Yes, exactly! I know pregnancy shouldn’t be pathologized. But it also shouldn’t be treated as if it’s somehow physically or psychologically less taxing than an abortion.

Talking about the decision to have kids with my queer friends: “I don’t know, I know it seems like a lot of time and effort and money but the truth is we’ve just reached that point in our life where we want to start a family and grow our love, you know?”

My husband has an account with our local florist. I get flowers about twice a month and he sends them to people we know for occasions or just because. I LOVE having fresh flowers in the house and love that they represent his love. I know he spends a few hundred a month on flowers.

Please buy more flowers! From a florist, like me! There are so many cool things we can do that aren’t plain grandma bouquet (Even though that’s the most common thing) . And flowers come in sooooo many colors. Lime green and gray roses exist. Carnations come in multicolor. As do Gerber daisies.

This is one of the best mic drops I’ve ever read.

Anybody noticed it? When Black Jack offered a “better” death to Jaimie, a more “noble death” (if he lets him rape him before), he took for example the romans falling on their sword, like Brutus....

“[The trip] will create a foundational platform from which they can become goodwill ambassadors for Israel and the Jewish people, and the Covenant Journey participants will never be the same.”

So, just to be clear here - Allen West thinks that a Christian shouldn’t have to make a cake for a gay wedding, but that a Muslim person should absolutely be required to serve him alcohol? Ah, I see the standard of hypocrisy is low these days.

Ahem...I think you mean A Princess For Christmas... http://observationdeck.io9.com/my-desperate-l…

This former waitress thanks you. I never got too cranky about kid mess when a nice tip was left for me. The ones who let their kids run wild and leave fifty cents as a tip deserve to spend eternity watching reruns of Two And A Half Men.

Sounds like you’ve got it under control. My parents love to tell the story of how, at 18 months, I leaned backwards in my high chair and grabbed the waiter’s crotch. But eventually I got the hang of restaurant etiquette; these days I tip generously and I haven’t grabbed a waiter’s crotch in years.

AH! As a parent of an 20 month old... I’m terrified to bring her to any restaurant for fear of being that asshole with the kid who loves to sing “row row row your boat” at the top of her lungs CONSTANTLY. You have shown me the light! Just need to plow through it and teach her!

Servers understand that kids are likely to be disasters, though. It’s not about how rambunctious your kid is, it’s about what you do as a parent in response to it. If you’re stopping the kid from running around the restaurant at top speed and/or covering the table in ketchup art (sugar packets are fine, we understand…

“the only way she’ll learn not to be an asshole in restaurants is if I take her to eat out and teach her the rules”

It works. That’s what I did with my kids so they could learn how to be civilized and order their own food and such.

We also traveled a lot, to the point where once when we were deplaning either in/on a…

I definitely rewound the scene where we see Li'l Black Jack and giggled uncontrollably because flaccid penis is never not funny to me.

Don’t give up on that pillow fort! My schnookums and I have had a blanket fort in our bedroom for over a year. Bed, TV, handheld electronics are all inside. Our bed is comprised ENTIRELY of blankets and pillows. It’s wonderful and we sleep better on that than we ever have on anything else.

Jerry Lee Lewis, possibly? Famous musician who married his 13 year old cousin.

You are a remarkable woman and your daughter is very lucky.

Ouch. How did it all play out?
