I wish I had a dollar for every “wife of” and “mother of” identifiers I’ve seen. I’m married, and honestly I never think of myself in terms of being a wife. I’m interested in sociology, and if I had the time I’d do some deeper research and write a book about this bizarre hive-mind. 

As I said above, I’ve never had a social media account-this website is the only place I’ve ever posted anything online. But as an outsider, it almost seems like all the millennial women got together and decided that only one personality/set of interests/fashion style/way of speaking was acceptable. They seem like…

Lately I’ve become really disgusted by the number of people I know who are living such “curated” lives. I don’t partake in social media, but during the rare occasions that I peruse other people’s accounts, I’m amazed by how phony everything feels. Everything is about presenting a certain image of yourself that fits a…

A million stars for "Barttthelona."

I watched my dad suffer with primary progressive MS for 30 years. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer he said he was more than ready to go; he could barely move by that point, and like your friend was having issues with things like swallowing. He passed away within a month of his cancer diagnosis, and as sad as it…

Or once a month. I have a short pixie and relatively slow-growing hair, and every four weeks works just fine for me.

This is brilliant advice, thank you!

This was actually one of the better ideas that I’ve been considering. I could go on and on about artists/albums I love all day long. 

Good advice, I’ll look into it. She recently wrote a piece for the New York Times about self harm that I considered bringing up; I don’t have personal experience, but it was inspiring.

Honestly, my husband is probably more of a feminist than I am, and I’m pretty hardcore. It’s not forced either; it just comes naturally to him to treat women as equals in all aspects of life. Every day I ask myself what the fuck I did to deserve such a wonderful partner.

Wednesday was the first day of early voting in Ohio and I went over first thing after work. Felt great to get it done. If the millennials don’t show up in record numbers this election I will stop feeling bad about every stereotype I buy into about them. 

Watching scary movies and drinking Witches Brew wine. Hoping SNL does a spoof on Kanye’s Trump meeting. 

You guys. YOU GUYS. I’m meeting Shirley Manson next week! My husband and I are huge Garbage fans, and we decided to cough up the money to buy backstage passes in addition to tickets for their Version 2.0 Anniversary Tour when it comes to our state on Thursday. Technically I’ve already met her once; in 1998 we were…

I had gallbladder issues randomly for about five years and was mis-diagnosed twice during that time (our local hospital has a really shitty ER, they’ve seriously killed people). Then all of a sudden I experience the same thing as you-multiple attacks in a fairly short time period. I went to a new doctor who actually…

Oh Lloyd, you will always be my #1. Not even Patrick Verona comes close.

Word. I think I may have aged out of Jezebel if Lloyd Dobler isn’t on this list. Absolutely #1.

You had me at the combination of fries and goat cheese. 

I love snakes-what a cutie! Might be a garter snake, which are relatively harmless. Snakes, spiders and bats all get an unfairly bad rep.

“That's not a name, that's a major appliance!" ;)

I've felt this way about spaghetti dinners and pancake breakfast fundraisers for years.
