agreed! it’s like mom and dad are fucking SHOWING UP

Sucks. As a Minnesotan my natural inclination is to swim in literally every lake I see. I don’t ever want to go to Florida.

I didn’t fuck with Delilah until I moved to NYC and now I fully associate her with late-night fruit and vegetable shopping and I’m so into it. Everyone should know the surreal pleasure of browsing battered tomatoes at 10pm under fluorescent lights while listening to Delilah talk about feelings.

Ugh— you probably also had to deal with the well-meaning strangers talking happily to you about your pregnancy.

My mom got very drunk one night while we were playing Cards Against Humanity, and she got the pull-out method card. She ended up winning that round, and she gestured to my twin brother and I as she announced to my younger cousins that we are proof that the pull-out method does not work. Which was not news to us. But…

I had a full-term stillbirth and I related to so very much of this. I can’t even fathom being in a position where making a choice and being forced to jump through a million hoops to see that choice through were part of the equation.

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

Back in the ‘80s <cough> we were told you’d get a buzz spraying cigarettes with hairspray. What we’re we thinking?!!!

HP related question: If you were a student at Hogwarts, which pet would you choose?

Yeah, my friend group ranges from grad students with lots of debt to bankers making around $150K. The only time we bust balls about not showing up is if you can’t make it for reasons that the group doesn’t find legitimate (which is pretty much all of them other than physically not being able to afford it). Busy at…

That was my experience as well. Back when I legitimately had basically no money one of my best friends had...expensive tastes. I was upfront about it and we basically made a deal; She was willing to slum it with me at dive bars, but she would also drag me to fancy stuff - and was willing to pay for whatever I couldn’t…

They named their kid Alaska? Sorry, but there is ONLY ONE ALASKA. Shame on THEM.

I used to see Richard Simmons on Letterman’s show in the 90's and at that time I think that Letterman brought him on because Simmons’ loud, up-beat, outgoing personality was a natural contrast to Letterman’s grumpy curmudgeon, and thus an easy way to get laughs. I remember one show where they did a taped bit about…

I had the joy of meeting Mr. Simmons in 2012. He was doing something at the offices I worked at and he stopped at each person’s desk and asked for a hug. He was intermittently laughing and crying. I don’t think anyone got any work done after he visited because we were all riding high off of it.

I am WAY MORE EXCITED about this than Bob Ross would want me to be. Picture it kids... Syracuse, NY 1988 or 87. It is the end of 8th grade, young BeeAtch just spent the last year being ostracized by her friends, because 8th grade girl reasons. I decide to go volunteer at a rehab (physical, not drug) facility for the…

I used to watch this in the 80s. I don’t remember anything about it and I’m not a wrestling fan, but I remember looking for GLOW whenever a TV Guide found its way into the house*.

STAHHHPPP!!!! I hope that shit ends up on hulu or netflix in my lifetime.

I LOVED ALL AMERICAN GIRL!!! ITS WHERE I FELL IN LOVE WITH MARGARET CHO!!!

You are not alone with the “All American Girl” love. I even bought the seasons on DVD. DVD!

Pitch: A reality show with Kim Fields and Erika Alexander but (twist!) they can’t ever break character as Regine and Maxine.
