I live in a big city and my friends are white collar professionals or creative folk who still go out on weekdays to nice restaurants and live in moderately-sized apartments with furniture with pointed sides.

Hoekstra was born in the Netherlands. And he and Betsy DeVos are from the same hometown in MI (I know this because this is also my hometown-though I have since left the state- and I grew up hearing my parents frequently cursing both of their names).

The fact that it’s a Christian school is also important because in WI, private school teachers (and principals, I assume) are not required to have a teaching license or really any formal training as teachers. And private religious schools pay even less than public ones, so you’re really scraping the bottom of the…

Watching old episodes of 90210 has always been a guilty pleasure of mine- but even I have to stop watching it once they get beyond freshman year of college, at which point the plot goes from cheesy nostalgia to batshit crazy very quickly.

Generally, it doesn’t take someone 5 years to figure out whether they want to marry you. So if it’s been that long, they’re either not into marriage, not into you, or both.

Uh yeah. That was an AWFUL storyline. And that is compared to other fine storylines such as “Kelly has an eating disorder, gets stalked, gets almost raped, gets shot, gets burned in a fire, gets involved in a cult, developed a cocaine habit and got amnesia”

Yup there was definitely an episode of Beverly Hills 90210 (the original) about it.

Yup, we’ve gotten a couple of rugs and a glider/ottoman for our daughter’s room and we’ve been happy with everything.

I’m kind of the opposite- only lived in one place growing up, but then after college I lived in a few different states (and changed living spaces a few times within those places). I’ve been in the same state/metro area now since 2004 and figured I was pretty permanently settled here (we live in my husband’s hometown…

Not to increase your anxiety, but you might want to have the house swept for hidden cameras. Because if it’s not a bathroom-specific fetish but more about violating privacy and control, he may have filmed other things too.

Oh HELL no. At first I was like “hey, it’s obvious the guy really likes you- how sweet!” but once you said Tump supporter......

Congrats! That’s a big step- you should be proud of yourself!

Fun fact- Ovidrel is produced using hamster ovaries. I don’t know why, I just found that hilarious back when I had to use it.

As someone who has gone through that whole process, sending you a virtual hug and wishing you the best! Which trigger shot are you doing? Ovidrel? I PROMISE if you have to give it to yourself at home it is NOT as bad as you think it will be.

Awww! I hope my daughter can do crafty things with me someday!

Just the fact that you refer to MSU grads as the “Carhartt-n’camo set” tells me everything I need to know about you.

I’m also an MSU grad (as are many of my family members) and I was a student there when a lot of these things were happening. All of the MSU grads I know have pretty much said the same thing- the university really screwed up, and more people need to be fired and possibly prosecuted. There isn’t much else to say on the…

Mother is the only one he trusts.

That’s what I thought too!

About a year and a half ago (pre-election) I had to sit in the lab at the hospital for like and hour and the TV was turned to Fox News. I had been fasting for my blood work, so I was extra cranky. I waited until a moment when there was no one in the waiting room and then changed the channel to MSNBC and turned the…
