You really think we get kids vaccinated for little ole diseases that just make kids sick for a week?

A-f'ing-men! If you cannot comfortably sit down with the armrests down without spilling over into your neighbors' seats, BUY A SECOND F'ING TICKET!!!!!!!!!

The bride looks amazing in the red dress but the groom looks awful! Wear a red cummerbund and bow tie if you must, but the overalls and elf cap are just WAAAAAAY too dorky!

He only gets the ring back if she is the one to break off the engagement and not as a result of something he did like cheating. Doesn't matter what day the proposal happened on. Now if it's a family heirloom then IMHO she ought to return the ring regardless of who broke off the engagement but she doesn't have to.

If the population being studied was senior citizens, I have to wonder if widows being happier than married women is primarily a factor of caregiving status. It is incredibly stressful to care for an ailing spouse, especially for diseases that cause a lot of physical suffering like cancer or that cause dementia like…

It's a Catholic school that charges $9k/yr per child in tuition. $200 for a non-Apple tablet is chump change compared to the annual tuition. Presumably the scholarship students will get an increase in their aid if necessary.

Call me a cynic, but I think VF backed down because the tabloids already scooped them on the whole adultery with a billionaire story. I don't believe for a second that it's all just vicious gossip with no kernel of truth to it.

One of my sorority sisters was on the varsity cheer team and then worked as either a Raider or Warrior girl while going to med school (she does sports medicine now). Yeah, she's cute & perky but she's also smart and really nice. Don't judge a book by its cover.

I've told my daughters they can do color guard but not cheer. Less risk of injury, more clothes. So far, my oldest has no interest and my little one isn't old enough yet.

Question: How do you allow some sleepovers but not others.

Given that alcohol has been linked to an increased risk of breast and colon cancers and cancer runs in my family, I think I'll stay with the "occasional drink in social situations" rather than drinking on a regular basis.

Not approving of other peoples' parenting styles

I don't allow my kids to attend sleepovers at non-relatives' homes. It's significantly easier to have a blanket "no sleepovers" rule then to get into it with my kids about why I'd be okay with them sleeping over certain homes but not others. Plus a lot of the families that I would be okay with hosting sleepovers have…

I agree with your general argument, but have to disagree with the claim that patriarchy is anti-woman. In the bad old days of patriarchy, women really WERE 2nd class citizens (as still happens in many patriarchal societies around the world). I'd like to get rid of the "double standard" not by lowering standards for…

As proud granddaughter, sister, and mom to redheaded males, I've never understood the animosity towards gingers. I didn't marry one, but that's mostly because I didn't encounter too many of them outside of my relatives while I was single. I was thrilled when my husband turned out to be a carrier (a surprise because…

I want lots of grandkids some day. One of my biggest fears in only having 3 kids is the risk that they might not want or be able to have kids of their own some day. My maternal grandparents had 4 kids but only 5 grandkids. Of those 5 grandkids (now in their 30's and 40's), my cousin has 1 and probably won't have any…

It's been my observation that large, religious families in general tend to have a greater number of daughters than sons (Mitt Romney and his 5 boys being an exception). However, the parents were conservative even before they had lots of daughters. So I have to wonder which direction the causality runs.

St. Nicholas of Smyrna was absolutely a real individual. Who was born in Turkey, so he probably looked Middle Eastern (which is white, but not Northern European like the stereotypical modern "Santa").

Maria Bello is my vote for hottest "out" lesbian celebrity.

I grew up in a predominantly Irish area, and definitely got way more attention as a blonde than my natural mousey brown color.
