How many kids who use pacifiers are using them nonstop, though? Obviously a kid doing a single thing all day long is problematic no matter what it is, because that child is not working on other skills.

Oh for Christ's sake. What about if we employ a paci while we're holding the baby and also making burnt offerings to him on the altar of perfect mommyhood? My son prefers only the purest all-white sheep.

What?! How could anyone hate peanut butter? Did they taste it straight out of the jar or was it accompanied by the appropriate accoutrements (ie jam or chocolate or pad thai)?

I bet that would actually be quite tasty if it was a grilled cheese sandwich with the ham and a warm slice of pineapple pressed into it...the ketchup, not so much. Bleah.

Oh my GOD you just sent shivers up my spine with that ketchup soup description. SO GROSS.

Make a pie crust with them sometime. http://blog.cookingwithtraderjoes.com/2010/02/09/chocolate-mousse-pie-with-joejoes-crust.aspx

Western Washington meetup, imo.

I think ignorance is bliss in this case. Candy corn is...a little disgusting triangle of fake honey flavor and barf.

Charles DeLint does awesome "urban fantasy" (ie fantastical creatures, city, or sometimes country-but-present-day-ish settings).

This image always makes me chuckle in an incredibly pained way, but I do take issue with the wording a bit - the problem is that many folks really do think we "killed them all" (or most, anyway). While there's no argument that what white people did in many parts of this country was unabashed genocide, it erases the…

Just like minstrel shows made people seek out more substantial information on black people, right?

Forsyte Saga? Really? The lead actress had like half of a facial expression.

"- Forms a better emotional bond with parents (I'm the dad, all of my kids have great attachments to me as well as the mom because you can pump breast milk and I would be the one to prepare the babies for feeding and do other activities with them throughout the day)."

Right? My uterus would be closed for business if my husband pulled that shit. He gets home from work and immediately takes over baby duties until the baby is down for the night, and on the weekends it's 50/50. If we didn't have that arrangement I would go batshit.

I love that. She's constantly playing it like she's SO put-upon. I just LOVED that phone conversation she had with her mom about her good grades. "Guess what grades I got, mom?" "What did you get?" "I said GUESS!!!" Perfect epitome of her shitty attitude. Or her response to her mother proposing that she visit for…

The mosquitoes are HORRIBLE. Like really, really bad and aggressive and huge.

That's sad.

It's very reminiscent of how she spent so, so long getting Leah's room ready the last time she moved (it took like a month or something), and the room was basically unaltered except for a few toys and a bed, which most people would get done in an hour or three if it meant their kid could come home. It's really…
