No kids here, and my sister’s don’t do the elf bullshit with their kids... But through the magic of facebook I’ve learned that a whole new money making scheme has popped up on momblogs to ‘fix’ the elf’s magic if it has been compromised. People are selling certificates with bags of glitter and oatmeal or some shit…

Ha! Have you ever read The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingslover? It’s about a family that follows their missionary father to a small village called Kilanga in the Congo. The story takes place in the 1960s and deals with a lot of the civil unrest in the area and the cluelessness of missionary work, such as the…

Isn’t that in the opening them to Laverne and Shirley? “Schlemiel, Schlimazel, Hassenfeffer Incorporated...”

oooh. you are evil. I like it.

baking soda can be a skin irritant. I made some homemade deodorant using it and it was great for a while, then it started drying out my skin and causing a bumpy, peeling rash. There are tons of ways to change the forumula to better suit your body chemistry. I started swabbing with diluted apple cider vinegar before…

My nephew was born at 24 weeks. He weighed 16oz and was in the NICU for 5 months. He had to have several surgeries on his eyes and was on oxygen for the first year of his life. He is 5 now and has poor eyesight. His twin brother was 15oz and didn’t make it due to head trauma from birth.

I did, too!

It’s taking a chance. There was a story a few years ago about an elderly woman waited to pull over until she got somewhere safe and she got arrested for not stopping in a timely manner.

Not sure what state she is in but I think in some states that the birth mother would be considered the legal mother. So even if the embryo originally belonged to someone else, once it is implanted in her and she births the child the child would be hers.
Edited to add: Similar scenario on L&O:SVU. Woman gets invitro…

Disagree. We can celebrate justice because it happens so infrequently. You’re on Jez you know the rape conviction stats. Dirty cop conviction stats are pretty low as well. This guy isn’t anguished because he did horrible things, he is anguished because he got caught and he thought he was going to get off because he’s…

Same. I want to know more about the verdict.

When? Where? I need to put this on my pull list!

It especially doesn’t matter when you don’t own a washer and dryer.

That sounds like a waste of time and money. Clothes in one, towels, sheets and his socks in the other. Two loads and done. BOOM! Especially convenient when you have to use a small laundry mat with only 2 washers and 2 dryers.

My submission was also a Trent Reznor sex dream. lol.

Once I dreamed that I was driving around in a minivan with Trent Reznor and our baby was in the back in a car seat. I was driving and I stopped the van so I could do sex to Trent and I took his pants off to go down on him and he had a big skull and crossbones tattooed on his penis. haha. More stuff happened but I…

I don’t get the “boyish” thing either. He always looked sleazy to me.

Jesus Christ. That is horrifying.

I have two cousins who are both in their mid-thirties who have never not lived with their parents save for one short period after one of them got married. One has racked up 3 children. They’re family is moderately wealthy for the area that we live in. They’re grandparents were loaded and bought them cars, gave them…

The hat is there to stay until... but then it is still around. Just on someone else’s head.
