We all know how slippery glass gets when it’s wet, too. So what happens when inevitably some water gets splashed up on that glass?

For that matter, how do they expect to keep that glass immaculately clean? It’s not going to have quite the same effect if there are visible shoe prints all over it? Is somebody going to…

My sister’s husband has done this more than once. Of course, he’s also racist and a homophobe, so this kind of thing’s par for the course.

Is NOT stuck, dammit.

Between this and the whole website for gay Mormons, the last few days just scream “desperate PR attempt to look like the culture is stuck in the 19th century.” Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on one’s perspective), it’s pretty transparent.

I got a goshawk. As a large structured person who likes forests, I’ll take it.

It is. He suffered a head injury as a kid.

Our cats do the same thing. Once you let them in, do your cats look at you with complete disgust and contempt? Or is that just my cats?

I swear it’s the same exact expression I’d use if I caught any of them humping the living room furniture.

Quit wearing makeup, you strumpet. You’re making my son get hyped up and you’re giving my daughter horrible ideas about a woman’s place!

I think I’d be enough of a smartass to get permission to wear an outfit the color of the green-screen. You want “less is more”? Fine. Here I am, as a disembodied head and some hands. How do you like THAT “less is more”, huh?!

It’s frustrating that nearly every single time somebody claims that they’ve got something inspired by a historic era, it never really is, it’s just another take on Victorian lines. It’s not like a little research would hurt anyone?

I understand. It’s strange for me, knowing the Bundy family. Not to say I’m shocked, but it’s always weird to see when their temper tantrums make the national news. Frankly, I think they ought to have been hauled in a long time ago. The whole batch is nuts.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, then. This is the permanent result of an accident about twenty years ago. His face is paralyzed on the one side.

It’s been awhile since I ran into him in person, so I can’t vouch for the level of limp he has now. I think he and his family are absolutely insane, but I will give him a…

Much as I really hate to admit it, I know the Bundy family. I can count that in among the other joys of my hometown and family’s livestock raising history.

You’re close. Ryan had an accident during his teenage years. I can’t remember if it was a car wreck or farm-vehicle accident, (I’m leaning towards the latter), but…

I’ve endured twenty years of passive-aggressive remarks about my weight and obviously how I lack self-control to have allowed myself to get to this size. Of course, my mother’s got eating disorder problems, so I keep that in mind.

The one thing that’s stuck with me most still has to be the Halloween that neither of my…

I’ll take one of each, thanks.

Mormons do have an amazing ability to nice you to death, if they really get an opportunity.

It depends on the ward, but you’d probably find that people would be less welcoming, mostly because they aren’t entirely sure what to do with anyone who doesn’t fit their cookie-cutter view of what “normal” is. It’s doubtful you’d get direct hostility, but you’d likely find that they’d hold back more affection and you…

As another exmormon, who’s seen a lot of these kinds of situations, I had the same thought. That is not going to go well.

A truly ugly aspect to this is the fact that the LDS church leadership has a tendency to tell people with “same sex attraction” that it’ll all be okay if they just marry a person of the opposite gender and have a family. This is what God wants, obviously, and this will magically fix things if they just follow through…

Shit, as the mother of an eight year old little girl, who happens to have friends of both genders and all sorts of cultural backgrounds, there are two ultimate go-to gifts for kids: Lego stuff and Nerf. We’ve yet to go wrong with either one.
