Acupuncture rocks! And I say that as someone who has tremendous fear of needles. My last two years of periods were excruciating. I had adnomyosis and the only thing my doctor gave me was vicodin, which didn’t begin to touch the level of pain. I didn’t want to get surgery or have my periods chemically suppressed. I…

Thank you. I feel much better today and it felt good to get such positive feedback here. Many moms (and dads!) do it alone and there is never a break, but in the end, we love our kids and our kids feel that love. Phew. 

So basically you are *every mom* at some point or another. Give yourself some grace.... kids can get under our skin even on our best day, let alone when you’re recently divorced and tired and working your ass off just to stay afloat. My middle son pulled the same trick when he BEGGED to play soccer and then the first…

I get it.

Yesterday morning, courtesy of my narcissistic witch mother and rotten sister, I woke up to seven missed calls from my dad’s cell, and a pile of increasingly frantic (and annoyed, TBH) texts from my sister, saying some variation of “mom and dad think you’re dead because you never call them so you need to call them…

Someone dressed a Pomeranian dog as Paddington Bear...and now the world seems a slightly better place to be in than it did yesterday

It’s bootleg vape liquids that are hurting people. And if you ban people’s favorite flavors from being sold legally, they’ll just buy, guess what? Bootleg vape liquids.

So just to follow the slippery slope here (I know it’s a fallacy), should we also ban any kind of sweet or fruity liquor?

I love this movie so much. Its casting is spot-on (Gabriel Byrne is STILL a major crush of mine because of his pitch-perfect performance), the music is stunning, the direction is beautiful, the costumes are great. I always shout-out Trini Alvarado’s lovely and understated performance (and I’m glad she mentioned being…

You got further with your father than I did. I finally found mine, who made my mother give my older brother up for adoption, and told her she had to abort me. When I finally found him, at 36, he has another family and a daughter in college he supports. He won't acknowledge my existence. I'm about to contact the…

My dad was a raging alcoholic asshole who would sell his own kid for a nickle.

The comments are SO weird to me. A wedding doesn’t have to be an EVENT. It can just be a happy celebration. The dinosaur didn’t steal the entire thing. Did people look at the Dino? Fuck yeah. But that doesn’t take anything away from two people promising to love each other.

Still slightly better tasting than actual cigarette smoke which tastes like your grandmothers dick.

When people use nicotine patches, or gum, we say they’ve quit smoking.  What’s the difference?  All I know is I no longer have asthma or any respiratory illnesses since I switched.  Gum, etc., didn’t work for me because I’m a twitchy nervous person who needs to keep my hands busy.  NOW, I will say this.  I do treat it…

After 20 years, I ONLY quit smoking after I started vaping. The media is hyping this up. Don’t take away my vape because parents didn’t watch their kids. Number one, the smoking age was 18 to begin with, so what are these kids doing vaping? Two, all of the cases so far were THC, NOT straight nicotine. Three, you can…

Aw, thanks! I’m really happy you dug them.

The sodium bomb is why it’s delicious. If onion powder were just as good, you’d get cute onion and pepper shakers as wedding gifts. 

That’s maybe the nicest thing I’ve ever heard. Awkward one-armed hugs for you.

This strikes me as God’s own canapé. I may make them for this year’s Christmas Eve feast.
