I get that. My sister is 2 years younger than me and we had (have?) a high conflict relationship as well.

We just say that you marry someone because you love them and want them to be a part of your family. You don’t marry you’re brother/sister because they’re already part of your family. I figure that has the twin virtues of being true and also not involving discussing sex and incest with a 4 year old because you’re…

Yeah, my daughter (4) and son (7) occasionally say they’re going to marry each other because they know marriage is about love and family. When I remind them they can’t* they go back to arguing over who gets to marry my 7 year old’s best friend.

* we talk about how you marry someone because you love them a lot and want…

What I’ve read it that they’re claiming more that it was an accident, not that no contact was made.

No, the LAPD said they weren’t investigating it which is true because since it happened on a plane while the plane was airborne it’s not in their jurisdiction.

She filed for divorce because he got physical with one of the kids, a fact which is not in dispute (only the degree is in dispute) and the incident is being investigated by the FBI and LA DCFS. Under those circumstances a supervised visit seems completely standard.

According to my mom Irish American’s (which we are) were as excited about him being Catholic as they were about him being Irish American. This tracks with the huge increase of Catholics voting Democratic in 1960 (78%) and 1964 (76%) as compared to 1956 (51%) and 1968 (59%).

Every time I clean out my closet the first things to go are the few polyester things I accidentally bought and only wore once because they don’t breath.

That makes more sense!

Of not paying taxes? Yes they have. We have 5 years of tax returns from the 70's and for 2 of those years he paid no federal income tax.

I cracked up as soon as he walked out with that tie and my husband was like “WTF is so funny?”

Did you see him in the spin room afterwards? One of the reporters asked him about what he said about not paying taxes and he flat out said he hadn’t said that. WTF!?

So much this. We still have a home phone but it’s basically so that my kids can call 911 in an emergency since they’re way too little to have cellphones. If I don’t recognize the number you can leave a message.

The kids see through all the bullshit

People are always saying that about LL Bean but nothing I’ve bought from them has been high enough quality to justify the premium price and they never seem to have coupons.

Too expensive for me since they almost never have a coupon.

They actually have a fairly large selection in Plus.

I’m all about the 100% cotton sweaters. I’m allergic to wool and they’re the only place that consistently has decent quality 100% cotton sweaters.

No, they really can’t. With a lawyer and about 100 different forms you can kinda sorta kind of cobble together something close to the rights and responsibilities you would have if you got married. “Quite easily” is bullsh*t and an insult to all of the gay couples who fought for decades for the right to get married…

I actually know that it’s set up that way deliberately; my point is that setting it up that way is part of the reason police forces are inherently f-ed up.
