Me too, y’all! I love doing taxes. Before we got my married my husband had to file for an extension every freakin year. How do people live like that?

I gained 70 lbs in my pregnancy and did not have gestational diabetes. So.

All of this happened to me too. They put me on some kind of thyroid pill because my thyroid was ‘normal but not normal enough for pregnancy’ and I gained 10 pounds a month thereafter. My midwife lectured me on using a pen and paper to write down my calories (when I showed her my nutritional log in MyFitnessTracker)…

I remember a Weekly Reader story about a giant sturgeon in Lake Washington. If it’s Weekly Reader, it has to be true.

Boo hoo. I’m 38 and I’ve maybe been invited to five weddings. Sucks to be popular.

6000 linden is 24 dollars.

K. Tell that to anyone who wasn't white and upholding the patriarchy.

I'm replying because obviously this is important to you, not to get on your case. There aren't any actual students at a teaching demonstration. Teach to the hypothetical A students so you can show off the material that's still a bit engaging for jaded professors on hiring commities.

I don’t know what your field is, but in mine the A students won’t participate unless they’re challenged, and the C students don't learn anything unless it's from their peers. I think your mentor gave you good advice but framed it poorly.

I'm 38 with an MFA. I'm finally leaving academe this summer. Learn to code. If you can meet PhD reading knowledge requirements you can learn to code.

I do that (the small bladder thing) and it works like a charm. I've had assholes apologize to me for their assholery too, like excusing myself to pee snapped them back to reality or something.

I can vouch for this. My husband just didn’t pay his for years and had a 450 credit score when I met him. Six years later he’s completely rehabbed with the student loans people and normal credit.

I can't stand it when Abe and Eugene talk to each other. Like scratching two dudes down a chalkboard.

Yeah, don’t get a job in the South planning to do any thing differently or creatively solve a problem. You’ll hear “We don’t do it that way” every damn day.

No doubt. I came here to say there were vestiges of this yet in the South, in the 90s. I had to attend ballroom dancing school and cotillion. And now I’m in an open marriage, so there you go.

I love you, Pictorial.

Oh lord. Bless your heart!

I had a middle school crush on Danny Devito. I'll never live that slam book down. I feel ya, Friday.

This sounds like a situation that sucks all around.

Me and babyFace caucused for Bernie!
