Laziness is a factor, sure. My wife and I often are coming home late (7-9pm) and simply don’t want to grocery shop that late at night. Weekends we often don’t go out, and getting ready, leaving just to go grocery shopping, then having to come home and unpack it will eat up half the day.

My culinary life has been much improved by marrying into this family and I want to learn so my daughter can learn too!

When my SO took me home to El Paso/Juarez to meet the family, he told them I am white. So they very considerately stocked up on gringa food for me. It was like three days of me looking longingly at their chilaquiles at the breakfast table while I politely ate oatmeal or a toasted bagel before I finally said “you don’t…

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

“It’s not a bra, it’s a bustiiayyyyyy!” is a phrase I exclaim on the regular.

The doodle is so delightful. During homeroom this morning, I started playing it and forgot to turn down the volume. Several 16-year-olds immediately began singing along to “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom”, and one of them could tell the whole story of her death. And this was over a thousand miles away from Corpus Christi. I was in…

Selena de por vida.

We had to end up calling the police. At around 1 am it got real bad. Some girl vomited over the fence into our yard and the boys started urinating in our bushes. They went into the woods behind our house and started breaking bottles and ripping apart trees. My husband called the police and they shut it down, but the…

Thanks. My cat just came back so I’m thankful for that.

In our county we can’t make a complaint until it it is after 11:00 pm and the source of the noise is less than 50 feet away. So we are at a loss as their house is about 70 feet away. Worst of all they set off a mess of fireworks about an hour ago and my sweet barn buddy cat got scared and we can’t find her.

Oh my gawd I want a Jezebel romance!!!!

Brag thread! What did you do recently that you’re super proud of? I made this cake for Easter which was the first one I didn’t fuck up in the layer cutting process (finally learned to freeze). Plus I got a spinny cake stand so I could get my icing (a little) smoother. I’ve still got more practice to go, but this is…

Big Foot’s evaluation went fairly smoothly-although she is not thrilled that he is mentioned PTSD, but he was aware of her reservations there and is willing to let her either come to that realization on her own or not- it’s not going to change how her therapy will go. Besides, it is actually the third in the list of…

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

No doubt one of the many benefits of diamond gonads.

If it makes you feel better, most people don’t post any shitty aspects of their lives on Facebook. They’ll gush endlessly about how their toddler learned to use the potty, but they sure as hell won’t talk about how that same toddler screamed for 30 minutes in the grocery store. That’s why I always try to post really…

I eloped yesterday! It was small and quick as hell and awesome.

Any words of encouragement would be really appreciated!

Good luck! I love exploring new cities.

My BIL died last night. I sent him a private message on facebook asking how he was, he told me he wasn’t having a good day and his neighbour had called either the hospital or ambulance; he wasn’t sure which. We chatted for a while, then he said had to go because a nurse was at the door. His neighbour let the nurse in…
