I think all of these are great except for the crappy school district. Do you not worry at all about the quality of education your kid is getting?

Why do you think DCUM disapproves of this?

I do disapprove of the level of bragging on this thread. "You all hate me because I'm HAPPY, unlike you sad harpies." I mean, I didn't before....

For Christmas Eve & NYE we either go to a diner or to a chain restaurant like TGI Fridays.

(And no, not Ruth's Chris!)

How is this unapproved by DCUM? Bashing Burger King Lady and other ILs who don't feed their guests is a time honored tradition here.

I live in Potomac, but the modest part. I wear Lululemon dupes and buy nearly all my clothes off of Amazon or whatever can get here in two days and where I don't have to go into a mall to try it on. I don't care what colleges my kids end up going to. Neither plays travel sports. I don't have a jewelry vault or safe like my friends because it's all knock-offs or cheap. The only DCUM-esque part of me is that I drive a Tesla.

I run an Instagram account for my dog and it has almost 10k followers. Strange but I’ve met a lot of wonderful people that way.

(And I do have human kids too…just really love being a dog mom!)

I don’t live in DCUM land, but I do live in the SF Bay Area. I’m practically a pariah because of my addiction to cakesters amongst the healthy eaters. There was a naked homeless guy yelling outside the office the other day and I said that I bet he’d chill and be happy if I gave him some cakesters. Everyone was like, I can’t believe you’re joking about his plight or your addiction. True story-hand on the Bible level truth-he took a dump on the sidewalk 10 minutes later. I was like, “see? He had tummy troubles. Cakesters might have helped him go with less discomfort.” I said that because they’ve changed my digestive system. My tummy makes noises it didn’t before. I’m pretty sure we’re using more toilet paper in our house and I’m pretty sure the reason is me. And cakesters. And I’m pretty sure DCUM won’t approve of any of that lifestyle choice.

I’ve bought all of them at every Safeway, Target, and Walgreens (the only stores I’ve seen them in locally). I did a Target delivery order at work the other day and I was beside myself when I saw they had cakesters available. The shopper called to say they were out of stock and to see if I wanted them to substitute anything else. I said no thanks because regular Oreos are a different texture and he said he totally understood and lamented how hard it is to find cakesters. At first I was happy to find a kindred spirit, then I felt really irritated because he’s been eating my cakesters! I ordered all the ones I could find for under $7/box on Amazon. I’ve had to resort to having to order them from target online.

Otherwise I’m a healthy eater. Normal weight, no excesses. I eat at nice restaurants. I do hello fresh and eat salads and all that BS. Cakesters though. They’re like heroin.


I've never even heard of these! You learn something new every day on DCUM.

Based on some of vitriol I have read lately, being a SAHM and then still not working for pay once children reached a certain age.

However, some do give me a pass with having children with SN.

After a decade of trying, I've come to the conclusion I dislike everyone in this entire metropolitan area. I would think that the problem is me, except I don't have that problem anywhere else. I've maintained friendships from elementary school, from jobs I held thirty years ago... and I have friends in nearly every other metropolitan area. But something about this town, it's like the place where mean people come to hold winner take all death matches.

What part of my life is unapproved by you all? Who the hell cares? You all have no taste--one only has to look at your hideous echoing modern farmhouse mcmansions to get that, or spend fifteen minutes next to you on a "very important call" at the gym.

Reckless abandon. It was amazing, dangerous and would do it again in a heartbeat


How is it dangerous? Why did you pick the 20something?


No protection and he was hot and hung and firm.


This sounds like what every average college age female would do. Unless you are 45 and married, this is NBD.



I’m a 50 year old married woman in an open swinger marriage and this is decidedly unapproved by DCUM standards.

I can’t wait to do it again and hope to hook up in under an hour next time.
