That is a hilarious mental image!

Chocolate covered gummy bears....I am pregnant, and I suddenly want that so badly I could cry.

Our families should combine so it can be a non-stop complaining about the turkey bonanza.

I’m an American who married a Brit. The Brits do turkey for Christmas. I also insist on celebrating traditional Thanksgiving. Ergo, everyone winds up eating turkey multiple times between late November and late December. I start out the turkey season being very popular with my in laws, as who doesn’t love a large home…

Way to keep them on their toes :)

I was told all the damn time as a younger surprise hippopotamus that I “thought like a man” because I’m not emotional and I tend to think very rationally and logically. I totally bought it too.

I didn’t know who he was when I first moved to Britain, and my husband introduced me to “Father Ted,” which I adored. One day about a year into living here, his very distinctive voice came on the radio, and I was so excited that Father Noel was on the radio that I assumed it must be some kind of advert for a rebooted…

I went on a few dates with a guy who revealed on the third date that he had the faces of his mother and two aunts tattooed on his ribcage. Big, lifelike faces. And that, my friends, was the end of that! Wasn’t super into him anyway, but the thought of sleeping with him and having his mom and aunts looking at me was a…

Weren’t there rumours back in the day that the father of sixteen year old Jaime Lynn Spears baby was not her teenage boyfriend, but the adult producer or director or some such on her Nick show?

Yep, exactly. I’m an American who is married to a Brit, and we have settled in Britain. Immigration is an expensive, consuming, lengthy, and stressful process. And the one doing the immigrating often gives up a lot - for example, in addition to missing my family and friends, I make literally half of what I would be…

I believe he’s saying he’s a virgin by choice, as opposed to one who just hasn’t had the opportunity.

Yeah, I’m a bit worried about how people seem to be conflating the two. I formerly worked in an industry where virtually everyone was cheating or had cheated on their spouse at some point. Most people had at least two divorces under their belts. A few of the guys would sleep with literally anyone who was willing.

DC, for its many faults, is, in my humble opinion, better in terms of street harassment (and by that I mean, less of it). DC guys can also be their own very special breed of misogynistic asshole, but by and large, they do seem to do less shouting out of car windows and the like.

That seems really uncalled for on an article about a fallen soldier.

I’m an American, but I’ve lived and worked in the U.K. (and eventually married a Brit) for several years, and I’m curious to what you perceive the differences are. I can’t say I’ve known British men to be better as a whole than American guys. (I really am interested, no sarcasm or anything!)

Your original post was beautifully eloquent! It captured everything I think is best about a partnership.

I had to go fill up my car last night as I realised I didn’t have enough to do my 2-hour round trip into the city for work the next day. It was late, and dark, and cold, and I didn’t want to go. I’m also six weeks pregnant, so I was half-hoping my husband would offer to go, despite probably being more tired than me,…

At least they feel concerned! My dog knocks me over and looks at me as if to say, what are you doing on the floor, silly human? (Funnily enough, his strength was listed as one of the reasons his first family relinquished him to the shelter).

I didn’t mean it that way! All I meant was, if someone was potentially in the early stages of transition and didn’t feel safe entering a men’s restroom at that point - or needed a pad or a tampon out of the machine that is only in the ladies bathroom. I wasn’t saying they weren’t men, just acknowledging that transmen…

Why are there so many doodles in shelters?? They seem like the perfect dog....(other than my enormous rescue mutt, who is perfect in every way except for the barking...and the shedding....and the ongoing life mission to attempt to pick a fight with every cat and expensive cocker spaniel in my neighborhood!)
