Yeah, I get that. Sometimes, though, teenagers think they know everything and will do what they want. Short of quitting her job and sitting in my classes, there wasn’t much else my mom could have done. Not saying that the mom in this story did enough, or that every parent does the most, just that predators are going…

I wish I had been smarter. Thankfully, I think my mom pushing so hard made it easier to walk away in the end (and meeting someone I could actually bring home), but it took me a long time - like a decade - to really see that relationship for what it was. I’m just lucky it didn’t end up pregnant.

The steak! I kept rereading those sentences - “his fork with my last piece of steak.” Once, fine. Again? You ordered incorrectly, I’ll cut you with my steak knife if your fork crosses this plate again.

When I was 17, I had a 27 year old “boyfriend” I met at my first job. My mom “shut that shit down” so to speak to the best of her abilities. She threatened him, forbade me from seeing him, picked me up at school, made me get another job. He bought me a cellphone that I kept hidden and I would sign myself out of school…

Amazon Prime also offers Prime Reading, which includes e-versions of the current issue of many magazines.

I’m over kellyanne the con. So, the more important item I derived from this: Jake Tapper can get it.

We’ve also started talking more and more about getting a gun. The majority of our neighborhood is armed to the teeth - they raffled an AR-15 away at the super bowl party we went to on Sunday. When the Guatemalan oranges at Walmart at $27 each, shits going to get real.

My husband finally admitted that for the longest time he would think I was upset with him because I ended texts with punctuation. He said it seemed so final or like I was shutting him down. Punctuation the new Restimg Bitching Face.

So this is why I spend more time trying to find an associate than actually shopping st Macy’s. The more you know.gif

I agree with this sentiment. By her very nature, everyone knows where she stands. People on the right were already boycotting halftime as soon as they saw her name. The people she was supposed to “stick it to” weren’t even watching. They were holding a Pray for Trump Twitter Rally (no, really.)

They thought she was a lady because she wasn’t Beyoncé.

Oooh thanks for the tip! I get that after awhile being Tonya Tryhard would be exhausting, especially when you’re as talented as she is - and she more than deserves the opportunity to evolve as an artist - but I could totally see this being true.

I really hope I’m wrong, but I think the most we’ll get is a Born this Way singalong. The whole Joanne/Budlight/Dive bar tour makes me think she’s reaching for a...”broader”audience.

Whoever brought up red wine and pamplemousse on a thread last night, BLESS YOU.

My son is a curly, and in the mornings I wet his hair then spritz in some detangler or a teensy amount of conditioner on the ends know to frizz (currently Paul Mitchell detangler because I got a sample from somewhere, but it’s amazing). If it’s super cold outside I’ll blow dry it on a low setting (low heat and low…

That is an objective fact.

😘 I had so many grandiose plans pre-baby that I couldn’t wrap my brain around once he was actually born. When the fog finally lifted I was just grateful we made it to the other side!

My intention was to turn mine into a christening gown, but PPD makes the best laid plans turn to shit. So I like to throw it on to wash dishes every once in awhile. It’s a fun way to remind my husband that I’m crazy.

Whenever I ask my husband for something (and I’m talking like can you change the channel or can we get a cat), and he declines I ask him why he won’t put my love on top.
