Way to be an awesome proactive mom. All us gals recall getting the Safety lecture from our parents. "Don't walk alone at night. Don't take rides from strangers. Blah blah."
I can't recall my parents ever once discussing consent with my three brothers. So now that the littlest one is of sex-having age, I told him what's

"At the time, Steubenville area radio host David Bloomquist, known as "Bloomdaddy,” said he thought the 14-year-old was making it up. "I guess the best way to sum up what I'm saying is this: It's easier to tell your parents you were raped than, 'Hey mom or dad, I got drunk and decided to let three guys have their way

I don't do Boxing Day sales either.

I just want to take a quick poll...how many of you recall the definition of consent and the importance of establishing it, being at all mentioned and discussed in your sexual education courses in public school?

Maybe Starbucks cards or whatever coffee place is nearby? Those poor people need fuel, from what I can recall of working retail during the holidays.

Pffft. Sounds like somebody is unnaturally attached to her "eyebrows" and "skin on her face."

Whoa, really? That sounds amazing. Do people just pack their turkeys over to the station and then bring them home? Eating them collectively at the fire station also sounds very festive.

My retail job is bringing in food and treats for us. So we should be set. :)

The video with the guy with the Mustache and the naked baby was so anti-climactic... and that's good.

I'm totally adding my local nursing homes and EMTs the list of people I want to treat :)

This is always amazing to me, I starting calling costumer service in my early teens because my parents didn't want to deal with computer, internet issues, etc but I was never rude, why would you be? Call center jobs can be tough.

red unobtainium!

I know, I'm always really nice to the person I'm talking to, even if I'm venting about the company. I always say something like, "I'm sorry, this isn't personal, I know you're just doing your job," and nine times out of ten they actually secretly agree with you anyway. Just be decent.

Yes. I am middle manager. Hear me slump.

You need to buy better jerky.

Well, I'M certainly not happy.

That's a cool idea. I bet it would be nice to do for emergency employees, like police officers or nurses or firefighters, too.

I love Canada. Canadians are the best.

I'm Canadian - so I work this week, because it's a normal week for us.
