I just can’t picture a human tigress (I was ridiculously happy they left her in. She was this movie’s Dolorous Edd. The minor character I NEEDED for comfort.) saying, “No, we must continue to commit to the 1950’s Soviet austerity vibe from district 13. It’s fabulous.”

Actually, part of the reason I started laughing when it happened because I really wanted to go too and was thinking “This...might be a good time.” then everyone got up to go.

That made no sense! Surely in that stupid store, they could have found better disguises. A hooded cloak? Really?

Speaking of erratic and draggy: during the second of Peeta’s boring monologues, I think I saw about 10-15 people get up and go to the bathroom. It was hilarious.

Me too!

I was reading these, thinking the same thing: straight hair mum, curly hair daughter. I’m glad a can help her avoid the horrible early teenage years of large frizziness.

Oh no! Facebook is just a minefield of potentially embarrassing situations.

I don’t hate follow anyone, but my good friend is friend with my husband’s ex and as a result, I encountered the trailer for my husband’s ex’s terrible youtube show on facebook. It’s really bad. Really bad. Objectively bad. Yet, I’ve watched a couple of times. For some indulgent and petty reasons, I guess.

Yeah, what are you going to do, show up and say, “I know >you< didn’t invite me but facebook said you’d be here, so I thought I’d come along.”??

Ha! Once, when they used to try and suggest people for you to interact with, I got a suggestion that I “friend” my husband’s ex-girlfriend and that I “reconnect” with my dead ex-boyfriend.

“Travel this much” Ha. It’s not like business travellers are generally getting sent to exciting, exotic destinations. It’s more like...here you get to go to Binghamton, NY or Aberdeen, MD. You can eat at one of two horrible restaurant choices or maybe at the airport. And even when the destination is a nice spot - you…

She’s awful. And her recipes are bizarre.

No. Three months is too soon to have to put a baby into childcare. Her leave was not long enough. They could afford for her to stay home, but she would have lost her health coverage.

So we should all be independently wealthy enough to quit our jobs completely before having children? She could afford childcare. She could not afford to go without the healthcare her job provided.

I think it’s actually about affordable healthcare for everyone and the fact that 3 months paid leave is considered extremely generous in this country. But yes, quality affordable childcare is a huge part of it too. I earn roughly my daughter’s childcare tuition. It sucks.

But they could afford it. Her job just didn’t give her enough leave.

But is it going to be thinly-veiled LDS propaganda claptrap?

I agree. It was an interesting protest, initially, but the joke has been over for a long time. It’s a little bizarre to see supposedly non-religious people getting so far into an organised, made-up, belief system - whether or not one knows it’s made up makes very little difference in the end.

I’m sure I’ve had worse, but the most recent one was yesterday, watching Inside Out with my small daughter. She kept asking why I was crying.

Once, my husband shaved his beard while I was out getting drinks with friends. I came home plastered, took one look at him and shrieked.
