We just gave them my husband’s last name. Tradition was easiest there. Again, primary motivation for me = laziness. Hyphens are annoying, and I didn’t really care about passing on my last name.

I’m getting married next year, and fully intend to keep my own name. For one, I’m lazy too and it’d be a pain in the ass to change. And there’s already more than enough bureaucracy to deal with because we’re from two different countries, living in a third, and having our wedding in a fourth. For two, I’m nearly 30…

A better world through laziness. Now that’s activism I can get behind. Sorta.

this. i was going to, i was, and then i realized it would require a tiny bit of effort and i changed my mind.

Ugh I swear this is like the reaction to anything new that might change how things have been done in Japan

I pretty much didn’t change my name after my marriage out of laziness, but I lied to my husband and said I Felt Strongly About The Patriarchy And My Name is My Name.

One of the reasons I have a dead end job rather than a career is I cannot take the notion of myself as a career person seriously. I’m 44 and cannot wear heels and have never owned a suit; the idea of being in charge of anything is both laughable and terrifying. If I had an office job I would be constantly waiting for…

I often am stuck with a “I ain’t got the spoons for this shit” day and I have, on more than one occasion, awarded myself with a fancy coffee or a cookie just for taking a shower or brushing my teeth. Because there was a time in my life where those things didn’t happen for far longer than I’m comfortable revealing…

I hate the trend of having a fit over the trends of the moment and acting like your special because of it. There’s a sort of irony in this “I’m so above this, I don’t just do what everyone else does” that so fricking many people do. The trite culture of complaining about trite culture. If you don’t like it don’t do…

Okay so I know you were talking about, you know, ‘THE NORMAL’ healthy humans BUTTTTTT...

okay but i finally learned how to fold a fitted sheet and that was a proud moment

Congrats to her! She sounds like someone who really hates pregnancy so I’m happy for her that it’s over!

This story only starts out like a horror story. It was horrible for me at the time. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our first Thanksgiving together. It was also just a couple years since my Mom died, a loss which had blasted a huge hole in our family. We scattered after that and had Thanksgivings either alone or…

I have to agree with you. It’s part of being a kid. In the end, if the kid gets a haircut, consider it a life lesson for them. Hair grows back. It’s not like these are lawn darts.

So basically they are the industrialized version of the shit I have to cut out of my dog’s matted fur every fall. The progress humankind has made...

Maybe I’m just jaded, but a DEA agent dad making frequent trips to Panama seems like a pretty good way to re-up.

I’m sure she’ll be treated the same as say, a male African American drug dealer with no DEA agent father?

I think Taco bell even has a giant Chipotle knockoff now.

I use the original Good Eats recipe with an apple, onion, cinnamon stick, and sage in the cavity, following a good brining.
