She looks really distraught over it too. Her body language is approximately what mine is when my team gets intercepted for a touchdown. Not that that ever happens.

I had to come back and find this to let you know, we entered escrow yesterday!!! Patience and some serious flexibility for silly seller demands finally paid off!

Often just as we are settling down to sleep, designcat gets a deep and abiding urge to run at top speed from our bedroom window to the living room window (sounding more like an elephant than a cat as she does so), yowls at the top of her little lungs, runs BACK to the bedroom window, yowls some more, and then repeats…

yeah, they gave a narrative justification for it, but knowing it was meant to be a network family-friendly show makes it make more sense than the narrative does, to me anyway. I always assumed that despite her weird concept of what ‘weird sex stuff’ meant, that the preacher/kidnapper did in fact have actual sex with…

Ahhh, I was totally wondering why Kimmy kissing a boy was such a big deal, and her various boyfriends didn’t seem to expect sex. That makes sense now!

The looks on their faces say so much. Most of them feel challenging, like they’re daring someone to argue with them now. A few look like “how did I wind up here?”

Well I *have* been here a long time. I was bound to integrate with the locals eventually!

A+ trail, D- parking lot. I frequent Eaton Canyon a lot more just because the parking sitch doesn’t make my head explode.

Would so love to know which trail they were on...

Well the women in ‘de facto’ relationships are happier, but the men in marriages are happier. Ergo, the institution of marriage is working in men’s favor.

Can we talk about the finding that the happiest women are in what they’re calling ‘de facto relationships” and the unhappiest in long marriages, yet the stereotype of women dragging men to the altar persists? Meanwhile the unhappiest men are in de facto relationships and the happiest are married! Clearly our cultural…

I think age probably plays into it a lot. In your thirties, you’ve had your own lives and been managing your own finances for a while. You have your own assets, maybe debts, and habits. People who get married earlier can come into a marriage with a whole lot of nothing, and still be growing into their habits. For them…

I brought around $55k of student loan and car debt into my marriage (down from an original balance of $72k, which was split between student loans, car loan, and credit card) and I think the attitude you pinpoint at the end of this article was the key to my husband approaching it in the most generous way imaginable.…

ok, now to the important stuff: where can those of us without cable subscriptions watch this? Is it on the Netflix or the Hulus?

I think that may be the thing. I read all of these and think I’ve got some sort of unicorn marriage going on. Sure it’s not all romantic evenings together and vacations, but I look at how life was alone and how life is with him, and there’s no question in my mind that everything that’s hard about life (right now at…

He’s suing because he pays for the insurance, so his argument is that he is effectively being forced to pay for something that’s against his religion. It’s a bs argument because he’s likely not paying a penny more than if they did not cover birth control, and also they likely covered it to some extent even before the…

I feel like this is such a rare moment in internet history. July 22, 2015: article about screaming children is posted on the internet, commentariat comes to sane and reasonable consensus.

From the rest of us: thank you.

SUCCESS! Thankyouthankyou! I hated it so much because I kept trying to star out of habit, and then remembered that it wasn’t working.

Ahhh, I’m on Safari as well. It’s so weird though that this only started after the who Gawker kerfluffle, so I thought it was some extra level of moderation.
