My mom liked to tell the story of how for me, her oldest, forceps were needed to get me out, but my little sister had to be caught by the doctor like a basketball!

Children will be henceforth referred to as "wombbusters" and abortion will be henceforth referred to as "nuking from orbit (it's the only way to be sure)."

It's a free cookie-locator app. I'd prefer it was a free-cookie locator app. :/

I remember a few years ago there was a guy that posted a comment in regards to a Hedgehog post here on Gawker...or i09 or something, one of these sites. Anyway, that's not the point. He and his valuable insight is needed here. He started out his comment with "Let me tell you about our pet Larry the Douchehog..." This…

I agree, I had a hedgehog and it was not an adorable, cuddly (or even petable) pet. And they smelled terrible. And the damn quills pissed me off.

Yeah, my roommate and I had a hedgehog in college (we went to a very pet friendly school), and she was a BITCH. I second everything you said. I knew a few other people at school who had hedgehogs and had better experiences (they had better personalities or something, I don't know), but I would never recommend them as…

I was lucky because my Mom is the one who broke the chain of abuse, which is why I was spared. My g-father knew he couldn't get away with abusing one of her daughter's.

Thank you for responding! I'm so happy it's getting better for you.

you've got to. It's called burnout and we lose our best people to it. I'm lucky to live in a county that has all no-kill shelters, finally. But I see the situation in states like CA, AZ, TX, and GA, and it just breaks my heart.

I don't know what to say, because I can't even imagine that horror. But the mama in me just wants to hug you and tell you how wonderful you are. You deserve that.

I can only wish you get to be safe from her in the meantime :(

My mother used to manipulate my sister and I into hating each other because she needed to know that we all loved her and worshiped her most. She never made us beat each other, but she loved hitting us.

I don't plan to make all that much effort restraining myself.

This is why I hate people who have kids, your kids cant leave you, they did not ask to be born, and for good or bad they have to live with what you did to them much longer then you have to live with it. Please, everyone stop assuming being aborted is something so worse then being born. You have no way…

I say good for the Loris! They are beautiful little things being treated like crap by an exploitative industry. Maybe this will make people think twice before they use wild animals as props.

Are you aware that the "doctor" who started this anti-vaxx mess WAS FOUND TO BE A FRAUD?

I did love American Doll Posse. I even like the classical stuff, although I think she could really use someone to edit her work. But actually, my favorite live moment of hers was when someone kept interrupting one of her songs to scream how much they loved her and she finally told them to fuck off.

Also, I in fact just cued up Riot Proof and my evening is better for it.

That's hilarious. Tori cloning 2015!

So I guess your favorite real spice is cumin?
