Mommy gets to have some sea tricks.

You were at school, luv. Or lacrosse practice. Not at home, at any rate. I appreciate your kind words, though. <3

I'm in Oregon, so your neighbor to the north. The hubby and I were non-traditional students, meaning we were old and in our late 30s when we went to law school. We partied some with our group of friends, but now we're even OLDER and don't go out much. But yeah, attorneys need to blow off steam pretty much on the daily.

As I woman, I can say yes, that is attractive, at least to me. It's letting down the curtain a bit on that masculine habit of showing no emotion. Give us your tender side. Ladies love that shit.

Oh jeez, I'm crying after reading that. I think all mothers can sympathize. The kindness of strangers is sometimes a magical and most welcome thing. And it feels good to be the kind stranger! And I agree 100%—no matter how rotten you felt, you took care of the kids. That puts you at the front of the class. Putting a…

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. The first year of law school is a forced march through hell. The goal is really to weed out those with weaker constitutions and thin the herd. Once you get to the second year, you're one of the gang. Professors are nice. You no longer wish you could die when reading a case for the 10th…

I'm pretty sure it's Mitch McConnell. Have you seen that guy?

God, law school will ruin a person. RUIN. Especially the 1L year. FUCK THAT

Oh, I'm familiar with the good old "proxy cry." I hope you felt good afterward, or at least better once your emotions were spent. *virtual hugs*

I have two, and I can't decide which is worse.

PROBLEM = SOLVED

I'm pretty sure this bunch are ordained to do marriages. Let's take up a collection and send them on a road trip to Oklahoma. http://www.thesisters.org

Unicorn farts. I thought everyone knew that.

Perhaps! It's a mystery for a reason.

I think Hillary and President Obama have a scheme cooked up. Once she gets heavily into campaign mode, she'll be putting herself out there all over the place. The Eye of Sauron (aka Fox "News" and right-wing punditry in general) will swing its gaze to her, taking some of the heat off Obama. While Sauron is distracted,…

I feel you. My dear departed Miss Kitty brought me a partially dead field mouse one night, in the middle of the night. There was a lot of running and squeaking going on. We managed to catch the poor mouse, compliment Miss Kitty on a job well done, and turn the thing loose outside while she was distracted. Cat…

When my mom died in 2009 from cancer (FUCK YOU CANCER RIGHT IN THE FACE) it was definitely emotional and awful for me. I kept it together during her memorial service pretty well...until the folks from her job started talking.

I recognize that as a gay man I sometimes get away with things that straight men wouldn't

Worst place I've stayed in awhile was a cheap place in Austin, when we went back to visit family two years ago. Right off IH-35 near Rundberg (best part of town, I know!). Just needed it for one night, then we were traveling somewhere else. The room was disgusting, the shower didn't work, and there was blood all over…

I grew up in the 1970s, when tennis was at a huge zenith in the US. Everyone was playing tennis, watching tennis, taking tennis lessons. My mother loved Kris Everett so we watched all her matches. John McEnroe could always be counted on to be an absolute dick and throw giant diaper baby tantrums in just about every…
