He's had a handful of okay moments, but he almost always sucks.

And I'm actually a bit sad for some of the other entrants. But, in winning the most-friends-on-social-media contest, Marie is very much satisfying Husqvarna's promotional aims--I kinda want one now, and I don't even sew. Plus, I imagine they're gonna send the "granny" a free one regardless.

Except it's not December 9th right now. It's December 4th and the bitch is in first. You're reaching for shit to complain about ITT

Damn, you're taking this shit seriously.

Fwiw I also voted for the old timey 2nd place entry. She put more more effort into it

12/5/2016 12:03:32 AM

Thanks guys - she's still first and the lead is growing.

Um, no but if it were me I'd throw out a "hey would you guys mind voting for this for me?" since 1) I'm not an asshole and 2) TWW doesn't owe me anything. Just throwing down a link with voting instructions is kinda dickish in my opinion.

this world fucking sucks

it is so unfair

12/6/2016 3:08:44 PM

^ passed up when your bros were choosing teams in basketball...again?

12/6/2016 4:34:35 PM

^ yeah, pretty much, because of my nationality

were I 'Merican or European, I would have been guaranteed a spot, even though I would be the exact same person

as I said, the world is really unfair

12/7/2016 3:02:56 AM

life's not fair

winners find a way to win no matter what

12/7/2016 11:11:04 AM

I will agree to that, but sometimes, you have official bureaucratic walls erected in your path. In such cases, you just gotta cross your arms and hope the other side does what they should.

12/7/2016 4:29:47 PM

are we still talking about basketball?

12/7/2016 6:04:00 PM

I thought he was talking about getting divorced...but now I think it's something else.

12/7/2016 6:35:56 PM

I am turning 32 this month. Fuck.

12/8/2016 3:03:10 PM

FUCK 2016. I mean 2016 can fall off a fucking cliff and I would not give a shit. It has been a shitty year and is not getting much better. I am going to burn the fucking calendar on New Year's Eve. 2017 will probably kick me in the nuts too so FUCK 2017 too.

Heading to a wedding in Dunn, NC this weekend and just found out it is supposed to be outside.

12/9/2016 1:57:38 PM

Who has an outdoor wedding in December???

12/9/2016 2:08:10 PM

We were outside for a kid's bday party yesterday afternoon. It was not too pleasant.

Does that mean she has to sew shit for us?

Just got back from two flights yesterday evening. Woke up today with a headache and a sore throat and I think I'm getting a cold.

I just barely got over bronchitis like last week.

Step it up, immune system. I'd like to feel alive again for a while.

12/17/2016 9:07:17 AM

my ex-wife says that I am terrible in bed

12/17/2016 9:12:44 AM

^^ I'm sorry, that sounds shitty

So....I just got attacked with a "let's have a baby" talk. My fiancee was all like "I can't wait 3 more years" (the amount of time I have left in school). I finally convinced him to hold off at least until we're married. I still kinda wanna at least have the appearance of being old fashioned....so anyway, that gives me a year and 7 months...I'm hoping he forgets and I'll just never talk about babies again...that means I'll probably have to pretend like I don't have a niece for a while...I dunno...it was just suddenly, out of no where...and like holy shit...it's really kinda scary thinking about having a kid.

12/19/2016 8:49:01 PM

^It is terrifying to think about. Like how your life will be completely different and you'll have to make sure you have money to feed the kid and you can't just leave it at home like a cat.



I won first class tickets to anyone in the US, Canada, or Mexico (excluding Hawaii) tonight at the company Christmas party. I'm pretty sure I'm going to go to Canada. Anyone have any suggestions? (Besides not to go in winter)

12/19/2016 8:53:54 PM

^Yeah...at this point I'd rather go back to being a stupid teenager and pretending like I don't know how babies are made and accidentally get knocked up...cause at this point, doing it on purpose seems terrifying

Like I can't even wash my hair on a regular basis...what makes me think I can take care of a fucking kid!

12/19/2016 9:01:30 PM

do not let someone talk you into parenthood, ask him why does he feel urgency?

12/19/2016 9:52:59 PM

Lol....I just think he has a touch of the baby fever.

And trust me, this IUD isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Last night I was chanting "my body my choice!" He knows what's up!

12/20/2016 12:16:50 PM

Coming from a terrified woman to mother, it's really not that bad. Kids don't eat that much (for now) and you wouldn't want to leave that cute little booger at home when you run out. You'll be all omg let's put a cute outfit on and explore the world! I'm all for people deciding whether they want kids or not but I also feel compelled to share my own story from time to time. You can be the most irresponsible, broke, dirty person on earth and if you worry about how you would take care of a little human you are ahead of the game and will most likely be fine. Just saying.

But for real, if you don't want kids, don't do it.

12/20/2016 3:49:44 PM

^ good words kiwi

^^ sawahash maybe you guys should have a calm, but thorough convo about what he expects and what you expect in terms of kiddos. good luck on that

12/20/2016 6:25:41 PM

Kiwi's post just made me want to have babies.

12/20/2016 6:27:43 PM

I'm a fan.

just be warned that I think she is referring to the adorable 0-2 y/o stage of life. After that, things tend to get a little more chaotic, sticky, and stressful.... unless your child is somehow an angel. My estimates based on my childcare/pre-K experience is that 1/100 children are sweet kids.

also, no alone time once they learn to walk. Can you tell I really don't want kids?! I just want to be the aunt.

But kiwi is right, if you are worried you will screw them up I promise you are doing better than half of the parents out there

^^good points

^also a good point

12/21/2016 6:33:42 PM

LOL YA, my son is 2. he's pretty stinking adorable and I keep waiting for the other foot to drop, but it hasn't, yet. Who knows, maybe I'll regret having children one day but so far I'm just depressed about the day that's to come when they no longer need me and leave the nest. How's that for fucked up?

12/22/2016 3:38:01 PM

well some people are natural mothers ^ sounds like the case for you

12/22/2016 3:44:59 PM

If you're gonna do it at all, then it's time. The first years are a sleepless blur anyway. Just get it over with instead of waiting for this perfect time that doesn't exist. We're all just getting older and tireder. Tireder should be a word.

12/22/2016 4:44:46 PM

^ha, truth. It was only the first year, but I remember being so tired I thought I could vomit. Do you know how tired you have to be to feel nauseous? I know I wouldn't have felt that shit at 20, I could have lasted weeks on 20 minutes of sleep. F that.

12/23/2016 9:14:24 PM

I bought myself a Razer Blade (gaming laptop) for Christmas. I love this thing. I haven't had a decent working computer in like 7 years

12/26/2016 6:34:10 PM

Well fuck, another one of my close high school/college friends died today. Unreal how many friends around my age, that were a big part of my life at one point or another, are gone. I think the count is at 7 in the last 3 years

12/26/2016 7:38:16 PM

12/27/2016 12:33:45 PM

ugggh I am having a really hard time not taking this job offer that is being teased in front of me. It is actually a decent job, with a 45 min commute, but still a solid job.... and a permanent one with benefits.


ugh, I just know i would hate myself if I took it. I keep thinking, maybe I should just look into it and if it looks like it would be problematic, then I would turn it down. At least I would know

FML this will be the only time in history where a job offer has me stressed
