hell, bipolar meds are STILL just a matter of guesswork and shrugging! god only knows how sorry they'll feel for us in a hundred years...

It was happening recently. My ex sister-in-law's grandmother was put into a local asylum (which closed late 80's/early 90's) for postnatal depression and left there until she died about 30 years later, not long before the asylum closed. She was put in there after she found out about her husband's extra-marital affair,…

The locking up of women wasn't solely a Victorian issue.

There are plenty of cases like that, though there were measures taken in 1763 to curb men dropping off their wives. These asylums were for-profit, with fees 20# to 60# a year, which determined the quarters, meals, and living conditions for the inmates. It was a…

I wonder how many cases there are of women institutionalized for things like "hysteria." Obviously some of the women were in there for actual mental illness, but I've gotta believe there were a bunch who just didn't fit into the Victorian ideals regarding womanhood.

Oh my God, when I was pregnant, I totally cried over:

Before I started drinking coffee, in college there was a commercial for mcdonalds, I think, about liking your coffee like you like your women. It may not have been mcdonalds, but that was the tag line. One day I got frustrated with the commercial and blurted out "What, dark and bitter?" Many laughs were had.

I just have to say this-C.A. Has become my favorite writer on the whole internet and Reading the comments after each article has restored my faith in humanity. You guys rock! Thank you for the laughs!

I guess Chipotle really does use all fresh ingredients if their employee didn't know how to open a can.

I'm going to march into Guy Fieri's place, order a sandwich, remove everything Fieri's wage slaves put on it, and then run outside with the roll screaming "I SAVE BREAD!"

I dont think Chipotle uses anything from cans but the worst part is that he actually was unsure what a can opener was and how it works. Was he frozen for the last 300 years?

I worked at an ice cream store for 6 years. We had multiple shops through out different towns close by, and often would see the same customers at each. One night, a man in his late twenties came by after our store had closed. Since the neighbors were a pain, we HAD to close at 9 pm sharp. He begged us to open. We kept…

The only place I've ever signed up for a comment account. Because BTL anywhere else is the popped zit leavings of humanity.

My FIL once drove two hours at the butt-crack of dawn to get my MIL some beignets while she was pregnant.

I like my coffee like I like my men. I don't drink coffee. —- Ellen Degeneres

As a pregnant woman, all I can say is god bless that man for his valiant effort. We want what we want when we want it, and if you get in between us and our food, we will cut you.

This was a lousy Monday... until I came home and saw that there were new restaurant stories to read! Seriously, this made my day that much better. What's wrong with me?

I know this might not be the best place to say it, but i just need to express my eternal gratitude to jezebel for having the only comments section anywhere on the Internet that fills me with joy instead of anger.

As a type this, there is a couple who just met on Tinder screwing in the bathroom of my bar. After they left me a 7% tip. So they screwed me too. Thanks for the weekly reminder that I'm not alone!

So I told what I thought was the one story I had that was spooky story worthy. But then this happened over Christmas:
