I bought a cheap bottle of red, shunned my children, and opened a twitter account, with no intentions whatsoever. So, hope springs eternal, as my Ma says. 

Even in hospitals it isn’t as common anymore for doctors to wear lab coats, they’re usually in scrubs. So this is clearly a plant. 

Here in Northwestern NJ too. Never had to wait, NEVER. Today parking lot was full and, while there wasn’t quite a line of dozens of people, it was a minute or two of waiting to get in the booth. 7:20am. 

Or don’t have the resources for a nanny, and which book, exactly? Not like there aren’t hundreds of “parent this way” books. So many different reasons.

Once I’m done my 10 hour workday and cooking dinner, paying bills, listening to my kids and giving them baths, doing homework, I’m short on time to visit the library and reading a good long book on parenting skills. And when I do get time, there are so many “strategies” - and I’ve tried a lot - that don’t work AT ALL…

I posted the same, for the same reasons. Kids don’t care about bills, and 10 hour work days, and the cost of daycare. My kids are my life but there are times when I’m counting the minutes until I can put them to bed. Thankfully they are beyond the toddler years now, but it was so hard I had to get counseling. So give…

AMEN! Just saying stop is not enough. Parenting is hard, children can be extremely difficult particularly for stressed out families who work full-time and are doing their best to get by. Without guidelines to positive discipline and ways to manage the stages of sometimes really fucking stressful kid behavior (my…

His morbid fear of appearing to be morbidly afraid of stairs will be his undoing! Even facing death, his ego won’t let him hold the railing, and Teresa May will be nowhere in sight. 

Lol, he went first. ;) Should have made a nice bread. 

My first boyfriend and I were literally sold a bag of baking soda, late teens, early 90s. Disappointment > death. 

Welp. *clears throat, wipes eyes* I have one vote tomorrow, but that’s not going to be enough. 

WNYC (NPR,  Morning Edition) persists with the trump voter perspective and it KILLS ME. STOP THERE IS NO MYSTERY. 

My feeling of dread is that despite all our efforts, it appears that the effort to suppress the vote is just as strong. I still cling to some hope though, because in the end there are more good people than bad in our country, and I hope that the good ones win. 

It is aesthetically lovely, simply beautiful in natural terms. Its people, though...

It really, truly is, but credit where credit is due!

Queen Latifah and Jimmy Fallon in Taxi Driver was also a sort of rom-com (or buddy comedy?)...

It’s truly shocking the stupid people who are allowed to “teach” our students. My SIL is a middle school special ed teacher, ardent trump supporter who if you ever spoke to her on any academic topic would shock you if you learned she was a teacher. 

It reads as racist, no matter what sort of pun was intended. It’s not pedantry, it’s decency and clarifying what our military is there for. 

Thank you. 

I wish it were as simple as middle America and rural folks. I live in a disturbingly trump-loving suburb of NYC. I continue to be shocked by the level of stupidity I’m confronted with DAILY. I’ve heard how much better the country is, how our economy is great, and there is no point in discussing facts. Me and some…
