During my childhood I thought growing up with siblings kind of sucked. As an adult, and especially since my father died, I can't imagine not having them around. In a time like that, friends are great. Friends who have also been through a loss are extra great. My husband and my brother's wife were amazing. But my…

You would think after 15 years of getting cramps on a monthly basis I'd be able to recognize what they are. But no, like Tracie, I pretty much always think I'm on my way to diarrhea town.

I think Betty just said that because Don claimed he was going to be busy that weekend so Betty was basically saying: Sally's going with you even if the doorman is the one who ends up taking care of her.

Going to an all girls school gave me a strong sense of self-confidence that I might not have developed at a co-ed school. Maybe I was sheltered during those crucial adolescent development years, but I think the outcome is that I'm actually better equipped to deal with misogyny. Nobody's going to tell me I'm not good…

I don't know if I learned any better at an all girls school, but I do know that I rarely saw bullying or mean girl behavior, and we were generally friendly and supportive of one another. Maybe because there were no boys around to make us feel like we were in competition with one another.

There aren't enough hateful words in the English language for how I feel about texting.

Well I guess in an argument about whether or not bigamy is objectively moral or acceptable, the Constitution isn't really relevant.

Yeah, but I'd argue (in the U.S. anyway) that laws that ban same sex marriage discriminate on the basis of sex - they prevent someone from marrying the person of their choice merely because of the sex that person is. Our constitution forbids treating people differently on the basis of sex. Our Constitution does not,…

Probably for morality/values reasons. It probably wouldn't be okay to enact laws promoting specific religious dogma due to separation of church and state, but it's pretty much legal to enact laws based on morals as long as they do not unfairly discriminate against a vulnerable class of people.

I kind of hope this episode ends some of the ardent Roger-Joan shipping I always see. I hate Roger-Joan shipping. He treated her like shit. And he's been pretty clear this entire series that while he feels affection for her, he pretty much just sees her as a piece of ass and nothing more. "The greatest piece of ass…

Congrats! DC's a cool place for law school! I never had any trouble scoring awesome internships because there are so many government and nonprofit opportunities.

Kill Jon. Boring little boy scout whose facial hair creeps me out.

I do too, when I'm not in the downtown/K street area. Sidewalks are pretty wide around here.

Exodus 21:22 reads:

Seriously! Every other post is comparing her unfavorably to Joan or Peggy or Betty, calling Megan out for behaviors that ALL of those latter three characters have displayed a number of times. Funny stuff.

Megan has pretty good reasons to be insecure about her relationship with Don. I don't see how her fit was more childish than Joan's. At least Megan's was directed at the person she was actually angry at.

Megan had not given Don a reason not to trust her in the episode where she came home late. Megan knows about Don's past, and knows that when Don has disappeared from the office in the middle of the day like that without warning, it's because he was cheating on his wife.

I'm not sure what behavior history of Megan's we're talking about. She has a history of getting mad at Don when he acts like an asshole, but I only remember her getting upset at the office that one time, except for getting emotional when she quit. And again, I like Joan, but she totally does have a long history of…

I don't think Megan sadly crying to Peggy can qualify as a temper tantrum. She barely raised her voice. Megan seems pretty level headed in most episodes - the way she dealt with Betty and Sally, the way she took the high road when she walked in on Harry saying horrible sexist things about her, etc. From what I've…

Don thinks the office misses Megan because he misses Megan. His ego is big enough that he assumes that his feelings represent the groups. I don't think it's particularly unrealistic that Don would feel that way. It's pretty clear that he loves Megan and enjoyed having her at the office.
