he can have as much as he wants, as long as I don't have to live with it. Hard drives are cheap.

I am married to someone with a massive lp/cd/video collection. I would love for him to purchase a separate house for that shit.

...because cactus. Sorry. I'll see myself out.

This sounds great! What techniques will they use? Scottish? English? Continental? Something new??!! I love to learn ways to whip through projects. Speed knitters are <i>really</i> fast. I don't think they can keep it up forever though, which is why we have machines. And Netflix.

I dislike that there is even a term for this. There is before you can walk, and after you can walk. There is before you can drive and after you drive. There is before you have sex, and after you have sex. Its a milestone of sorts, but not terribly important in the great scheme of one's life. Not even unique, given…

Good momming! Information is power, you want her first time to be just as much about her pleasure as it is about her partner's. She's gotta figure out how she works.

C is problematic: I've noticed that the kids who can speak well and recite things at a young age are not usually the same kids who move in random directions at lightening speed. Practically no pre-K kids give useful information around sobs.

My thought, exactly. In fact, that is what I used when they were small enough to wander off and too clueless to identify themselves.

20 year-old is unaware that older people are sexual. Tee hee! Its so cute when the newbies think they invented it. She's going to enjoy reviewing these videos in 30 years, you know, from her nursing home.

I thought that, then I thought about why I thought that, and backed my hand away from the pearls. Its not how I was taught to sit, but I was also taught a lot of other pointless and limiting habits as well.

"and my kids are bouncing off walls and could use a 20 minute ride strapped into seats they can't get out of"

Whatever. Where can I get those earrings?

Whatever. Where can I get those earrings?

I'm 50, and I've experienced some of the things on your inner monologue list. Guess what! When you've got those things under your belt, there will be more things attached to them that still make you feel like you're not doing enough. The checkboxes spawn more checkboxes with constellations of wee little checkboxes…

she looks to young to have been born in the 70's when nobody cared what their kids got up to, so what gives?

Nope, most people don't use that word. Also, I am a white lady living in a primarily Asian/Hispanic area, and I just realized a room full of only white people looks weird/wrong to me. How many places does that still happen regularly?

Consumables are a good option. Demonstrates a connection where you've got some knowledge of the person, but is ephemeral, just in case.

Pictures (as in actual photographs) or it didn't happen.

I'd like to think it means that the true imbeciles of the male gender are just now discovering the internet. I hope they're not just getting dumber by the day because of cosmic rays or something, but sometimes its hard telling.

When she's training Beth Ditto, I'll pay attention. I hope Lena Dunham stays the hell away, this lady looks like she's mesmerizing birds in the pictures I've seen of her. Zealots are always bad news.
