What about deez nutz?

That I get anxious over logical things. Sometimes it is, but sometimes I can’t even tell you why I’m freaking out. I used to even lie, making up logical stories about why I was upset instead of trying to explain. It’s the worst feeling when someone tries to minimize your anxiety.

Please remember that weight is not a measure of fitness. I know skinny people who eat nothing but junk. I am overweight, and I eat extremely well. Everyone’s bodies are different, and it’s time we stop policing them as though it’s any of our business.

This is what I needed this morning. Feel good, treat your body well (no matter what it looks like), and don’t be so hard on yourself.

Clearly this is the way to deal with violence. With obscene, foul, inhumane violence.

I feel you on the gelatin thing. Becoming a vegetarian meant giving up my gummy snacks. The struggle… This was an enlightening article. So many Christian habits and traditions are common knowledge. It’s good to learn about and normalize different beliefs. People are scared of what they don’t know.

This is outstanding, and honestly brought me to tears. I am a fat girl, and I will likely always be one. My brilliant husband is an athlete, a marathon runner, and a vocal critic of fat people. I am not sure why I get a pass on his criticism, but he has never been critical of my body. It’s hard for me to listen to him express disgust or aversion to people that I think look just like me. I can’t shake the idea that he’ll wake up one day and hate the way I look. The only thing I can do is remind myself that my fat is a part of me, and as long as I feel good, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks.

You know what else is unattractive and unhealthy? Being a fucking douche on the internet. Maybe try to be a little less hateful, you might learn something.

Exactly. Why do we still give positive attention to men who have committed nasty, terrible crimes? Chris Brown, Woody Allen, and Terrence Howard come to mind immediately…

How about we have a separate bathroom for homophobic, transphobic folk, and the rest of us can share our space peacefully. I have not a single issue sharing a bathroom with men, women, undecided, trans*, or any other human being, as long as they respect my space and don’t tinkle on the seats. It’s about time that we start to ostracize the hateful and allow the common areas to be peaceful. I’m sick of hearing about how trans*, gay, minority, whatever members of our community need to compromise in order to make others more comfortable. We cis, straight, white people have had it pretty fucking good for a bit here. It’s our turn to share the space.

Green chile cheese fries at Two Fools Tavern in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Perfectly crispy, skinny fries smothered in super spicy green chile sauce and melty cheddar. But even bad chile cheese fries are still fabulous.

No Crazy Bitch Swift? I am disappoint.

I’m not done with winter, because its 60 degrees outside. Glorious sunshine!

Holy shit, you are awesome.

I have been trying to explain to my dear husband that Ross is terrible. This is just further proof.

Ted is just really awful and insufferable. He turned me away from the show a few years ago, even though I love the other characters. Robin deserved someone better than him.

They only really apply if you have kids. Dont worry, marriage doesn’t automatically turn you in to a boring zombie.

Not necessarily. I would not date or have sex with a much older man. Does that make me ageist?

More reasons not to have children…

Thank you! I loved my wedding day, mostly because we relaxed and had fun instead of overwhelming ourselves with crap to do.

This is exactly why I refused a bridal party. Our two best friends stood up for us, wore their best suits, and didn’t pay a dime. It was our day, our choice to make a party out of it. I hated every time I was a bridesmaid, and I wouldn’t wish it on any one else.

This is a much more common story than one thinks, and it upsets me that it’s only talked about when people end up dying. Most people I know, as well as myself, work 60-70 hour weeks and go 2-3 weeks without days off. Overwork is more common than anyone really acknowledges, and it becomes debilitating after awhile. Personally, I have been forced to work as many as 90 hours a week at times, and it drives you to the breaking point. Employers take advantage of The looming threat of being replaced to work us to the bone, then pay us just enough to stick around. It’s shameful.

This is my 4th retail holiday, first as management, and I have never dealt with any of this. Sales associates are always bitching on these articles about how much they have to work during holiday and how mean their managers are. Try 70+ hours a week, 35 days straight, and see if you’re a bundle of sunshine.

Chop up some pistachios and dried cherries, roll a log of goat cheese in it, devour with crackers. Best cheese snack ever.

The Peppermint Mocha is obviously superior to all of the fall specials, just saying…

Just learned that I am a straight man. Gotta tell the husband, he’ll be thrilled…

We drink at the Applebee’s down the road from our place. On a regular basis, people will bring in their kids in as late as 1 AM, and they will wreak havoc. This policy sounds fantastic.

Lawls! I don’t know any atheist guys like this, although I’ve spent enough time on r/atheism to they exist… I do love Bill Nye and Carl Sagan, though.

Nuclear weapons? Really? How come we never get Microsoft? :-/

I would add Alias to this list. Five seasons of truly epic twists, and you’re lost if you miss an episode. Way better than Lost, IMO…

Dane Cook? I thought you said they had to be working comics!

Seriously?! I’m sure you and your husband will definitely be adopting one of the millions of children without homes and families, right? And all women should totally be willing to risk their bodies and mental health just to give birth to even more unwanted babies, too!

Damn right, y’all! I have an epic crush on her, and she is everything I want to be…

Getting married in 11 days. I’m sick of wedding shit, too!

I had most of them, and I graduated in 2006. My sister, who graduated in 1998, had most of them, too. I suppose in some ways, they’re timeless.

Oh my god, guys. I’m getting married in two weeks, and Leslie Knope is my spirit animal. I bawled like a small child. No joke, no regrets.

one of the nicest, most awesome guys that I’ve ever met!

holy shit, all of these people should have their children taken away.

if you mistook him for Kyle Chandler, you should be ashamed, because Kyle Chandler is the most beautiful man alive. Just sayin’.

What a gorgeous pup! My inlaws have three sheepdogs, and their show dog is Swagger’s little sister. What a family!
