I think we know the answer to that question :/

I wish I knew what specifically worked, but it just all started gelling, and he started talking about odd or puzzling words he found.

I think saying you had a miscarriage is a good way to go.

Fellow geek here! I had a student who’s been stuck reading DRA 3 or 4 for years and jumped to 20 this year! He’s started talking about the patterns he sees in words- he get annoyed by letters that make more than sound for no reason (how, show) and he’ll be all “Why? English is so weird.” Even when he couldn’t read, he…

I usually try avoidance, running and hiding, but I guess that’s not really healthy?

You should definitely put this story in your novel.

I had a similar experience, where I was late for an interview because I got into a car accident. They asked me why I was late, and were impressed that I kept it together after being in a collision, so I got the job.

Canadian police killed about 19 people per year from 2004-2014, so 19*9=171

Two words: turkey baster

This. I only told the people I’d want to talk to if I had a miscarriage. If I were to get pregnant again, I wouldn’t want a shower until I was actually holding a baby, and we were both in one piece.

It’s America. He probably had a gun he bought legally, as is his constitutional right. He wasn’t pointing a gun at anyone and he was shot in the back, so having a gun isn’t really the issue.

I found this website helpful for when I needed to get a little more “business casual.” I’d have a look at the remixable wardrobe section, because it’s all about making a small number of items appear to be a larger wardrobe, which is helpful if you have limited $ or space for clothes.

I just read MoJo’s investigation into a private prison, and holy shit.

I think part of the problem is that raising kids is a team sport, and that clashes with American ideas about individualism.

OMG. I can only imagine.

I think those days are better once it’s done, not while you’re in the middle of it. Kind of like how I look back fondly on some parts of my first year teaching, but it was hell at the time and I would never want to do it again. And I got to go home to child-free apartment every night and all weekend. At least it…

It’s been a pretty good week for women legally in the US (down with TRAP laws!) so I hope the trend continues with your judgment. Women are vulnerable in the criminal justice system from cops, bail bondsmen, CO and anywhere else there’s a power imbalance. You’re doing good and necessary work, and I send you good vibes.

I don’t really find him to be a sex symbol any more, but I would definitely hang out and watch a premier league game with him.

I did my drinking this afternoon whilst watching soccer (dark’n’stormy, cider, and a paloma-like cocktail.) Am still buzzed. Good luck on the GRE!!!

You inspire me to greatness.
