I'm pretty sure when a hotel advertises themselves as "pet-friendly," seventeen cats is not what they had in mind.

I'm glad to hear that! I was feeling really sorry for some little girls, somewhere.

She was Felicity's friend. I told myself I picked her because she came closest to matching Kid #1's eye and hair color, but I think I just liked her clothes best.

Is that true about the parties? That is some next level shitty, right there, to kick kids out of a party because they don't have the "right" kind of fucking doll. Woah.

I sold a bunch of Elizabeth stuff in mint condition in 2012, and it wasn't exactly a gold mine. We might have made fifty bucks or so— but mostly we made a ton of room in my closet (since Kid #1 wisely never got into dolls, and they were for her).

But don't you know? Democrats are the racist ones!

Married white Georgia woman here, super liberal. It is really, really painful to realize many of my good friends, people who I love and have so much in common with, must have voted for David Perdue.

Same here in GA. As a Gen X-er, I feel stuck between conservative old farts and rich white assholes younger than me. At least one of those segments will be gone by the time my kids are voting- I just hope they don't take the country with them.

The video is appropriate, as tutus will surely be banned in the GOP's Grave New World.

So they should stop playing it after Thanksgiving. Problem: solved.

There is a big difference between a four-year-old sticking a Barbie doll in herself and a one year old putting rocks in her vagina. A one-year-old- even a precocious one- is capable of doing some things, but it takes some pretty fine motor skills to take pebbles and stick them in your vagina.

I think I could even learn to laugh if I picture a bunch of drunk programmers in radio booths alternating between "Sleigh Ride" and Johnny Mathis' "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Chrissssssmussss". Except, no. I hate them.

Maybe it's a drinking game for them.

And here's the both of us (hubs had to settle for the cheap costume since the one we planned to borrow was not-to-have-beer-spilt-upon-it).

So here's me as Claire...

I think I went when I was a kid with my mom to Macy's on Black Friday because it was going to open a whole hour early. But not as a grown-up.

I'd be happy to share, but I'm a little concerned about sharing too much personal info. Would you think it was rude if I cut our heads off in the photos?

I can definitely tell a difference in my attitude if I allow Christmas to seep past its natural borders— I get surly if I hear 24/7 Christmas radio before Thanksgiving ("Sleigh Ride" in particular makes me reach for sharp objects).

I'm with you, Kelly. We use the Thanksgiving break to mark the transition, and I will not be moved!

Yeah, I think Noah tipped us off that they are just selectively kidnapping people to "serve" them, and any stories about saving them from zombies are straight-up bullshit.
