It depends. My husband used to work for a rent-to-own place that was robbed. After the robbery a laptop came up missing and they accused him of stealing it (he didn't). They told him that if he didn't pay for it anyway, they would fire him for theft, and he refused to pay, so they fired him. He went to the…

I never feel sick from the flu shot and I've gotten them for years. This year the injection site was sore for a day, but I in no way felt sick or achy.

Oregon is a weird combination of super hippie liberals in the cities and libertarian teabaggers everywhere else. It's one extreme or the other.

The Register-Guard is just as bad. Urgh.

It's just so fucking tiresome. Like people want pats on the head for doing a thing that is in no way unique or special. Just fucking do whatever it is and don't expect the internet to give you five million supportive you-go-girls.

oh my God, Mommy Humblebragging. Look, if you want to teach your kids a lesson, then just fucking do it (though I don't see what taking away presents and still doing every single other holiday tradition accomplishes. You didn't CANCEL CHRISTMAS.). You don't have to blog about it, or declare to the world that I DID A…

Sam is always the Smartest Person in the Room, and probably on this planet and several others.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this.

Did no one learn anything from teh SG-1 Replicators? come on.

Yep. I went through several different brands of pills before I found one that didn't make me sick to my stomach. Thankfully I didn't have to buy any of these just to try them out (this was before the ACA), as the doctor had a bunch of samples of different brands. After He wrote me one rx for one kind and I couldn't…

I wish it was more well known. If the fundies in the US government get their way, birth control will be illegal and this will be all we have to fall back on. Plus, it's a good thing to know just to have basic information about how your body works and why.

I guess my hyperthyroidism was caused by talking too much, then?

I am also a holiday fail. I'm in graduate school and we're broke. My daughter is in high school and her Christmas gift was going to be a new computer...except hers died in like, October and we replaced it then. (it was a hand me down hand me down.) So she got it then instead of now. And she understands that was her…

but you just don't understand the true struggle of the rich folk.

It's just dumb. Oh my life is so hard, I can't manage to navigate a website on my own or remember my own water bottle and god forbid I don't have just the right lime green tank top.

Oh yes, the "I paid for my ticket!!!" thing. As much as we would all looooove to have a silent, perfectly accommodating (and comfortable, lol) flight, your ticket entitles you to transportation. shit happens along the way. Is a baby crying stopping you from getting to your destination or otherwise barring you from…

It's a really good child development center. I taught a music ed class that was about early childhood music and I had my students go over and do music activities with the kids as part of the class. The teachers were so helpful and my students were amazed at how well run it is. But it's over a thousand dollars per…

Except it's not just "unwanted" and "excess" pets. They will straight up take a pet off someone's porch (as in the case of an owner who had just given his very-much-loved-and-cared-for pet a bath and was letting her dry off on the porch on a warm day) and put it to sleep because they don't ~believe in~ keeping animals…

idk if you are going to a world heritage site maybe do a little fucking research and learn shit before you just stomp on in

We have one at my university. Unfortunately it's small and it's always booked with faculty's children. Students don't stand a chance.
