True Beanie Baby story: a friend’s child had quite the collection and they were arrayed neatly on special shelves around her room. A visitor innocently asked “where did you get the bat one?” WHAT BAT ONE?!?!? It was a real bat (and a big one) snugged side by side with pink and blue fuzzies on either side. Cue much…

Why would you let your child be this cruel and turn down this poor child’s party? WHY ARE PEOPLE BAGS OF DICKS!?

Okay, I’ll have what is, according to the comments, a wildly unpopular opinion here but I like the collection! I’d never heard of her before, but as someone who was goth for most of her life, I’m trying to experiment more with colors and prints, and I think I could rock some of these shift dresses. I live in Florida,…

If Gwyneth said this about Pear and Buddha (names changed to protect the innocent) I would absolutely pounce.

I’ll Debbie Downer this competition real fast.

I actually much prefer limp, still juicy bacon to crispy bacon.

I had a table once whisper loudly to their children, "if you don't go to college, you'll end up waiting tables like her..." while I was prebussing their table.

Worst place I ever got sick was camping in the Sierra Mountains with my family. After a week of camping, on our last night, I was struck with a really nasty stomach bug. We had spent the afternoon drinking margaritas, so when the first wave of nausea hit, I thought it was the tequila. But no. How I wish it had been…

I made one out of an old fishing rod, some yarn (100% alpaca, only the best for my feline) and a mouse toy. My cat loves it.

Also, consider adopting an older animal! I got a senior cat from a friend and she's the best pal I could ever ask for. Trained, calm, and just wants to be on your lap/against your side the entire time. I lucked out because she's really healthy *knock on wood* and still quite active/vocal/responsive, but having her has…

Dude, marry that wonderful man. AGAIN.

My wedding dress, which I had made, straight up did not fit. The woman who made it cut it about 2 sizes to small after the final fitting (I tend to remember her saying it needed to be taken in about an inch, then she scribbled down some notes and when the dress arrived it was suddenly tiny!). The zipper popped off as…

One time I spilled an entire thing of red pepper aioli down the front of a mostly-white (non-wedding) dress. I got home and since it was a dress I couldn't easily get out of by myself, tried to fix myself a vodka tonic to relax. I then spilled that whole thing down the front of my dress.

Thankfully this was *before* I got ready, but it was humiliating. I was a ball of nerves on my wedding day (aren't we all?) and had only coffee in my system during my hair appointment. One of my bridesmaids drove with me to my parents' house where I was getting ready, and I let one slip. Only it wasn't just a cute…

Not even terrible but (entire story NSFW)......Two days before my wedding, I got my period. My period is usually fairly well behaved- first day heavy, tapers off fairly quickly, lasts about 4 days total, move on with life. Not this time. We arrived in Vegas (Vegas wedding for the win) and had sex which made our hotel…

Are the "oops children" via her husband?

Am I living in an alternate universe from the rest of society? Peppermint and menthol-infused products dry and irritate my lips atrociously, and I actively avoid any lip balm that has it. Am I the only one?

At least she didn't have to make him 365 sandwiches...

My birthday is a few days before Christmas, and Barbie came out the year I was four. My father was sick that year and in and out of the hospital, and my mom was working nights in a restaurant to support us.
