LOL! Well, between “fight” and “flight,” flight is usually the smarter solution, so don’t be too hard on yourself? :D

Holy shit I am so sorry! I cannot imagine how terrifying that was, especially worrying about yourself AND children. Lucky for that dude all he encountered was a knife and two level-headed people. I can’t say he would have been as lucky in my house. I’m glad you’ve had access to therapy and that things are getting…

Don’t forget good ol’ Ken Paxton an his multiple indictments! Local Williamson County legend, Sherriff Chody, also a real winner. 

That part. That’s exactly what’s going on. 

Williamson County resident here and it brings me GREAT JOY that this turd is facing charges. Chody has thought he was untouchable hot shit for a long time. WilCo deputies are notorious for all the reasons police are notorious, and seeing him face some consequences is great news. He is also currently up fo re-election.…

CW: innocent bird death.

I have similar anxiety dreams! Except in mine, for some reason my current husband is gone (not dead, just gone, left, and always because of something I did but I don’t know what) and in my dream I am also back with my awful, horrible, emotionally abusive ex and the whole time I am thinking, “No, this is wrong, where…

OMG bury it! My husband is a big burly bro dude, but I think even he would do that without even asking. He is a softie for dogs, though. 

I totally feel you on the not realizing things aren’t normal until later thing! The house I grew up in was always just....off. I was TERRIFIED to go to my room at the end of the hall if it was dark, even if it was daytime and just dark outside. I always had to sleep with some kind of noise (still keep a fan running to…

We bought our house last year and it was very dated, so we did a TON of cosmetic updates: full tile in the whole 1,800sq ft house, new light fixtures everywhere (death to boob lights!), baseboards, all new interior paint, knocked out a column to open up the living room, new fixtures in the kitchen and bathroom,…

LOL @ quarters in the cuss jar. We re-did our WHOLE house ourselves, full tile floors, light fixtures, baseboards, the works. My husband absolutely cussed the most when it came to replacing the kitchen sink faucets. He is very handy and knew exactly what he was doing and it was STILL a PITA. 

I have three tattoos and still like all of them, although I did have to have my first one on my hip re-done by a better artist after a few years because I matured and realized the first artist was garbage.

I have white ink incorporated into one of my tattoos on my wrist. It’s about 6 years old and is slightly yellowed from melanin (I tan easily) but still looks pretty good. It definitely depends on your skin tone and the size and style of what you want, but if it’s just the word you can probably find someone who can…

So sweet! My husband is the exact same way - he cannot lie to me about anything! I even knew when he was going to propose because I could tell he was about to explode. He has, however, pulled off one big surprise (one time - in ten years!) a couple of Christmases ago. He came up with some story about why we had to…

Fave is definitely the Britney mashup! 

I don’t think it’s that uncommon for RDs to be linked to diet-culture-heavy advice and misguided diets that make them money. It’s a well documented issue that many RDs get into the field because they are also disordered eaters, or recovering from ED. thenerdnutritionist is a great Instagram account to follow to see…

Agree - I think the important lede was buried under all the speculation. Whether or not her bars have issues, eating very little food is not good for you!

LOL I’m glad someone else enjoys a good ironic German name. Unrelated but similar fun story: My husband went to a different college than me, and one of his buddies had the last name Kleinpeter. When I was introduced to him at a weeding, I said, “wait...Klein...peter, like...” and his eyes got HUGE. I was the first…

ahahahahaha, this one is my fave so far. Mostly because I grew up in East Texas and just thinking about running in the heat made my hair stick to my neck again. 

I’ve spent two nights in Watford City. I feel you! :/
