Now tagless for your comfort.

Can someone tell me why, when I went to buy lamps at Lowe's, did I NOT buy light bulbs at the same time? Because now I have lamps, but no bulbs to go in them.

*facepalms*

Why are they airbrushing "plus sized" models to be bigger rather than hiring bigger models? WTF? I'm clueless. The article did make me want to read the model's biography. I read a review of it in Bitch recently and it piqued my interest.

Our wings are not tired.

I also want to point out that a size 12 on a 5' tall person is much different than a 5'8" size 12. Size 12 can most definitely be considered fat, if, for example, you are 3 feet tall.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Because the actually larger model will work maybe once a year?

I am literally terrified of that FlyLady thing. Like, two minutes on the site and I started hyperventilating. Yet so many people I know have found it useful. It's so ... PURPLE. And relentless.

I'd say "can be" rather than "is."

At 5'3 (almost), a 12 on me (I MISS YOU, SIZE 12!) is rounding down into the slim range for my build. An 8-10 is slender. I'm a 34F/G, so I can't really get any smaller than than a 10/12 for dresses, and even when I was unhealthily slim, my hips were 38" around.

Has anyone here every used FLYlady? (http://www.flylady.net/) I have been and it has been working, but I was wondering if anyone knew of a similar (free) place that was maybe a little less focused on moms and really heteronormative stuff.

I like the Flylady concept, but I can't bear the e-mails; the assumption that you're a mom with a husband; the constant lols; the amount of God; or the general cheeriness. I haven't found anything equivalent for grumpy agnostic single people.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Plei is me in those sizes. At one time I was down to a 5-6 and looked seriously unwell.

That cherpumple has been posted before, I think. I remember stealing it and reposting.

My husband played an original song last night IN PUBLIC! I am terribly proud of him and so glad that so many of our friends came out in support. One dude we've only known a couple of months who happens to live across the street from the bar at the end of ours.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've done that! Both parts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG I want to stab my boss.
