THEY LIVE WITHOUT CHEESE. That is horrid.

There is no way on god’s earth that Madonna works out to the extent she does without some serious salt-replenishment. It’s not biologically possible for human beings, no matter their age or how good they look. I don’t know who in this unholy trinity of mother-son-and-media is lying about that shit, but somebody is.

I don’t know why all these health nuts seem so entirely clueless about the fact that one diet does not fit all people. Honestly, if you know so goddamn much, why don’t you know *that*?

Madonna sounds very like my mother / birthing unit, who is a horrendous health freak who banned salt and sugar on “health” grounds. Skip forward 30+ years, I’m in hospital (yet again) and have extremely low blood pressure (yet again). Last three visits I’ve been told to up my salt intake to get said blood pressure up,…

Stop peeping on me!

I’m with her except for the dairy. As a Midwesterner, I don’t know how I’d survive. Those kids must have perpetual heartburn.

We got our son a refurbished iPhone when he was 10. It was cheaper to it that way then getting a straight cellphone. He's been shockingly responsible with it as opposed to my husband who's destroyed several smartphones.

My asshole cat will pee on any laundry left out on the floor or anywhere she can reach. It has to be hung up or in a hamper. That cured us of leaving laundry out! Want her? I'll sub her out for 6 month contracts. ;)

Don’t worry, Rocco, just wait until you’re 24 and you can lie in bed on a Sunday morning, eating three different types of cake for breakfast and resenting the fucked up relationship with food you have as a result of your mother’s crazy diet restrictions. Or something.

“hard-core macrobiotic diet,”

Wait, am I reading this correctly? They’re asking for LESS money than they did originally?

Well, a number of countries have a legal civil partnership status that you can register for. I live part-time in both Belgium and the Netherlands and they both have it- gives you some financial rights, hospital visitation, etc.

OH MY GOD THIS IS WHY MY MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE BOYS TO THE YARD

That is one of those phrases that will be hanging on the air like a rancid fart when I finally snap.

YES!
Seriously think if these oversights were fixed, marriage rates would totally *drop*. Alas the wedding planner industry probably has far reaching lobbyists. *sigh*

a household really should refer to any cohabitating group of people who have elected the other person to have rights of will/finances in circumatances of death or injury.

I should be able to nominate a FRIEND for that, if I so choose. If we both pay rent or both pay towards the same bills, we shouldn’t really need to…

This just argues that marriage should be for children.

Wow, I read Kamp Dush as Damp Kush and was super confused for a moment.

I’ve gotten the feeling that he doesn’t actually want to be president. Maybe he just needs someone to tell him it’s okay to follow your own dreams.

I know people who have philosophical objections to marriage. And then there are those people who can't legally get married. There are presumably other reasons, too, but those are the ones right off the top of my head.
