Thing that actually helps-spending half an hour in the shower twice a day blowing snot down the drain.

That looks just like the guy my SIL just dumped. Weird.

It’s creepy and weird. I get a lot of “are you going to let him” from some of lovey’s friends. And it drives me crazy. He can make his own decisions. I can make mine. We take each other into account but nobody is in charge.

Spaghetti-Os are not a Chef Boyardee product. They are far superior, and the meatballs are the key. Always w/meatballs. Never w/hotdogs.

Is there a thing that xkcd hasn’t done perfectly yet? It’s the nerd equivalent of “Simpsons did it!”

There is a version of Sudoku that starts blank, the only clues are puzzle piece outlines with totals in them. Each piece also has to have unique numbers and add up to the total. My fiancé thinks I’m insane. I just stare at a new puzzle doing math in my head and twisty logic. I find it very meditative. I also have a…

Ha. As a woman of nearly 40 who barely lives like an adult all I have to say to this article......I’m rubber and you’re glue.

Yeah that wait? That’s a problem. Might not have been for you, but for people that don’t live near a clinic that can mean having to have the baby.

You are human being on this planet and you have a right live on it anyway you like. The dude is the one who was irresponsible and chose to be a rapist.

I had a medical abortion around tenish years ago. I remember wearing a pad to go to bed mostly because I never wear pads. But I don't remember any extra discomfort. I was also barely pregnant, just at about 5-6 weeks. I get probably medium to strong period cramps normally so this was equal to or less than that.

4 years ago I was sitting outside on a coffee shop patio weeping to my mother that I would never find anyone. Shortly after, I had two short, terrible flings (a musician on tour with a not famous band and an artist 10 years younger) and then gave up. Moved to a new city, picked a tiny house, bought sod! 5 months later…

I put on 60 and 80 with my girls and no GD. Just follow the instructions to the letter, and if you have a choice pick the lemon-lime flavor. It's gawdawful sweet but tastes kinda like Mexican Sprite. As long as you are eating reasonably well you will hopefully be okay.

I make sure the house is in great shape by Christmas Eve, get a niiice bottle of wine and mulled cider fixings. Treat myself to extravagant takeout and just get cozy with my dog. Comfort movies are important too. Legally Blonde, Knights of Badassdom, The Mexican, various musicals. Tears are okay, especially after a…

I was divorced shortly after my 21st birthday. I am getting married for the second time a week before my 37th birthday in May. It’s very scary. But this time, it feels like running towards something instead of away. And I was single for 8 years before I met this one. I had my life, and my pets, and then bam.

Those old cribs are awful. I used one like that for two months and then got this one. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/…

Loose/lose. Omg. Ahhhhhhhh.

I know you didn’t ask, but I really like the Advice Smackdown column on alphamom. Lots of different sleep advice and an openness to many methods. And congrats on the new nugget!

Your hair looks good. Don't fret.

Captions change but pictures don't on iPad.

Yeah that's bullshit. Kink communities are fucking notorious for harboring sketchy dangerous men because no one wants to taint the community by speaking out. Respectability politics is not just a race thing.
