Bozhe moi!

For real. I live in the Midwest (not in an expensive area) and I take my youngest two to an in-home daycare (at her home where she watches other kids too), and I also send my 1st grader to after school care. I tallied it all up for my taxes and I spent around $18k on child care last year - this is on the least…

Exactly. The friends in my life who have kids make it work by:

My work has on-site daycare and with my employee discount I could enroll my kid (if I had one) at a bargain price of $27k per year. I doubt I could afford to have more than one child and older people with their “it all works out” advice don’t have a clue what it costs to raise a kid in the 21st century.

You keep living your best life, Jennifer Barkley! :)

I’m 32 and every time I go on Facebook it’s like, “Surprise! WE’RE PREGNANT!” or “Soandso has a sibling on the way!” Meanwhile I’m a single cat lady who has time to go to the gym, attain my goals as a figure skater, and make banana bread. 

I know “whiteface” isn’t a thing but ...

Jezebel-writers, stop fucking publishing stuff that makes her dad money and invades her privacy, like publishing her private correspondence specifically asking him to stop selling any scrap, true or untrue, for money to the press.

Pleasantly surprised that Donald Glover won with the competition in that category. On a negative note, I was disappointed to see Post Malone’s ass even nominated in the categories he was nominated in. On a positive note, I was glad to see Brandi Carlile nominated and get to perform. A grossly underrated artist who can…

And this is just part one. Watch the video interview, it is beyond the pale

The note passing was a surprise to me. The first time cousin Dan denied it, I figured he was just lying. And I don’t know how Wayne figured that just because they could fit notes that meant that’s what it was actually used for.

Shit. I really thought this was gonna be Herb Alpert’s year. 

All a bad bitch need is the Grammy.

Poor Tom Purcell.

I really enjoyed this episode overall. Scoot McNairy still has my vote for MVP. He’s doing some fantastic work. Mahershala Ali is also doing great work, but I don’t expect less of him anymore.

Kudos to everybody who called the Henry-Elisa affair. I suppose the clues were there.

I dig that Caprice they’re driving in 1990. It’s been 5 years since I sold my ‘89 Caprice, and the ignition sounded just like that.

shush now

So...everything has to be about politics on this site now, huh?

That’s nothing, Justified had a newspaper establishing that it took place in the same universe as Rectify, and had Karen Sisco appear without ever naming her as such!
