Some people have genuinely gross feet. I don't mind clean feet on a floor (Hell, I'm barefoot in my office right now) but there are some people who have feet that absolutely reek.

I'm not a frequent flyer, but one time I was on a coach to the Hamptons with a very drunk old lady (think: Lucille Bluth) who kept aggressively hitting on two gay guys for the entire trip. And we got stuck in traffic. It was very uncomfortable for everyone.

I need to take introvert time. The kids are usually up at 7ish, we spend the day together (the wee one takes a mid-day snooze but the eldest is still up in the afternoons), then the kids are in bed between 7 and 8ish. Literally, the second the eldest settles in, usually with a few stuffed animals or books, it's…

It may be some form of depression - your friend should get herself checked. I felt that way when my oldest was two, literally I took care of him and really didn't enjoy the time with him. When he was asleep, my two hobbies were drinking and sleeping. Once I got some basic treatment for my anxiety disorder, things were…

Love the cut-out leather!

That's what I came here to say. My mom was a terrible mother who wanted four children; my dad wanted no children. For the majority of my life, he treated me the same way he treated house cats: taking care of my basic need and occassionally clucking and saying "isn't she adorable?" when I did something cute. I was not…

I remember driving upstate with a friend from NC and we were on the NYS Thruway. She saw the exit sign for Coxsackie and laughed like a 12 year old at the name.

The fact that she chose a vanilla air freshener adds an extra level of #basic.

Look up Pre-Trial programs for youth and/or adults. They can run up to $5000.

If you are a specialist, it is perfectly legal not to take insurance, as long as there are other specialists available nearby that do take insurance. When I worked in a Physical Therapy office, the head PT did not accept insurance for orthopedic injuries, since there were other PTs in the office that did ortho…

Yeah, my doctor was like "do you really want diarrhea and labor at the same time?"

Haha - bumpy roads are supposed to work 2. I remember considering riding the F train from end to end when I was 40 weeks pregnant to get the damn kid out.

Unfortunately, a lot of people think sexual harassment is only "big mean Boss man tells young secretary to give him a blowjob in order to get a raise". They don't realize that jokes, gestures, etc. can be construed as sexual harassment.

It really is amazing. I had a sadistic mother who would occasionally beat the daylights out of me and knew how to hit so it wouldn't leave conspicuous bruises. The worst part was her psychological terror - my dad and I were always walking on eggshells. It took me until last year to realize that she was indeed…

This happened well before my time (early 1970s), but here is the story I heard:

My friend's lab managed, in the span of three months, to eat a BlackBerry, a chair, and a glass ornament. I don't know how he didn't require surgery and/or die.

Ugh, my friend's beagle used to love to eat our pads and tampons. He would make a big show of it, dragging it from the waste bin (which was a step bin - we always wondered about that one) out into the living room and slowly devouring it. #NaturalHunter.

Buffalo: NY's answer to Florida (despite the fact that there is a Florida, NY).

We're afraid to say no because there is a very strong possibility that we may be met with violence. We have no idea whether a guy is a normal guy or a complete psychopath. Hell, I'm married but I've gotten met with near-violence for turning a random stranger down.

Ugh, Mayim, I can't deal with you anymore. Personally, I am a little over Frozen (it officially jumped the shark when my husband showed me the Frozen/Fifty Shades mashup) but it is still an enjoyable movie and the songwriters were awesome during their appearance on NPR. I'm not a fan of Mayim's style of "I'm so cool…
