I literally just rolled my eyes at your comment.

Joggers and dog walkers, always. Not me, though. When I walk my dog through the park and he gets real interested in something off the path and starts snuffling around in the underbrush I pull him away like, "Nope, leave it. I can not even deal with a whole CSI intro right now..."

When considering journalists let's assume google = search online with every tool available.

how i miss the days when everyone had either a livejournal or an open-visibility myspace blog. oh mid-oughts, we shall not see the likes of you and your lax concept of internet privacy ever again.

I feel like someone in the GOP says "hey, maybe we shouldn't so much with the hating everything that isn't a straight white male," and the media blows up for a few days about how the GOP is turning over a new leaf, and then a GOP controlled legislature says "lol wut?" and passes another TRAP law.

You didn't call them grits? That's how I explain both foods to people. "What's polenta?" Grits for snobs. "What are grits?" Polenta for rednecks. (And they are both awesome! Polenta is more likely to have herbs in it, but grits are more likely to be smothered in cheddar cheese, so it's a toss-up.)

This performance was so great. MAYBE right up there with Gus Fring as far as eeeeevil antagonists go.

The best part of this image is my US Senator, Al Franken, just to the right of the box.

Yeah, kids don't know to be ashamed of their bodies until we teach them.

I wish I could find the picture of my kid wearing nothing but her brand new red rain boots. Do you know how hard it it to persuade a 2 yr old that it's not a good idea to wear rain boots to bed?

What her body is designed to do is gestate, give birth to and feed a child. There are many, many shit parents in the world, so being a good one is in fact a skill, and an accomplishment. Hence, why many parents blog about it, because it also works as a sounding board for advice and to ensure they are doing it well.…

when you've met a tiny 5-year-old raped so hard she couldn't sit down for days,

You seriously have no idea how snobby and full of shit you sound.

Making them different from any other type of blog how?

Honestly, this is why I don't cross over to Jez anymore. "WE LOVE FEMINISM!"*

I do too, but I have to coordinate schedules with the husband because it's much cheaper when he is home in lieu of getting a babysitter for like 2 hours.

Ah, yes, I'm sure everyone here applauds your great foresight in being born with abilities in the STEM fields, because everyone knows it's either that or artisanal toast making.

I have good friends who are married. We refer to them as girl Erin and boy Aaron. Can be very confusing.

I have two kids, 1 and 3, and my "me" time is also two hours before bed plus the occasional weekend they spend with grandparents. Pre-kids, my me time was basically any time I wasn't at work or hanging out with my husband.
