The *ducks* made me laugh because I totally get it and have basically written the same thing when I’ve said something that seems to run counter to the majority Jezzies.

I so hear you about the intimacy. I tried to do the whole “I’ll just have sex” thing but it doesn’t work for me, at least when I’m feeling lonely. All it does is make me realize there’s a lot of bad sex out there and oh yeah, by the way, I’m still alone. I think when you’re single and raising kids alone it’s just…

This was so timely. It seems like it’s so rare for me to hear the perspectives of other fellow single women - the open, honest, vulnerable perspectives, warts and all. It’s refreshing because man, being single can be isolating and alienating, can’t it? I’ve been divorced for eons and raising 3 kids on my own so I went…

OMG. In your armpit! Did it hurt just having an arm? I honestly dreaded having to move my leg or butt. A doctor could have said, “in order to relieve your discomfort we’re going to have to cut off your leg at the very top” I would have said, “o.k., let’s go!” So much pain. But you’re totally right - the relief after…

I have no words for what came out. THE SMELL. And let’s talk about the amount of blood that came out after the unspeakable whatever that came out first. This happened about 13 years ago and I’ve lived in fear of it happening again ever since.

I don’t know why but this story is f’ing killing me! It reminds me of the time my college roommate and I decided it was time to clean the hair out of our shower drain since water was backing up. I used a salad fork and pulled up what looked like a 12 lb rat - no joke. She was behind me, saw it and puked all over the…

First, I’ve got a stomach ache reading this and all I can really say is that I’m so sorry to hear that you’re still in this situation. It sounds lame and cliche but I sincerely mean it, and I hope that you’ll finally find some peace soon. I was married to an absolute monster and, though I got away 12 years ago, he…

Boom - all pluses. Thanks!

I hear good things but always from graduates from around 2005-2009 but I don’t know any recent grads. I bet it’s still a great place (fingers crossed).

Total side bar: Did you go to Butler, by chance? My oldest just applied there and I know nothing about it other than that their mascot is adorable.

As soon as I got my divorce, my kids and I moved out and using money I borrowed from my dad I hired an au pair to move in with us. I was able to get one quickly because I was told there were many who “weren’t working out well in their present homes”. At first I was leery of hiring someone who wasn’t working out with…

That’s exactly why I keep watching - I’m afraid I’m going to miss something. And want to go to Iceland MORE now that I did before watching the episodes. I want to do a shot of whatever it is they drank. And also go to the penis museum.

I decided mid-way through this past season of OC that this one might be my last. Of course, I then continued to watch every single episode after that because I didn’t want to waste my initial time investment in it, but man was that boring. I’m SO TIRED OF VICKI’S SCHTICK. And yep, we get it, Tamra, you’re a born again…

I was there that night at this talk! He was FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC.

Preach. He’s a colossal dick who should have lost his job eons ago.

I hope you do! Good writing is dying a slow, painful death and it kind of warms my heart when I still see it alive and well somewhere.

I don’t have a dog in this fight, I’m just sneaking in here to tell you that you are a great writer.

I think this every time I see a parent (usually the mom) walking into my kids’ high school with a baby on his/her hip. I just cannot imagine doing it all over again - with or without help. I mean, even if I had 17 nannies at some point I would still have to go to some kindergarten pageant sing-a-long thing or actually…

Totally. This keeps the door open for when the guy is able to prove they’ve met before. When that happens, George can say “I never said I didn’t meet him before, I just said I don’t recall meeting him.” Which means he definitely met him.

It’s what I do now when the world is getting me down. That, and read the comments for the “Lady Bic” pen.
