Yes, the exclusion of any Florida Georgia Line, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan or Jason Aldean immediately made this list invalid as far as I’m concerned.

Yep. I know a guy who just turned 30 last fall. He’d gone to see a doctor about getting snipped a couple years earlier because he knew he didn’t want kids. The doctor asked him WHAT HIS MOTHER THOUGHT ABOUT NEVER GETTING GRANDKIDS FROM HIM. Purely anecdotal, yes, but apparently it does happen! He still hasn’t gotten a…

Yep. Most of my running friends who’ve been doing this a while have tried all kinds of different plans, but I (successfully) trained for my very first half marathon with Higdon in 2009 and I’ve been using his plans ever since. They’re the best mix of speed work, easy runs and long runs, and easily modifiable to fit…

I too have never been or ever plan on being pregnant, and reading stuff like this is both super interesting and completely horrifying to me. The physical effects are not the reason I don’t want kids, but damn if they aren’t on the list of crap I’m so thankful I’ll never have to deal with.

Not excusing Jock’s behavior in the slightest, but he thought Switzer was making a joke of his race, that she was no different than some asshat jumping in to “race” the leaders for a short distance. They were only at about mile 4 when he tried to rip off her bib and physically remove her from the race. It seems…

Same. We threw together a last-minute wedding, and making a registry was not on my to-do list. (We’d been living together for 2.5 years, the last year of that in a house we owned together. We did not need a bunch more stuff.) My mom, who is generally a very chill lady, demanded I put together at least a short registry…

I read that as meaning Linda is one of those people who thinks sex for a woman is just a “wifely duty” — like having dinner on the table every night by 6 — and female orgasms are instruments of the devil. Only explanation for why she’d suggest anyone would rather pay thousands of dollars to undergo painful treatments…

Same! I grew up in a rural area. In elementary school, there were way more girls than boys in our smart-kid extracurricular program, and then there were way more girls than boys in National Junior Honor Society in middle school and National Honor Society in high school. We tended to pick girls to be class officers…

Sixteen years is a great run, but it doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye. I’m so sorry :( And I’m sure you did the right thing for Roxy. She was as lucky to have you as it sounds like you were to have her.

I’m friends on FB with a woman who works in our local congressman’s office. She’s in D.C. today and posted a picture of the “great seats” she and her friend got for the inauguration. Then she also posted a picture of the absolute sea of empty white chairs behind them. I mean, this was a couple hours ago, but still. I…

I was interviewing for a job at a department store when I was in high school. The manager asked me to tell her a little about myself. All I could come up with was that I was a junior in high school. And then I completely blanked. I couldn’t remember one more goddamn fact about MYSELF.

A local brewery is hosting a Christmas tree bonfire that day (everyone brings their now-useless trees, they light ‘em up.) So I’ll be watching something just as blindingly orange, but far less infuriating. Oh, and there will be beer.

Drinking beer and eating pizza with a puppy on your lap sounds like you do, in fact, have life figured out! Happy almost 30th birthday!

I can’t imagine what that place is like in the summer! We were there just before Halloween. It snowed the night before we went, and we got there half an hour before it opened, and there were still a ton of people, in cars with license plates from all over the U.S. and Canada at this little brewery on a dirt road up a…

Agreed! My husband and I did a road trip through New England this past fall. It felt like we were stopping by breweries and sampling beers the entire time, and we barely scratched the surface. We did make it to Hill Farmstead in Vermont though, which was our main goal. Just wish we’d had oh, another three months or so…

Fuck, I LOVE Ballast Point. I’ve got it pretty good where I live (Dogfish Head is nearby, as well as several awesome smaller breweries inspired by its success) but California is like a goddamn beer Mecca.

It was the kerosene-based cocktails that finally clued me in. I’ve watched so many episodes of “Four Weddings,” the ones before that sounded like something I’d actually seen someone do.

I love my dog to pieces, but I find it weird too. I HATE when people refer to me as my dog’s “mommy.”

Yeah, I don’t get the Southwest hate either. Bags fly free, fares are reasonable and I’ve yet to be in a fatal plane crash, which is my No. 1 priority, so I keep flying with them.

During a late-night show stand-up performance, TJ Miller did one of the funniest bits I’ve ever seen (about getting a driver’s license photo with a weird face by going through the entire process at the DMV while holding that face, so they couldn’t say he was making a face.) He also reminds me of my cousin, who I like…
