Yeah, that's the feeling I get too and it makes me really sad.

No, no, not at all. I get that these things exist (and have) individually, but I was speaking in terms of large cultural impact. I am very much anti the idea of morality instilled by fear (of god's wrath, hell, etc.) I was just saying I think as religion has declined in terms of cultural influence, it doesn't seem…

Not sure if you read my post closely or if it was just confusingly worded. (It could be either! I'm at work and typing this between documents!) Anyway, I'm glad religion is dying out because organized religion is outdated and hasn't evolved enough to be relevant. I'm just saying there are some things from religion…

Oh I mean in the greed/possessions sense. :)

Possibly unpopular opinion alert! Okay, I am more than fine with religion going the way of the dodo, but I sincerely do hope we haven't replaced it with with nothing or, even worse, materialism. I'm not an organized religion person myself, but I think there is something worth keeping/transforming from the concept of…

A man in his 40's hit on my husband's baby sister who is 17 years old. It happened in the grocery store where she works. Her reply was: "...I'm 17." His disgusting response was, "I won't tell if you won't." I am glad my husband and I live across the country from her because I'm pretty sure he would have been…

That Lucy sounds like a real pain in the ass, so I'm not sure why I'm offering insight to help her, but if it helps any non Lucy people, that'd be great. Anyway, I know this from personal experience/heartache - if you can't stand any of your significant other's friends, that is a huge red flag. I married young and…

Aw, thanks for sharing that. I really hate that being misanthropic has become the societal norm (or at least in terms of internet comments.) Everyone traveling during the holidays is just trying to get through the crowds, expense and bad weather as unscathed as possible. Seems like a 'we're all in this together'…

Hey, Chatty Cathy's can be nice sometimes, when things go horribly wrong! There was one terrible flight where we had horrendous turbulence for hours (the kind where the plane makes worrying sounds and some overhead bins pop open and you're picturing what your funeral would be like and who would come), and I was never…

You're not alone! I've never experienced it either, other than crying infants when the cabin pressure changes (but that's honestly not something anyone can control and it doesn't bother me.) I've flown tons, international and domestic and have never had a problem with any kids! Last time I flew I was seated between…

Holy cow, thank you! I am making this tomorrow!

Disgusting! Also... give a person "thyroid eyes???"

Well, that's not our entire chore list, just a few examples. But since you're interested, FYI, I actually do have to sweep/swiffer our entire hardwood floor apartment daily, because we have three animals (two long haired cats and a dog) and if I don't, it's a fur gone wild situation. I also mop the kitchen floor…

I seriously cannot believe we are having this conversation in 2013. Every time I read one of these articles I a.) find myself eternally grateful for my neat freak husband, who does the dishes way more than I do and was chopping up veggies for a crockpot dinner as I left for work this morning and then b.) feel sad and…

Oh, thank god I'm not the only one! I thought I was a weirdo because my husband will eat cereal for breakfast (special K or any other healthy type cereal) and be fine until lunch and I'm like FEED ME!!! after 20 minutes. I reserve cereal for like, a dessert treat or something, otherwise it is absolutely pointless.

Hi, I would like to be your best friend.

You know how on Friends they had that list of like, five celebrities they were allowed to sleep with? Mine would just be Jason Momoa's name written five times. Siiiiiiigh.

Jesus christ, she sounds like my grandfather, who had paranoid schizophrenia. Get this woman to a doctor, asap! I really hope this doesn't get the let's make fun of a weird/stupid celebrity treatment, she's obviously mentally ill. :(

Wow, thanks for sharing that! I live in LA too and my husband and I are really interested in adopting through the foster system at some point and I'd been kind of scared away because I heard the wait is insane (like 3-5 years) or that you'd have to take an older (10+) kid with at least some kind of medical issue. …

That is something I never knew I needed until right now.
