Im a guy who tries to see the good in everyone and tries not to judge... but I hate that woman with a passion. She flips all my switches.

Not a fan of Keanu Reeves, but there's one thing he said in 'Parenthood' that rings more true than any other line-reading on film: You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father.

Somehow these stories continue to surprise me. What the fuck is wrong with people? I live with moderate anxiety over the idea of something happening to my children by some external source. How do you, as the parent/step-parent, do it to them yourself? Child abusers should be flayed. Here's hoping this leads to…

I still hate Nancy Grace with the fire of one thousand suns.

I'm trying to figure out how it's possible for the ENTIRE team to be SO attractive. It's completely illogical. But I love it. (Alireza Jahan Baksh, Karim Ansarifard, and Masoud Shojaei.)

There was a similar story to this in British Columbia recently where some idiot dog walker left a bunch of dogs in the back of her truck while she went somewhere and they all died. Even she had the sense to throw the bodies in a ditch before making the very implausible claim that someone had stolen like 6 or 8 dogs…

Oh, cat lovers. You sad, sad cat lovers. It's time for you to admit that cats do not love you. They are not pretending to not love you; they truly do not love you. They can't. It's not in their nature. Your only appeal to them is as a source of food. Which is to say, as a creature that can give them food, or as a…

This is the OP, Ykcez. I will have to preface every response with this now, but I posted on my phone earlier and I don't have the burner key to access the same account on my computer. It's super hard responding to everyone on an iphone, so I had to create a quick burner to use my computer. Sorry for the confusion in…

I think you dodged a bullet. You said he needs a lot of validation, maybe he just wanted someone who had an easy to parse worldview he could glomp onto.

I've been married 14 years, and this is normal. You can't be psyched about each other all the time. Plus your pregnancies are pretty close together, if you don't mind my saying. It can be pretty exhausting to raise a toddler *without* being pregnant. When my son was little, I realized that I was jealous of my husband…

I think it might be pregnancy & toddler. Also, being a SAHM can be kind of draining when kids are young (I don't have kids, but have seen this with my aunts and cousins). Are there other adults you hang out with regularly? I think sometimes the working spouse can become like the link to the outside world for the…

I'm still off from work recovering from my accident, so I took a road trip around the country. 22 days and 5941 miles. I saw my Mom, 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 6 nieces, 2 nephews (10 of their kids) plus various cousins, in-laws, and bunch of friends I left behind in Jersey.

Norwegian Forest Kittehs approve:

I've had two Norwegians (one currently, one gone). They are amazing cats — I like to think of them as the feline version of wolves. And yet incredibly gentle (unless feral, as my first was). Tree cats, y'all! Snow cats in (very) early northern Europe, and mousers on Viking ships. Beautiful beasts. The breed…

Hey, it happens - I have two Norwegian Forest sisters that I got from the shelter, with papers and everything. Even got a discount because they were not-young (4 years old).

They are the most gentle, mellow and quiet cats I've ever known. They're not placid, though - one of them got me good this morning when I was…

The Body takes on an extra layer of pain after you lose your own mother.

Well, it is in my top 3- and moving up now that I'm doing a rewatch. I watched The Body a couple of days ago and had to pause it all the time to allow for my bawling. Quite possibly the best 45 mins or so of television ever shot.

Huh. All of this sounds familiar… almost as if abortion was illegal/inaccessible once, and innocent women died trying to acquire one, rather than skipping the abortion altogether. But that can't be right, can it? No way Louisiana lawmakers would purposely ignore historical evidence that this exact thing would happen,…
