I also recognize four of them and don’t particularly like any of the four. I did really like Jimmy Eat World fifteen years ago though.

That is sweet! Especially the fact that she was doing it herself instead of making one of her assistants do it.

Oooh, tell me more! What did she buy?

Thank you. I work with migrants who have made their way through Europe, and many speak highly of their time in Greece because of people like you.

Swedish redhead here as well, and let me tell you, I’ve forgotten what snow is like. The last winters have been so mild that when the temperature dropped below zero yesterday, I kind of forgot that you’re supposed to wear gloves when it’s cold out. I used to feel a certain kind of affinity with Canadians, but now I…

It’s incredibly heartening to hear that I am not the only one around who no longer pays much attention to music. Younger me would be appalled.

My husband went to all of my check-ups, but that was because I wanted him to. We’d usually check for a heartbeat and I wanted him there in case one couldn’t be found. I had to go to one appointment alone, though, because that is required just because they want the chance to ask you about violence in the home. The odd…

I gave birth a few months back (four months and a day, but who’s counting...), and in the bathroom at the labor ward there was a wardrobe where they kept all of the maternity pads. I went to get one and there was a card fastened to the inside of the door that said “turn this card over to the blank side if you are…

My son is three months old. He’s getting a baby sled and a pair of thick winter overalls from us, a.k.a “stuff he needed anyway”. Plus my husband came home from grocery shopping yesterday with an illustrated book about the history of tractors that he’s pretending is for the baby and not for him.

My in-laws never talk about politics because they found out early in their relationship (35 years ago) that they vote for different parties. I understand that they do it because they don’t want to fight, but some things are worth fighting for and about. I just know that if I did the same thing in a relationship, I’d…

Yeah, I’m certainly no expert, but I agree, it sounds way more like a behavioral issue than an addiction. I also subscribe to the idea that Wiener is primarily an asshole even if he might also be a self-sabotaging wreck.

I can’t stand the look of him. I know it’s illogical but I keep imagining those reptile eyes. That scene had a great impact on me, apparently.

Yep, same here. My husband will sometimes ask me to check his email for me, and I sometimes ask him the same thing. I don’t even want to remember his password, his e-mail account is shock full of things he hasn’t responded to even though he should and purchase verifications for very boring things. Hell, sometimes I…

That was actually fucking hilarious!

Yes. You’re probably right. I knew having a child would be a game changer, but I didn’t know it would change your taste in entertainment. I actually watched the entire Highlander 2: The Quickening the other week, and I’m pretty sure I’m the only person to ever have done so.

Seven weeks ago, I came home from the hospital with a baby. During one of our sleepless nights in the weeks thereafter, my husband and I tuned in to watch a “documentary” on princess Kate on a cable channel we previously didn’t know we had. I am not exaggerating when I say that at least fifteen minutes of this two…

Since it was 1997, I found out about it by browsing teletext on my tv as I woke up. It must have been either a weekend or a school holiday, because I remember laying in bed and watching the news report all day. I was twelve.

I once spent 24 hours in a hospital bed next to a patient who was dying of ALS. That was ten years ago, and I think about her all the time. What she experienced has to be one of the most fucked up, scary as hell things on this earth. No one should have to go through that.

I was just gonna mention Hanson! I loved them (Taylor especially) and I loved Leo. Maybe they looked safe to me, or relatable somehow? The androgynous look is still esthetically pleasing to me, but I stopped being attracted to it sexually as I got older. When I was a teenager though? I was all about the baby face.

The itching can be solved with an antihistamine. Otherwise, some numbing cream and a mild cortisone-cream. Or both.
