So, I know in practice having a kid this late isn't a great idea generally speaking (never mind the fact that it's also only an option if you're super rich, as others have pointed out) but if you're not too blacked out from rage I would really be interested in hearing some more of your medical knowledge and

Not to mention the rates of extreme prematurity and severe complications, NICU admissions......go ahead and google image search "extreme prematurity" and then imagine running a code on a 500g infant for a hour while their ribs break from chest compressions before you call it.

My mother always said she was two young at 25 and too old by 30. As 30 creeps up, I'm sure that I'm not going to be calmer or cooler dealing with a new infant as the years go by.

Because there must be some context in which a red-lipsticked nurse is about to blow her patient, and is impressed by his dick size?

Not for the White House it wasn't. Email policy for the different departments of the Executive branches was murky back then for sure, but the rules were pretty clear for White House staffers because of the Hatch Act and the Presidential Records Act. It was most certainly not less shady, especially since they were

Sarcasm Detector? That's a real useful device.

Y'know, I train and wrangle animals for commercials and film and I will say that their job— and mine— is a hell of a lot harder than an actor's.

I always enjoy when people defend this nonsense by saying, "BUT PEOPLE IN THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION DID THE SAME THING!" Oh, yeah, totally, and if there is one thing I'm really looking forward to, it's electing someone that follows the example of the Bush Administration.

You have so much more self-control than I do! I tell myself over, and over, and over again, ONLY read Jezebel comments. Only read Jezebel comments. And then somehow, I find my eyes glancing down on yahoo articles.

Nope, I can count on one hand the sites on which I read the comments. Otherwise, I spiral into deep depression at the state of humanity.

I agree, but what's shocking is just how many people really do have "a troubling low level of it to begin with." Have you ever read the comments on yahoo articles. Holy. Fucking. Shit. It's crazy out there.

Buy a damn casserole cookbook and a slo-cooker cookbook and learn something simple, then move on up. That's what my husband and I did and we now eat perfectly nice meals and can do it up for holidays.

This. Y'know what'd be a useful think to learn in 4 hours of cooking instruction? Basic knife skills. And/or a couple of the mother sauces. Infinitely more useful than 1 fancy meal.

Sounds fool-proof.

...preparing an easy to replicate menu that can be rolled out at special celebrations and anniversaries.

It'd take way longer than two days to teach all the chores I'd want performed.

I see where you're coming from and agree with much of it, but I see signing up for this particular class on the eve of one's wedding as being that sort of passive-aggressive barely trying sort of effort. Perfect bed corners and glamorous meals for special occasions are exactly the kind of housework that guys who want

No offense but, seriously, they ARE to some men

Groom Academy is a one-day course....that promises to "groom men to become perfect husbands who know how to keep the romance alive."

If your guy hasn't taken it upon himself to learn how to do some domestic shit by the time he's old enough to contemplate marriage, teaching him how to make a three-course meal isn't going to do a thing to ensure he does the grueling, grinding tasks like cleaning the bathroom and making sure there's food that didn't
