I can tell you from experience that using fear to keep kids under control only backfires and is a terrible way for them to learn anything. It only teaches them to hide things from you and feel like they can't trust you.

Sounds like somebody's going through pumpkin spice latte withdrawal.

why is there no white history month, right?

oh man this is nothing! just stay off twitter whatever you do.

Oh, the appeals to skin color! Are you trying for white guilt syndrome? Or just being a dick because you aren't white and think that gives you a free pass?

Are you ready for the shitstorm from the terminally outraged?

But she's being indicted for a legitimate reason according to Japanese law as they interpret it.

It's tough to deal with a racist that really wants to argue. I'd recommend just dismissing.

Hugs to you! That sucks - I am so glad most of my extended family is dead and we don't have get togethers anymore. (Boy, that sounded really horrible, but it's true). I get enough of that single girl bullshit at work.

Ah, yes - this is precisely why I stubbornly refused to spend Christmas with any of my family.

It was only recently for me. I've live away from my parents for 15 years and 4 of those were recently living with a boyfriend (the relationship just ended 5 months ago). Now that my place is completely mine (no roommates, no bf who hates my style), I feel at home. It's just me and my cats an I love everything about…

gotta love GRONK!

I am not home now, but I will be going back home and staying with my parents for three weeks in December. I am not looking forward to it. They just are always around, I'm very introverted and they know that but for some reason don't understand that it applies to them too. They just talk so much, even when there is…

Hey, that's great news! I was wondering.... ;)

I didn't know it until now, but I need to see John Stamos and Rob Lowe kissing.

I have had the great good fortune of seeing Rob Lowe and John Stamos in person, but not together. That photo is almost too much to take in. If you could bottle impossible levels of middle-aged male beauty, their faces would be on the label.

In other news, SamBarge and Mr. Barge are still married.
