People think THE CHAIR COMPANY is absurd but on day three of trying to find the right form to fill out for a tax matter, I'm thinking it's not absurd enough.

Same here, and he wasn't the only one. This is why it's so important for us as free-thinking adults to take the time to learn what we weren't force fed as teens and young adults.

Just got my annual mole check done and I’m all clear! Reminder to add a skin check with a dermatologist to your annual doctor visits, especially if you have sensitive skin (like me) and are prone to sunburns (like me). It takes less than 30 minutes and can save your life.

Saw an agent that made it a point to say how they wanted to represent clean literature, the kind you could share with your mother, and I think the only time I realized more quickly I was not the right fit was when I read the Hallmark Channel's call for pitches for their movies.

This reminded me of one of the most horrifying things I’ve ever seen: a model of a child’s skull before they’ve lost their baby teeth. The adult teeth are just chilling on top of the baby teeth in a second row and I’m seriously about to lose my appetite remembering it.
