Leaving a longterm relationship were you own a house, property, joint bank account together when you aren’t married, is messy as hell. I saw lots of times among unmarried gay friends in the past. Sometimes a divorce is “cleaner”

NEED MORE BACKSTORY

My youngest is eighteen, but it doesn’t seem like that long ago that we were baby supply shopping. I thought there was a bunch of superfluous junk available in 1997, but wow...it’s almost overwhelming nowadays.

This is why, after having our own BabyStu, we started a list of what was useful and what was total BS. Our friends routinely request it for themselves or as a buying guide for others.

Meanwhile in Germany, there were two mass shootings within the last five years, compared to about two thousand in the US in the same time frame.

She was also the first female partner of her old law firm, and a lifelong advocate for the rights and safety of children, often working pro bono in child advocacy cases while working in other areas of law. Whenever people accuse her of being cold, or lacking progressive cred, I think about how progressivism is…

Likability is a big reason W won in 04 and was so close to Gore in 2000 to where we had the shenanigans. Charisma is sadly a factor and Americans decided they wanted the guy they’d rather have a beer with. Frankly I wish his presidency had been a lesson about that but the GOP are all determined not to seem smart or…

Name one GOP candidate that is likable? You can’t. Yet nobody seems to worry about that.

but seriously, we are all goddamned ADULTS! Our own bedrooms should be a fucking perk of being an adult.

Off topic, but we need more Carol Burnett gifs on this site.

Confused my dad with this when I was accepted at UIC - he thought it was U of C at first.

When she’s in I-bee-tha is she known as Par-ith?

Some of us at UIC were a little worried the FBI didn’t know the difference and that the treat was really against us.

To be clear: the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago are entirely different institutions but both are involved in the story.

Sandwich, bah. I have already celebrated the most important day of the year: Pie For Breakfast Day.

Praise God I’m not the only one who feels that. I can’t stomach him and hate his movies.

Unconfirmed.

I am a skeptical person by nature - but I actually believe the reason that reporter was not allowed in. Every station in the surrounding Chicago area had a representative there for this press conference. Some had more than one plus cameras. I bet it was a packed room. I doubt the guy checking the reporter’s…

This seems like a stretch. Did the person at the door know exactly what he looked like and who he was? Also, Brandon Smith sounds like a very common name so how did they know he was THE Brandon Smith? Regardless of why they didn’t let him in, this whole story is terrible and the cops involved suck.
