This story uncovers two things everyone already knows: NOTHING can stop a Toyota truck and nurses are bad-ass and save lives. Still, it’s cool as hell.

Grosse Pointe Blank. It hit at exactly the right time for me, and it was such a potent mix of songs I knew and loved and songs from the radio that escaped my limited musical experience. It was a curated “that’s what I call the 80's!” list specifically for me, even if it included songs that weren’t strictly 80's.
I know they fall into the mainstream, but Blaze/MOD pizza are a godsend when I’m busy with visiting family. The vegetarian, the non-veggie eater, the one who likes to try exotic things, the plain cheese, and the one who loves spicy stuff (me) can all go get lunch for a reasonable price and everybody is happy and…
They’re not cheap everywhere. People are beginning to recognize their gloriousness, and their price at the meat counter is beginning to reflect that.
RIP Toys ‘R’ Us. May your little pieces of paper needed to buy video game live forever.
I’d actually disagree with the premise that the kids shouldn’t be able to tell your political leanings. Our student body generally leans pretty far to the right, but I’m up front with my progressive political views. If students wish to talk politics with me, my goal is to provide a model of civil discourse not easily…
As someone who has taught history for almost 20 years in 3 states, I can tell you she’s a horrible teacher sight unseen. Your kids should never be able to figure out for whom you voted. Your job is to teach them to think critically and present them with primary sources so that they can draw their own conclusions and…
I’m pretty sure NASA could just shut down all US portions of the ISS if that were the case. Even in the worst days of the Cold War, US and Soviet scientists would collaborate on projects. If the Russians tried to lock the other western countries out of the ISS, they would ruin their standing in the international…
I’m a parent, and I fully understand what this is talking about.
I live in the suburbs and all this shit is everywhere. Its almost inescapable.
Actually Tom, you hit the nail on the head with the manual transmission post - I will not buy an automatic car - so when I see manual, but an automatic shifter in the photos, I move on.
“Call for price” is an automatic no deal. I dont have the time/patience to deal with the kind of asshole who makes me call for such a simple thing as asking price. Same thing for listing the mileage as “1" or “0".
I got my mom the chef and a 4 piece steak knife set and then next time they were on sale I nabbed myself a chef knife too, along with the paring knife. Still need a slicing knife since the chef is a bit awkwardly sized for certain things. Great knives for the price, would have to jump to over $100 to get better with…

As a cost saving measure, the Catholic Church now uses a Sunday afternoon trip to Ikea as Pre-Cana classes.
We used a slightly different method and also successfully potty trained a child over the course of a weekend. Our method involved M & M’s, a potty party when he trained his favorite stuffed animal, and a potty party for him, complete with cake, when he threw away his own diapers. If anyone is curious let me know and…
As a teacher I’ve setup a google voice number that ties to my phone. It keeps a log of all texts and allows me to screen calls. Very handy and safe.
My friend taught middle school last year, and she had parents contacting her at ALL HOURS about their kids. Their kids couldn’t be bothered to turn in art work (she taught ART, for fuck sakes, no homework, no testing, just fucking draw something). But the parents sure could harange her about why their kid needed extra…
Another teacher seconding this. If you are considering installing this on your kid’s phone, please DO NOT use it during school hours! You can contact the main office if you need to reach your child ASAP.
