That’s actually a really good point. My original comment was rather hyperbolic (not unlike the student’s original comment that started this whole kerfuffle!). I can’t imagine actually dissuading my kid from any book that interested her, so I like Heywood’s suggestion of purchasing used copies if we get that far in the…

Jesus Christ. You’re pleasant.

Thank you! The flooring has muddy footprints all over it on account of fall, but we still like the wallpaper and love the very good boy in the photo.

sometimes some of us need stupid, pointless gossip to get away from the reality horror show that is currently going on. i know i do.  this is like a break.  let me have it please.

It’s watery and sad. Nothing below 2% for me.

Also too: Fuck Booker, Yang, Klobuchar, and of course Sanders (for helping give Rump the WH in 2016- the ‘Ralph Nader’ of his age).

When I found out that whole milk is 3% milk fat, I stopped buying 2% milk.

I tried that but I just can’t get into them. I don’t understand Americans’ love of half and half, to me it just tastes like condensed milk.

I love milk and always have. I will defend my snow white beverage of choice until the end! How can you make real hot cocoa without milk? What would my special spaghetti sauce be without that dash of cream at the end? And dammit, YOU EAT CEREAL WITH MILK. I don’t wanna hear from you weirdos who eat it dry or whatever.

Milk is delicious. I used to drink a lot more of it but in the last year or so my body decided it no longer digested milk in large quantities. I also love almond/cashew/macadamia and oat milks but they’re different, and for some things nothing replaces the taste and constancy of milk. A whole milk latte is impossible…

I’m an adult, I still drink milk, and I love it -- especially chocolate milk, but the regular stuff is great, too. Tom McKay can bite me.

“along with the proliferation of non-cow’s milk, most of which are quite good” Hmmm. Comparing the nut/plant juices to Milk (capital M because it’s the king) is like saying, “Do you have Coke?” “No, but we have water lemon juice with no sugar.” Sorry, there’s only one thing I like with my cookies, cakes, and brownies,…

Don't blame such a useful liquid because milk is too spicy for your baby tummy.

I guess I’m a sociopath then? (Not really, I show none of the signs of it, so eff off Tom.)

*raises hand*  I do.  Usually with Oreos.  Hell, sometimes I drink straight from the jug because I get a craving.

Sincerest apologies for the tone. It’s really frustrating how this race has been reported on. Especially for some of us in her district. It’s been a pretty bitter fight, and while from a policy perspective I agree with her in a lot of ways her execution and style really pisses me off.

Yes! Thank you for stanning 50 First Dates with me. Anytime he and Drew Barrymore get together it’s a treasure.

To be fair 50 First Dares is one of the all time greats. 

Seconded. I keep trying to be fair and balanced and “not all religious people” but I no longer give a shit. The harm done by religion outweighs the good, and good people would be good with or without God. Bad people likewise.

Oof. I’m not married but I do have two roommates and it’s been a pain. One of them complains that I don’t do enough, he just never sees me clean, but it’s not like he’s done much himself. He’ll take out the bathroom trash and kitchen trash sometimes, and that’s pretty much it. No mopping/sweeping the floors, or…
