My husband knows someone who was on the show and she said they didn’t do any of the work - they were essentially actors and were only there when they shot the scenes for the show.

I have one of those urban myth self potty trainers. My first kid, I got pressured to start too soon - it was a nightmare, she regressed and despite starting when she was around 22 months, she was not potty trained until she was nearly 3. So with kid 2 I went the other direction. When she was a few months older than 2…

A therapist can be a great help. If you have some friends you can talk to or just email, helps too. Hell, you can email me if you want! It might/will get worse before it gets better, but it will get better.

You will feel hope, I promise. Especially if you are coming out of an awful marriage. I was there 6 years ago. Right after I decided to end the marriage, my mother nearly died but miraculously recovered only to have my father diagnosed with terminal cancer a few months later. My 3 year old was the reason I just kept…

I think he’s probably always had a vile personality but the Boston Globe had an article about his days at HBS and before he morphed into the bloated, cranky, old guy on your block, he wasn’t horribly unattractive. And like most sociopaths, he is probably charming enough to snare women into his orbit.

I’m with you, my husband and I have employer provided insurance and we are in the upper middle class income category. We are also decent fucking human beings and realize that the world is bigger than our own backyard. It is more important that no family ever have to worry about whether they can afford taking their kid…

Yeah, my husband has his PhD and works in academia, he has PhD after his name in signature line on emails because that’s a thing in academia but I’ve never seen him sign Dr. or be referred to as Dr. outside of an academic setting. He said he thinks it’s dickish to do so.

FYI, Baylor’s president’s name is David Garland, not Dan.

Children of former presidents do not get secret service protection unless they are under 16.

Here’s the thing to keep in mind as well, Pepper Hamilton found that there was a complete institutional failure generally when dealing with sexual assaults. So even outside of athletes being involved, the university blamed and threatened victims who came forward even when the alleged perpetrators were not student…

The same Ken Starr who lobbied for an admitted child molester to be given a sentence of community service rather than jail time.

I think she’s a shitty person in this whole thing however, the guy could be exaggerating the extent of the child’s medical issues. G6PD is an enzyme deficiency that 400 million people have. It’s generally pretty easily controlled by avoiding triggers that cause the big issues (pretty much avoiding certain medications…

Not really half the country, popular vote was only 19.4% of total population. I’m good with telling them to fuck off.

I got that idea from the summer reading list he releases each summer.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen my 9 year old daughter look as heartbroken and defeated as when she asked me “who won?” when she woke up the morning after election day and I had to tell her Donald Trump.

Me too. This state has some real problems and instead of trying to solve them Patrick the douche and the rest of the Republicans spend all their time focused on fucking over anyone who isn’t a rich, old, heterosexual, christian, white guy. My husband and I were just in his home state of NC and we saw a sign near the…

I took my CPR certification class from an EMT and he said the only purpose of CPR is to keep the heart fibrillating long enough to get an external defibrillator to the person. The sad fact is that most people revived by CPR do not survive because they are deprived of oxygen for an extended period of time. Only about…

I don’t respect her because she’s the mouthpiece for an amoral, misogynist, racist, narcissist, idiot and she’s acting like he’s normal. It has nothing to do with her politics. 

No known workout regimen except the personal trainer she works out with 3 times a week, yoga practice, and mostly pescatarian diet.

I read an article about Noah’s mother shortly after the tragedy where she described why they had an open casket for him and it was one of the most heartbreaking things I’ve ever read. This guy is a special kind of sociopath to cause one ounce more pain to any of the Sandy Hook families.
