human treasure talks to human garbage about non humans, is a treasure, makes garbage mad.

My friend was sexually assaulted at a college party one night, so her boyfriend found the guy's home phone number and called his mother in the middle of dinner to tell him what he had done.

You had never seen a person repent so fast before.

A leftover social grooming impulse?

So, my dad's first cousin was publisher of Enquirer for a while and then moved onto start Radar. You know why they never get sued? Because their fact checkers are ridiculously good at their jobs. When it comes to the Enquirer, it's all true.

Well I'm glad someone finally recognized Halloween for what it is, yet another socialist reuse concocted to trick hard working rich people in to helping the less fortunate. I've been onto that scam for years which is why instead of handing out candy I hand out pamphlets carefully explaining to the children that they…

I think being in charge of her own choice to consent or not will serve her well throughout her life. She won't be afraid to say no when she means no because her mother didn't make her become a people pleaser and do things she didn't want to do.

I come from an ethnic family, with lots of enforced touching, lots of enforced kissing of older people, lots of enforced kisses, and that's why I didn't object when my neighbor, and, on a separate occasion, his son,put their hands all over my private areas before I was even five. All because I was taught I'm supposed…

I got my first car after I graduated law school and ended up with a Nissan because I was treated similarly by a Honda dealership. I was leasing, not buying, and the sales guy straight up lied to my face about the amount of local and state taxes for leasing, telling me they were much higher than they were when I…

I am in sales, and I have male buyers trying to pull fast ones on me. All. The. Time. I put on my big girl panties and call them out on it. Immediately. It's the grade school bully thing all over again. Punching a six yr old boy worked then, and the verbal equivalent works now.

Also, can we mention WW's wedge heels? Even Xena and Gabrielle knew better.

Noteworthy tidbit gleaned from spreadsheet: "I won't have time to get showered and ready for dinner" (we were 20min early)

So, no monkey shirt, or no black kid hanger?

Now why does this premise sound SO familiar.....

Not at all. I decided I couldn't quite use it because it wasn't long enough. I loved the other story of yours that I used, though (please tell me I used another story of yours and that I'm not thinking of someone else).

I love this answer, never thought of it that way!

I know. When I was bugged about running every time my baby cried, I asked if they would have let any adult "cry it out" because they are "supposed to be sleeping through the night already"? If my husband were crying in the night for anything, I'd respond to him, and he's an adult perfectly capable of taking care of…

this breaks my heart. i just had a baby and when she cries (i know it's the hormones) there's just so much NEED there, to be picked up, loved, reassured, so much pain and so little capacity to deal with aloneness, even for short times. it's horrifying to think of so many babies and children crying like that, with no…

Fuck fired. Charge her with assault and child abuse and throw her in the slammer. (And yes, I've been a teacher and dealt with plenty of annoying kids.)
