I want to own and run a vintage boutique. I'd showcase local designers and hold cocktail party fundraisers, and hire people I trust and adore. I'd also like to be married and have one or two kids, and own a house in the historic district of town, but renovate the inside while keeping the old charm (I've been watching…

YES, all of this! Before I gave up and quit OKC I conducted an experiment. I spent a week not responding to guys who messaged me that I wasn't interested in, then a week responding to them with a copy/pasted "Thanks for the message, but I don't think we'd be a good match. Best of luck to you on here!" I had better…

Bruce has one (or two?) other sons who stay out of the spotlight. No idea what, if any kind of jobs they have though.

Getting hit on at work is the WORST. You have to be polite when you'd normally tell someone to fuck the fuck off. I was selling a guy a pair of shoes one time, and he was trying to flirt with me and I kept nicely deflecting and turning the conversation back to the sale. So when we made it to the register he asked if…

Thanks for your response! I've read that the recovery period really varies based on the type of surgery, and of course on the person so it's hard to get much solid info.

Ugh, there is a special place in hell for those people! We had a bad snow/ice storm where I live last winter, and since the mall didn't close we were technically required to stay open. I couldn't get out of my parking lot, but one of my assistant managers was able to get a ride because her dad had to work, so she…

So this is probably a long shot, but has anyone had a pilonidal cyst and/or surgery for one? I had mine lanced and drained two weeks ago at the ER (I had two cysts but thankfully one incision was all that was needed) and they told me to follow up with a general practitioner. I'd already made an appointment with one…

Okay, my mom reminded me of two more awesomely weird stories.

I think this is the best one I've read so far. I literally had tears in my eyes from laughing by the time I got to the brown painted paper plates. What did the kids/teachers say about your outfit??

When I was four, I spent an entire day singing instead of talking. And would only respond to my parents if they sang as well. I'm pretty sure my dad gave up after a while, but my mom went along with it all day!

I don't think there's anything selfish about making that decision. When my grandpa was unconscious after complications from surgery, my family gathered to say goodbye to him at the hospital. My cousin gave me shit for not wanting to see him, but I was firm in my decision and have never regretted it, over 10 years…

I had to read this twice to figure out what she meant and daaaaamn girl.

I care more about Mark's free tote bag than the Amber Rose/Kardashian drama to be honest. What color is it? Does it have a picture of the haunted dungeon on it? Is it that flimsy material or a sturdier canvas that you can carry a laptop in? Inquiring minds need to know, Mark!

So true. Hell, I'm 26 and a friend recently tried to set me up with her 23 year old friend. All of his texts contain at least one "lol" and his grammar is atrocious. And he's really into video games. I don't think I could even have a full conversation with a 17 year old.

Oh my. I feel like this justifies my shameful crush on emo Freddy!

I just could not with the 3rd generation. It became a total hate watch for me once that guy listened to the heavy metal record that made him go deaf and then watching the girl he had a crush on perform ballet cured him... Or something?

Maybe you could talk to him one on one now, and if you don't get through to him try again with the mister backing you up when he gets back? That's such a tricky situation, to tell a friend you respect them but think they're acting batty.

Aw, that's actually really sweet!

I can't even wrap my mind around this. Do they just keep getting married and divorced instead of like dating and seeing how things go?

Um, wow. Sounds like he's 150% getting scammed. The psychic is most likely recycling pics of crystals and sending them to all of her "clients" with the same spiel. I'm not sure about trying to get her shady operation shut down, but I think you could help your friend get away from her before he wastes any more money. …
