Callie, it's called "frito pie".

It's worth a try! Good idea!

Depends on how many functioning, available uterii there were around. There comes a time when the land isn't worth much if you can't work it, so you need to make more little farmers!

I definitely agree that forced marriage and abuse within marriage does not require polygamy, and sadly it still occurs today! It is much more simple from a judicial standpoint to address two litigants than participants in a plural marriage.

Off topic a little bit, but does anyone have an opinion on where she got her ink done? I need to cover up a million scars and it sounds like hers are both unusual and attractive.

I know it has been said many times before, but I can't understand why old white Republican men think and talk so much about anal sex. I mean... a lot a lot.

I can't believe everyone is missing the bright side in all this: no more shots in the mouth/face/etc. because "SPERM HAS AIDS IN IT!"

I felt weird about this concept, too: like, really? Wild animals and snake charming was the best idea you had for her? Why not dress her up in a turban while you're at it? Was an elephant not available for her to ride?*

Polygamy isn't just "icky," it creates real problems for property and child custody laws. That's the property law side- on the criminal law side, there is a documented history of young women being bullied or otherwise manipulated into and within polygamous families that bears scrutiny.

I know it's about property, so "grr patriarchy," but there's something kind of sexy about "holding" in the sense of "protecting from invasion". Like, you may "have" the castle, but can you "hold" it?

I could live very happily on a burrito-based diet. :)

I agree with you to a point- that's why I was advising the OP not to try and change his behavior based on his pre-conceived notions of what a "feminist" versus "average" girl (a silly dichotomy to begin with, of course) would think or feel. Everyone has different buttons they don't want pushed, different lines they…

Thanks so much! I am doing one of those cooking classes today where you make tons of food all at once for the freezer- unfortunately, I signed up before I started thinking of going veg, so I just bought more meat than I've ever even seen.

What a beautiful tribute. I am sorry for your loss.

Binge-watching Chuck over here after the younglings are asleep.

This is a great day for me, actually. I can now call my older brothers and tell them I have objective evidence of a little kid being spoiled worse than I was.

Well, it's true that very few people know the complicated ethno-racial history of the Virginia/Egypt/Sudan conflict. It's easy to boil everything down to race and a sense of entitlement to things that don't belong to you (like entire continents), but the centuries of prejudice Virginians have endured at the hands of…

If a girl doesn't like being bought drinks, for whatever reason, she will say: "no." Not complicated.

Maybe you shouldn't worry so much about "differentiation" and focus on treating every woman as though she were an individual with her own opinions and preferences that might or might not align with your expectations. It's really not all that complicated.

I need to re-read it before my oldest gets around to it- I remember thinking it was hilarious!
