Because they were 11-15 and probably hadn't read the Boy Scout charter, or any definitive history of the organization. Dang, can't. resist. feeding. troll.

I don't understand the pearl-clutching. All parents tell little stories about things their kids say. This is hardly anything that will haunt the kid.

Give it a bit more than four days, mledward. You may not love it, but you can stand it until you gain some skills and can move to something you like.

Well, thank Maud I'm turning 43 this weekend. Only 3 more days to be unhappy! /jk.

I gave up reading the comments on Above the Law for Lent three years ago. What, it's not still Lent?

I would almost be okay with the absolute invasion of privacy if we could suspend confidentiality laws for a single day, to reveal all of the right wing wives, girlfriends, moms, aunts, sisters, daughters & nieces who have chosen abortion. If all of these anti-choice politicians suddenly had to look their loved ones in…

That made me laugh, and then I realized that it was truth. That sucks.

Good things to clear up with a roommate too. Living with people is hard, whether romantically or friend-ily.

I would add "scorekeeping" to the list (tho maybe it will be in the +4). Mr. Luckier and I remind each other on occasion "it doesn't always have to be even-steven." Whether we're talking about who buys the groceries, who loads the dishwasher, or who gets to be "poor baby" on a bad day, it's good to remember that…

To hell with silence, I want to drink with those chicks, maybe smoke a little reefer.

Men don't have anything to do with making twins, do they? Esp fraternal twins, occurring where two eggs are released and fertilized. Dad's family history and spunk having nothing to do with it.

Yes, but you may inherit your fertility from your other grandma. One of my sisters and I have completely different fertility/menopause profiles, though we're full sisters and only 2 years apart. Her profile matches our paternal grandmother, mine matches our maternal grandmother.

Yes, but we prefer sweet little 8 pound, 7 oz. baby jesus.

"If you aren't blessed with extraordinarily good genes, and want to avoid being scorned by those around you (and random Canadians), it seems you should get a bit of Botox, but keep things natural. Then vehemently deny you've had anything done."

I am over 40 years old, and the romance between Veronica and Logan still gets me, every time. So tortured!

After the 1989 earthquake in Santa Cruz, we were without power for more than a week. With a campstove and propane, we made coffee, pancakes, bacon, heated soup, etc. Luckily the neighborhood store ignored the orders not to sell booze, and sold us cases of beer out the back door.

You mean, like all prescription drugs within a health insurance plan?

I suppose the silver lining to this story is that, both at the performance and at the after party, multiple people recognized this as rape and called the guy out on it. So, that's progress of a sort.

I do this at the OB/GYO's office.

Exactly my question: will Fresh Frog make my nails look like I dipped them in glitter?
