I get what you’re saying about the word server but I think one of the reasons it is preferred is because it is a gender neutral term.

I am definitely a millennial and I totally agree with you. I can be happy with less if my work brings me joy and satisfaction. I consider my time to be so much more valuable than money and I know work is always going to take up a huge part of my time.

My birthday is on Monday, so you’re all invited to my Last Fuckable Day Cook Out.

That obligation is something I still struggle with, but I’m trying to get better. I did and still do even, feel a little silly about that pool encounter because like I said its not like he commented on my boobs or tried to find out what room I was staying in. It just didn’t feel right for an older guy to approach a…

We had a uniform at my catholic grade school. Of course there were all sorts of rules we were required to follow and all sorts of lectures when we didn’t but the one that always stood out to me was the infamous bra conversation when we were in 8th grade.

I was in my early teens and on vacation with my family once, when we decided to go to the hotel pool. There was one rather small rectangular pool and one kiddie pool. The area wasn’t huge, but it was rather crowded that day. My mom took my youngest sister to play in the kiddie pool and I was in charge of the two…

I had been 16 for less than a month when I started working at a dairy queen. We kept the dilly bars and ice cream sandwiches in a freezer underneath the counter with the cups and blizzard toppings on it, so when I was standing at the register taking orders it was behind me. A man came in asking about mint dilly bars…

I worked at a dairy queen when I was 16. We didn’t have a drive through or any indoor seating, and one time a woman sent in her daughter (not more than 8 years old) to place the order and then take it out to the car. I don’t remember exactly what the little girl said but after asking a few clarifying questions, it…

I am seething from second hand rage at the last story. I don't think I could have stopped myself from either yelling, hitting someone, or walking by their table after they're seated and spitting int he food myself right in front of them. Fucking people.

I remember seeing all sorts of ridiculous English words and phrases on tshirts in stores when I was in France. I’m so tired now that my brain is trying to protect me from the rage by interpreting this as one of those unfortunate shirts. I know this was likely on purpose since the other shirts were mostly nonsensical…

I genuinely would like to know how you make your own pads. I am very interested in hearing more and possibly trying it out myself.

starred because my family also calls it floppy bacon

Funny enough, I have an older brother, and 3 younger sisters. We are all very evenly spread about 3-4 years apart. It all looks very well planned. But my mom has mentioned to me that 2 of my sisters were accidents. I don't know if that means the rest of us were planned or if she just hasn't specifically said that the…

because Jim Henson finds it offensive. #notallmuppets

Do you have a link you could post? Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places but I can't seem to find it.

I was pretty sure you were talking about my mom until you mentioned the MFA and art museum.

I always thought the bigger problem with that song was that the overall message was "don't worry, hon, dudes think fat girls are hot too" and not "everyone is a person worthy of being treated as such, no matter what size"

In my sister's preschool class there was a girl named Murphy and a girl named Midnight. No one can convince me that these aren't dog names.

nope, Ohio

There was a small family owned coffee shop with a stage for musicians that I liked to hang out at in high school called Expresso Yourself. Combine that with being located in a white midwestern soccer mom suburb and NOBODY could say espresso properly. (except the guy who owned the place. He was a treasure.)
