I wish this wasn’t true but it sounds not too far off. 

Well just think of how it would impact this young man’s future.

My now-husband and I had multiple conversation about long-term future and even covered uncomfortable topics like money. We knew we were headed towards marriage to the point that he knew I’d prefer to say yes to him rather than a ring. (Also, he’s super indecisive, so if I had insisted a proporsal with a ring I’d…

There are three season of Girl Meets World? 

I have wondered if her long-term state interfered with puberty or menstruation in particular, so it wasn’t strange for this patient to not menstruate. While I’m not a medical professional, my time getting treated for infertility has opened my eyes to the many, many ways the menstrual cycle can get thrown out of whack. 

Sounds like a workers comp claim in the making. Hot cheese can cause some nasty burns, especially on a “sausage”.

I was really hoping that the gender reveal lasagne would be whether or not the lasagne had sausage in it. While I would normally take melted cheese over buttercream any time, the odds basically even out if the cheese has been dyed. This goes even more so because gender reveal parties are ridiculous. 

I think it is a reaction against that increasing acceptance and understanding, but it is shoved through Pinterest and Instagram. These things are always pink vs blue, touchdowns or tiaras, and any number of retro gendered BS. 

Well, maybe he couldn’t stand out enough from the shouty people on cable news, so he sought out the bastion of calm, collected discourse that is a reality gameshow. 

I know it isn’t good for our society generally, but what if the liar president gets taken down by not-fully-true “facts”?

Yes! I saw the end of an ad for it and had to look it up because surely I misheard...Nope. It’s true: https://www.cnn.com/2019/01/13/us/anthony-scaramucci-big-brother-cbs/index.html

This is why I carry nail clippers in my purse. My kiddo falls asleep on the way to daycare. I just hop in the backseat for a quick clipping while he naps. 

Anthony Scaramucci has already tumbled onto Celebrity Big Brother. Remember him? I know. It is so hard to keep track.

I am sure that no one wants to go anywhere near that line first. I’m a former attorney and did all of my work either for or directly against government agencies. I can truly imagine the administrative and political fuckery going on there right now.

This is incredibly useful background info. It doesn’t make me ok with what happened to this woman, but clearer with the context. 

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed that. I’m the same age Polly would have been and lived a few towns away from her, so her kidnapping left a deep impression on me. 

A friend in high school was obsessed with all things Kevin Smith. Typing out that sentence came so naturally, I barely gave it a second thought. It probably explains a lot about his lack of relationships. 

Like the back of a volkswagen?

I’m so on the very of konmari-ing our book collection but the only thing that is stopping me is that my parents and my partner’s parents are of the mind expressed above, “How will people judge you and know you’re smart if you don’t have books lining every wall?” Both sets of parents have walls upon walls of books in…

Honestly, if she was defending him (short of slandering his accusers), I’d give her a pass. I generally give the children of monsters a pass if they aren’t involved in their parent’s monstrosity or monsters in their own right (eg the 3 eldest Trump children vs Tiffany and Barron).
