Why does he need to get up at 2:30? He only works/does family stuff for two hours a day. The rest of the time is mostly working out and snacks.

So happy this feature is back. Welcome, Harron! 

Or someone saw he was close enough to dying to make it worth riding out. Cynical? Yep. 

I just found out that my husband once met David Gest. He works in a music-related industry. He was at an event, and Michael Jackson arrived. His co-worker apparently bellowed “CHILD MOLESTER! PEDOPHILE!” until MJ left. Crazy, right?

Thank you for your usage of the term “cattywampus.” It was a favorite of my mother’s. 

He could have apologized *and* not let Janet take the fall for everything. This is going to sound regressive, but a gentleman wouldn’t behave that way. 

True. You probably also aren’t going to see any memoirs written by men who, in their teens, had emotionally abusive relationships with female literary “greats” more than twice their age. If you did, the response probably would be a lot different. The woman would be burned at the stake. 

I work at a school, and today a student wanted to save his snack from second recess so he could have it during the after school program. He was so excited. He ran inside to put it in his backpack to keep it safe.

It started because bacon is great with pancakes or waffles. I am a person who feels Unwell if I don’t have protein with breakfast, so this is where it gets weird. Fried egg on top of the pancakes...and syrup on top of everything, including the egg. Fried chicken and waffles with bacon and eggs, and syrup on top of…

I like maple syrup on my bacon. I used to pretend it was on accident, but it’s on purpose.

Did Jezebel do this just to see where we would draw the line? “So, you’re fine with Uncrustables, but you are against dipping chicken fingers in soda? Hmmmmm?”

This comment should have all the stars. 

Or a can of chili. Not that I would know. 

Once a year or so I get a craving for fish sticks. :/

One of my students is allergic to chocolate. There is a rule at the school that every piece of chocolate is confiscated, no exceptions. Parents keep packing it, and there is chocolate in the damn lunchables too.

Fair enough. I always made my son’s sandwiches too. I tried buying Uncrustables one time and he was not having it. Making his lunch while trying to get my own self off to school, and also dealing with his aversion to novelty was no easy trick (he has autism). I would have given anything on god’s green earth to find…

How many kids do you have?

The school I work at is nut, egg, and chocolate free. We have kids with life threatening allergies. Soy nut butter is fine. When my son was in elementary, peanut butter was allowed, and he ate it a lot because we were broke!

My friend told me about these ten years ago and I thought she had lost her mind. How hard is it to make your kid a sandwich every day for lunch? I found out when my son went to Kindergarten and I went back to work full time. I didn’t buy Uncrustables, but I did rely on those mini packs of Goldfish that I had…

Thanks. I will try the Color Pop. What’s been (sort of) working for me is UD primer, followed by Maybelline Eye Studio gel, applied with a fine brush, set with eye shadow and again with powder. I’m not fighting upper lid transfer, though. I’m fighting the dreaded Raccoon Eye.
