I think its hilarious that you are unaware that they already are managing a health care system very well, thank you. Maybe you've heard of Medicare?

Who does credit with a regular hyphen and not an em dash? Yuck.

Life is short. Use this:

Having grown up in the 70's without a helmet and whacked my head a few times (so much for that PhD...), I totally got on board with the first ugly-assed helmets that looked like perforated pingpong balls. I am so grateful for the light, sleek, aerodynamic & colorful options available now. What I really hate is seeing…

One of my kids has been pestering me for these, because he sees the money tree in his imagination is getting weighed down with fruit. I tried to dissuade him with horror stories, now there is actual "news" that isn't just mom being boring. Thanks!

the wee knots! very interesting.

When Marines have to wear this in battle, I'll worry. Otherwise, chicken hawks be chicken hawkin' from their desks, as usual. (I'm pretty sure an actual Marine could function impressively in this getup if necessary.)

Seriously. I do not understand why this has not happened. The design mags are so close with the ginormous doorless showers, its only a short hop to making the whole damn room a shower. You could put the tp in a special niche. THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, PEOPLE.

Augh, no kidding. I can still remember the abject terror at seeing my ankles the the size of my pre-pregnancy thighs after Thing 1 was out. Shudder. Never happier to pee every ten minutes.

So did I but it didn't turn out that way. I've seen women that look like this to start with, eat garbage all through pregnancy end up looking like this almost immediately when its over. Multiple times.

Me, too. Changed the oil, the tires, the belts, did timing with the light, used bondo and fiberglass (love that smell), spent a lot of time holding a flashlight in the garage while my dad tuned up the used cars we owned for ages while the neighbors drove a new car into the ground every three years. Used my xacto knife…

Hang tough, lady. I caught a lot of shit for keeping my name, too—from my dad even. Fortunately, every single argument intended to make me change my name was very simple to twist to why I shouldn't bother. Be who you are, that's who the man is marrying.
(20 years in with 2 kids—they have their dad's last name, I'm ok…

Its a good microcosm of how small towns operate. Even if there's no football team to revolve around, the petty bullshit always centers on something. The first season was mostly about the teen stuff, but the adult issues become more central as they go on. Tim Riggins turns out to be the most mature person in town next…

There are approximately a million videos on YouTube for how to cut your very own hair into perfectly acceptable styles that will likely get you laid. I hate the interaction required with a new stylist. They're all new stylists.

I live far from the kids' grandmas/extended family so I have a blog, too, from before there was a facebook (the saving grace, I probably would have used it and then I would be scouring, too). The blog is public, but very low profile, and everyone has a pseudonym. It keeps the grandmas off my back. I've been careful…

We need more families and young women who are this tough. If we can't bring ourselves to raise our boys to not rape, at least we can raise our girls to shame them when they do.

That is some awesome hamstring they've deleted on Britney. SMH what are they thinking? (aside from the obvious usual crap)

Any full grown woman would want to rip this shit out and start over, to at least have a say in the level of ostentation. I'm pretty sure he's way past 11. Maybe he's leaving bedding choices to the child bride?
