Students in New Orleans have every right to feel safe, absolutely. But perhaps they should consider putting that campaigning zeal into also encouraging people to vote more funding for more police officers city-wide, and to give them more support in general? The NOPD's funding is a disgrace.

Awesome.

Oh, no! best of luck, Lane!

Thank you.

There is when you call them names for the hideous crime of not being at your beck and call.

I don't think you talk to a child like that at sixteen if you've never done it before.

Speaking as someone whose mother regularly called me a lazy little fucking bitch and said she wished I'd never been born...thanks for the belittlement and the dismissal.

I've heard of people shooting them as well. And dying in droves. [insert if-pot-were-legal-people-wouldn't-be-dying-for-a-stupid-high tirade.]

I don't know, I was just responding to @candy_pants's comment. Pure conjecture.

+1. Big-time.

I keep picturing that Patrick Stewart SNL sketch where all of his "erotic" cakes have a woman peeing on them, and he keeps grinning and saying, "I know. Isn't that erotic?" with this hilarious leer on his face.

I did, once, but it was because it was a case of 911/emergency response being seriously negligent, in that like ten houses on this one street kept calling to report a murder and the 911 operator told them to quit bugging her or something. I don't recall exactly what she said but it was shocking, and I listened to…

I have always found her insufferably pretentious and horrible.

Lovely.

Glad it wasn't just me. (Though admittedly my period could use a little glamorizing.)

I really can't imagine anything worse than admitting your client was doing whippits, seriously. I'd rather people think I shoot up than picture me hoarding cans of Ready Whip and huddling in front of the fridge where my kids can't see.

I was thinking Kyra Sedgwick.

We do. Yes, we totally do that. And we provide helpful tips.

Please let us know! Everything crossed for you! (But do remember, if your period isn't actually due yet, the odds of a false negative are semi-high, so please don't be totally disheartened if you don't get a positive at this point.)

I bought the Girlfriend's Guide to Toddlers, too, because I love Vicki Iovine so much.
