Fucking Citizens United.

Marry me. ;)

Hot take: Mothers never liked cleaning. I mean, do you?

Also on Amazon.

I am calling my mom to see if she’ll adopt you so you can uncle my kids. That’s ok, isn’t my brother?

Cosigned. I bought my first house at 26, used the proceeds to buy a larger one in my early thirties and am now, 20 years later, raising my kids in the last place I’ll ever own (because I love where I live so very much). Neither husband has been on any mortgage (and they didn’t pay it, which seems fair). When I die the…

“How the fuck did Avenatti find out?”

Funneling you lots of thoughts and prayers, Donny.

Don’t forget the Shirley Temple spilled on the banquette.

I’m ok with this. IIRC, by 10 my kids could reliably behave in a restaurant, but that doesn’t mean that every restaurant wants to be a family restaurant. Someone downthread made the comparison to not every movie being family friendly and I think that’s spot on. Sometimes I want to watch Shrek, and sometimes I want to…

That idiot is a walking Doge meme. Be Best!

Lets be friends.

“Oh my god, this is hilarious. The GOP is hanging itself live on TV. I’m going to ride this laughing all the way to November.” - me in 2016

I said those exact words when Trump was running in the primaries, and look how that turned out. <bitter laugh>

As a foodie parent, I’m deeply conflicted.

If they can behave reliably in a good restaurant, 99% of the time, then absolutely bring them. If they can’t be that reliable, take them to a kid-oriented place until they can be. And in a good restaurant, if the formerly reliable kid has a bad day, one has to be willing to get the food to go and leave.

I’m a parent of two kids who (now, in their teens) have fantastic restaurant manners. They have excellent restaurant manners, because we *taught* them how to behave in one, and brought them to *Kid friendly* restaurants, at kid-friendly times. Restaurants with training wheels - for heaven’s sake, Chili’s has devolved…

The friend offered to loan him one of his dates. That’s sociopathic.

Pro-tip : Stop referring to all women as “ladies”. It’s creepy as hell and falls into that same red-flag territory as referring to all women as “females”.
