Nanny Ogg. She's practically built an empire of relatives and rules them with an iron fist. She had a house dropped on her. She's short and fat and hot as hell.

I'm just handing out stars like Pez popping out of a dispenser. I love animal gifs!

Nothing (well, almost nothing) is better than bottle feeding a puppy. The first dog I ever rescued was a pit bull puppy that I hand raised from two weeks. She couldn't even hear when I got her. She was with me for twelve years.

Fist to my chest, "We who are about to fly salute you!"

a bunch of friends and i argued about cream cheese

Back to the Future. A sequel to Back to the Future would just be horrible.

You'd be surprised. My parents' house was the place people knew they could go if their own parents kicked them out. My mom was "everybody's mom" and the doors were never locked at our house. We regularly hosted at least one extra person in our house.

We'd all like to hope that everyone's parents would be good to…

Amen, sister. I'm another you (there sure are a lot of us on this thread, aren't there?). What is it with us - we're socialized to be The Good Girlfriend/Wife, but the guys are socialized to be just themselves? I know I was specifically taught to always put myself after everyone else. A lot of heartache went into…

And if that fails, you can then resort to a passive aggressive note: "To WHOEVER sexually assaulted me. If I had WANTED to have sex with you, I would have written YOUR name on my vagina. I'm not sure how you were confused about that, but IN THE FUTURE please do not have sex with."

We lock our bikes and label food in the fridge because we don't want them to be stolen.

PS:
I just wanted to attest: once you get over the initial weird feeling, nothing feels more supremely badass than dining alone at a good restaurant. Do take a book. Do order a fancy beverage. And do feel like royalty.

I am almost weeping reading this. Sometimes I am up to here with the "love yourself" rhetoric because Western culture is severely lacking in a dedication to community, but the advice in Polly's column is solid gold.

Yet, nothing is done about sexual assault, short of blaming the "attacker," a guy who was likely as drunk as his "victim." [...] If drunk women who have sex are able to claim "rape," why aren't drunk men alleviated of responsibility for the poor decisions they make?

Ah geez, there are some conversations I need to go track down and correct now. >.<

David Attenborough is my god. Literally, I have an alter to him in my lounge.

Rumor has it that the Governor was called away from the State Fair to pick the best pig in show at Ferguson. <rimshot>

They will devour your soul, then barf it back up on your couch because they ate it too fast. Is this only my cat??

I mean, it's obvious that this will going to hurt Russia WAY more than any of the other countries. Except maybe Poland. Russia imports apples from Poland. About 50% of our apples go to Russia. So yeah, the Polish apple industry is worried. HOWEVER, there has been a huge push for Polish people to buy more Polish…
