She will probably lose lots of sleep over your assessment of her character of one five minute outburst in the course of her life. I better not tell her.

It was more how hard it is being a parent and how much having a cat changed her life. Didn't change cat lady's body, work schedule or work - SIL left lucrative job to spend more time with the kids, what she drives - SIL sold her beloved convertible, etc etc.

I bet you'd make a great mom.

It's harder to convince Doctors to spay and neuter human children.

Of course it does. In fact she likes to firebomb adoption agencies in her spare time and stays up late at night tracking down children on facebook who are adopted and tell them that their real parents didn't want them.

Most men weigh a lot more than you and you will get shit faced twice as fast. It sucks that there are guys out…

Jindal has to try twice as hard to prove he's just like the voters in his state and that seems to spur on some of the crazier pols in Louisiana. It's like they are doubling down in the face of social change like marriage laws evolving elsewhere.

Prison usually makes people worse unfortunately but at least you can sleep more soundly during his sentence.

My saying it's not my bag is not the same as me not letting them do it.
