I mentioned this above but: One of my FB friends posted it on her wall. She's estranged from her family in part due to years of physical and emotional abuse.

And just how should I go about telling my daughter it's not okay to hit if I use corporal punishment?

With all due respect: I have a feeling if you think this card is suggesting everyone who was spanked is damaged goods/an asshole, you haven't been in many spanking discussions (not a criticism. Keep it that way. You'll be better for it).

One of my friends posted that on her FB wall.

I've never understood why people say "I was spanked, I turned out fine" like that is a badge of honor.

(Used to work in AZ politics): Don't worry. He's a joke to pretty much everyone in the state.

Ehh... I don't necessarily think that's a problem. If the comnplaint is paps getting too aggressive around celebs' kids, then this ban will hopefully take steps to avoiding that. If they want to provide a few controlled opportunities to take photos, that's fine by me. And ideally, as the kids get older, they'll have…

Check out his covers of "Royals" and "Rocket Man."

I learned about Bob Herzog a few months ago and spent an entire Friday watching his YouTube channel. He is a treasure.

Yeah, I've heard stories about Crossfit gyms being really great (helping people who wouldn't consider themselves hardcore athletes become stronger and more fit than they thought they'd be) as well as the ones that really push the "work out til you puke" mentality. The former, I'd love to get into; the latter, not so…

I mentioned this on another Biggest Loser thread, but I bought one of the TBL workout DVDs and was surprised how encouraging Jillian was on it. That season's TBL contestants were on the video with her and she would praise them for good form and good-naturedly tease them when she thought they could push harder. It made…

The bill now heads to Gov. Jan Brewer's office, with almost no doubt that she'll sign it.

Yeah, Gallardo is very liberal.

I had read this on here awhile back and it made me SO HAPPY because I have a half-full tube of Lansinoh and am no longer breastfeeding. I've been using it on my lips before I go to bed and it works SO WELL.

I've determined that the hallmark of maturity is the ability to admit when you fuck up and accept the consequences that follow. So few people are able to do that, it seems.

Then the narrative would be all about whether she could still be as committed to her political career after getting married and/or having kids.

This!

My thoughts exactly!

Police could lobby a legislator to propose the law. Interest groups propose laws to lawmakers, who then formally introduce them, all the time - groups with a big enough staff will even write the bill themselves.

Some people aren't "baby" people - I wasn't. For me, when my son started to crawl (9 months), it was a turning point. He could entertain himself to a certain extent and it was fun to see what he was attracted to and what he wanted to play with. But around three or four months is when they start smiling and…
