I'm dying at the little one's quiet observation. Priceless.

HA. I'm half Korean (other half is black) and that side of the family uses VICIOUS verbal abuse to keep everyone in line about their weight—which we all know works super well!

I was painting trim (HAR... no really, I was painting baseboards) during the game while he ran back and forth from the TV to give me updates. So I guess we're both men. Crap, now I have to notify everyone that we're having a gay wedding.

Right? We're going to city hall in a couple months. Brewery party with friends after. No freaking out. Why do I feel like I'm being lectured all the time on this site?

Defensive much? Wait... someone who equates being a cyclist to being a POC is offering rape sensitivity lessons?? How much do you charge?! Your spot under the bridge is over here, honey. Thanks for playing though.

Wow. My fiance races. He rides on the street almost daily. This never happens to him! It sounds like you need better bike skills. Nice try though.

Black/asian cycling commuter here and nope. Not even close to the same thing.

I'm Korean and black myself. The racism I get from my own *parents* is ridiculous. (Mom criticizes my hair texture and curves. Dad is pretty horrible re: asian stereotypes and yes, he has the fever.) Just waving hello. Good luck to you and your girlfriend!

I read about Graham and Patterson not liking each other (while watching the series), and rooted for Christopher as a result. Who knows if it was true or just gossip fodder, but if you learn that little factoid and then watch it, Luke + Lorelai = bad. You can feel the mutual dislike.

Our parents come from the same stock. There was no attendance at any game (though I played something every season), and never a glance at my report card (I ended up getting myself into an Ivy league school). I am an only child though. After I left home, I never went back. I am self-sufficient to a fault. It got me…

Right on the nose, wonderfully said. While I'm not in the corporate world (I'm in healthcare), each point still applies perfectly.

You are definitely not alone. My last partner was much too big. Acrobatic maneuvers were out of the question; I was honestly concerned by the thought of a long-term relationship with him. But if it helps, one of my girlfriends married a man with a very large penis and she assured me you eventually get used to it. My…

I plan to encourage my (as yet nonexistent) kiddos to go to trade school if they'd rather. As long as they find something they like, I don't care.

Wow, a productive comment section on fb. Nice!

Har. I keep posting on other comments on why a public proposal isn't so bad, I'm glad to see your post. Here is my argument: we are already engaged by mutual agreement and much discussion, but he's still planning a ring presentation. We are also sport fanatics, special dates for us are trips to the stadium. So while…

I can totally see why public (or pubic) proposals might not be everyone's cuppa. But I'm in favor, for two personal reasons: 1) my partner and I are already engaged by mutual agreement and much discussion, but he's planning a ring presentation of some kind and 2) we are sport fanatics. When we go on big dates, we go…

I am in agreement that all engagements should be by mutual decision. So what does it matter whether anyone does it in a stadium? I love afternoons at the ballpark and when my partner wants to take me on a special date, that's where we go. We are already engaged by agreement, but he's planning a ring presentation of…

An elderly patient once bitterly told me the story of how she was accepted to medical school, but ultimately declined because the men in her family harangued her for "taking the spot away from a man." What shitty, shitty times.

Blasian girl here (I inherited curls). I touch them right back on the head, just to show them how weird it is. Repeat their tone and say, "Your hair is so [whatever it is]."
