I’m in a similar boat as you. I have fond memories of nuns, because my devoted Catholic grandmother was friends with many and, on top of that, my grandfather’s beloved sisters were sisters. I got lots of candy from them and those nuns doted on me.

Anyone remember the short lived X-Files spin-off of The Lone Gunmen? The first episode is about a government arms deal plot and false flag operation, kicked off by the plot of a plane hitting the world trade center.

Like absolutely everything else related to my wedding, someone else told me to show up somewhere nicely dressed, I did stuff that I had no clue about, and that is how I got engagement photos.

I know, but it was the most sense I could find.

This is what he answered to someone who commented about it:

Don’t read the comments on that “article”. Don’t. Just don’t.

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.)
