After mentioning twice in the last two weeks that I recently got vomited on, it made me remember the last (and first) time I was vomited on, which was in fifth grade. I was standing in line behind this kid, I’ll call him Jeff — because that was his name — when he turned around, [...]

Initially, I snickered and then walked about three steps before I came to my senses, realizing that I MUST buy this shot glass/measuring spoon. Maybe this will make me want to cook more.

I’ve been really pissed off over the past few weeks watching various news reports on bills around the country that are affecting womens’ health and reproductive liberties.
