In matters of taste one cannot be wrong.

Don't get me wrong- I am an arugula fan (had some in my scrambled eggs this morning!)- it just seemed a bit out of place, as C.A. noted.

This is surprising information. I have heard that it's addictive in a way that the regular sodas are not, because of the aspertame, but I didn't realize that people preferred that taste.

I'm kind of surprised by the arugula. It's like these guys who would come to my restaurant and order bacon, sausage, ham steak, scrambled eggs, pancakes, homefries, french toast and a diet coke. I always thought, "who are you fooling?"

Sex and chores need to be negotiated separately.

As Chris Rock said long ago, you don't get a prize for doing what you're supposed to do.

I love that about Canada, and I love that about Toronto :)

That makes me wonder about how this dynamic plays out with divorced parents; you have limited time with them, so you want it to be positive, and in some cases divorced coparents get almost competitive about being the "fun parent".

Hungry, disabled children.

This probably won't be a popular sentiment:

Upon the advice of both a psychiatrist and a pediatrician, they were forced to move the children to the home of trusted friends, who had a lot of experience with children with reactive attachment disorder.

Thank you. Do you have any links on RAD that would be helpful for folks who haven't heard of it before?

Jesus. Can this guy get any worse? Don't tell me; he eats kittens for breakfast.

I suspect that the real reason they hid their outrageous decision is that the state requires a 6 month delay, in order to try to find other solutions besides removing the child from the home. They just didn't have time for that! Plus, he runs a school, so really, he knows best.

They didn't consider the effect this would have on already abused and traumatized children because they didn't think of them as children, but vanity tokens.

So he's going to be removed from office and placed in jail on charges of child endangerment, abandonment and failure to notify the state, right? Please say it's so.

He's got that smooth, smooth sociopath skin; monsters don't stress about anything.
