Rum ball ice cream? You could call that whatever you want, I'd eat it. "Hey Writingirl, what kind of ice cream is that?" "Raw Sewage, it's delish!"

Ack ack ack i am sitting here clenching my legs together after that story. Is this how men feel when they see a guy get hit in the crotch??

I love Terry Pratchett's "Hogfather" for talking about how much kids really do love things that are scary and violent. Maybe not all kids, but for a lot it is very true.

Had to look up my less-than-5k-pop hometown. The main conversations seem to be fear of gangs from the nearest major city (40 miles away) and a consensus on "Yup it is pop, not soda".

Oh man can you imagine if they weren't? Give birth and then do it again a month or two later?

Yeah, I think it's a cultural difference—Americans are so trained to regard any sort of regular drinking as potential alcoholism that it's hard for a lot to really understand "social drinking" anymore.

Argentinians call if golf sauce for some reason none of my Argentinian in-laws can explain. [en.wikipedia.org]

Our Chick Fil A has had these for the past few months. As the picture here shows, the tub style really aids in ketchupping your waffle fries.

My fiance wants me to go get my MLS already so he can hang at home freelancing and watching potential kids and I can go have my awesome career I have dreamed of. Isn't it great?

At least in America, we've got uncensored internet to find news when we want to.

I had a friend in college who lost his index finger up to the first joint due to being drunk and poking at his oscar. That's right, permanent mutilation by a fish in a tank.

And that's why, as a native of Cincinnati, I just watch baseball.

I don't smoke anymore, but as a smoker I started using lip stains and never looked back. They are so EASY to deal with.

Why are boyfriends so grumpy about nail polish anyway, this week's color is NOT the same as last week's!

Plus nail polish never really goes bad, it just needs a little thinning after a couple years. I don't splurge on the pricier polishes much but I definitely use lots of rationalizations when I do!

Yeah, I actually thought that was a totally reasonable statement. But then I think that should be part of sex ed too—educate kids on contraception and safe sex, but also discuss consequences of sex past "you will get a disease and die". I had perfectly safe sex as a teenager but probably wasn't quite ready for the…
