Ditto with my in-laws and our son. They very much wanted to be involved 24/7 with his upbringing. While they mean well, the in laws have some major boundary issues that are encouraged if we don't balance out our time with them. We encouraged a more occasional relationship, where seeing and hanging out with them is

It isn't always as great as it sounds. My in-laws really wanted to do that with our son. Except - their values are vastly different from our own and they have considerable boundary issues. Having that much help from them would also involve them coming along to our doctor's appointments, inviting interference into

Raven seems very smart and very self-aware. I wish more former child stars - hell, stars period - took their lead from her.

Twenty years. How do you have a pimple for 20 years and not pop it or have a doctor take a peek at it? Did it go "dormant" and not grow during that time?

For finding her outfit ugly? I fully believe that Rihanna has better things to do with her time than worry about what I think of her outfit. Still, I'll try to make sure this doesn't get back to her.

Yes. And? I wasn't crazy about his clothes during that era either.

1. Who says I'm American?

It's as though Rihanna decided that she wanted to emulate Michael Jackson from one of his early 90s videos, but thought at the last minute that she needed a sensible button down. You know, for the White House. There shouldn't be a problem with wearing them together, right?

I think you're talking about the Shakers. I'm surprised a modern-day sect hasn't taken up that torch - not for complete abstinence, but sex strictly for baby-making, or delaying sex for a certain amount of time. You know, an abstinence pissing contest.

I'm really waiting until some sect of this brand of crazy Christianity (as in, not all Christians are this nuts) decides that waiting for x amount of time *after* the wedding is the way to go. Because if waiting until marriage is Super Moral and Holy, waiting for awhile after marriage is even more awesome, right?

We always watch Die Hard while wrapping presents. Best Christmas movie EVER.

Didn't Beth say she remembered killing a walker, then nothing? I figured she was taking down a single walker when the cops found her, but that they were the ones who knocked her out.

I was surprised that she didn't have more scenes. But I loved seeing Beth eyeing Joan's soon-to-reanimate corpse planning to use Walker Joan as a weapon against that gross cop.

If that's the case, I wouldn't fault her one bit. I'm glad she was able to face her death on her own terms and in relative privacy.

That's some denial and error right there.

My husband got back from Brazil this past weekend. His dad wanted to know whether he had his temperature taken or any other steps toward possible quarantine at the airport when he got back into the country. Yep, not even the same continent that is having an Ebola outbreak.

Oh yes, there was an outstanding poop bathroom on the campus where I got my undergrad. In the basement, not near any classrooms, tucked in a corner behind some old rock specimens. Total peace, and jet flush toilets. Heaven, I tell you.

I used to feel the same way because I was so terrified that I'd stink up the bathroom at work. Then a friend said to me that she tries to only go at work because then she theoretically being paid to take a dump. At home or elsewhere, she's doing it on her own time.
