In high school, a girl I knew had sex with (raped by) a staff member — the relationship lasted a bit, I later learned. The school was only notified after she’d mentioned it to her therapist — who was legally obligated to report it, since she was only in her early or mid-teens when it started. Most of it was swept…

I love watches. I am fighting my brother for ownership of my grandfather’s gold watch. (I mean, we both want it, so we’re ignoring it for now.) Wear that gorgeous thing with pride!

Goodness, I wish I knew how to answer this. But the kind that doesn’t hide behind political or religious beliefs — the kind that reminds kids that all people are equal, and we’re all in this thing together. I don’t know how to teach that or how make that a reality. I’m very inarticulate tonight. I think objective…

Top level? Education. But I think we have to fix a whole mess of other things first.

Also, you’re not only kind and helpful to Internet strangers, but you’ve got a rocking username.

Almost seven years ago I adopted a one-year-old cat. Also my first non-childhood pet. I love her; she’s such a bitch. She never really liked to play...she amused herself with hairties, the plastic thugs around milk cartons, and sunlight on the wall. Oh, and bags of all kinds. The two things she liked that were…

Interesting! Thanks. For a couple of years I took Xanax, which helped a LOT (I know people say it’s addictive, but I never abused it and only took it a couple of times a week). I think one problem is that it’s been a couple of years since I last saw a doctor (a problem in itself) — in 2012 I was put in treatment/the…

She’s beautiful. Rest in peace, fair pup. And I'm so sorry for your loss.

I don’t post here often — and I certainly don’t offer my own threads — but, hey, what the hell?

And, like, “give no facts” makes no sense!

I will forever remember those stories. Sometimes I (jokingly) reference them in conversations with my friends, who have no idea what I'm talking about.

I’ll have raise my hand/fingers, but only when I catch the bartender’s eye.

I was just in Turkey and tasted the “traditional” (“tourist”?) ice cream made with, like, orchid nectar? Something with orchids. Would eat again.

So, around the time my boyfriend and I started dating he was diagnosed with a gluten allergy. He won’t die or anything (again, it’s not Celiac), but he develops pretty painful acne and just generally feels shitty. (So, I’ve seen him nibble on some particularly good bread or eat half a bun with his burger, but he…

I haven't had it recently (I've switched to alcohol almost entirely now), but this news saddens me! I will investigate.

Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Snapple, too!

The punchline was perfect.

I’ve never ordered in during snowstorms, but I’ve ordered in when the weather’s been terrible and tip around 50 percent.

Ewwww.

I once saw (can’t say watched — more like accidentally came across) a little boy maybe three or four peeing in the doorway of my local grocery store while the adult accompanying him just waited for him to finish.
