Yeah, I was taking some kind of sleep aid nearly every night the last two weeks (ambien or benadryl). Decided to go without it last night just to test myself and was up way past 3.30 a.m. then had some weird dream about being sexually abused on a cruise ship. Not a good time.

I saw something similar, it was something about those who drink Diet Soda may think that they're saving all these calories so they start eating other unhealthy foods. Maybe I could see some truth in that if you are a longtime regular Coke drinker, then switch to Diet Coke. But I'm sort of the opposite. I don't even…

I'm reasonably healthy (non smoker, work out 3 times a week, normal weight). But health nut, I am not. No one is taking away my Diet Coke. I have maybe the equivalent of 2 cans a day since I was 9 (not every day, but on average).

My stepfather was an alcoholic and I hated him on and off throughout my life, can't tell you how many times I wished my mom would divorce him. Unfortunately, I was too much of a people-pleaser to tell her this and a part of me knew it wasn't my place to say.

Off topic ish... but I'm still disappointed Will Smith turned down Django. I know actors don't "owe" it to anyone to live up to their potential and challenge themselves, but I keep waiting for Smith to break through and stop being so safe. Even if it's another romantic comedy, just something that's not "average guy in…

"My Mom's Puerto Rican. That's why I'm so lively and colorful."

I just think it's obnoxious that he focused on something superficial rather than my work.

After asking for some feedback from my work at a summer internship, an intern supervisor once told me to stop saying "like" because it would make me seem like a "more substantive person." Because I was only 22 at the time and so eager to please, it took me a while to realize he was being kind of an asshole. I try and…

Honestly, that's the way it should be and I commend him for having the sense to do that (and yes, I feel the same way about female teachers touching male students). It's "sad" in the same way that us having to lock our front doors is sad, but it's a precaution in this day and age.

When I was a kid and horrible relatives made racist jokes, I just wouldn't laugh or engage in the conversation. At times I was called out and asked "what's wrong," but I don't regret it.

Also, starch helps a lot. And just having patience.

Read the whole post, and I have the chills now. Just horrible.

I've researched the Diva Cup, and just can't. Do. It. I get that in reality it is not a lot of blood, but the thought of pouring the blood down my sink or whatever just grosses me out. Maybe if I had started out with it instead of pads. Or if someone gave me one for free and I wasn't currently on the NuvaRing.

I just want to say, I liked Cavit's one liter bottle of Pinot Grigio before anyone else did. You've probably never heard of it though.

Before cancelling my Sirius account, I updated my credit card info with an old expiration date, then cancelled the account entirely. I never got a false charge lol.

Yeah, it's a way of asking for cash without saying it outright. And, it's easier then getting cash or a check because the money goes straight to the recipient's paypal account—then bank account. There are nice little descriptions of what you are buying for the person (like $25-Breakfast in Cozumel!) or whatever.

I'm doing the honeymoon registry whether people are "offended" or not. Mostly because we aren't putting registry info on the invitation, so if someone asks about a registry who I think is offended by the idea of cash, I'll just tell them we're registered at Target and they can get a non-offensive cheese plate set or…

I wouldn't worry about it. If they are friends worth having, they won't care about the gift, and $1,000 is a lot to spend on travel for a vacation you didn't plan yourself!

I still don't see the problem with asking/receiving cash. I won't do it blatantly because I don't want to give an old relative the vapors or whatever happens to them when social niceties aren't observed, but for my more progressive/younger friends, I'm asking them to contribute to my Honeyfund account, which is a…

That's awful, glad you've isolated this pouting to a particular age group. I had to invite all my uncles on my stepfather's side who don't care about me in the slightest, and who probably aren't coming.
