I’ve done plenty of burpees and this doesn’t annoy me in the slightest. Probably because it’s for the book that has world records for shit like having the longest fingernails or being the fattest twins.

As a graduate from a middle tier law school, I can most assuredly tell you that most law schools are full of idiots. A guy in my class was growing marijuana (this was in the early 90's) and taking pictures of the progress and took the film to be developed where they promptly turned him in to the authorities. He not…

Also, it’s worth pointing out that Arthur has a son who has Down Syndrome so if anyone should be sensitive about at least the “retarded” comment, you’d think it would be him. But no, he’s just a racist monster.

What’s he doing with all that sweet government subsidy money he and his family get from cotton farming in Louisiana?

You are right, my error, that was the rate of pre-term births, 11 percent.

I get being a single issue voter on something that really impacts you - like say, universal healthcare. But the single issue anti-abortion people boggle my mind. There’s no rationality at all involved. You don’t like abortion, don’t have one, end of story. I live in TX so this is a hot button issue - we lived briefly…

It’s even worse in 2016, 11 per 100,000 births. And maternal mortality was 23 per 100,000 births.

I feel your pain. I work from home and most of my day is punctuated by my husband’s 18 year old cat yowling, usually when I need to speak on a conference call.

A quick search uncovered that there is professional organization and certification for geologists. Some states require certification. A few states have a statutory definition for geologist. For example, here’s Colorado’s. I don’t think Zinke qualifies.

Ashley’s husband is a garbage person. Clearly Ashley’s childhood wasn’t financially stable and I think she’s clinging to that marriage so tightly because of the financial security. But Michael is awful to her. His issues with her revolve around her helping her mother financially (which, yeah, I get but damn it’s her…

Not necessary, just dive in now. Clover has covered pretty much any backstory you need.

I’m paraphrasing slightly but Jon Lovett said something that’s so spot on about her, she’s the best example of how you can be really successful if you learn how to stuff down that part of you that feels shame.

I am so sick of schools using this “disruption” excuse. My husband directs the school psychology graduate program at a university. He supervises his students whose third year of study is a year long internship and works a lot in schools. Much of their field is working with teachers to manage disruptions in their…

I tell my kids if they ever get lost/separated from me to look for a mom with kids to ask for help.

I’m happy to laugh at the folly of most people but Corey just to me seems like a very damaged person. He had shitty parents and crappy childhood and was used and abused by most of the adults in his life. He said his friendship with Michael Jackson was the most normal relationship he’d ever had in his life. I just feel…

I don’t have any hard evidence but anecdotally I’ve seen that pretty often in an infertility facebook group I was part of. Annual storage is usually pretty cheap (relatively) so most people just get the letter every year, pay the annual fee, and kick the can down the road.

Back in the olden days (mid 1990's), I wanted to be a diplomat and while I waited to take the Foreign Service exam, I took a job with the State Department right out of law school. I got hired to work in consular affairs at the passport office in LA. And when I was there, the rules applied to everyone. We had…

When I did CPR certification, it was conducted by a paramedic and he said the goal of CPR is to keep the heart fibrillating until you can get an AED and then spent half the time showing us how to use an AED.  

If the assets are tainted, transferring them won’t put them beyond the reach of Mueller. I’m sure they have a prenup but she may have the burden of showing the assets she gets are untainted if his assets are frozen.

I love it, I’m into boring. But I really don’t like him. I concur, total bullshit.
