Same here. My 25lb cat shocked the vet the first time we took him in, because he’s just stupid and muscular, not fat. I’m fairly certain that he’s part forest cat.

I’m having flashbacks to middle school now, except I am weeping the lack of Delia’s catalog in my hands right now.

I’m wondering that too. Or some kind of mental-altering drug, legal or illegal. Only one person in my family suffered from dementia, but she began to make bizzare statements and comparisons long before anyone knew anything was wrong. Of course, she wasn’t running for president, so the only thing that got mucked up was…

Mine wasn’t even exceptionally difficult and I hated it with a passion. The kidlet grew upwards instead of outwards, so while I only looked severely bloated (or just fat, I never looked pregnant until the last two weeks), kidlet was pressing up against my lungs. That was a great asthma season for me, pregnant and…

Baby shower for a friend, then simultaneously celebrating my wedding anniversary early, while writing a critique in German and coming up with my final paper theme, a statement of teaching philosophy, entering more words of a minor Malaysian language into my database that will be eventually worth 25% of my final grade,…

True story: I got skorts banned at my private elementary school. I was in third grade, and it looked like a navy skirt from any normal distance or activity (and it was just about knee length). But someone caught on that these were really shorts, probably at recess, and I was promptly sent to the principal’s office,…

As a kid with parents who were (and still are) waiting for End Times/Rapture, this stuff really bothers me. All my life, every little thing like this, was RAPTURE IS COMING! BE JESUSY! Every freaking year, maybe twice a year, this crap would send my parents into a lecture of how it was “seriously going to happen this…

I can actually buy this explanation. I guarentee that if I was married on Sept 11 and also stupid enough to invite my mother and/or let her plan something, this would happen.

Oh my gosh, I know that feeling. My primary is as awesome as doctors can get and I told him that he is never allowed to retire unless they find a way to clone him. He will call other doctors idiots without any hesitation if they’re acting like idiots.

My biggest problem, with all doctors not just gynos, is that dreaded “weight” thing. I’m around 15lbs overweight, but I’ve been steady at that weight, with exception to my pregnancy and one year with a medication that caused massive carb cravings (and I lost ALL of those pounds!). But almost every time I see a new…

This is one of those moments when I’m glad that I’m a shorty McShort short. Everyone in my family/friends/social groups is taller then me, except one friend and my grandma. Am I with a short guy? Heck if I know, practically everyone is taller then me!

I am so glad that I am not the only person on earth who shares this sentiment.

I attended a very fundie private Christian school from kindergarten through middle school.

Fucking douchebag is quite correct. Pissed me off that he was taking the class so he could travel Europe and that I, who have devoted myself to language studies, can’t do that. (Not kidding. He was taking the class ONLY because the school offered abroad stuff after taking it. He was/is a law student.)

You can send the hug to 8th grade me, she needed it more. Or both of us. I like hugs.

Not first day, but it was in the first few weeks of 8th grade.

I’m a college student right now, finishing my degree. I’m also in my early 30s. Since my degree program is small, most of my classes are made up of the same students, all whom know that I’m older then they are, married, and have a kidlet. I also tend to look young.

I found myself traveling at the wrong time to Cologne/Düsseldorf. Honestly, when I went, I didn’t have much in the way of expectations other than I would be dusting off my German. It was my first time traveling off the North American continent. It was my first international trip that wasn’t Canada. It was also my…

I have been recording as many episodes as I can on the Hallmark channel, because my husband admitted that he had never watched more than one Golden Girls episode in his life. I will rectify this sin of his.

This is where I get a love/hate relationship with watching Trump. On the one hand, the republican party seems to be imploding with how to deal with this. On the other hand, it seems like the other republican candidates are trying to out-crazy Trump in an effort to get attention. (I mean, a Canadian wall?) While it’s…
