It's not 1993 anymore, a home computer and internet access aren't luxuries. What's next, will you begrudge her owning her own refrigerator? Is having electricity ok? What about a phone?

My husband works for UPS and worked 28 hours between Monday and Tuesday. He's been absolutely swamped at work (and he's a manager!) and just didn't have enough employees.

VAB, I am sorry you are getting in the neck for making what reallyis an empathetic comment. Of course people can feel sick and horrified by what has happened and one doesn't need to be a parent to get it. For me personally ,the love I feel for my baby took me completely and utterly by surprise. I knew I would love…

I get your pain, we were considered medically infertile after three year of trying with no sign of a pregnancy. When my son was born, he almost died during birth and had to be in NICU for a while before we could take him home. I wasn't allowed to touch him for the first 24 hours. So yeah, I get your pain. But getting…

It's not "holier than thou" at all - I know that something clicked at the birth of my daughter - I held something in my hands more precious than anything I ever thought possible: more than parents, siblings, wives, lovers, dogs, god, country, anything. And things which tickle that raw nerve... things that make my…

I get what you're saying. I'm sorry people took what you said and used it to slam you and parents and general. But I think what you're saying is some degree of what I feel when I see stories like this. Before I had kids, I would read things like this and maybe still be shocked, sickened, and horrified. But now that I…

God help the poor mother of this child.

Before you have kids you can read shit like this and think "that's awful" and then go about your day. After you have kids, you read shit like this and it settles in the pit of your stomach and follows you around all day. :( Poor little guy.

This is also my rationale exactly.

I look at it that way too! It's entertainment- I like to think about what I would do if I won. I'm not spending my last dollar on the lottery, or counting on it for retirement/to pay my bills, etc. It's part of my entertainment budget.

That's the way I always looked at it!

Is this the war on Christmas?

No, it's really fucking easy to tell.

I keep hearing people say "Well, I don't even make $15! Why should fry cooks ask for it when I don't even get it for my job?"

A student my s.o. is working with is dating someone who says he's a Navy Seal. Who's based in Boston and living in an apartment. (Y'know, like you do.) He blew her off for a date last week and was out of contact for four days, and when he finally called her he let her know he'd been flown overseas on A Mission He…

Thank you so much for redacting those texts.

Wait. Just...wait. "Monica" Warhol?

The only sandwich I'd make that smug-looking fuck would consist entirely of knuckles.

Let me know when there are Iphone Spanx.

what a waste of time. Do what makes you feel sexy, fine. Porn is porn. It will never be a feminist act. It is fucking on camera for the sake of horny people's (paying) watching pleasure. No matter how un-mainstream you try to make it... that's all it will ever be- fucking on camera, usually for money. Doesn't matter…
