It's not. We've been to the one in Houston and the stylists won't do much with a non-AG doll's hair but that's because they don't know how well rooted the hair is or what it's made of. It would really suck if some little girl ended up watching her favorite doll get accidentally scalped. If you don't have an AG…

unless he was applying for military security clearance, they wouldn't check her background. But I think a basic background check would turn up any filing for marriage licenses...

my personal loophole is "I needed a break/day off to recharge. All work and no Pointless Internet makes Allyson something something..."

oh, hi there. You are me. Or perhaps you are watching me through my (dirty, of course) bedroom window. Either way, nice to meet you.

she was old enough to read Anne sexton and watch SNL...

Yes, a typical 18-month-old* could pick up and jam a few pebbles (not very far ) in there. It is incredibly weird that she happened to do it right before Lena decided to check things out. Not impossible, but weird. Unless the baby was just going through a stage of putting things there, which seems kinda plausible…

Slipdresses were damn near satanic. I still wore them and looked horrible.

If it helps, you sound awesome to me.

I can't stop staring at her hands.

Nellie. Her name is Nellie. Also, she can't read so good but does do arithmetic really fast because she had to do her family's shopping (before her best friend's Cool Aunt and Uncle adopted her).

I hope not. At least, not after October 1st. Won't somebody please think of the heating bills?

Leonardo wouldn't be caught dead in a flag-t-shirt- wearing-human suit. My money's on Michaelangelo.

um, I had my appendix out without insurance and lived for years with a psychiatric disorder without insurance. The US system is ridiculous in so many ways, but it's shitty as hell for you to impugn the doctors and nurses who provide care in the ER by saying he was treated badly because that's just what they do. ER…

I'm not sure what you think happened here. He was assessed by a doctor. The doctor did not know about his travel history because of a miscommunication, and so there was a misdiagnosis—-the doctor diagnosed him with severe sinusitis, which also fits the symptoms he had, and gave him antibiotics. I agree that many…

do we have the same neighbor? My neighbor would probably just go to a chiropractor if her kids got Ebola (or the much more likely whooping cough, chicken pox, measles...)

look, you're describing a real and serious problem, but it has absolutely nothing to do with this case. This patient was in the country too short a time to have a primary doc, and a primary would've sent him to the ER anyway. The nurse infected was not an ER nurse, nor does it seem that any ER patients were…

I thought it was a joke?

Junie B. Jones and SkippyJon Jones can both fuck right off.

Green Eggs and Ham + D.A.R.E/Just Say No = Very confused children. That book is pretty much all about how awesome it is to finally give in to peer pressure.

Even worse: the companion series, Babysitter's Little Sister. That was some awful stuff
