It seems like McCaskill is in the House not the Senate. I swear to God it seems like I hear that she’s running in every damn national election. I assume its the tossup nature of her contest, but I had to Google to double check that Roy Blunt was in fact the other senator from Missouri.

Yes! I am having this trouble even with my year-old daughter. I have been on a constant crusade to help my husband and family rearticulate her crying as “frustration” instead of “anger” or “pissed off”. The last one bothers me the most—it’s practically a vulgarity and we’re ascribing it to a small, nonvocal person who…

As a former member of her district, I must correct you that now-Sen. Tammy Baldwin was the first openly gay woman elected to Congress.

My dad teased my sister that he was going to name her cat Forklift. Later, my aunt actually did give her cat that name.

Hmm new theory: Tom Cruise is like Hugh Jackman’s character in The Prestige and sacrifices his other selves to Scientology.

My dad shares this philosophy. He always said “I don’t wear word shirts.” However, twenty or so years ago now, someone gave him a shirt that read “Normal is boring,” which also fits his philosophy. We had tickets to go to the Whad’ya Know Show, so he wore it and was selected to take the quiz. He won the whole…

My throwback shirt is a “You Forgot Poland” shirt. I first bought it after the 2004 debate in question in the unisex fit. My FWB at the time “accidentally” kept it (and I kept his black button down in exchange) but the shirt was so essential I rebought it in a women’s fit and it still hangs in my closet 14 years and…

Your post speaks to me because I was there and have been reexamining my perspectives of my money and others’. Until I met my husband I was very much in the same place as you (minus the child). I was spending about 40% of my net income on my housing and nearly kneecapped when my car broke down and I needed didn’t have…

Perhaps the gays in Washington have gotten to him. /s

>>That’s it. Those are the best. Here now are all the worst shaped states:

This picture is heartbreaking. I hate that I can’t do anything except vote this fall. Glad I moved into a swing district though, and hope to contribute to flipping it.

:x

Ahh stories about English class.

Just a minor tweak, but in the section about Kate’s favorite designers, it should be Reiss, not Reese.

Everyone else has covered all the important thoughts on this, so I’ll just add that her daughter’s name is Alexis, not Olympia.

I will say that while I can see how this is annoying, my mom does this because she is diabetic and makes lemonade for herself with Equal or Splenda because there aren’t a lot of good sugar-free options at most restaurants. (Also the lemonade from the soda fountain doesn’t taste very good.)

Is it Everett that is the minor league hockey attraction? If so, as someone who lived in Everett for four years, it might be an attraction to the blue-collar/navy workers in the immediate area, but there is (was?) very little nightlife to speak of in Everett and nothing to compel Seattle residents to make the trek.

Qdoba > Chipotle. That is all.

Kind of off topic, but any suggestions how to go about renting a specific car for a weekend/week? My husband’s birthday is coming up and I’d like to rent him his favorite car.
