Guy with a Masters in Special Education and 17 years working with children with severe autism here: 1. Fuck you DeNiro, you degenerate piece of garbage. 2. The causes of autism are widely accepted as a mess of disparate factors.....the age of the father, a heightened level of testosterone in the mother, genetics ( a…

I vividly remember getting extremely uncomfortable while watching Maureen O'Hara, always a strong willed and smart woman, getting spanked by John Wayne. The fact that everyone thought it was funny, and cheered him on, and that she loved him all the more for it at the end of the movie screwed with my eleven year old…

Here you go! I just got the email announcing their web store launch this morning at 9am (!!!), so I am sure it will continue to evolve and expand. http://www.therippedbodicela.com/

It’s noodles with a present for you inside. And that present is cheese.

Uh, normal isn’t even a real thing. It’s an abstract concept that we invented to torture ourselves for having any identifying features aside from some bland, homogenized idea of average that not one single person actually is, but then, if only one person was normal then it would be more normal to be abnormal. But…

“The more I watch my kids growing up, more convinced I am that there’s much more nature, and much less nurture at work than I ever thought”

I really do think kids have their proclivities and there are certain things we’re really not responsible for. They have interests, habits and ideas of their own - and these really don’t always alogn with what we want for them. I remember reading an interview here with the mother of a girl who became a catalog model,…

Its ok but not the same without mindeemoo.

I’m buying a house! The offer was accepted last night. Our offer was the same price/terms as another, but the sellers went with me and science guy because they wanted to give the house to a young family. I'm completely over the moon. (Also stressed and terrified)

I’m from Team Dog, and we would like a word.

If I had a full “good” week all in a row I would probably fall over dead. I am just happy when we can have good days- The weirdest thing though. I let her get this puppy even though I already have two big dogs. She lost interest in him fairly fast. But now- we have ducks and the kid just LOVES these things. She is…

finally got Netflix, watched 1st 9 episodes of “Jessica Jones”, I have to admit David Tenant is very sexy in his role. Also great show.

You’re amazing.

As cliche as it sounds I learned that I am strong than I think I am. A few years old I ended up homeless after my relationship broke down due to my mental illness. I had tried to commit suicide and was living in a homeless shelter but will help of a fantastic charity and very lovely lady called Elaine I got through…

Emily is super confused by playing youtube videos of kittens. She wants them.

It is my birthday weekend and I traveled to see my bestie in the bay. We were going to visit Ikea and have In-N-Out and generally were living life and then we spun out on the freeway and almost died and it was so fucking scary and also…

Okay I’m just going to vent here:

you still going nowhere. $34 a class?? seriously?? it’s like another cult of crossfit.

Scarlett’s is much more put together and I prefer it as well, but she is also much more mature and experienced than Jennifer. I guess I just get a little mad when people say Jlaw was just a poor little rich girl whining about not making millions because that wasn’t what her open letter was about at all. It was about…

And the part where you feel extra fat, at the same time super hungry.

What bothers me is the whole idea that walking around fat or plus sized should be “inspiring”. Like, you’re so impressed that I can hold my head up high instead of cry into a package of cookies or something. I don’t need your pity or your platitudes about how I’m so “strong!” and “beautiful!” because honestly, I don’t…
