I think she's supposed to be a zebra? I mean, it looks like she has a tail? But the lion looks a lot less excited than she is, and that seems backwards from a true lion/zebra encounter. Maybe she is showing that it's totally safe for her to dress up as a zebra and play with the lion because it's chained up? Going…

There are men out there who are unsupportive of breastfeeding, think it's gross, or think that their wife or girlfriend's breasts are "theirs" and the baby is hogging up all the boobies. There are men out there who are fine with breastfeeding but just don't understand why their wives are girlfriends who are on…

Have you ever pumped? If somebody is in jail and the best thing they can come up with to lie about is that they need to pump their boobs every couple of hours, then LET THEM! They'll drop that lie right away. And you'll probably figure it out when they are producing bottles full of empty.

I think that's part of it, and I think it's also that women are taught to anticipate the needs of others. We're taught that we should clean things before they are brought to our attention, to be prepared with a beverage or a snack if someone might want one, etc. It's apparently part of being a good…

The worst part of this is that probably the people at the ends of the curve have a "better" understanding of whatever the topic is than the people in the middle. In school, I came up with a similar curve for how much I knew about a subject vs. how well I would do on the test. When I knew just a little bit about the…

I had a law school prof who did the same thing. Absolutely brilliant and an expert in his field. I went to talk to him about the paper I was writing for his seminar. His office was piled with books and papers, and he had bookshelves (also full and not neatly organized on a couple of walls). He walked over to a…

You wouldn't happen to be talking about Cityview, would you?

It cracked me up so much! Thanks for improving my night (I'm still at work too).

Best there/their/they're mix-up I've seen in ages!

Get out of my head! I keep reading comments and thinking "that sounds like me" or "that person gets me" and they're always from you.

I agree that buying a ridiculously expensive car just because of the status symbol or luxury brand or whatever is dumb. But this rule of not spending more than 1/10 of your gross income on a car seems a little too far the other way. I drive a lot for work. I have put over 100,000 miles on my 5 year old Toyota…

These are family, friends, your spouse—the people who love you for who you are, and the people who will be there for you during your worst times. Focus on these people. They're the only people that matter.

Stop worrying about what your wife thinks about you.

We have mildly complicated taxes (we have, at various times, had everything from college expenses to student loan interest to mortgage interest to income from a trust to capital gains to oil and gas royalties - which are not worth the the hassle, let me say!). I went to H&R Block once when we were moving right at tax…

You are right. The number of people who like doing their own taxes is only approximately zero because there are a few of us weirdos who do sort of enjoy it.

It seems like this is due not just to reduced sleep length and/or sleep quality, but to the psychological and emotional component of feeling like you have not really gotten a break from work.

I have such a love/hate relationship with wasabi. I kind of like it, but the dose has to be just right. Too much and it feels like my face is about to explode through my eye sockets and cheekbones. Too little and it's disappointing. But I do appreciate that the sensation only lasts a minute versus spicy peppers…

Email actually is my preferred method of communication. I am a very visual person and like being able to save and reference information in an old email. But I have a system of folders for certain important categories of emails and then a yearly "Archive" folder that I chuck everything else into. When my server…

Is it imperative that you do these things? What would be the consequences if the thing didn't get done? If someone else could do it and/or the consequences wouldn't be terrible if it didn't get done or wasn't done perfectly, I would suggest enforcing some parameters on the request. If the person asks you to do…

I am thankful that I have had only one cat-induced puncture wound from two fuzzy, kitty, kiddos. Boy cat was too excited about a treat and got my fingertip instead. Lots of antibacterial stuff later, and no signs of infection. They are both bitey little things when they want to be, but never to the point of…
