This write up is incredibly biased. If anyone bothered to read the full article, the parents were supplied with notification of the curriculum, including this shaving information, well in advance. If this child's parents had seen fit to look over that, they would have been fully aware of the upcoming instruction and…

I am also a goat cheese fiend. But I ended up making a big Greek salad (with goat cheese of course) instead. It was way too darn hot in the house for a big bowl of hot pasta.

Ooof, that's rough. I mean, the best you can do for now is counter his opinions with valid reasoning and hope he'll start to change his views. But I think that if you guys continue to be so far apart on issues that seem genuinely important to you, you might need to ask yourself if this is the sort of guy you want to…

Chicken breast, kale, and red peppers over whole wheat mini shells with a little pesto and goat cheese.

Yay, Frosty! Go, little dude, go!

Speaking as an agnostic here: If someone is a true believer in God, then maybe they shouldn't question His/Her wisdom in creating whoever the hell He/She chooses to create? If God is infallable, then it seems pretty freaking arrogant of man to look askance upon that.

Good on you for hosting this group. I recently moved schools to a much more conervative community and I really miss my old GSA kids. They were so active and knowledgeable, and when they weren't knowledgeable about something they conducted their own research and shared it with the club via presentation. Things are…

I just cannot with these people. As a child who was a part of GSA clubs, and now as a teacher who has advised GSA clubs, this makes me want to punch everything in sight. It's a club about support, education, and safety. I've had kids share that being a part of GSA literally saved them from commiting suicide.

Preach. I did WW for 2 years hardcore. I was religious about it and lost 65 lbs. 3 years later, I'm pretty much back where I started. Ugh. I still use a lot of the tools I learned from WW, but it's not always sustainable to have a 1300-1400 calorie diet in the real world.

I'm sorry. That really sucks. =/

Go you! I hope they are great and really help you. I have been struggling with my own anxiety for the last four years and I still haven't been able to take the plunge. I'm not sure what I'm so afraid of. But the idea of having to talk to someone about my anxiety makes me so…anxious. Ah irony. I wish you all the best…

Yes to the black sari, no to flat sandals. Unless they're super classy looking.

Sometimes I think people who go on and on about how amazing their diet is are basically suffering from stockholm syndrome. Pretend to love the diet so you don't have to fear it. Eventually you just plain love the diet. I know this is what I went through when I hardcore dieted for 2 years before my wedding. I had to…

It's a little bit like stocholm syndrome. Pretend to love the diet so you don't have to fear it. Eventually you just plain love the diet.

Just got some rough news today. Really needed this little guy. Thanks keyboard cat.

Damnit, Florida. This is why we can't have nice things.

The irony at work here is staggering.

John C Reilly is a real class act. He lives in the neighborhood where a high school theater festival was being held and stopped by just to watch the kids and give support. My students performing that year were beyond thrilled to see him there supporting HS theater.

I can top Irons. Alan. Rickman. -mic drop- =P

It's that weird pirate accent. I could listen to him read the phonebook.
