Your mom's a dude.

Middle school kids are inherently annoying (but with crowning moments of awesome thrown in). They will find a new thing to do, though this has just been made more appealing.

I'd consider brownies before smoking. I have asthma, so ew smoke, and also BROWNIES.

I visited my sister of the summer. That was my face the whole time I was there. I swear her boyfriend can't go 20 minutes without lighting up.

I am glad I am not the only one who thinks pot smells foul.

I really wish she had been allowed to do archery for her talent.

My husband's cat spends hours just sitting on the arm of the couch next to him, interspersed with head rubs and this thing where she kind of pats him with her widdle bitty cute paw. I think she's pretty domesticated.

Some of these questions remind me of things asked by my 8th graders, who are forgiven on the basis of being 13. Adults? No excuse!

The quote referred specifically to her/their athletic career(s). A "regular" career is one thing, but athletes have a pretty short shelf life. Missing a year due to pregnancy and recovery could completely end your career.

I made a christening gown from a wedding dress once! In a week! I think this is a wonderful way to reuse the dress.

Does this video make anyone else cry, or is it just me?

Roommates- set up expectations ASAP, especially as relates to sleepy time. IME it's better to set up "quiet time in room starts at x o'clock and overhead light off at y o'clock" pretty early on, and stick to it.

Yeah, my Akita was pretty atypical in her personality. My uncle breeds them, and when she was a baby she was always whining to be carried while he cleaned the play area- hence, he gave her to my family with three kids who would snorgle her to no end. He has shibas now (and also Akitas), and they are very similar to…

The wonderful thing about Buffy was that she would NEVER get tired of the luvs. Also, I trained her not to give kisses if you told her "no kisses." It was her only trick. I've heard of the shikoku, and am interested, because honestly I think shibas are almost too small (grow up with a 100lb dog that took a lot of…

And here is Buffy's kind-of-cousin, Bosley aka Pot Roast:

Yes, yes I do. They are dogcats. Here is a picture of a dog that looks remarkably like my Buffy (I don't have any onlie pictures of her):

DO WANT!

I love Snow White's dress. Or, more specifically, giant red coat cloak thing.

Because Rep. Tammy Duckworth:

He just sort of dabs it on with a cotton ball. Smells like salad for a few minutes, then the smell goes away.
