Earlier this week I was disappointed that a Higher Ed job posting wasn’t for the Colorado School of Mimes. Alas, it was mines. Mimes and college are a theme lately.

My dad who speaks fluent Spanish decided not to teach me because, he said “I always got in trouble for speaking Spanish.” My maternal grandfather spoke fluent German until WWII when he became afraid of uttering his parents’ mother tongue. So much cultural history lost in the name of assimilation! In conclusion: fuck…

“And now you tell me that you’re having my baby. I’ll tell you that I’m happy if you want me to.”

I prefer “gentleman friend” as it both annoys him and confuses most other people.

My first insertion was painful. The second time was better. I believe the skill and patience of the doctor made the difference.

Yes, my takeaway here is that people who marry younger maybe feel like they have more sunk opportunity costs, so they stay with the shitty they know. People who were older when first marrying may have more confidence they can survive on their own.

Regretsy!!!! Those were good times in the land of internet!

This is only a new thing in the sense that the original calling of shithead is actually being heeded.

I remember back when Reagan was president, my mom’s employer-provided health insurance covered abortion. I remember this because she was reading her policy and said “Oh look, I can get an abortion!” and I said “Mommy, what’s an abortion?”

“You’re the only one of the group who looks like you work in IT”

That was my first thought too “If your criticism makes them cry, maybe you are doing it wrong and that’s on you, not them.”

How about we pay taxes to fund education? And keep future generations from being crippled by student loan debt in the way we were. Basically we all gave to give up the “I got mine, Jack!” attitude and be willing to help others. Let politicians know that investing in our country’s infrastructure is important.

I hope that declaring your actual weight becomes the norm for women. I find it refreshing. I realize the best way to make this the norm is for me to start doing it, and yet I’m still socialized to feel like either I’d be humblebragging or be judged.

The fact that she sites the Talmud in her answer is enough right there to disregard.

I don’t even understand how they are supposed to stay on your feet. It made me ask “are these photographs or drawings???”

Is that the reason I found the Johnny Utah guy more believable as a emphysema patient than an extreme athlete?

Ha! Yeah, bring pictures of your happy day if you want to be seen in the dress, but don’t wear it again!!!! It amazes me what people deem acceptable behavior. Hopefully the great great grandchild got more attention!

Much, much bigger accomplishment that warranted a distinct celebration! And then having to spend the next 20 years celebrating every anniversary with the people who crashed your milestone party!!! “Happy 60th (and our 10th!)“ And seriously, I don’t think my mom paid any more than her sibling share for the 50th party…

My mother did a reverse limelight steal. She planned her wedding on my grandparents 50th anniversary. And then used their party as her reception. Her excuse was that it was the only time the whole family was going to be down. (This was her third wedding. Her second wedding, she sent me to Florida on spring break and…

In most neighborhoods with an HOA, you can’t even have more than 4 dogs. I am against animal laws that prohibit the number and type of animals that can be owned because I think many of them are created by grassroots organizing by PETA and anti-ownership AR types. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for owning more…
