Y'all ever seen what guac looks like after sitting out for 4 hours? At least when the queso gets the disgusting skin atop it you can stir it back up and turn the crockpot back on.

I cannot believe this is even news. My junior high and high school dance team had almost these exact. same. rules. Also, it's not like these women ONLY do this for a living. Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders are REQUIRED to have a "real" job outside of cheering unless they're a full time student.

Yes, yes, and yes. My Mom is the quintessential high-functioning alcoholic, and has been for 30 years. She makes over 70k being an admin assistant (a job she could od in her sleep), gets drunk at work to blackout points, drives drunk, has been hospitalized with frat-daddy level BACs (.34), and various other offenses…

I belonged to competitive dance teams in junior high and high school and our rules were WAY more stringent than this. Naturally we weren't "fined" with cash ($1o being a ridiculously small amount), but we got "demerits" which, when accumulated sufficiently, would result in you being benched. These are easy rules for…

Unless you're on the Real World, typically they don't record in the bathroom, so why wouldn't you go in the shower? Also, if I "caught" my husband doing that on TV, I would close the door quietly and tiptoe away so I wouldn't humiliate him. He is the father of 8 overexposed and exploited children, and she should…

H/T for the Hedberg shoutout!

AGREED!! Plus...all children these days are carrying some variant of the plague (just read the overshares on your friend's' feeds).

I'm a certified group exercise instructor and I have the 200 hour certification in Yoga. None of these things are 2014 "trends". All of these things were incorporated into any respectable trainer/instructor's classes years ago, based on evidence from studies. HIIT="turbo" sections of kickboxing, sprints in cycle…

I think we all have battle stories like this—mine is midnight showing of From Hell on a weeknight during the school year with 3 kids under 10.

So, they don't have those small blue bag dispensers you put on your leash there in CA? Cause we even have them here in the backwoods of TExas.

Best. GIF. Ever.

If you loved the book but hated the ending, you really oughta read her earlier two books: Dark Places and Sharp Objects. Dark and addictive, just how I like things. :)

Hand to sweet baby jeebus, I had the same early-childhood crush that has persisted to this DAY.

You must....just look. http://lookadoo.com/PeekADoo.aspx

I emailed in—they owe it to her. If he hadn't had a monologue on his own dreams, maybe she could have at least given the website address so those of us that care could learn more.

As a Houstonian, I can tell you that you forgot the part about going 85 miles per hour while watching the game on their phones. :)

You describe exactly the same experience I had reading Ramona. As a kid in an economically....challenged household relative to my schoolmaters, reading about that family was so familiar and comforting.

My Mom was neither Super Mom nor Super CEO, and I feel like that situation—not being helicoptered, but not being neglected—was a fabulous balance. I never had to be told to do my homework or get good grades. My parents never stayed up late doing projects with (or for) me for school. It fostered a huge sense of…

Mexican coke in the glass bottles (it has real cane sugar, not the HFCS shit) and spicy jalapeno breakfast tacos from a BBQ place.

I finally gave up straightening my hair in college, when I realized I didn't want to run around the dorm in huge velcro rollers that I would then just have to take out and then run a ceramic straightener through. Despite people (unsolicited) telling me that they preferred my hair straight, I gave up on the routine…
