That’s just me but if I had to decide between having my daughter go door-to- door and see God knows what at strangers houses or go in front of any legal business to sell her cookies, I’d pick the business.  

Girl scouts park in front of all the local grocery stores around here. Usually without any girls in sight. Not to mention the cubicle sales without any girls present. Just give her her dues. She actually did something rather than the super moms that usually do it for the kid.

I ditched all my friends when I got married because I was Meghan’s age, and, after 15+ years of participating and paying for showers, weddings, and bachelorette parties, and loads of emotional support when the proposals hadn’t happened yet, none of my friends did shit for me when it was my turn. Turns out they all got…

There are different wards and levels in a mental treatment facility. It’s not like she’s going to The Cuckoo’s Nest with Nurse Ratched.

The survivor of this brutal attack might finally feel safe.

Right. It’s good you made exceptions for yourself though, I think that’s the only realistic way of doing it

I struggle with whether completely cutting off all spending is the way to go for a short time, or if I just need to be more mindful all of the time. Similar to “dry” months with drinking—does foregoing alcohol for one month really do anything if you go back to your habits the next?

I think it’s that,and because it’s on the mouth for so long. I was thinking back,and TBH, I don’t remember kissing any family members on the mouth (maybe my mom when I was real young),and definitely not for an extended period of time. But if that’s their thing,have at it I guess.

the best movie Disney ever made, Atlantis.

Why is it transactional?

I do understand what you’re saying and thoroughly appreciate it. I guess I can understand SJP’s feelings in away because of a personal experience I had when I studied abroad in Spain for a summer. There were a group of us who did everything together - studied, roomed, traveled the country. I was really happy to have…

I might have partially estranged myself from my parents in my twenties because they constantly put me down for wanting free time, a hobby, and a functional (for me) amount of sleep. They thought I should be busy, high achieving, and miserable not happy.

Releasing the trailer right after the State of the Uniom was perfect marketing.

It’s a matter of convenience, not flavor. Hummus and baby carrots are my sad desk lunch when I didn’t have time to make a sad desk salad.

I don’t believe her, but it’s OK. No woman or man wants to be known as a person who shagged Donald Trump.

VH1 was making documentaries on musicians while MTV was doing reality shows. It’s not hard to create music based video content.

I agree, they aren’t right for each other and he should just move on. The fact they go for days without talking is probably the biggest indicator that he shouldn’t have proposed.

The best tactic my family had for teaching the dangers of alcohol and importance of limits was seeing how people I otherwise respected would act when drunk.

Isn’t there scientific evidence* that it reprograms the receptors in their brain, as a teenager’s brain is undergoing major reconstruction up until the age of 22, so it makes them more likely to crave more alcohol? That’s why I wouldn’t give it to them.

... the research does not indicate the amount of alcohol supplied by parents, or the context in which it is given. (Was it a flute of champagne to celebrate Mom’s promotion or was it five Jägerbombs?...)
