I don’t mind at all. I’ve seen the lasting effects of the SO registry. In my time practicing in juvenile court I’ve seen two adult men who I think should be on the SO registry for life, based on their psychosexual evaluations. Both were predatory, and both were sexually aroused by young children. Both had offended…

I don’t have all the details, but I found this: http://now.snopes.com/2015/05/21/jos…

I have clients who are accused of committing sex crimes, of varying degrees, as juveniles (I represent juvenile offenders). Some of them involve incidents between family members. These kids are put on probation, required to go through sex offender-specific treatment, and forced to register as sex offenders. Unless I…

I’m 48, look probably 5-10 years younger (thanks for the great genes, mom and dad!) and completely invisible. It’s a relief, honestly. I went to law school at 37, as a second career. Talk about fading into the wallpaper! But it helped me learn a lot of valuable things about my classmates, like who was cheating on…

Babby just IS. Forever.

Whoa. Thanks for the pro tip.

I’m pretty sure if you asked these dim bulbs to draw a female reproductive system diagram, it would look like an eggplant with maybe a couple of horns. And a circle with the label “pre-born babies live here.”

Hubby and I have talked about previous relationships, because we were both just getting over divorces when we met. He knows some things about my relationship history, and I know some about his. But we’ve never once had a discussion about numbers, or “first times,” or any of that. Frankly, I don’t want to know. Feels…

I did Weight Watchers, more than 20 years ago, in my early 20s. I followed the quick start diet religiously...for about two weeks. I didn’t go to meetings, a friend of mine gave me the diet plan. My husband (at the time) and I weighed and measured everything obsessively. I did get down to my smallest ever as an adult,…

After being Splenda-shamed by two very good friends who have my best interests at heart, I switched to agave. Half the calories of sugar and I don’t have a crash, either. I only use it (one teaspoon) in my two morning cups of coffee. My husband is still a Splenda junkie, but he’s a Type 1 diabetic and has to be super…

Your comment triggered a thought...maybe Don liked to keep moving forward because when you’re quiet and still, introspection occurs. He wasn’t much for introspection, which was what made that last group scene so powerful.

My tic usually only flares up when I’m in court, unfortunately. Then I’m sitting next to my client, clenching, enduring the state’s attorney’s attempts at the English language.

I feel like you’re probably better off.

I cried when she covered her ears after Henry threw the news in her face. I had this episode on DVR and read a spoiler, and was glad I did. My mom died of ovarian cancer in 2009 and this episode was extremely triggering. Thankfully I knew beforehand. Still cried.

Toastmasters ruined me, and I haven’t participated in YEARS (although I earned my Competent Toastmaster designation, holla at yer girl!). Sometimes I find myself counting “um” and “uh” when someone is speaking, and fining them in my head. I will say, it’s made me more conscious about how *I* speak. But I do try to…

Well, now you’re just being an ass. You know and I know that’s not my point. Every state receives federal subsidies. But Texas is one of the few acting like we don’t exist in a federated republic, and offering to leave said republic. I was born and raised there and I am well-acquainted with the attitude Texans harbor…

Makes the brain hurt. Also a Texan here, but I moved away to the Pacific Northwest. Still visit; don’t miss it.

Yes, I was hasty. Look, I know what I meant! Can’t you all just divine my intent through the interwebs!!!??

I’m going to reply to myself to acknowledge that my post was vague. Some folks took the joke and ran with it. Obviously, I did not mean the girls would be prosecuted. I meant their abusers.

I must admit, I laughed, then hated myself, then laughed again. Well played.
