“I don’t care how many people comment that I’m not being a good Democratic cheerleader.”

I 100% believe if you didn’t watch (I didn’t watch) that you can’t say who won and who lost or even that there was no winner. I don’t think you can get the full sense of it from transcripts and clips.

So, presuming that this is viewed as a contest with a winner and a loser... are you trying to say that Trump ‘won’, or is this just “we’re all losers here” style whining?

Now you appear to just be ranting against the entire general concept of debates, which, whatever. Still has nothing to do with last night’s performances.

It was like a damned car crash; I could not stop watching. I wanted to stop watching but I couldn’t. I agree that the debates are useless. Trump will continue to act like an ass and perform accordingly for his base without any substance. It is a waste of time.

I spent most of my teens and early 20s working in local grocery stores. Thing is, there’s usually not space for much backstock or storage; inventory is designed to be broken down and thrown upon arrival. While one of my stores made do by having an empty tractor trailer parked in the parking lot for the holidays, I…

Sometimes you need a paper towel. Drying your hands is not one of those times.

The continued lack of paper towels is distressing. I went to the grocery store the other day, and got one of the last multipacks of paper towels on the shelf, and I seriously had to guard my cart for the rest of the trip. Everyone kept asking me where I found them.

The article should read that seven students were then expelled from the school.

Yep! I’m not a big fast food person, but every once in a blue moon the only thing that will do is a McD’s cheeseburger and fries. Happy meal here I come!

Great. Again, parenting priorities are different. For me, for a variety of reasons, it is not worth forcing my kids to go hungry or forcing a fight or a tantrum, which is unpleasant for me and I imagine produces a fair amount of anxiety. I honestly don’t care whether their expressed preference is borne of immaturity…

I don’t necessarily think having a fight over turning video games off and having a fight over me forcing a kid to eat something he says he doesn’t like or making him go without food are the same thing. But in any event, yes, you have to force your kid to do things they don’t want to do, that is indeed part of being a…

“but a crowded restaurant is NOT the time to press your point on whether or not we eat all our vegetables”

Thanks, but I’m guessing most parents are aware that they can just refuse to give kids what they want. For a variety of reasons, I’m not particularly interested in making my kids go hungry if I make something they haven’t tasted before and they say they don’t like it. Nor am I interested in having a fight or inducing…

Heck yeah. Fast food place near us, I order off the kid’s menu for me.

Firstly, her book title makes it clear she is a twit.

As a non-parent, parents I implore you, please lean into societal safety nets like the kids menu.

What the hell? I seriously cannot understand the thinking here. Children need smaller portions, and parents shouldn’t have to pay more for dishes that are going to go largely uneaten by kids. Some kids menus are fun to look at, some kids menus help kids learn to make choices for themselves without getting overwhelmed…

Actually, it’s always kind of annoyed me that I can’t order off the kids menu. If I want a damn grilled cheese and tater tots, I should be able to order that, not locked out by age.

My dad used to make french toast with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (like a monte cristo, but with PB&J) and serve it with sour cream. It was delicious.
