Alanis is the female equivalent of Live. I worry about adults who like them still. 

That would be like humanely rescuing and relocating cockroaches. 

Super fun fact: Because birth actually can ruin your vagina there are now obgyns who stitch you up extra tight afterward--in my case she did it without asking and it caused painful intercourse for over a year after delivery. 

Yeah. I don’t know who these women are who have the memory of a goldfish but I am not one of them. I don’t understand how anyone has a sibling after the creation of birth control.

Also...what’s the difference between a Harley and a Hoover? One of them sucks and the other is a vacuum.

Thank you!!! The friendship that anchors this series is just one aspect of it but it is far from being the only one—or even the most interesting one. These books are at their best when they are exploring the complex roles that women play, the tension between class and education, and the particular historical moment of

I miss traveling alone. It used to be my favorite. I did four weeks in the UK and France alone two decades ago and launched a solo traveling obsession. Now I rarely leave the house alone much less travel alone :(

The iron goddess of 1996 would be stoked to see Quicksand. 

This is why I simply can’t get behind the assertion that another person’s faith is none of my business.

Working Valentine’s day is the worst because only morons go out to dinner on Valentine’s day. 

How is this not the norm? 

So I really don’t understand this stuff. What age group is watching it? I have a five year old and I cannot imagine letting her watch youtube videos or generally accessing the internet on her own. We download games she can play for long car rides. When is it “normal” for children to be “surfing” youtube? 

Clearly, he should have his arms trimmed down to “normal” size. 

My husband and I have decent, middle class jobs and if it wasn’t for his parents--having one child would mean living paycheck to paycheck. Boomers really don’t understand what it’s like out there financially. 

I will consider watching as soon as they change the name. 

I don’t like football either--it’s my least favorite sportsball, but I think you mean “kick off” not “tip off.” 

Have you ever tried to make a full-grown teenager who is capable of violence and doesn’t want to leave go to school? How exactly does fining or jailing the parent make that teenager’s life better? Have you ever had to hold down a job that made getting a child to or from school virtually impossible? Again how does
