Because there's nothing wrong with being multiracial...?

And if he really were using that word as a weapon, I'd like people to explain his gay marriage bit, which crushes the "Oh dear, think of the children" crap people use to explain why gay people shouldn't be able to marry. And it is a funny sounding word, and probably was that way when it just meant "bundle of sticks".…

Oh really? Because I know a few.

I used to be very underweight, despite fighting hard to gain it. I suffered a constant barrage of eating disorder accusations and being told that "real women have curves". You can begin to imagine what that did to my self-esteem. I binge ate for a while because of what it did to me, until I felt I might be sick, but I…

Rather than putting it on the toilet paper roll, and potentially ending up with oily toilet paper, how about soaking cotton or something in some oils and putting it inside the toilet paper *holder*, not the roll? And I also recommend avoiding cinnamon oil like the plague for this considering what it does to skin, and…

Not so. A lot of people die before they ever get the chance.

I tend to take this a step further and use press and seal wrap for this.

You tell me. I own this, and not only is it cute and comfortable, it's lighter than any two piece PJs I've ever owned. http://www.victoriassecret.com/sleepwear/baby…

In a similar vein, use the hotel laundry bags to put your dirty laundry in. It keeps your dirty laundry separate from your clean laundry, makes sure you don't leave any clothes behind, and serves as a buffer between your dirty clothes and the inside of your luggage.

So you admit that what I said is true in one breath and then claim it's bullshit in the next. Wow.

The quickest way to kill a Jade Plant is to overwater it. My strong suggestion is to get a pot with a tray on the bottom that you can put water in and let the plant draw the water up as it needs it. I kept mine alive all through college only to come home after graduation and have my mother kill it by overwatering it…

Being fat among the working poor because they're working and poor is not a social myth. Not having time to cook and also not having enough money to be able to buy premade healthy food that tastes good is a thing.

Because not everybody has read it...?

Yes, lie to your children to get them to tell you the truth. And then react as your children know you will, because the reality is that what will actually make you happy is a lie. The only difference is that adults will pretend that this isn't so and children know better.

I'm a strong believer in the idea that using terms that denote species is a sign of respect. I would never refer to male human beings as "males". They are boys, men, guys, dudes even. I will always use a term that specifically indicates that they are fellow humans and worthy of my respect.

The point is that it's worth mentioning that a woman who can't breastfeed isn't giving her kid poison, the difference is minimal.

How long has she been a teacher?

Might want to add the sentence "Start at the beginning, tell me everything." It seems like your partner is not very good at figuring out what the real bottom line of a story is, so you may have to get used to hearing the whole thing. Then you summarize it after they give you the whole thing. "Oh, so he slipped on the…

People are just offering to be nice in case you do want or need something. You can say "It's alright, I've got this. Thanks for offering, but please, have fun!"
