this guy gets it

Great work as always. Watching World’s this year was crushing on so many levels. I wanted so much that picture of Nadia and Larisa to mean everything for Romania.

I’m surprised this makes you think she’s frail or weak. She’s clearly in a competitive leotard probably walking on to the podium to compete; which is pretty much Aly in her prime. But I’m a gymnastics fan, so...

“Mandatory reporting” refers to those adults in specific situations who are required to notify investigating agencies (local police, FBI, etc.) when they SUSPECT (does not require direct witness) any form of child abuse. Not necessarily the children themselves.

Yep, you’re right. It’s something I hadn’t considered when I made my original comment but saw other people mention. It just depends on where the other parent works (if there is one), where your other options are, etc. Generally, one parent shoulders the burden each day because it's easier (timing, distance, etc.), so…

There's someone on a lower thread that did mention whenever his wife was sick her on-site day care option was way out of the way for him to drop off the kiddo. Like you said, it's a trade off, goods and bads. On-site would be a huge boon for any mother trying to breastfeed. It's my number one thought (as my progeny is…

I agree with your whole point. But that last additional perk of it being on-site is one of the critical points why Patagonia has a 100% return of mothers to work. If I could walk downstairs to breastfeed instead of schlepping my pump and shit to and from work on top of to and from the nursing room (two buildings…

That’s interesting you have to feed others at funerals. In the US it’s typical you might provide light refreshments at a wake, but then all the family and neighbors bring casseroles to die in your freezer.

I live just south of Hampton...I want to take these ladies out to lunch and go on a group date to the movie!

You could try an hand blender after microplaning garlic. If you do it in a skinny cup you should be able to get the right proportions without too much liquid.

If you add -lyn to the name please have a headband around it with a GIANT bow or flower. please please please

I can’t play the video at work. Is there something on his shirt that’s even more endearing than the whole situation?

I think the Dutch are coming up in the world, and their musicality is worth watching. It gives me hope!

Damnit, I've been doing this wrong for yeeeeears

You sound like my bestie. She's barely dated anyone long term because of it I think

Yeah those houses...how the fuck did 5 adults qualify for four massive houses on how many incomes? Especially since Meri and Kody filed for bankruptcy several years ago. #3 has no job what so ever. I don't think Robyn ever got much of a job in Nevada. That jewelry line cannot be paying the bills. It's awful.

I do not remember much about KA at all, and I don't remember them building a wall in the last 2000s. Maybe they were the frat that lost their house during Katrina and didn't get another for a few years? Otherwise, I just don't remember them being significant on campus. (But then again, I'm not Greek.)

But wasn't Meri was the one to suggest it?

People pay for it??

undiagnosed heart problem?
