Some posts are timeless.
You can stumble across the author’s words years later and still find the information relevant, still feel the emotion as raw as it was the day the words were typed out.
This is not one of those posts.
This is one of those posts where I make a few announcements that most of you ignore and then beg you to assist me with something. And a year from now when I revisit this post on accident searching for “stupid shit” in my archives, I will shake my head and wonder “why in the hell did anyone ever keep reading after that?”
WHO’S EXCITED TO KEEP READING?
I solve the world's problems (and suggest low carb lunch ideas)!
Before I ask for your help, I’d like to tell you how you can leave this site and read me some place else. Because - DUH! Makes total sense! I am doling out wisdom and advice over here for my fellow low carb dieters who need to pack a lunch.
Be prepared. It’s a brilliant piece of investigative journalism.
An Internet Radio Show About How Stupid You Are. Basically.
Tonight’s radio show - Clearly, You’re Retarded - will discuss voter requirements. Specifically: should people be required to pass some kind of test in order to vote?
If you’ve never listened to one of the radio shows, you are missing out. On what, I’m not sure. But something. Something for sure. Go here to listen live at 9pm EST Wednesday night or to download past shows.
And finally…
>>I NEED YOUR HELP!<<
(YES, AGAIN.)
(SHUT UP. JUST ANSWER A FEW QUESTIONS.)
PRETTY PLEASE?
Great. You might have noticed I have a new design on the blog. And as part of the design I have a “Highlighted Posts” page. Problem is, the posts that were highlighted were more pulled out of my ass than highlighted for any legitimate reason.
Could you please tell me:
- Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
- Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
- What post do you think was written well?
- And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
I am forever in your debt.
I mean, at least until the next time I need something from you.
Psst... thanks for stopping by! I hope I didn't traumatize you too badly on your first visit. Remember to subscribe to my RSS feed if you want updates from the site!

Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
I lurvvvvve the photo essay posts. The guacamole post comes to mind.
Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
Your political posts make me think, but the ones that really grab me are the ones that you post about your marriage and things Jared wishes you wouldn’t talk about.
What post do you think was written well?
Almost all of them. Especially the ones about your struggle with depression, marriage, the family stuff.
And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
I’m so sorry.
It’s the Lost Tampon story.
I can’t help it.

You’re pretty demanding lately.
1) Anything photo essay and having to do with food like guacamole
2) Usually the ones that are in depth with research… as opposed to those with depth if that makes any sense
3) There’s too many to list… but the one that stands out in my mind was the one about the next door neighbor who you walked home
4) “Miss Britt” = Vaginas… or more specifically things lost INSIDE the vagina
[Reply]
For the record… when I came here… Stephanie had not posted her comment yet. In fact the time stamp is the same.
Just sayin’
[Reply]
1. Photo essays
2. the depression series
3. most of them
4. Sorry. Vaginas.
[Reply]
Made Me Laugh? The one where you made eggplant. It was the deciding factor in adding you to my reader.
Made Me Think & Well Written: Matthew’s Mom is Dead. Amazingly insightful, beautifully written. You got a lifetime pass of respectability from me *that* day.
What comes to mind w/’Miss Britt’: I habg on your every word, hon. I think of all the stuff you’ve written since I started reading your blog.
[Reply]
habg=hang. Clearly, I’m retarded.
[Reply]
i read all of your posts…they all make me think, they all make me laugh, and i think they are all well written, i suck because i am NO help…ah well…and what comes to mind with “miss britt”…funny, quirky, cute, realistic
[Reply]
1. The Lost Tampon Story
2. At Least They Didn’t Call Him Faggot
3. Matthew’s Mom is Dead
4. Your never-ending “photos of buildings in NY” series of posts.
[Reply]
It’s only 6.30 in the morning and I haven’t turned my brain on quite yet but…
Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
A lot of them <– that helps narrow it down, right?
Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
Two of my favorites were “Matthew’s Mom Is Dead” (thanks SciFi Dad for remembering the title) and the one about your teacher. Those two stayed with me for days.
What post do you think was written well?
Really? All of them.
And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
The photo one where you dyed Jared’s hair. But ask me again at 7.30 and it’ll be something else. They’re all “you.”
[Reply]
Good topic for Clearly Your Retarded. I went on Blogthings the other day and they had a test/survey and it mostly asked questions that challenged my knowledge of current events, who is in power at the moment in government, and what I knew about the candidates. I passes with flying colors……my husband, not so much! Oops…. who is the informed voter in our family?
[Reply]
Oh how funny. I totally understand what you mean. I look back at my past posts and say “what the hell was I trying to say” or “why did I write that?” I will have to check out the show.
[Reply]
My favourite post was your Glass Houses one. I forwarded it all around my office in the hopes of enlightening my co-workers. I also enjoy all of your introspective posts.

3. Which posts were written well?
All of your posts are written well, with a few exceptions.
4. When I think of Miss Britt, what post comes to mind first?
Losing your tampon
[Reply]
Hey, where’d the smileys go?
[Reply]
I’m just going to put the one post that got me hooked on you. The Glamorous Life of a Rock Star Blogger. I loved it because of the perspective it offers on blogging.
Also? V is for Vagina? Another great one.
[Reply]
Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
–I love love love your photo essays, and anytime you use your sense of sarcasm, etc which us 99% of the time. And, all of your videos. You’re just so damn comical.
Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
–I like the ones that you talk about your marriage, depression struggles, moving to Florida, your family… everything that makes you just like so many of us that are afraid to talk about it. I think you help several realize that it’s not something that we just keep tucked away… need to let it out and express it, such as life. Something isn’t going to get better, unless it’s brought up!
What post do you think was written well?
–Hmmm… I’d say all of them. You have a way of writing about something, and once we get to the end, it all makes sense…
And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
–Any of your marriage, depression, photo essays, etc.
You’re just awesome, that’s all…!

1. Tampons.
2. Tampons.
3. Tampons.
4. Tampons.
I’m being a smartass for all but one of those.
[Reply]
1. Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh? I loved your posts with your brother, and doing Jared’s hair, and guacamole etc etc
2. Which of my posts or video entries made you think? Any of them about voting. Also your situation with the mommy group too.
3. What post do you think was written well? Good Lord- all of them. You’re a great writer Britt!
4. And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
My first inclination is to go with your vag post, but lately? Posts about voting and citizenship. Or maybe your hilarious photo essays.
[Reply]
I think the first post I saw was of you doing a video of a cheer, which was sort of uplifting and fun.
The second post I recall was a RAINN post, which affected me in entirely the opposite manner.
(There may have been 10,000 posts between those two which is not to say they were uninteresting — I just wasn’t a regular reader at that time.)
[Reply]
1. Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
-Guacamole and Jared’s bonnet come to mind, instantly. Your sex toy post is a new favorite, of course, too.
2. Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
-All of your political posts. You write very well and do your best to keep your bias out of it. You don’t slam people ::ahem:: (by that I mean me) for having totally opposite views. The posts about Parkersburg still make me tear up. (Til I think about your hot grannie shirt.)
3. What post do you think was written well?
-An Open Letter to Undecided Voters; the ones in which you speak about your marriage and depression
4. And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
-The ones where you take pictures of your latest pair of shoes. Hot shoes make me think of you. Does this make me weird? And anything in which you bash Adam (d’uh)
[Reply]
1. Any where you are razzing Avitable
2. The ones where you pour your heart out about your marriage.
3. Most all of them!
4. I can’t narrow it down to one…I’d have to say I always think about how transparent and real you are with your readers, and I really admire that.
[Reply]
i quit the damn bowling league and will actually be able to listen live tonight. yay for me being a quitter!!
fuck low carbs, although i will go check out what you have to say because it is you who is saying it. :)
now, on to the questions…
1. Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
i almost broke my laptop when i fell off the couch laughing at your cheerleader video. when you talk about sex i sorta can’t help giggling. all of your photo essays crack me open. then again, most of your videos do also.
2. Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
as much as i hate to admit it, your damn political ones. when you talk about the struggles your son has with being so damn intelligent. and really, any of your serious ones.
3. What post do you think was written well?
anything about your mom, your kids, your feelings for your husband, the posts about the tornado in parkersburg, the letter to your body, when you told us matthew’s mom is dead…damn, everything you write is written well, woman!
4. And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
i can’t pick one. you and this site encompass so many things…your wit and passion and honestly and sarcasm and openness and intelligence are all rolled up into everything you do. unfortunately it is impossible for me to answer this question the way you would like. although i will be honest and say your losing things in your vagina is definitely not what i think of. i choose to not think of that, actually!
[Reply]
1. Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
The one where you were a tool in your car at the stoplight killed me. But honestly, you are great when it comes to self deprecating posts, so I could pick a trillion here and link them - if I had the time!
2. Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
All of them. Too much? Okay- how about the ones that are political, or personal…
3. What post do you think was written well?
See the above answer…
4. And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
Honestly? The car one for me. The tampon one would be next. Sorry, tampon girl. :P
[Reply]
I don’t know if I could pick a favorite post. But from reading the above comments, I know some more posts I’m definitely going to look up in your archives!
And, darn it — I won’t be able to listen in or call to your show tonight because it’s our anniversary and we’re going out to eat. But I’ll look forward to hearing it via iTunes later on.
[Reply]
I thought your rape one was the best one you’ve ever written. It killed me.
I’m not sure when it was, I’d have to go back and find it but I bet you could find it quicker. ;)
[Reply]
Most of your posts are well written.
My favorites are the ones that let you shine through—-I love the Wii one, losing your tampon is a classic, I agree with Becky about the cheerleading one cause I almost peed my pants and your photo essay for the sexiest blogger calendar SLAYED me…there are too many for my poor cough rattled brain to gather just this second.
Brad and the puggies are already snoozing–I may or may not be close on their heels–If I am up I’ll listen.
[Reply]
1. Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh?
A lot of your posts made my laugh…hard to narrow down.
2. Which of my posts or video entries made you think?
Your depression and marriage ones make me think, but the two that stand out are
‘It seems the problem in my marriage is me’
‘Depression - 6 months later’
3. What post do you think was written well?
Your posts are really well written…they always seem to put me in the moment, but again the one that really stands (and is by far my favourite) is
‘What a Wii and two kids and a very, very long post taught me about life’
4. And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first?
Probably the photo essays…I love them.
[Reply]
By far my favorite post:
http://miss-britt.com/2008/07/depression-6-months-later/
Why? Because you had the words to say and the guts to say what I have felt and because you chose to be so authentic with your readers. And because I have been there, and am still sometimes there. Thank you for sharing your soul with your readers.
[Reply]
The cheerleading one also made me laugh the most. Hilarious.
I agree that your posts about depression, politics and marriage are thought-provoking. We can all relate, you know?
You are an excellent writer so I couldn’t just single out one that was well written although you have written a couple of posts about faith and religion that have really impressed me.
When I think of you I think of the first post I ever commented on about The Watchers and domestic violence. I will never forget it. You have helped me more than you know.
[Reply]
Which of my posts or video entries made you laugh? - I will never, for as long as I live, forget about the “Stuck Tampon” and your “Big Fat Fatty McFatty Vagina”.
Which of my posts or video entries made you think? - Recently? Healthcare.
What post do you think was written well? - Come on now Britt, which ones AREN’T written well? But okay, the ones when your daughter was gone come to mind first, cause you had me crying, too. I can’t remember which one though.
And finally, when you think about “Miss Britt”, what post comes to mind first? - Again, McFatty Vagina.
Okay, sorry. But really, that was one of the funniest posts I have ever read in my life.
