I googled it, since I had no idea what a lladro was, and wow, there’s a market for them. I saw one selling for $700. Huh.

I frequently bled through my clothes in high school. It was mortifying! I had several dedicated flannel shirts for tying around my waist, dark jeans, and always checked my seat when I got up (yes, it was that bad). If a male teacher had said anything to me I would have burst into tears, and then flames, and then died.…

Carob?

Is anyone else completely incapable of lying? I can’t. I do the Santa thing but if my kids ever directly ask I won’t lie. The truth will just pour out. This is why my kids knew about where babies come from at a reeeeeally young age.

I was a latchkey kid. One day when I was about 8 I lost my house key and couldn’t get in, so I tried opening a window. But, because all the windows had screens, the only way I could get traction on the windows to see if they’d open was to cut open the screen. I tried almost all the windows before I found one that…

You know what, it’s quite plausible that she’s devastated at the thought of not having her dad in her life

He is not a monster, just a man that really screwed up and has been paying in many ways.”

They are *literally* building an army and it is terrifying. I know a fair bit about the quiverfull cult from some research I did a year or so ago, and the impetus is entirely to build an army for God who will fight against heathens and these families are having 10+ kids and homeschooling them to believe that the end…

When Stern runs for president?

Must be why he’s so into Ivanka, he knows the ones with the wreck of a father are the best lay.
