Who would have thought a presidential debate would have required a warning about sexual content?

I’m almost done with a bottle of Spanish white. I will be moving to red then more red. I actually bought one of those wineglass/ sippy cups for tonight.

My kids were so bothered that a grown up would force people into hugs and kisses (we didn’t tell them the pussy stuff ). We are big into body autonomy and consent at our house, in age appropriate ways.

I have an 8 and 12 year old. They watched the first debate. We’ve told them that Trump was recorded saying really bad things about women especially about kissing them without their permission and grabbing them. That alone horrified them. We warned them that this debate will be different and if things get too gross, we…

I think it would be on a state by state basis. In some states, there’s a deadline to withdraw.

And he uses assault. He gets points for making that clear. This isn’t just Trump being an asshole. This is Trump saying he assaults women by kissing them and grabbing them. A lot of people and news outlets are sticking with the lewd and gross and sidestepping the assault part.

Yes. A thousand times yes. I hate hate hate that real women bullshit. My older lady body is no more or less real than a nubile 20 yo model. Using “real” is just a dodge to avoid talking harmful unrealistic beauty standards.

Ah, I wasn’t sure on the particulars of the format. Thanks for the heads up.

I want one of the older, white Rust Belt dudes he’s been after to ask about his Chinese steel purchases. Up on the Iron Range of MN, those voters are LIVID since this came out.

God, I hope he does. If only because I will win $100 from my husband.

If you’re lactose intolerant, they have amazing non-dairy ice “cream”. The peanut butter cookie tastes as good as premium ice cream.

Mine offered. The ironic thing is that five or so years later, I need an IUD for non-BC reasons.

Penzy’s has terrific spices and herbs across the board. Their blends are great, too.

My husband did the same. It’s been awesome.

I used to work for a woman who thought Holmes was a model for young women in business and referenced her all the time. Given how horrible my boss was and how many short-sighted decisions she made, doesn’t surprise me that Holmes turned out to be a fraud. Like attracts like sometimes.

Yeah, it’s not very well done comment but I had to take a call at work. I just find it ironic that the state is willing to entertain damaging a growing industry (craft beer) and the tourism industry for a less profitable industry (mining). I meant to also qualify that the mining benefits a certain sub-section of the…

Craft brewing in MN brings in almost as much money as mining. But mining interests may be allowed to pollute the water sources for said beer in the interests of mining jobs for predominately white males.

I had to have weekly ultrasounds during my second pregnancy. I had to go the hospital for one - paid about $1000 for a test that was free at my doctor.

He was voted the Dumbest Representative in Congress.

An LL Bean Wool Ragg sweater. I bought it in the mid-90's at the store in Freeport for $50 or $60 (maybe?). I splurged and got one with a pattern instead of the standard solid color. It’s lasted me through three years of college ( in Iowa), law school in IA and CO, and eventually 16 Midwest winters. Still looks brand…
