I mean, salad for breakfast is weird. (I also eschew greens in a smoothie because MAKING THEM LIQUID DOESN’T HELP.)

This was a really good feature.

Listen, I never knew about the poop until I was in the moment.  Why did no one talk about the poop??  (Granted, I gave birth to my first before there were pregnancy/mom forums, so maybe the poop is discussed now.)

Oh gosh, yes please get tucks. As for Depends- eh, it’s really one of those calls you end up having to make afterward. Maybe buy a small pack just to be on the safe side (if you can afford them)? And then if it turns out that you need more, hopefully your partner or a family member can make a run for them. if you…

This is a really good point. Are pharmacists allowed to nope out of other prescribed medications? Like, if my doctor prescribes me a steroid pack because my shitty asthma has decided to rear its ugly head, can a pharmacist just be like, “nope, actually, I think steroids are over prescribed, and I’m not going to fill…

“Video is obviously faked and what is Online? Is that a new drug from Mexico? It’s not on Fox News so it didn’t actually happen.”

You know that moment on the West Wing, in which Jed Bartlett is running against Gov Ritchie, (who was supposed to be a stand-in for Bush but now seems like a halcyon dream of time gone by) and Hot Mark Harmon’s just been killed and Ritchie is like “crime. Boy, I don’t know.”

I will FIGHT YOU if you say shit about Ben and Erin Napier. FIGHT YOU.

Come back and give us the tea when you can!

You know, I used to get really worked up about being “too much of a mom,” like you say. I was desperate to prove that I was still cool and had interests and passions not related to mothering. And then my teenager grew up on me, and in three short years she’ll be in college (god willing and the creek don’t rise) and…

I love kids age 7 and up! So fun! (well, the tween years are hard, but hopefully that’s a hurdle I’ve now passed with my oldest.) My youngest is two and he’s fun and I love him but trying to decipher his words and making sure he’s not setting fire to him and sitting down and building “tall towers!” with him is not the…

sorry, Green is right on this one. It would be the same thing as attending an AA group that your employee is in - there is a reasonable expectation of privacy in a private club/group, and an employer shouldn’t attend something that would make the employee uncomfortable. At the very least, the employee will see his…

I can’t imagine that’d be okay.  What if someone were in a domestic abuse situation and their partner (or ex-partner) was stalking them?  How would the JACKS club know the intention of the person calling?

I said last week that This is Us is better when it takes itself less seriously, and generally I find this to be true.  But this was a good episode for taking seriously - what starts as a war film quickly becomes a story of brothers and then, eventually, a story of how we look up to our fathers.  I thought it was…

Ughhhh to that principal.

My husband’s been on me a lot recently to walk the dog more in the evening (we have a huge yard where we play fetch and he gets morning walks, so don’t hate me, everyone) and one day I just snapped and was like: “I can’t! I can’t walk the dog in the evening, because it’s already getting dark, and if I walk him along…

He was one of those bosses who works all hours of the day and night and expects everyone else to do the same . . . but he wouldn’t sign off on laptops or company cell phones for us. Pretty easy* to work all hours of the day and night when you’re just checking email on your work phone!

Oh, definitely.  It’s 100% an ass-covering move for their insurance company.

I know; that killed me.  Just seeing her handwriting, so unsure and small and ugh, now I’m crying again.

I’m not crying at work!  You are!
