Yeah. This house feels pretty standard issue southwest. 

Fantastic! I’m so jealous, but it’s good to have goals. 

Firstly, can we see pictures of the tea hutch? It sounds amazing.

I want them but I don’t want to clean them.

Yup. When people talk about throwing parties where everyone gathers in the kitchen while they cook almost never happens that way because it’s not practical. Also, most people show up hungry. It also sounds awful to me because it means having to maneuver around people who are chatting. Even if they’re “helping” they…

Yeah. Waterfall counters say “Whatever, I just want it too look expensive.”

I’m an admin for a huge FB parents group that makes no secret of its liberal political orientation in addition to being pro-vaccines and a bunch of other things that have been weirdly politicized over the years. We just banned a member and then reported them to the FBI because they posted about participating in…

Wow. I know some intense A types, but nothing like that. A friend contacted me for advice on all the right stuff to read and decide on before the baby was born. Now, I get wanting to feel prepared and organized before a kid comes in and turns your life upside down. It’s hard to read parenting books when you’re…

Also, I’ve heard that her stuff is just Ferber and Happiest Baby regurgitated.

I’ve heard great things about Precious Little Sleep, if you’re looking for a class. I worked with someone who is local to my community (so, not a Trumper) but does most of her work virtually, even before the pandemic. We had great results. Not cheap but effective and flexible. Also, after 7 months of not getting more…

Yup. I worked in a drug court and had a client who was a long time drunk. Serious, intense drunk but nothing else. He was Polish and loved to eat these tea cakes that were basically poppy seeds barely held together with batter. He ate half of one before a drug test and failed, due to his eating habits. Had he not been…

Writing a book? She isn’t writing shit. Something will get published with her name on it, but nothing that she actually wrote.

Yup. I thought of viennetta for that.

I’d be curious to see how far that “trying” actually gets them or they just don’t have the right experience for any jobs that have similar pay and benefits. 

Seriously. Show her how to do it and then grab a copy of The Way Things Work and you two can pore over the physics involved in what she just did. 

Rebel Wilson actually sued and had to prove that her family were in fact bogans and she won. So no, I wouldn’t think it’s the same.

This should have more stars. I appreciate the time and energy that went into sharing it because it is so on the nose.

I think at least one of her parents is Spanish but I think more of it is about her being Hilary from Boston instead of Hilaria from Majorca. If she hadn’t laid it on so thick, no one would care exactly *how many* times she visited Spain as a kid but she created whole tapestries of weird ass stories about how very…

Not every religion is Christian Scientists. In fact, there are plenty of actual scientists who are religious and feel no contradiction between the two. Apparently, astrophysicists are the most religious/spiritual.

It bothers me especially because they basically make these proclamations based on a passing understanding of American evangelical Christianity. Everything else in their eyes, including entirely different religions, is exactly the same and other religions have the same theology minus the Jesus-y bits (Christian superses…
