I, for one, feel #soblessed to live in this great nation that has everything so figured out and fine that we can focus our energies on protecting this endangered holiday.

I wonder how Mizzou feels about this, as this could very well become a factor when athletes are faced with choosing between Mizzou and a school in another state.

Like, I get it. Preserve the magic or whatever. But you’re mad at me because I don’t want to lie to my kid and use some narcissistic fictitious man to manipulate them? Cool.

That sounds amazing! I'm on the other side of the country but racing out that way is on my list as my old college roommate has also gotten into running and lives in DC. Thank you for telling me about this one!

We don’t do Santa, because honesty is super friggin important to me. I’m honest with my kids about everything. They enjoy learning about Santa and watching Christmas movies, understanding that it is all pretend. It’s super frustrating though to be surrounded by people who do Santa with their kids (which is fine!)— who…

I have! Usually for 5ks— I would love them to do that sort of thing with a longer race (13.1 is my distance of choice).

Yeah, it would be helpful to have this before you get into the pain cave. Deep in, I don't think I'd even notice creepy ghost gal.

I would actually love for one of my races to have folks dressed up like all our favorite horror movie villains to pop out at every aid station.

So much this. In my high school, the thespian club was the largest because we took anyone and everyone. You came to a meeting and immediately had people. We were all the weirdos and anyone’s quirk was a strength to some aspect of a project we were working on. We all had purpose, and we all had a family with one…

This is Ruth Bader Catsburg. She is the best. Hugs to you.

Omg I love your pup. I want all the snuggles.

The fact that Hillary was able to maintain composure in this scenario proves she does not represent me.

Beanie babies. And I hoarded those suckers with tag protectors and all. It has been therapeutic passing them on to my kids and seeing the tags ripped off immediately and some have been lost to the dogs.

Does that make it a bonerable discharge? Makes sense for a group of se(a)men.

I think if I were in the physical presence of Amy Poehler, I would just weep. And everyone would feel uncomfortable.

Agreed. I'm mostly referring to the friends who can keep in touch, but only do so to talk about themselves.

I know she can leave work at work. That doesn't mean she can't make the best stink face when he's ranting all the terrible.

I wish cameras were allowed, so we could see RBG’s face while he was making all those remarks.

It is. You can come sit with me and read all of the “brag-dates” (updates! On our perfect family!) in the whiniest of voices while we drink wine.

In the social media age, if the only time you're trying to connect with me is to get my address so you can send me your picture perfect Christmas card, I'm not your friend, I'm your audience. And I'm going to pass on that one.
