Good for you! A little bit of information can go a long way. I'm lucky in that even though my mom is very conservative, she's very practical as well. When I had a professor saying rape was because of how women dressed, it was my father that flipped out and told me to not go to the dean or anyone else and to just…

I coated cranberries in peanut butter and fed them to my dog. I don't know if it helped, but it got rid of my excess cranberries. Unfortunately, cats are much harder to feed anything they don't want.

I once went to a trashy lingerie party and can you believe it? - not one of the men there tried to rape me! And when two of them walked me home, they didn't rape me! I'm even under 30 and fit conventional ideals of attractiveness! The men in my life must be abnormal - or gay. That's the only explanation.

This made me laugh harder than anything else today. It's so wrong... but so funny.

But will she keep his last name?

I'm not prone to UTIs, but my dog is. It sucks. She'd need surgery to fix it so instead she gets frequent baths. I found out she was prone to them a week after I got my first (and only) UTI. We were both peeing blood. It was miserable. And the vet treated her better than my doctor treated me - seriously, what…

"The admonition, if crudely put, was practical, rather like advising someone walking through a dangerous neighborhood at night not to flash expensive jewelry or leave a wallet hanging out."

My main takeaway from this article was: it must really suck to be a judge in these cases. Can you imagine having to decide who gets custody when stuff like this is getting slung around? I'd cry myself to sleep every night, convinced I just made the wrong decision and the kid in question will now be traumatized for…

In the case of seizures, they're called 'auras' and can sometimes include a certain smell, taste, or other oddities in the senses right before an episode. They're very, very handy. I don't have a true seizure disorder, but I get auras of that sense of impending doom about one to two minutes before a fit, which gives…

Nothing scares me worse than the thought of seeing someone while in the shower. I'd probably have fainted on the spot if I'd seen that. Wow.

My mother worked in a psych ward as a nurse. I cannot get her to tell me any scary stories! I'm sure she's got good ones and she's holding out! So thank you for filling that hole in my life.

The last paragraph made me smile. I like your aunt.

I don't have very good ghost stories, sadly. I'll try to restrain my instinct to explain things with the power of science and try my best.

Maybe that's why I did so poorly on it then, as I wasn't taking it for anxiety or panic attacks. My xanax is as-needed and I need to get better at taking it... it really is nice in that it doesn't impair you so much.

I used to cut up those magazines to make my own paperdolls with their accessories. Kirsten was the doll I owned, but Felicity had the best stuff. Never read their books though. By the time I was old enough to be interested in fancy dolls I had moved way past kid's books. I was reading the Dragonlance series in…

I was a known female on World of Warcraft that frequented the forums for a while. It was pretty easy to be untrollable - just don't give a rat's ass. Point 3 of this article is spot-on. Respond to everyone but the troll and if addressed directly just tell them you don't care what they think. This is the internet. …

If only my cats could read this article. My roommate's dog chases them around. She's learning not to though. Last time I caught her I only had to say her name and she took off to hide on the bed with her owner. I've never had to touch that dog to train her - everything is verbal. I have no idea how it's working.

Klonapin instead of xanax? What the fuck? I was on klonapin for about three years and I would never take that med again long-term. I started having amnesia because of it and then I had to go through withdrawal to get off it. Xanax has been much easier to tolerate. Granted, it still doesn't work that well (nothing…

I don't think they're implying that single men are more likely to randomly smash car windshields in on a whim or the likes. I believe it's more that single men are more likely to act during times of unrest, as they do not have families to protect or worry about and can take to the streets in a riot, instead of…

Damn, you're easy to troll. No wonder you had to use the lowest common denominator appeal with your writing.
