A few years ago, when I was about 17, I was driving to the movie theater with a male friend. We were taking a back road through the woods which led up to one of the main roads that ran through town. The road we were on was heavily wooded and not very well-lit, and [...]
My narcissistic prego cousin has been badgering me for months to throw a shower for her. That in itself is already rude. When I finally agree to plan one for her she proceeds to tell me that she wants a baby shower in a similar fashion to my sweet sixteen MTV style party, complete with a [...]
My husband’s friend Orville was with a girlfriend named Romilda for three years. Whenever Husband and Orville would spend time together, I was stuck entertaining Romilda, who was insane. I say that fully knowing that it would insult insane people to group her in with their category, but she was truly bonkers. Once we were [...]

I had heard of the Halo Wedding months earlier on a geek blog and knew this was prime Ehell material. My deep disdain for theatrical wedding themes where the bride and groom become role-playing characters is longstanding and resolute. Marriage is a profound committment and should not be entered into lightly or frivolously. So, when [...]
By the end of my sister’s funeral, I was emotionally drained from giving her eulogy, providing a “strong shoulder” for my brother-in-law, young nephew and my parents, running interference for my brother-in-law and parents with the funeral home, and acting as a greeter for all guests who had arrived early for the service. By the time [...]
What squicks me out about this six station cheese fountain are the dubious food safety standards. Just how clean *is* that thing if all the pieces came from 84 Lumber and Pete’s Plumbing Store?
And there’s the gravy fountain which looks like it came straight out of the episode of “Dirty Jobs” [...]
