Now think about how much wine you drink relative to water.

HOW IS BABBY FORMED? HOW GIRL GET PREGNANT?

Okay. It's long!

The "caught" part: He had asked me to grab his phone and take it to him at work, since he'd forgotten it. It was on my way to my job so of course I did it. I grabbed it and at some point needed the time or something so I clicked it open (pre-password days) and saw a winky-face text from number with a…

My mom was trying to get back in shape after her 4th kid by walking around the neighborhood. She repeatedly saw the same woman walking at the same time as her and so they eventually started up a conversation and became walking buddies. They both talked about their husband and boyfriend, thinking nothing of them…

There are a very small number of kids who actually do "regress" in that they lose their speech after about age 2. It's confusing and terrifying for parents. No one knows why this happens. But with the vast majority of autistic kids, they were always autistic, it's just hard to identify in infancy unless you are an…

I am honestly so fucking sick of everyone acting like Autism is the ultimate evil. It is a (usually) fairly mild neurodevelopmental disorder. I realize that it isnt always easy, but that doesnt mean that people within the autism spectrem arent still people and are plenty able to go living happy, functional lives. It…

Jaden Smith was having a bad day, I see.

i had several conversations about the situation. i am handling it rather well, and continue to be a complete 1d apologist.

Being deaf is a disability. Disabled people have a much higher rate of being abused, particularly by 'caretakers', and a very low rate of being rescued or saved from abuse, especially if the abuse is by 'caretakers'.

Disabled people are at above average risk of being murdered by family members/loved ones. You know, to put them out of their misery. Mercy killing. So it's very relevant. (Though this may not be a "mercy killing".)

I was at Fred Meyer one Saturday afternoon, on a holiday weekend, so the place was mobbed - and for some reason management had put this poor brand-new employee on the register. The woman in front of me decides to pay for her groceries with a check, which of course she doesn't even start pulling out of her purse until…

That sucks about the possible Crohn's disease link, but I'm actually (relatively) happy to see the rise in autoimmune diseases mentioned here, and the fact that so many sufferers (I think 70%, last I checked) are women. I have an autoimmune disease and know many, many people who are young or youngish like me (early…

"One was for a restaurant in Santa Fe I never patronized. I'd heard it was fabulous, but then read that they banned patrons who wear perfume. Perfume has been and will always be one of my splurges and I don't leave home without a little Guerlain, Cartier or Molyneux. I called them to ask if the perfume ban could…

So at this place, everything tastes like ham?

We'll go together! I have a similar issue and need to keep my sodium up too. I have to keep reminding my husband about it because in his house growing up sodium was the devil.

Could Your Food Have Calories? The Answer May Surprise You....

I deeply apologize for besmirching the good name of fucking, waffles, and fucking waffles.

Off topic, kinda. I used to work in a lab drawing blood. It was summer and the AC wasn't working properly. We were all slightly crabby and drenched in sweat. One day this fellow comes in and as I'm wrapping the elastic band around his are, I comment on his name—Robert E. Lee. He must have assumed my accent made me a…

Timely. I've just written snarky replies to two well-over-my-age-limit men who figured they should be the ones to let me know that after reading my profile they're sure I'll never find a man. And my reply was "that's fine - I'd rather be alone than settle for some entitled old guy who'll talk down to me at the same…

Eh, if the collective internet decided to tell me what a bitch I was for having standards and how I was going to die alone, I'd gloat too. Not in an, "I won a man" way, more like, "fuck your opinions that turned out to be wrong." There is seriously nothing wrong with having qualities that you want your partner to and…
