I would listen to the fighting couple, if only because you're currently casting full blame on both of them, when there's a possibility that it may be more of a one-sided crazy. If one of them is being abused by the other, wouldn't you want to stand by that person? I mean, don't ask them to babysit again or anything,…

This.

I'm assuming Meryl Streep would be the witch... but frankly Bernadette Peters was perfect in that role in the stage version. I love me some Meryl, but can't imagine her doing it better.

I think you're right, the proper thing would've been to drop it. But since they kept repeating the request for reciepts, I probably would have addressed it directly: no, sorry, I didn't keep a receipt for every little thing I put in there. I'm disappointed to hear that (bride 1) isn't able to enjoy it, but I hope you…

annnnd this is one reason why people who go off on "it's just calories in vs. calories out" piss me off. Apparently if I want to be able to keep track of my calories in, I have to make every single thing I ever eat from scratch.

some of us are just grumpy nightmares, all the time :(

ha, even my one job requires me to work about 11 hours a day. So, once I've driven there and back, taken a lunch break, done those tedious things like showering and making dinner, I'm pretty much dunzo. Another consequence of all that: by the time I get home, exercise sounds like a really hilarious joke.

But if I washed my sports bra every time I used it, I'd either need to wash it every day or own 7 of them. Who has the time and/or money for that?

yeah I had the same wtf moment, plus feel the need to point out that "the humanities" is actually not "a discipline" (singular). Rather, it is a collection of many disciplines commonly referred to as humanities disciplines. But yes, that whole line is one big jumble of wtf, from the existence of it to its construction.

The only problem I have with any of this is the representation of it at the "right" way to do it. I also sort of have the same problem with it being represented as the wrong way to do it. It's not how I go about my business, but whatevs.

I'm the same way, if I get started down that road it turns me into a not-quiiiiite-anorexic nutcase. I start trying to get to 1000cal/day, then that becomes my max limit, then my average goes down to 800, then 600, and it becomes like an ocd game where I try to beat previous days. It's awful, and destroys my…

Not to sound like our grandparents, but nowadays, I don't think anyone gives a thought to the idea of something being inappropriate in public. We're all trying to be so accepting, that every little thought and feeling gets to come out whenever it occurs, and is automatically valid and good because we felt it, so…

Mine doesn't cover it either. You know what it does cover though? "Elective termination of pregnancy." That's right, with a low $30 copay.

maybe it's because they're contrasting the reality of the situation from what these women thought it would be? If it's an accidental baby, it's totally reasonable to be like "oh shit. What's my office's policy on that stuff, anyway?" and not know what to expect, but I figured it was about the implication that if…

yep. I've only ever worked for one company that had 50 people in it, and I was just an intern then... the dude and I have recently begun discussing what we think our lives are going to look like in the future, and it made me realize that when/if we decide it's baby-makin time, I'll have to specifically start applying…

I just love the language, "must consider that as well," as though she has the ability to insist that POTUS meet her demands.

well, while we're reaching in the bag of stereotypes, maybe his gender is a blessing because he'll be less likely to seduce the father of his charges?

I keep rewinding, trying to figure out who's snogging who at several points of that...

In other industries (I'm thinking construction and design here, because that's my frame of reference), people are in many areas not held to being perfect, but instead held to the "standard of care." This means that if we send somebody to inspect a site and maybe they don't notice the contractor making a mistake, the…

If the boys weren't already having gay sex, then in the court of public opinion they're equivalent to being virgins, whereas this girl was already sexually active with guys. So in a way it's like Sandusky gets double points against him (for the deflowering and the gayness), whereas it maybe takes a little more empathy…
