My husband started his IT career in the military. People are so, so stupid, and of course they use their work emails. Even worse, their work computers. From a security perspective, people being fucking morons is the biggest risk there is.

The only interesting thing about Scott Walker is his incredible ability to hide his bald spot. He puts every Hollywood star who thought they knew how to work their angles to shame.

Exactly. After a certain point, you get nothing done. The idea that your presence, whether it is sitting at your desk surfing Gawker or responding to a bullshit email at 11pm or sitting through an endless, aimless conference call, is more important than your actual work is the most corrosive thing in the white collar…

And then they’ll drop their opposition to Obamacare so that all the kids with heart defects that often accompany Down Syndrome won’t be uninsurable from being born with preexisting conditions.

I think they know, but don’t care. They are counting on the vague familiarity most people have with the highest functioning adults with Downs, the actors and spokespeople, maybe a kid from school.

One of my cousins is severely disabled. Her parents have been very successful financially, and she wants for nothing. I cannot imagine how she will handle it when her parents are gone even though her basic needs will no doubt be met and then some under her sibling’s supervision. I could see myself with a disabled…

Well, since I did end up working professionally for an adjacent cause, in my case at least, it was not discouraging. I was thinking more specifically about protests and the large contingent of younger women they rely on to draw attention.

When I was in college, more than 10 years ago now, I went to a couple big marches in DC. The marching and waving signs was fun. Less fun was listening to the speeches from much older women that really came off as “if you weren’t there in the illegal days, you will never understand.” I know what they were trying to…

Is that when they argue about it at a salon?

Translated into the parlance of our times, that means dick pics, right?

For my mom, probably the time she called the house where I was attending a New Year’s party because she thought maybe I had taken the new emergency cell phone into NYC instead.

Sometimes. Other times the glass is perhaps too full and I would really like to put it down and go to bed.

I think of condoms as boner sustainers rather than bonerkillers.

Fair enough. It made sense at the time because I never got one again after he was treated for, as I recall, a minor case of bladder stones caused by infection. Perhaps it was poorly described to him and further deteriorated when he explained it to me.

It’s been a long time, but I think he got diagnosed with a minor case of bladder stones, which they blamed on this infection he never knew he had. I never got another infection again; it’s been about six years, and now we are married. I am not a medical professional, so I’m not sure exactly how it works, but I…

The only time I was repeatedly getting UTIs it turned out my boyfriend had an asymptomatic one he gave to me three or four times. Worth looking into if you have a monogamous partner.

It doesn’t. Has there ever been a theater shooting where the guy brought a bag? Not that I recall. The Batman shooter used the emergency exit. It’s nonsense through and through.

I didn’t have a problem with the first post labor poop. They load you up on stool softeners, and I think the secret is when you feel the urge, you get on with it as fast as possible. A lot of people are afraid, but nothing good will come of holding it.

My husband very helpfully informed the nurse who was asking me about what I had been able to do in the bathroom post labor that I had pooped and peed (thanks, epidural) during delivery. I wouldn’t have known otherwise, and he still has sex with me.

I’m glad you were able to solve your problem. For the ladies who are clenching real hard right now, you can have some pretty gnarly things happen and be fine. I had a similar labor, and I think I was encouraged to push a little too enthusiastically because the nurses were really surprised when all of a sudden a baby…
