If you leave the seat up, don’t pretend you don’t see all the grime and pubes on the toilet bowl rim. The only time I ever realize how fucking gross it is is when I clean it. And then I think, who can look at that nastyness and note take a piece of toilet paper and clean it?

Does someone have to be able to drive to take care of kids? Lots of people can’t drive even sober, perhaps they don’t own a car. That’s why God created 911.

Dude, speaking from the other side, just be ready to be flexible and remember, “this too will pass”. It was a real shocker for me, as a person who was very efficient, time focused, and got shit done, to adjust to an infant. You just have no idea how it will go, and everyones experiences will differ. Every baby is…

Love mine, my husband is willing to get a vasectomy, but my mirena is so awesome, even if he does I would keep the mirena just for the wonderful effect it has had on my period.

Luckily my caucus is right next to my house. I will trudge through 4 feet of snow to caucus for Bernie. Please let it be decided quickly, caucusing sounds super boring but I will do it for Bernie.

Isn’t that what the “well regulated” is supposed to refer to?

The mental gymnastics. I get it. Sometimes something hurts you so bad, the only way to keep living is to find a way to convince yourself that it didn’t happen that way. :(

I completly agree. I had a traumatic experience (not rape) that I have PTSD from, and right after it happend, I was so upset it was as if it was really important for me to rationalize why everything was OK. It was like, if I could convince myself that everything went “right”, then it soothed my pain. I felt very oddly…

You must be on the wrong article. Iowa is not a usually red state.

Thank you. I live in Iowa City and was just sputtering over being described as an ignorant fuck stick. Every state has dipshits, but Iowa is way ahead of many other midwestern states as far as progressive politics.

As a former Virginian, I agree Virginia sucks. I never realized how bad it sucks until I moved to Iowa. Even without the beach, and no really big cities, Iowa wins over Virginia big time. I go back to visit relatives and am so glad I don’t have to live there anymore.

I attend conferences frequently and have no problem with a baby being there, even if the baby makes noise and needs to be taken outside. I feel vastly more tolerant of noise from a baby, than those jerks I sat next to last time that had their iphones set to give alerts for every little action. I just could not get…

The noise from babies seems to have some special frequency that only assholes can hear. What would be a nice normal volume of speech coming from an adult, seems to cause a brain malfunction in some people of a child or baby makes a noise of the same volume.

That has not been my experience with government funding at all. The person who writes a well thought out grant that carefully lays out the justification and background for the project showing a logical method that is likley to produce relevent data usually gets the government funding.

Nobody has banned the confederate flag.

I am the same way. there is something in sriracha makes me CRAVE more of whatever it is on. It has this umami flavor under the hotness that I can't deny.

Or they felt something but didn't have enough experience to know what it was. Maybe thought they were getting an infection or something.

Can't come soon enough, I could do with overhearing less bitching about lag at my house.

To be fair, you cannot always tell who has a disability or another issue. He might have had joint problems that prevented him from holding a knife firmly enough to reliably cut.

It does something to your brain. I can't explain it. I was not a kid person, and I only semi reluctantly decided to have a kid. Even though having my baby was the worst experience of my life (very traumatic, lots of scars and my asshole is still not working right) this toddler is the best thing ever. Seriously. I…
