But “giving kids a say” and listening to what the kids have to say are two very different things. At 9 years of age, my daughter would have loved to spend more time with her father because he plied her with sweets, had no rules or boundaries and was generally the “fun” parent. He also spent his time either stretched…

God help me though, this got me to go looking for his tweet and I stumbled across this instead:

My doctor transposed two numbers in my insurance member number on a bill for my yearly exam (definitely covered by insurance). The insurance company (obviously) denied it. When my doctor made me aware of the problem, I gave them my correct member number and they resubmitted the bill. Whereupon, the insurance company…

My first boyfriend was 23 and I was 17. It was for sure a predatory and unbalanced relationship, probably boarding on abusive. Wouldn't do it again.

Yup. My first boyfriend was 20 when I was 16. I thought I was sooooo mature. A freakin’ high school Junior whose boyfriend had a salaried union job and 45 hour work week. He’d pick me up from marching band practice. I cringe to think about what all of the adults around me thought of that situation...

Which spectrum did he refer to?

The Republican Party is the party of law and order LOLOLOL

I was hired into a new job during the pandemic and can definitely say I’ve adjusted poorly to the new work culture (my boss is very adamant that work be a “family” and I respectfully disagree lol). I’m a stickler for boundaries, take my breaks and my lunch and log out after my 8 hrs and am no longer available. During…

I’m going to celebrate my 20 year wedding anniversary with my wife this summer. Never cheated on her, never even thought about it. I don’t say that to pat myself on the back, but good things happen all the time. It’s just that “a great marriage” isn’t sexy or interesting except to the two married people!

“Folsom Prison Blues” might be next up on his set list.

no panic fits as brenden urie is a sexual predator and shit person.

I’m sure the e-mails WERE a reflection of the environment. Why this prick thinks that’s a defense of any kind is only proof of the sociopathy that allowed this disaster to happen. Every single one of these pharmaceutical companies knew what they were doing; demand for painkillers doesn’t increase by 2000% over a…

Good job with that last photo, legitimate chuckle.

Susan Cooper and Phillip Pullman are the two fantasy series I now gift kids/teens instead of Harry Potter.

I was a very lonely 11-year-old whom everyone bullied. My teacher let me stay in the classroom during lunch so I could read in peace, and she gifted me with the first Harry Potter book (which was controversial, because it was a Christian school). I instantly connected with the character, and eagerly awaited the second…

People here like to use turn only lanes as straight lanes and love to do the “barely dip into the side street but it’s actually a u-turn” trick

People try that shit all the time. It’s pretty amazing. I’ve been in traffic jams where people drive up the shoulder then try to get back in. 

What was she thinking that she thought going to the front of the line was okay?

For people who don’t like greasy sun screen for your face, I recommend Biore UV Aqua Rich.  I’m prone to acne so am mostly unwilling to grease my face up even more, but this stuff it nice and light and easy to spread.  

How about we all live and let live? I’m a fat, white, middle-aged, basic, lower-middle-class bitch and I like ranch, mayo, sour cream, yogurt, cream cheese, vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, white frosting, merengue, and pretty much all other smooth white foodstuffs people seem to need Xanax and a quiet room to…
