Every teacher gets lice. It’s just a fact of life. My kids have had lice twice when it spread through their school like wildfire. The shampoo does NOT work. Waste of money. This is what works, and works well: coat your hair with coconut oil and leave it for a few hours. Comb through with a lice comb. Comb every strand…

Oh God, I’ve got one. Our family drove from all over the place to meet up at a beach house for a week. Six adults and six kids from 3 different states. There were only two bathrooms, but we could make do. Or so we thought.

Well the quizzes and lectures provided by the textbook publishers are utter garbage. I’m a full time college instructor teaching 10-12 individual class sessions per week, and for each class I do 2-3 hours of planning. My students expect to be challenged, engaged, entertained, and active during class. There’s no way to…

I am so tired of watching research funding, effort and time get tossed into the garbage can of trying to prove something that we already know. It’s been proven. We need to move on to other methods of convincing parents to vaccinate when they are clearly unmoved by research and data. Jenny McCarthy is obviously being…

As could have been anticipated, low-flow toilets didn’t flush well. You have to flush 2 or 3 times and there can’t be much paper in there when you do it.…

Oh damn! This is my district! David Price is an absolute champion for everything I care about and his office is very responsive. We have a lot to be proud of in him.

I know this sounds awful but I can’t wait for Rick to die. He has been the worst character and I haven’t rooted for him since season 3. Andrew Lincoln seems like a lovely person; I just can’t stand Rick. Long live Michonne.

I live in NC and our school district had to cancel school tomorrow because so many teachers have indicated that they will take the day off. We ended up with not enough staff to run the schools. I am so happy about this! So I am staying home with my kids, and thrilled that there’s been such a huge impact in my county.

This is such an excellent, excellent post. I agree that people need to be more honest about what to expect so that we don't all feel like something is wrong with us when we are not blissfully happy and dancing through fields of flowers being perfect parents because that's all anyone ever posts on facebook.

Are you serious? You're basically the pot calling the kettle black now. They're saying FU to women and gays, and you're saying FU to southern women. I was so with you until you just dissed my entire geographic area. You are as bad as the GOP. Great job.
