Yeah, I never realized how much girliness I’ve retained until I got a niece. I will say that having a cloth diaper wearing nephew has been fun too- the cuteness is off the charts. I can see how people get obsessed with cloth for sure.

Whenever I see the word now, I assume someone is trying to sell something.

If I see the word “empowering” again I am going to have a stroke.

And nice, speedy metabolism.

I used a local brand (I live in Vermont), but I understand anything that fits the criteria will work fine. I was surprised the thermos worked as well as it did. I also didn’t bother chilling the heated milk in an ice bath and while I did use a thermometer, I imagine you could get by without one of those too.

I love that you can use really quality dairy for it and still come out ahead from a financial standpoint.

Yeah, I was surprised at how easy it was- five minutes of work and then pop it in a thermos to let science work its magic.

I’m reminded of an incident with my young nephew, whom I came upon taking a brisk al fresco piss(it was well below zero that day). The kid was having trouble zipping up his snowsuit, under which -BECAUSE KIDS ARE NEVER COLD- he was completely naked. Was he even the slightest bit uncomfortable, though? Nope! A little…

Oh, I’m sure that’s part of it -I remember how uncool hats were in the fifth grade.

Why is it kids are never cold? It kind of pisses me off, actually, every time I see my nephews running around in t-shirts while I shiver in my parka. WHY MUST THEY STEAL ALL THE HEAT?!

So sorry. 18 is a grand old age, but this never gets easy.

I can see the Starburst honchos sitting around glumly, awaiting the boycott. Although if they were to stop producing pinks and reds, in solidarity with, like, the rest of the world (and those of who happen to love those candies can just suck it up), they could profit mightily.

Ha ha- ah, the sweet rush of schadenfreude.........

Absolutely agree. That, and, well- people are so spoiled they figure history is something that happens to other people. It is a deadly, deadly misconception. I had one Trump voter whine to me that “the things you’re saying are worse than anything Trump could do!” Seriously. I am not going to let the people who fell…

My family exited Germany in 1938 (I understand they did so in a bit of a hurry), and there’s no denying, the historical alarm bells are shrieking, and have been doing so for quite some time. How my grandfather described the Germany he left behind- people walking around in a narcotized stupor, so pleased with how…

It 2: The Fattening

One good Strom piece deserves another:

Man, do I relate to this one. Yesterday, I told my cousin, who lives in Germany (lucky asshole), “I feel like we’re on a plane that’s going down.”

Jesus Christ, I hate this useless fuck. He played chicken with millions of American lives, and now, even after we all lost, he doesn’t have the decency to do what he can to stop Trump. Heartless, incompetent, sociopathic cunt.

Silver lining: I just got to call my childhood bully, now a shockingly inarticulate, racist toad, a cunt.
