I keep seeing adds for the Starbucks Plus coffee with 2x the caffeine and all I can think is “I would literally never leave the bathroom if I drank that!” #interstitialcystitis #chronicillness #spoonie

I don’t care what you believe, who you vote for or what you think about the nuances of immigration reform. These kids need to be with their parents. That's it. That's all there is. #KeepFamiliesTogether

Dad: “what’s agave?”
Me: “cactus juice”
*blank staring ensues*
Me: “it’s what they ferment to make tequila”
