I get so frustrated at people thinking that pills are always bad and it should always be our goal to get off of them. Prozac changed my life for a brief period in high school when I was allowed to take it. Maybe I wouldn’t have needed it quite so badly when I was desperately sick with anorexia (I know different things…

I hate to be one of those ‘have you tried...’ people when I’m sure you’ve tried everything, but as a person who is afraid of bugs, catnip has changed my life. I make a tea out of it and put it in a spray bottle and spray around the baseboards and this has kept me almost entirely bug free both in the US and in West…

I have a hard time with organizing and cleaning so when I had some time off work for an injury I hired a professional organizer to come in for two sessions of like four hours each. Not only did she help me get rid of a lot of stuff and organize my stuff into nice looking storage, she also advised me on how to keep it…

I hired a professional organizer for a few sessions and she helped me get rid of a bunch of stuff but also taught me how to keep it that way (which is pretty much how you outlined it above). There’s a journal/calendar insert you can buy on Amazon (sorry-I can’t remember the exact name-it has Happy in the title). It…

Exactly. These are guys that are driven only by profit. Sure, everyone likes money but these guys are rich enough that they could have stopped working years ago and never had to compromise their standard of living. They can’t comprehend putting effort into anything besides making money. It’s nearly the opposite of how…

I doubt Putin himself ever dreamed he’d be this successful in compromising our country. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s had to call Trump himself and be like “dude, chill out, everyone can see us.”

Sorry this is a bit OT but I just can’t believe this shit is still happening. When I was in high school I was walking with a friend, on a weekend, off campus and we happened to walk by a teacher’s house. She came out and asked us to come inside and asked to go through our bags. We were freaked out but at 14, didn’t…

Of course it could do better. And criticism is an important part of making those improvements. But the Red Cross is often the one to reach out a hand to people in the worst moment of their lives. A lot of the responses we did were in “dangerous” neighborhoods and not only were we never threatened, neighbors were…

I can’t speak for the others mentioned here but there has been a lot of Red Cross slamming all over this thread and I don’t think it’s fair. Maybe things have really changed but when I did disaster response for the red cross, we went to the sites of residential fires, took care of the occupants who had made it out,…

I could be wrong but I think they’re referring too how the word “negger” starts to sound in your head if you say it a bunch of times.

He also sounds like the kind of guy who would pick that particular bar (which I know well) just so he could have fun saying the name to you.

When I was 19 and in college I worked at a store that sold itself as a great place for young mothers to work because of the benefits and employee discounts. Almost everyone I worked with besides me signed up based on that exact promise and every single one of them were given 39.5 hours a week. I wasn’t there very long…

I hadn’t thought about it in such stark terms until the rancid wad of spinach in his teeth, raised on male tears instead of milk, began to speak, revealing a truth many of them share.

Yep-abortion is worse than murdering your child because abortion is something mostly women do, while murdering your own child is more of a guy thing.

I am confident that I, a middle aged woman, could beat this man in a fistfight but I don’t feel the need to talk about it on tv.

I will never be able to hear the Rocky theme song again without picturing these craven assholes toasting themselves for attempting to take health insurance from millions of people. This is something I can picture high school sports teams doing, not a governing political party. It’s a complete disgrace.

My protest sign at the women’s march was going to be “They’re all gonna laugh at you!” but I decided at the last minute that it wasn’t serious enough for the occasion (no pun intended). I wonder how long before they come for the satirists?

Your last sentence needs to be shouted from the rooftops. We’re way past speculation at this point.

So he’s vaguely aware that there’s a country called the Congo (two of them in fact!) He should spend a little less time regurgitating high school term paper arguments about colonialism and spend a little more time brushing up on the colonial era Belgian Congo (now DRC, used to be Zaire). Despite decades of bloody…
