That was the experience my husband had. His bully was locked in basements for hours on end, told that he should have been aborted, starved, neglected, and physically abused. Things got better for my husband when the nuns at his school stepped in, but they never really got better for the bully.

That was actually a big reason we cut off my MIL (among many other, far more crazy reasons). We knew she was going to be difficult when she insisted she was "too young to be a grandma" (she was over 60!) and would not allow anyone to call her grandma. She then insisted that she was the "mommy" and would tell people…

Don't worry about the people who say it wrecks your life. I got pregnant unexpectedly at a young age (21), but I was married to someone with prospects so we went a long with it. For nine months all I heard from parents was how parenthood destroys your life. The thing I learned about it is that people who are happy are…

My feet hurt thinking about it.

I'm pretty sure she still buys the Roman "empty vessel" theory, ergo men cannot be infertile.

I love that it advocates burning one's house down. Pretty sure "I thought it was possessed" isn't going to hold up in court.

Our officiant said it during our ceremony. We eloped and had two close friends as witnesses. He was like, "well it's a relief that the couple and their hand-picked friends don't object".

Or it's just that I am a klutz with terrible handwriting :( My ex could actually do perfect calligraphy on tiny, tiny lines with a quill pen, while I was trying to fit three sentences onto a post-it note using pencil.

Yeah, I am pretty sure that the part is supposed to be used if someone has a really bad secret, i.e. the married pair are half-siblings, the groom has multiple illegitimate children, etc. It's not supposed to be used so you can re-enact a romantic comedy.

That is an issue? I was gifted more diaries than I could deal with at that age. The only one I used was one from Egypt and had gilded edges. It fit my style, as opposed to the unicorns-teddy bears-Lisa Frank ones.

The only time I had a slight problem was when my eldest (4 1/2) asked for a sister. I told him that we weren't having any babies. So he ran into my room, took my headband, purse, and dress out of the closet and threw them on my youngest (1 and very timid). One-year-old started to bawl while 4 1/2 year-old kept yelling…

Something tells me you have never been to a prison before, at least not in the United States in the past thirty years. I was a volunteer at the Bedford Women's Correctional Institute, and let me tell you, most of those women locked up are not hardened criminals. A lot of them were turning tricks or dealing drugs to…

Ugh, I am so sorry that happened to you. Good job on that doctor, though.

My guy orders for me and I have no problem with it. If it were a first date, yes, I would be skeeved, but we've been married for seven years. At this point he knows what I like.

As long as you don't sleep with the shart for a year, you're okay.

I was thinking more along the lines of having a doorknob in your ass.

You'll be really god-damn surprised. I was looking on-line for 20lb bags of flour to see what the prices were, and I stumbled on a category known as "Emergency Food". The reviews of these people were priceless. There are a bunch of people stocking up on freeze-dried food because Obummer (their words, not mine) is…

They are required, for most people.

Lost my virginity in a beautiful pine forest on a nature preserve. It would have been awesome if it wasn't March. And there wasn't a layer of ice on the ground, digging into my knees with every thrust. And I wasn't on my period, etc.

I am not - I decided, after teaching in after-school programs during my senior year, that it was not my calling. However, I did grow up with a mom that worked in schools, a sister in law that works in a school for severely autistic children, friends that are teachers in impoverished rural and urban areas, and a…
