Not the parent of an only, but an only myself. I loved it! I grew up on four acres surrounded by woods in the country, had several dogs/cats/a horse at any given time, and I was never really lonely. I loved taking off to go hiking in the woods with just my dogs for company. I had good friends at school and…

Yep, yep, yep. My best friend routinely shows up 15-30 minutes late whenever we get together. We made plans recently to go to an event, something she genuinely seemed excited for. A week before the event I decided not to text her about the details, such as “what time should I be there,” etc., just to see if she’d take…

I discovered the Allman Brothers in earnest when I was a freshman in college in the late nineties. I had their greatest hits on tape and practically wore the damn thing out during my drives back and forth from home. They remain one of my favorite road trip bands; those guitar solos and Gregg’s voice could transport…

My god, I love this. “The king of slime! The king of filth! The king of REFUSE!”

Overalls present a unique set of problems for someone like me who has a long torso, big boobs, and a high waist. They’re never long enough, and for some reason all the overalls I’ve tried in the past 10 years have a really low waist, drowning my natural waist and making my hips look five times bigger. I had a pair in…

THIS. I’ve never understood how the general population can just buy a S-M-L sized bra that fits them in both the cups and band. I’d need at least an XL for the cups and M for the band.

You know it’s bad when the size 2 models don’t even look good in them. It feels like everyday fashion has given up-they just stitch a few panels of fabric together and call it a shirt, and we all end up looking like we’re wearing paper bags. I’m convinced a lot of women don’t like these trends any more than I do, they…

This show has had me in tears more than once, and I’m NOT a crier. The scene you’re talking about where the women immediately jump to Celeste’s defense and start hitting Perry brought a flood of tears. In that moment all the bullshit just dropped, and it just became “protect one of our own.” It was beautiful in a way.…

I keep seeing Old Navy/GAP list them as “the PERFECT summer top.” For who? Fourteen year olds with no breasts? (That doesn’t even work, I had C cups in sixth grade.)

Yes to the stretched out sides of shoes-you can see exactly where my pinky toes have shaped almost all my closed toed shoes. And yet at the same time I have fairly skinny heels.

I feel your pain. I’ve broken both my pinky toes numerous times (spatial awareness issues), and they stick out at funny angles from my foot. My mom says they look like crooked popcorn shrimp. Anything with a lot of straps around them is a no-go unless they come with a wide toe box, which is nearly impossible to find.…

I’ll be going to the march in Columbus Ohio. I really want to display a picture of Doc Brown from Back to the Future with a sign that says “Put Science Back in our Future!”

Anyone else planning on going to the science march at the end of the month? A friend and I are going, and it will be our first march ever (desperately wanted to attend the women’s march, but I had a family event that weekend). So my question is-what’s the best way to make protest signs? I know many cities don’t allow…

Good to know-we flew out of O’Hare. Besides the usual clusterfuck that is O’Hare, all went fairly smooth.

This Village of Sweatpansia-tell me more. Sounds like a fun place to live.

I recently flew first class (Aer Lingus) to Ireland. My mom and I wore leggings, track pants and hoodies. It was my first time flying first class, and I had no idea that apparently you’re supposed to at least wear business casual. There were certainly others in first class dressed like we were, and no one ever said…

Starred for Kevin G, he was the funniest/best thing about that movie.

I wish more women were like you. I always try to be polite and ask my friends/acquaintances who are parents about their kids, and to be honest, I don’t mind them talking about them. It’s when they talk about nothing BUT their kids that I start to get annoyed. It would be nice if they extended me the same courtesy and…

SO MUCH THIS. I don’t dig on the overly muscular look at all, and I prefer my men with nice furry chests.

I propose a new rule. If I don’t subscribe to your religion, then the laws you make in the name of said religion don’t apply to me either. Let only those who believe in this crazy shit have to abide by your fucked up laws.
