You hussy! You wonderful, generous, gif-giving hussy.

It will lower the status of women. If men are allowed to marry more than one woman, by virtue of numbers, status will go down. And what about resources? A guy who has six kids will likely not pay their way through college.

You've made good points here.

Be honest, having more than one husband seems like hell on earth, doesn't it? And I say this as a happily married woman.

Yes, it is crazy. They have no concept of history. Many of my fellow women are remarkably ignorant about women's history. Also, women are some of the worst misogynists I've ever known.

You are the Father of Lies, Doug Barry. Huddleston is adequate. But every woman with eyeballs and taste knows Idris Elba is THE sexiest man on Earth.

So, you don't notice that where polygamy is the rule, women have low status?

I know it's cold, but Chicago is breathtakingly lovely in terms of architecture. The people are quietly friendly. The city is filled with quaint neighborhoods and I can't even explain the perfection of the lake.
When you are downtown in the luxury shopping district, it's both exuberant and tasteful.
And speaking of…

When are people going to stop using 'Murica? No one talks that way. Bush never even really did.
It's just a way of expressing contempt for anyone who doesn't despise the US in principle. And not a clever one.

Congratulations. Teaching is difficult and challenging. I've been teaching college freshmen for a long time. Despite the fact that I sometimes want to whack them on their pointy little heads (but never do), I love what I do and I love that I can effect their futures in a positive way.

This damn near gave me seizures, and I still love it.

People think it's a huge luxury, but if you plan carefully, it's reasonable. And you will feel so good when you walk into a clean house after work! It's a huge mood lift.

I am the child of a total domestic goddess. It's like a room gets cleaner if she just walks through it! I am in the same boat as you.

My husband believes that cleaning is organizing. A dirty toilet bowl means nothing to him. But I can't sleep if I think one of ours is dirty.
I absolutely believe in the cleaning service. I make real sacrifices to have one, but my husband knows how much it means to me.
As soon as you can, get a service. Most people…

I think he's hideous, but his Jewishness has nothing to do with it. I've never thought about that. Tom Cruise isn't Jewish, and like Levine, looks like a ferret.

Like Erin, I grew up with social-justice focused parents, who valued being Catholic precisely because of that message. While I am not ready to go to church, at last, I feel that the message of helping those in need is at last in focus again. That was the thing about being
Catholic I loved the most!

You really think all old people poop their pants? They do not!

Surprise babies are just as loved as planned ones! :)

No. As a parent, I don't want anyone who doesn't want kids to raise them. People who don't want kids should never have them.
Having said that, my husband and I had our kid totally unexpectedly. We'd hardly ever discussed kids before we got pregnant. It all worked out. You can overthink this stuff.

Cars. Is there anything they can't do?
