Commenting again to say - I just shared this story with my mom, who is not on Jez but is a big fan of me reading her my fave Pissing Contest entries every week, and it made her cry and me tear up all over again. Seriously, such a lovely story, and thank you for sharing.

All of these posts are really prompting me to write out a will, or at least a list of funeral directions. My mom has a folder dedicated to hers, including hymns and bible verses she wants in her service, but I want mine to include an after funeral party with an open bar and karaoke of my favorite songs. I'd much…

I’m so sorry for your loss, and for you not getting to see him and have that closure. It’s such a personal thing - like I replied to tealstar it was important for my mom to see my dad’s body, but I wanted my last memory of him to be when he was joking around with me the last time I saw him alive. It's hard when…

Thanks for understanding that reasoning, I just wanted to clarify why family members might want to see the body.

What the ever loving fuck. I really hope your co-worker’s daughter was able to get away from her family Asap and live a well-adjusted life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. That is such a great story, and a lovely memory from what I'm sure was a hard time.

I’ve never been to an actual funeral with an open casket, just viewings and visitations at funeral homes. I’ve only seen one body, my grandma’s, and that was more than enough for me. But when my dad died, my mom really wanted to see his body, because the last time she’d seen him was when she’d found him dead. She…

Wooow. I need to tell this story to my friend who waited outside my dad’s funeral to see me after, because she had come straight from work (at a vet clinic) and didn't want to come in wearing her (blood-free) scrubs.

I don't have a Twitter but I'd make one to follow tweets like this.

If loving comfy Target flats are wrong, I don’t wanna be right.

It’s okay to be jealous! Lol. Your morning routine sounds cute as well, but my 24 year old ex who spent almost a year living with me and my pup still texts me about how much he misses his westie wake ups. I've had a really hard last year and a half or so, but starting my mornings with so much love and cuteness really…

May I ask what you do with your clients, like is it counseling or something? I'd love to get my dog into some kind of hospital program when he's older and calmer.

I think my response to you got kinja’d, but I know what you mean, and I was being overly sensitive. I’m sure she/her fans/her PR team/whoever came up with “The Lovatics” without considering it being similar to anorexics or bulimics or even addicts. Just why not like “The DemiLoves” or something. I don't know, I don't…

Now I really hope they do have a Worst Funeral pissing contest so that you can tell the whole story and win hands down.

I always prefer red wine but I ended up with a bottle of cheap Chardonnay tonight. :( I will probably save the bottle and use it to smack the next person who asks me “But why aren’t you at least trying to date?!”

Rolling over for belly rubs is their ultimate sign of submission and trust! I’m hoping when my dog gets older and maybe settles a bit (he’s only 5 now) that he’ll stop the jumping and be more chill.

That’s a good point. My friend (we were doing a FWB thing at the time) told me he took the necklace with the ashes off before he went out to bars or shows, because he didn’t want to risk losing it, and if he hooked up with someone he didn’t want to have to explain why he was removing it and kill the mood, which was…

I just posted a comment about this, and I'm sure I'll get flamed/never leave the greys for my opinion, but why does it matter in a situation like this if she's referring to her whole crotch area as her vagina? If someone flicked me over my jeans right now, I may not be able to quickly identify if it was my labia or…

Come on guys, can’t we just agree to accept that vagina is now the colloquial term for female genitalia? This Demi fan obviously didn’t mean she was flicked inside of her vaginal canal, she just meant in her crotch area (assuming any of this is true of course). If someone randomly “flicked” my crotch through my jeans,…
