I know this flies contrary to what most people believe, but I believe that the best classroom teachers are this way as well. People like the idea of a teacher that becomes a surrogate parent and lets the child be emotional and the teacher show an emotional, demonstrative side, but that can be very problematic.

If those pilots hadn't been military, that flight would have gone down. Even so, I'm shocked.

That's very true. Numerous, numerous safety and crash testings have proven that children under two need their own seat. For some reason, though, airlines still don't make it mandatory. I guess they're scared of losing business, which cracks me up because when has the airline ever skimped on making people pay more?

Okay. I must be stupid because I really felt like the Russian couple that danced Black Swan was better. Can someone explain to me why not?

I figured, but I had to ask because I'm a moron.

How has the skating boot changed? Ignoramus here.

This. . . This cannot be real. I can't stop watching this.

This is like my house WORST NIGHTMARE. First of all, what person keeps their fridge so immaculate with just overflowing baskets of fruit (and nothing else?) that they can have clear doors? Mine would be a travesty of foil-covered lumps of indistinguishable leftovers.

THANK YOU. I couldn't figure out how radiation was supposed to get bacteria to grow, and how Stephen Fry would agree to the premise of this project without calling a cop.

This made me laugh SO HARD.

I'm making my son's bar mitzvah soon. I can just say that I'm just aghast at how much I'm going to be spending, and I'm not even having a real party! Just feeding all the damn family that's going to show up!

My husband had to travel recently, and his boss was SO apologetic that he didn't get business class. My husband was like, "I don't have kids with me. That IS first class."

Did you even read what this nurse wrote? She had an adverse affect from the vaccines, and she doesn't work directly with patients. She's making a decision about what to do with her own body, and it doesn't affect anyone else. Why on earth do you care so much? Why are you so nasty to someone else when you really…

Because this country has very little control over bad doctors. There's something called DAN! doctors, and they've prescribed every lunatic thing (chelation, oxygen chambers, etc) for autistic kids known to man. And you'll also have lazy doctors. I see it where I work. Instead of actually listening to the patient…

For another amazing book about murder, someone better read The Last Policeman, by Ben Winters.

I hear you. I'm working from a kosher perspective, so everything has to be made from scratch. No Trader Joe's cake mix for me, unfortunately. And we'll have to nix the creme anglaise and sub in non-dairy ice cream.

I know, it looks amazing, right? But it's like a million hours of prep time. I better get started on it tonight. . . .

Me too! Butchers now have just the turkey breast, rolled up into a kind of roast. I cook that with some white wine, basting as I go, and some spices, and I don't have to struggle with carving the whole huge turkey. And while I think some people miss the dark meat, you can make the legs/dark meat separately. This…

I had the worst time with this one year. In theory, it sounds great, but in reality, the sweet potatoes don't have enough starch to stick together.
