I lived in this house for a while in university (it has since been condemned, but that is not relevant). It was a weird old house for sure, but the basement was the weirdest. There was a room at the very back that we called rape closet (because we were funny like that). It had plywood floors, no exterior windows ,…

Addiction has nothing to do with intelligence. People do stupid things for all sorts of reasons but that doesn't make them stupid people. Not to offend, but I think your ignorance is showing. You obviously don't know very much about addiction. Its not easy to kick an addiction especially if you aren't thrilled about…

I think its more an acceptance that you can be good at and enjoy something without having to compare yourself to others. There will always be someone better, smarter, prettier, faster, thinner etc., but that doesn't have to devalue your accomplishments. Also, external validation as a legit measurement needs to assume…

My husband will not brush his teeth in front of me. He has watched me give birth, he has tried (I ran away and shut the door) to poop in front of me, but if he is brushing his teeth and I come into the bathroom he gets angry and foes to a different sink. I guess some things will always be a mystery?

This is kind of a silly article and should be retitled "motherhood: the magical cure for everything, apparently". But really I came here to tell commenters that is unbelievably rude to ask about the kind of contraception she was using. How or why this baby came to be is no ones business, so seriously gtfo. So many…

My mom never let me wear make up as a young lady because she assumed that i would become a pregnant crackwhore if i left the house with rouge ("think of the message you are sending!!") so I never really learned the ins and outs of makeup. Now I feel super self conscious when I am wearing it (partly because I am not…

I love Anne of avonlea and of the island! The series kind of dies with windy poplars though. Basically when Anne and Gilbert become a sure thing I am satisfied lol

My favorite book (in spite of an English degree) is/was/always will be Anne of green gables. There is such lightness and wholeheartedness that just doesn't exist in the the real world.

Seriously, dudes be crazy. I have a cousin who was tricked into marrying this guy who was faking cancer and stayed with him for a long time, not knowing the truth. He completely controlled her through her fear and then was found out because he was drunk at a bar instead of being at chemo in the hospital (where she…

I hope Rebel Wilson signs a big fat contract and makes a crazy stupid amount of money. And then she can slap on some spanx and take some pictures, which will be photoshopped, and she can laugh while she eats ice cream sandwiches topped with big macs. I seriously doubt they can sue her for not losing enough weight.

Oh Miley, we all believe you now. You are edgy. Now stop it.

I had the same problem! I remember my pony tail holder breaking in high school one day and spending the entire day eyes down because I was convinced i looked crazy. People even complimented me, but I assumed they just felt bad for me. It took finding a good hairdresser for me to realize that my hair is curly and…

It makes me so angry when people say "I am just protecting my daughter from predators by forcing her to dress in a way I deem appropriate" because it is backwards and stupid. Oh course parents want their children to dress modestly, that's a parent thing. My mom used to ask me when I wore tank tops or shorts "what is…

I do what I can. I work part time, my baby daddy has a pretty good job. I am really incredibly blessed with a loving support circle. My parents and sister aren't too far, my friend runs a daycare so I get pretty cheap, flexible care. The only part of having a kid that is financially difficult (assuming you don't have…

To the auntie to be: if/when your sister has that baby, I am willing to bet that she will pull her shit together more smoothly that you are giving her credit for. When I got pregnant (at 23) I was a classic dirt bag (drugs, drinking, shitty job blahblah), but having my sweet baby, who is 2 now, taught me a lot about…

I am fairly certain that the VMAs are just MTV's attempt to stay A list relevant. The only way to get all the cool kids to come is to give them awards. I am sure MTV would rather do a reality competition show where celebrities compete live for award, but I don't think anyone would go for it.

I believe it is because teenage boys are more likely to engage in risky behavior. Things like racing, 'stunt' driving (ebrake stops, turning donuts etc), and just general stupidity. Its not that teenage girls are better drivers, they are more cautious (or nervous?)

I take issue with a built in tip. First, it is a gratuity. I know, blah blah servers all deserve fair wages, but a gratuity is from a customer as thanks for the service (I do think all service should be rewarded, even if you don't smile at me you still brought me my food and usually I demand more free bread everytime…
