Ugh yes. I loooove being in my 30s, I’m the happiest and most functional I’ve ever been. I look back at my 20s and it was such a train wreck. I don’t actually know who Kehlani is... But I feel for her. I can’t imagine navigating the crazy that is 20 with public scrutiny on top of it all.

Ha! For mine it’s that new iPhone commercial with Cookie Monster. He laughs like a little kid through the whole thing. I saved the link for him :)

No, 8 mos with Joao... 4 mos breeding. And isn’t it the male penguins who raise the young? So most of that time is probably spent parenting, not gettin some. No wonder he comes back to Joao for most of the year!

Oh god I would kill to have been her. He could have stood angrily over me while looking upon my smiling face and middle finger pointed in his direction.

I would kind of looooove to be put in this situation because my stubborn tantrum throwing skills are pretty epic when I’m pushed to that point. It would be a showdown for the ages.

So they’re basically internet trolls but in real life.

I’m going with both.

I’m inclined to agree. My SO’s oldest son shot himself just over a year ago. People go to great lengths to soften it when they talk about it. I know they mean well... But it was horrific (and still is) and frankly I think it should be jarring and uncomfortable for people, especially if it drives even one person into…

Ugh I hate that! At the last company I worked for one of the interns posted something like that... Trying to rehome his “summer pet”. WTF??? I just loathe people who think that other living creatures are disposable.

This makes me sad... And as is the with all “fad” pets I’m sure a great many of them are purchased by idiots who couldn’t care properly for a paper bag.

I watched a show about Jonestown on CNN just last week. Most of it was stuff I already knew but the interviews with survivors were fascinating. The videos/tapes of the massacre however were completely horrifying.

I was thinking the same thing :( On the other hand, it was probably lucky that the cute little guy wandered into the restaurant so that he could get the help he needs. I hope he makes a full recovery and lives a long, cute sea lion life in the wild!

I know - in thinking about it I don’t recall a single word about consent in sex ed. There have been many discussions here about education for college students but those conversations should be starting right along with kids’ first sex ed class.

I was thinking the exact same thing... Can we have these classes for all men in every country?

Hey! Assuming there is no other Issaquah anywhere, which I kind of doubt there is - that is where I grew up.

OMG separate bathrooms are THE BEST. SO and I went through a bit of a rough patch over the summer and he basically moved into our guest bedroom and bathroom. When we patched it up he moved back into the bedroom but has kept the separate bathrooms. Let me tell you - BEST. THING. EVER. Also, he does sleep in the guest…

It’s true. I think my parents waiting about 5 years for me to come along. They knew they wanted two kids so they immediately put in an application for another child when they got me and were SUPER lucky to only wait 18 mos for my brother. He was like the adoption equivalent of an “oops” baby in that they were not at…

How did I not know about this? Thank you. I just set mine up to donate to PP of the Greater NW.

I think it really depends on how parents behave with money and what they teach their kids. My SO grew up with a single mom on welfare. While she didn’t have a lot it seems like she was responsible with what she did have. He does pretty well for himself and he’s super responsible. He doesn’t have credit card debt, no…

The upside of being a tech company is that dress-wise, pretty much anything goes. But yes, I think I’ll be asking for noise canceling headphones for Xmas.
