My husband too :( I will never be not bummed about the the lack of romantic gestures. He des say that I should buy myself flowers whenever I want with our joint bank account, so it’s basically him buying it since he works and I don’t... not quite the same.

A visit to the florist is the highlight of my week! :) I live near some giant cemeteries so I have access to some really nice flower shops. If someone is bringing me flowers I very much prefer them not to be on holidays. Roses on V-day makes my head explode because it’s just expensive without the thoughtfulness to me.

Added to cart...

Oh god, what? What? :/

Yeah, pretty much :( It’s really crappy. My 8 year old daughter (who is seriously the most cautious, responsible kid I have ever seen) was chased down our street by an old lady yelling at her for walking on the sidewalk without a parent. The woman came to yell at me for my “neglect” and I asked if she had been doing…

Some of our districts can’t afford them now. My kids’ district has zero buses :(

YES. I lost my virginity to a Chad while Night at the Roxbury was on. Excuse me while I go vomit.

My brother in law Dustin is awesome! He’s graduating college in a few weeks and I’ll be there crying happy tears. Amanda is the name of every jerk girl I’ve ever met I swear.

I’ve had it happen and it was shocking and disorienting. I think I was too high to manage the fork to mouth movements safely? Like the idea of eating it was just too hard.

I would be pissed. It’s so tacky and cheap! That’s not just stealing your day, that is stealing your services you paid for. UGH. I am mad for you.

I hope it’s twins and a rainbow comes out of the sky just for her when she announces it.

Gold is an object, typically put on a pedestal for its perceived worth, so I guess that lines up.

Thank you. My 4 year old is autistic. He’s pretty good in meetings, but I try not to make him hang out in that situation because it’s boring and difficult to “pass” in.

Plus, even really well behaved kids can be pretty naughty if they have to sit in a long meeting with adults. That’s asking a lot of a kid. It’s boring, you’re super limited on activities, and if you have to pee or get hungry you look needy. Adult meetings are not kid-friendly and a terrible indicator of a kid’s…

Didn’t Ag just agree to a 25% decrease?

I live in a city that is 90% chinese and many of my neighbors do not speak any english. I don’t know mandarin or cantonese, so letting the city who does have bilingual staff talk to the residents makes sense. I don’t see why I’d look like a whiny brat for letting the city handle it when it’s city business. I wouldn’t…

The sprinklers must be faced wrong or something. It sprays all over the sidewalk and runs down the street.

We live just outside of SF so it’s somewhat coastal and moss and succulents do beautifully. We don’t water anything out front and the camelias are still blooming. I water our veggie garden with saved shower water.

Good thing I don’t have any dogs?

Right! Everyone else on the street has a brown-and-proud lawn but these people have sopping wet grass.
