What a beautiful girl. Give her lots of birthday kisses for me!

I graduated high school in 1998. We had a teacher that was notorious for fits of rage and would often throw things during class. I personally witnessed him throw his keys across the room, narrowly missing a student. If this man had been allowed to carry a gun in class, I’m positive someone would have ended up dead.

I have horrible under-eye circles, even when I’ve gotten plenty of sleep (fair skin and allergies are to blame). The only concealer I’ve ever found that REALLY works is Makeup Forever’s Full Cover Concealer. I don’t even bother trying others anymore; it’s the only thing that hides my allergy shiners. It’s nice not…

As a fellow member of the GCLCLRG community, the second I saw her wearing glasses I felt immediate validation, which was quickly followed by the knowledge that I will never look as amazing as Lupita in her specs and couture.

While I would love to see a remake, I shudder to think what Disney would do with the material. The ‘70's cartoon stayed true to the feel of the book, not glossing over the violence of the natural world. A Disney version would probably look like Hop or Peter Rabbit.

Same, right down to the callus bump. When I was in second grade my teacher made me wear a special slide-on thingy on my pencils to try to correct it. Never worked. The way I hold it just feels more stable to me. My mom is left-handed and sometimes I wonder if maybe I was mean’t to be.

Same. Having to be at work at 7 a.m. is worth it to me when I get to leave at 4 p.m.

Whenever I read product diaries this tends to be my main takeaway. Up at 8:30? Jesus christ, I’ve gotta be at work by 7 a.m.

School Ties is such a great movie, and he was amazing in it. I always wonder why more people haven’t seen it.

THANK YOU. Flares balance out my birthing hips and make my short legs look longer.

As a lifelong Bowie fan, I’m truly jealous. It was clear from photographs that they worshiped each other.

YAAAASSS (obviously I’m a fan). I have two boys, one 15 and one 9, and my husband and I have spoiled them rotten. They’re SO freakin’ smart it’s scary, especially their emotional intelligence. Your boy was beautiful!

Fellow Ohioan here. My mother and I took a trip to Ireland in 2016. A tour guide asked if any of us were Irish, and I hung my head in shame when my mother piped up with “we are!” (her mother/my grandmother’s family was originally from Galway). The lovely tour guide just smiled and said “hmm, you don’t sound Irish...”

Honestly, this is why me and my best friend have seen each of these movies in the theater. We like to sit in the back, get cozy in the leather recliners, order alcohol and maybe a brownie sundae, and basically perform our version of Mystery Science Theater 3000. It’s a blast.

This sounds crazy, but in a way I’m glad my uterus devolved fibroids that required me to get a hysterectomy at 37. My husband and I never wanted kids, and I was so excited by the prospect of being unable to have children that my doctor was a bit weirded out.

My mother-in-law used to say that she wished young boys were sterilized at an early age, which could be reversed later if the man was worthy of it. A problematic idea, but one that has its appeals.

You summed up my feelings on this so much better than I could have. I live in a semi-rural area in Ohio, and this is the hard truth.

My husband and I met them in 1999, and that was our experience as well. :)

My dad once told me that he was positive that if I didn’t have my dogs, I would have had kids by now. Sure, dad. Thankfully mom accepted that I truly didn’t want kids long before that.

My husband would have been right there with him-he’s always worshiped Shirley.
