You know my mother?! Jk, I realize there are plenty of people who fit that description. Initially, I thought my mom was just concerned with what she ate and being healthy. I have since realized she has major body dismorphia and orthorexia/borderline anorexia. It's sad but when someone doesn't want to acknowledge that…

At it’s extreme, this type of obsession with “clean eating” is called orthorexia. It’s a recognised disorder. When people get so involved in a certain type of restrictive diet, such as paleo, it can be really harmful. But often it’s not picked up, and people who are obsessive are celebrated as super-healthy role…

Not only that, but one of the parties seems distinctly evil nowadays. It would not be the word “Republican,” that scared me so much as the idea that my kid would be committing to a relationship with someone who is (or at least votes for leaders who are) racist, xenophobic, misogynist, homo and transphobic, interested…

“No. Do you make crackers Brian?”

I was 19 and just found out that I was pregnant, this was my very first holiday away from home and it was also the first time I met my husband’s extended family. My husband was in Germany about to deploy to Iraq, so I stayed in the states and lived with his mom. I didn’t have a good relationship with my mom so this…

This story only starts out like a horror story. It was horrible for me at the time. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our first Thanksgiving together. It was also just a couple years since my Mom died, a loss which had blasted a huge hole in our family. We scattered after that and had Thanksgivings either alone or…

This is a sad, not funny story, but Thanksgiving is always a little bittersweet for me because it was the holiday I realized my first marriage was over.

One time my college-age brother, who is bipolar but refuses to be medicated, felt that Thanksgiving was an appropriate time to hold himself hostage with a gun to his head in the back yard, demanding that our dad give him money (more than he already was) to buy drugs. So then the cops came and he was forcibly strapped…

While I was growing up my parents had quite a bit of money. An estate on the Main Line, house in the Hampton’s, blah..blah..blah. After many bad investments and years of reckless spending, the inheritance was gone, as was most art work and jewelry. My parents put the house they had lived in for 20 years on the market…

not to mention celery, which is one of the world’s worst vegetables

They are so so stupid in that city’s leadership. As if the guy who got this story to go national would be turned down and just...go away quietly! Lol. They deserve all the hell they get over the next...year or so thanks to this guy and those witnesses who were not afraid to tell their stories to him, after being…

If you like it that’s fine, but for me it’s like they’re trying to mix two things together that don’t work. The great thing about opinions is that we don’t have to have the same one.

Sorry but I just can’t get behind this version. This song just doesn’t seem to get across the feelings of sadness and regret with these instruments like the original. It almost feels like the instruments are trying to overtake Adele’s voice which they just can’t and shouldn’t be trying to do.

OK, guess I should have saved my Adele clip for THIS article (unless Stassa, you wanna make a post all you own)

So my hot-take on this: this is the beginning of the end for Trump as a GOP nominee, he continues to slip in the polls, Carson over takes him. Whether Carson ultimately get the nomination is besides the point, the point is, Trump gets unseated in this race. HOWEVER, rather than give up, in true Trump fashion, he…

My mom is a nurse. She ended up working in geriatrics because she absolutely loves it and just feels called to it. Not a lot of people want to work with the elderly, but my mom kicks ass at it. She loves her patients and treats them with kindness, dignity, and humor. She cries when they die and she has attended more…

I am a female physician. I did my residency in the 1990s and I remember the nurses as a godsend. We had to run the ER as residents when we were one year out of medical school. It was a busy urban ER and drug overdoses and end stage HIV (it was during the height of the epidemic and there was no great treatment) as well…
