I was finding ways to read penthouse forum and crap in Playboy at that age. I'm more shocked that the mother is so shocked that a 12 year old girl is curious about sexual things. I hope she sits down and talks with her daughter and doesn't just blame the school and the technology and wring her hands, clutch her…

I don't think I would mind if I found my 12-year-old reading erotica. At least they'd be reading. Private email addresses and personal photos... that's a whole other story.

I am old, so I had no access to online erotica at 12, but I was certainly writing racy stories at that age.

i don't think that was me. pretty sure i am not qualified to approve comments. but yes, heloise has some great info. also some hilariously scary info. like how to dry your underwear in the oven and wash your windows with kerosene

kitchen hints from heloise, 1962. she also recommends paprika, which i used to use mixed into the mayo, but i stopped doing it when my best friend moved in and is allergic to paprika. it was pretty good though. i like to do a slow and low temperature cooking method, cooking the turkey in the breast down position until…

THE DREAM IS ALIVE!!

I really like Mom. I know it's sort of terrible, but I don't even care. And she is so great in it!

welp, anything for shits & giggles!!

RETTA ALERT

I put this in a reply, but I'm reposting it by itself for all the people who are like "Just go to sleep earlier!"

Keep in mind that the same physiological thing that makes it hard for teens to wake up makes it hard for them to go to be early. They're wired for going to bed super late. We didn't have ianthing when I was a teen, and there was no computer in my room. I was up until 12 - 1 am doing fuck all. If I tried to go to bed…

NOTHING should start before 10am, ever. School or work. Early mornings are for peasants.

Nah. Doughy Fieri with his deep-fried hair is a poor fit. This guy grew up in France during the war and is a bit of a badass. I'm picturing Jean Reno straight out of Leon (perhaps with Matilda waiting in the alley ready to take out the mob guy).

The idea of powering down 1-2 hours before bed is recommended for everyone, not just teens. Teens, however, are going through a biological phase that prevents them from simply going to bed earlier, unlike adults.

I'd be so thrilled if you followed me, because for a brief moment in time, my notifications would say "Satan is following you." And I'd laugh and laugh.
