take a week’s vacation to spend with the family and they’ll all scream that all he does is golf and go on vacation to Hawaii. Ug.

Texas and Florida can secede, but only if they take Kansas with them. I’m sorry, but no one wants to clean up the mess that is Kansas now.

I believe that citizenship by birthright should he finished. It does not apply anymore. Outdated and dangerous.

Oh goodie! Since we’re just rewriting the constitution as we see fit, let’s start taking everyone’s guns! They’re dangerous, too, you know.

I would shop at Target MORE OFTEN if they played porn over the intercom. Not because I’m totally into listening to porn, but because it would be hilarious.

Interesting topic! Years ago during college, I lived in a cold, wintery climate and started using carmex and I often wondered if it was meant to be addicting because I had to re-apply it all the time. It felt good when applied, but the feeling didn’t last that long. Friends made fun of me for my “addiction” and stole…

Good article! It opened my eyes to something I hadn’t ever thought about!

Seems I’m a very good height to fit most kitchens, and this could explain, in part, why I’ve actually enjoy cooking and baking more than other people. It’s all so easy for me because I happen to be the “right” height for most kitchens. I never…

When I was a teenager, my older, very conservative sisters used to give me crap about any books I read or shows I watched. Sweet Valley High and Buffy the Vampire Slayer were high on their critical list. (I was actually in my 20s when I watched Buffy, but they still acted like it was evil and unchristian).

Fast forward…

Last week at a local middle school, a 13 year old boy threatened to rape an 11 year old girl. I don’t know all the details, but whatever mild punishment he got had a lot of parents furious

All I could think was, since when do 13 year old boys make those kinds of threats, and since when are 11 year old girls that unsafe…

Pepto-pink is the worst color to splash everywhere in a beautiful month like October where everything is supposed to be warm, autumnal colors! PLEASE what do I have to do to move Breast Cancer Awareness to February where it belongs, or January, or somewhere else where pink isn’t so damned offensive?

She addresses her issues and says that Rosie exaggerated them in an attempt to embarrass her

Oh, lord. I meant bake. Typo. I type too fast and don’t proofread well.

I find this map kind of fascinating. I grew up in a deep, deep blue area where everyone called it “pop” but when I moved away as an adult (not to any yellow areas of the map), I seemed to be surrounded by people who called it “soda” and thought calling it “pop” was childish. Thus I was teased until I started calling…

The frustrating thing about our society is that on one hand most people claim that cheating is bad, but on the other hand, we all just sort of except it, like gun violence. A big shrug of, “Oh well, what are you going to do?”

And then there are the voices that just keep proclaiming that monogomy is unnatural and it’s…

Can’t the guy born with two penises just donate one to him? Everyone wins!!

Then you (general you) either a) talk to your partner and let them know that since your sexual relationship is over you’ll seek sex elsewhere or B) you tell your spouse you aren’t happy in this marriage and move on. You can remain friends, but find someone you don’t feel the need to cheat on.

Seriously, it’s never…

I know the “old” tradition was to pass your dress on to your daughters, but it doesn’t work that well anymore. Lots of bitter divorces, young women wanting to pick out their OWN dress, and size-issues.

A couple of my sisters held on to their dresses hoping their daughters would wear them but... the younger generation…

It was a joking question, not a serious alternative. Calm down.
