I'm so sorry. Please know that at least one teacher today is trying to prevent that situation from repeating itself. Any advice for me from your experience?

At the middle school where I work, we got a "gluten sensitive" home-schooled student whose mom's only concern was that we monitor her kid's bread consumption because she was convinced that, for her child, "gluten [is] crack." We can't tell a child to not eat something unless there are medical records to prove it (in…

Jerry Seinfeld as Ronald McDonald. Just sayin'.

If you watch RuPaul's Drag Race looking to get more from it than knee-jerk reactions to the terminology used, you'll find it a pretty inclusive show. Over the years, he's stressed acceptance of oneself, of learning from one's shortcomings, of coming to terms with family relationships, and of the impact HIV and AIDS…

I'm sorry, how do you spend nearly $29,000 on microdermabrasion? Do they get their entire bodies buffed?! Can they dye their eyes to match their gowns? The Wash & Brush Up, Wizard of Oz

You need to be prepared to put up with a lot of co-worker shit for it though. I am the only person at my work who wears heels. I've been there 4 years. To this day, when a co-worker makes small talk, the first thing out is, "I don't know how you can wear those all day," followed by either a) how I'm destroying my…

If Joan's outfit and the stewardess outfits got together...

Most delighted by the guy and gal right around the 1:55 mark. He ends looking triumphant, while she softly smiles, then promptly returns to bitchy resting face.

Best and worst in-flight experiences:
Best: traveling Southwest Airlines one winter, the crew sang a couple holiday songs (aww!).
Worst: the guy beside me spent his ipad time watching porn. When I asked him, "Could you not?" he just angled the screen more towards himself. So many awkward turtles were born in that…

Fearsome suit! Want it.

This lady is armed and dangerous! Look at those guns!

Sorry Pharrell, but I've seen this ad before: Dancing Gap Commercial

I figured it's the facial expression more so than the age/child popularity that TheSailingStone meant to focus on. However, if comparing former child star in general vs. Megan Fox, I'd say people feel more strongly about the former because, having seen them grow up, we take a more protective (or judgemental) stance on…

Something about the color of her tongue made me think she was wearing braces, then I realized, with the age difference, she might've been and he'd have still looked the same...shiver.

“I hope that this incident doesn't deter people from wearing Google Glass."

Au contraire, I hope it does. No one wants their vibe killed by a pervy stranger, whatever the setting and whatever the gender of said stranger. Let people be mindful of that before they start feeling as entitled as Ms. Slocum evidently did.

Milton Waddams robbed again!

Not surprised by this at all. When our work's insurance agent visited us in the fall (in NC) we were informed that, under our policy, pregnancy is coded as a "long-term illness" and/or a "pre-existing condition". So a baby is equivalent to a disease? A back injury?

I was introduced to the word growing up by the bad graffiti on a dumpster in my neighborhood. It read "bith". To this day, I use this word as the female equivalent to "jerk". I think it's a nice compromise, because I never really mean "bitch" anyway.

so trapped and flaily.

Maybe I should've looked into the medical field. I found myself feeling satisfied relief for him.
