I literally can't thank you enough for this comment. Odelay should have won that year, that was a true 'robbing' situation. I listen to Heart is a Drum at the gym every damn day.

I'm trying to relay this story without violating anyone's privacy. Let's just say that I reported the situation immediately... I have not seen that particular Security Professional since.

In the end, it's all Stevie. My sister's cat's name is Bango, because my parents don't like the skank part.

Right. If you move past the lactation blather, it's clear that her constructive discharge claim was the problem. She didn't exhaust all possible avenues, she quit after three hours and then sued. I don't see how people are missing that.

Holy shit. I wish I could bump this comment up with a billion stars. You answered all my questions in plain English. Thanks! If she only went back for three hours and didn't give Nationwide's HR a chance to rectify the situation, I don't think she has a case regarding the constructive discharge, and that was her…

About a month ago, I heard what I would describe as a 'light ruckus' coming from the hallway outside of my office, where my patients sit before their appointments. I ignored it. Ten minutes later there's a Cop Knock on my office door, and a "security professional" comes in and says that he 'just chased some chick away…

What part of this are you not getting? You have no clue what you're talking about. What kind of a person gets a bunch of dissenting replies and makes no attempt to gain new information? What kind of person makes the shitty comment you made originally? You're WRONG. These women aren't making up bullshit claims. I saw…

Are you like, slow or something? Because your wife had a child, you think you know everything about being pregnant, ever? Yes, it does happen, and it happens all the time. No, the women are not always fat, nor just stupid women making 'claims'. Your ignorance may be forgivable but your dickish attitude really isn't.…

I am not the potter, not the potter's wheel, but the potter's clay; is not the value of the shape attained as dependent upon the intrinsic worth of the clay as upon the wheel and the Master's skill?

Laws, yes. M-O-O-N that spells Tom Cullen.

Holy hell.

How.... how did I know? How did I know Gaysian would have eaten something horrifying?

This is my third comment to you and you're gonna laugh when I say this but.... try to ignore me. I just got home from a funeral and memorial service for one of my patients. I worked 36 hours straight before that and I am exhausted and have had some alcohol. (Bad, bad Lucy) I am perfectly capable of having a cohesive…

I did read your entire comment, wherein you accused those speaking out about the parents of being ignorant of other cultures and making broad, sweeping statements and damning enormous groups of people. I think that is what is making people mad, as it sounds presumptuous. It makes it sound as if you're saying that what…

I'm not damning anyone besides the people in this article, who left their children unattended for an hour in a fucking parking lot. Do Nordic and Scandinavian parents regularly leave their children alone in parking lots for extended periods of time? Forget the temperature part; you just can't do that to small…

It doesn't fucking MATTER if this is typical practice in other countries. It's not perfectly fucking fine to leave your kids unattended inside of a vehicle while you go wine tasting. The kids were left alone and restrained in a vehicle for an HOUR at the least. Regardless of where you're from or what you might have…

I am interested to know if you said that because you think what these parents did is ok, or are you just pointing something out?

Do you have a spare room, by chance? It's warm here. I have money.

Except it's not cold anymore where I am, leaving me bereft. I wear scrubs with a thermal underneath and it was warm today when I had to walk 500 miles away from the hospital to smoke a cigarette and I HATED IT. Please, someone on the East coast, take me. I have money. I'm sure they need psychologists there. I'm great…

Are you ok right now? I'm a psychologist and your story is making my stomach hurt. Thank you for sharing that, and I'm sorry, for whatever that's worth, that you ever felt abnormal or freakish. My stomach is actually grinding with empathy. (Apparently that's where my feelings live)
