Hope this doesn't sound condescending or cheesy, but I just wanted to say great job! on managing to turn things around for yourself, and esp. using your talents to spread the word. Dunno which is cooler - that you saved your own life, or that you're now helping to save others'. Keep it up, Soy-Man :-P

JonGorski has a life? Gonna need you to show your math.

I hate myself for saying this, but… he could be two things?

Okay, yeah, I suppose it's a bit apples-to-oranges, but my point is calling a woman "strident" has a clear historical context that makes it inherently questionable.

Sorry, I shoulda been clearer; I wasn't *requesting* more proof, I was just pointing out that Gohmert's merely the latest in a long line of red flags. But thanks for the depressing imagery, guys!

I think the focus on Hillary in this thread is missing the forest for the trees… fact is, "strident" has long been used as coded misogyny, to the point where some folks are understandably suspicious *any* time it's used to describe a woman, even if there's some truth to it in that particular case.

You must be one of the unwashed poors.

Yeah, I'd just be neurotic about turning them into a sugar fiend.

Nothing worse than looking over a menu and realizing the kids section is more appealing than the standard offerings. I guess I should just take that as a sign that this restaurant's probably not for me…

So do they only get candy if they don't like whatever they try, or do they get the candy regardless (for effort)?

Oh gosh, it was just a joke, and yeah, there's generally good reason(s) for a kid's undeveloped palate, but that was precisely the point I was trying to make - the writer doesn't seem to get that a preference for simple, familiar foods is often just a natural phase for that age range, and for lots of parents it's way…
