I play them "with" my daughter on rainy days. We like Dark Parables as well as the Awakening and Drawn series. I used to play a ton of hogs on my own, but i started having nightmares about finding objects in big messes, so I had to cut back.

I owned cats because my apartments wouldn't let me get a dog.

I actually have my license, but I refuse to drive because I've been in 3 accidents that were my fault (with stationary objects!), and I genuinely feel my driving would endanger everyone. Some people just don't get it that I'm not going to drive under any conceivable circumstance, and actually try to get me to admit…

If your kid is doing a blind-rage-full-body-thrash, you don't want to put them in a room where they could concuss themselves off a toilet or something.

Her MTV show demonstrated that she CAN sing!

It`s not hypocritical to ask the paps to leave her alone right now if you consider her motives have always been image control and self promotion, because when she called them before they were trying to get sexy shots of her arching her back and sticking her ass out, whereas now they`re trying to get shots of her…

White tigers are, from my understanding, generally more docile than regular tigers, due to the inbreeding. They were (are?) sought after by circus trainers because they`re easier to train.

They look like they`d itch and cause bum crack sweat.

Regardless of being fathered as via statutory rape, the resultant child would be legally entitled to child support, but I think usually the child support would be paid by the boys parents/guardian until he turned 18.

I was, for the longest time, really ashamed of my first, because he had a very small peen (which I should have expected, because buddy was so, so, short), was trying very hard to be punk while living in a quaint village in 2001 and I was under the impression that he was not so bright. However!: He corrected my idiot…

Yes, of course you're right. This is just an anecdote that I didn't bother to fact check before i posted. It happened I think a couple years ago now, and it didn't even occur to me that I might be recalling the details incorrectly, and thus making my anecdote irrelevant.

So I've been informed. The artist in question is my sister's boyfriend, and I could have sworn she said it was Disney he was submitting artwork to, but since his stuff was turned down and he's shy, I didn't probe for more details at the time. It's been a while, so I guess I remembered it wrong.

A phone call? and maybe my daughter will glue some googly eyes to a pinecone or a rock or something for her? She knows I'm broke, and it would infuriate her if I spent money on something non-essential like gift giving.

Ah. I suppose I should have known this.

The strange thing about this is that I actually know a very talented comic artist who was invited by Disney to submit some drawings for the last Madagasgar film's promotional material, and his work was rejected on the grounds that it didn't capture the the "spirit of the characters".

Useful presents are the best! Some moms genuinely don't want frippery (as my own mom would put it) My mom hates it when we spend money on her in general, but her all time favourite mothers day gift I ever got her was 2 bottles of folgers instant coffee (the only coffee she drinks, and they don't carry it at her local…

Colin isn't so bad (unless your family was planning to pronounce it "Colon"). I was going to be "Josiah", and those weirdos I call parents were going to nickname me, not "Joey", because that would be sane, but "Sire". It didn't cross their minds that I might be a girl.

Thanks. If it's boring that's actually a relief to me, and my personal style oscillates between gym clothes and Mary Poppins-esque ensembles (not chic), so you've given me some helpful hints and alleviated some anxiety.

So I'm an adult (29), who has just been invited to another adult's 32nd birthday party. This concept is foreign to me, and I don't know what to expect. It's my college best friend's birthday, and we were party girls, but I haven't "partied" in like 8 years and I'm not a super social person anymore. So 1: what does one…

You need to consider the money you'd save by having your own washer and dryer and not having to commute. I could find an apartment the same size for over a hundred less than I currently pay but less conveniently located, for instance, but parking for my husband and bus passes for my daughter and I would negate those…
