The best part of this whole deal is many of the parents only got caught bc Singer started cooperating and the FBI made him CALL EVERYONE BACK to recount the crime on a wiretap.

it seems like most of these are props by women to moms. i am hesitant as an adult male to compliment a woman in a store with a kid, because while i would mean the compliment sincerely, i don’t want her to think i’m being some sort of creeper.

“To the death?”

I did actually know of someone who co-slept with their baby and he died. Of course, “co-slept” was more like he was ditched in the bed with her when she passed out after drinking, so really, it’s not “don’t co-sleep” but more like “Don’t be an idiot—don’t drink or take drugs that will cause you to pass out and smother…

This advice is much more helpful to people who have super flexible situations. Rent my house on AirBNB? Where are my wife and 2 young children going to spend the night? is it going to be free? Hardly.. Also, you’re assuming that everyone lives in a place with high demand for AirBNB.

Don’t weigh yourself every day (unless you have a specific need to). I do it once a week. At a consistent time, on a consistent day. Typically Saturday morning. I get up, use the bathroom, and then weigh myself.

The only tax related organization that I hold in lower regard than TurboTax is “Liberty Tax Services”, who have people stand out on the sidewalk dressed as the statue of liberty, and wave to people.

Can confirm. I do this. I spend the first hour of my day just casually catching up on things without needing to worry about web browsing. I am almost always the first person in the office, so when people show up, I’m “hard at work” at my desk.

No, this is not that... This is an area of sensitivity for me because there are people close to me who have had actual diagnoses of compulsive hoarding.

oof yes I feel this

These are all good questions... I think the people (myself included) who fall into the trap of accumulating too much shit are all 12th degree black belts at something i like to call “lying to themselves”... I think that’s why M.K.’s use of asking a question that is abstract and purposefully emotional is supposed to…

Obits are expensive, as I found out when my husband died.
