Miss Eaves - THANK YOU. I LOVE THIS SONG AND THIS VIDEO. Showing to my teens tonight...

I know I’m the dissenting opinion here, but as the mother of a child with Asperger’s and also a relatively high IQ, it is extremely heartening to see kids like this represented in mainstream media. My child isn’t an emotionless genius with no feelings, but neither does said child experience emotion the same as…

As the spouse of a disabled veteran, let me just say they are VERY quick to take money back, and they take a LONG time to fix things. They stopped paying us a portion of my husband’s pension when one of our kids transferred from community college to a 4 year college because according to their records “he has completed…

I’m down for $10.

I like to break out 3AM eternal every so often just to show my children what original cell phones were and how big they were. They don’t believe it. 

ZOMG I got one of these too. In 1987... or whatever version there was in 1987.

Ahem. Some of us went to UMass Amherst, and the *original* Yankee Candle Workshop is down the road. Some of us remember it *before* it got big and commercial and mass produced. Before they had that year round Christmas Store nonsense. [/nostalgia]

Once I bought a giant vat of hellman’s. Only after I got home did I realize it was past the “best by date”. I called up Hellman’s corporate and they told me it was shelf stable, and “as long as it smells and tastes okay, it’s completely safe to eat.” I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing.

See here - I want that Gold and Blue number from the last pic. BUT the problem is I will never look like this model. Never Ever. If they could sell me the body to go with the outfit I would totes be down for it.

Appropriate responses to a child fidgeting with their shoe strap:
- ask quietly if the shoe is bothering the child and figure out a solution
- offer the child something else to occupy their hands like silly putty
- offer the child the opportunity to take a short walk to say the main office to deliver a note so the child…

I am TOTES ready to see this and I am NOT a sci-fi girl.

I bought my house because it is 1.5 blocks from two train lines. They have been taking one or the other down on the weekends for the last year. I know they will be taking it down again after the L train to fix the underwater tunnels. I’m terrified that my commute will go from 60 minutes to 2+ hours and will involve a…

Now *I* need tissues.

Also, since I see Kara Brown is not on one of these teams, I am FULLY expecting that at least one event will be throwing shade and Kara will be the judge (and jury).

Waiting for the inevitable post from HamNo stating why both the Rio Olympics and the Gawker Olympics are [choose as many as you like]:

ONLY in Philly, will you get a statement from the Mayor’s office that uses the phrase “screwing around.”

I was all ready to start crying “NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! MY CHILDHOOD!!!”

Did the dems look for a candidate from The Joe Biden School for Vice Presidency?

Your dad is a CLASS ACT.

This is very exciting news.
