Atlanta is awesome. I fucking love Atlanta. Very not perfect, but perfect for me.

We're trying. Well, some of us are trying. It's a slow trudge down here, and it often feels like one step forward, two steps back. I work in policy and yes, there are serious structural issues. Don't even get me started on the reasons we can't update and expand our transportation infrastructure (rage rage rage) or why…

Nooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Florida and Arizona are totally worse, I swear. Also, nuke Georgia now at the peril of Final Four and that sweet, sweet One Shining Moment montage. Damnit, Georgia, I can't take you anywhere.

Of all the typos and mistakes I see on this site day in and day out, that's the one that drove me insane, too. Homeland never shows the President. And technically, Vice Prez and fam aren't on Homeland anymore, either.

That's a good point. Even places where bars close a little later, everyone I know who stays up until dawn is doing or searching for blow, among other substances. I looooove to party, but I get pooped after a bit and am getting excited about bedtime well before 3 or 4. Especially if bedtime ends up being co-ed.

Oh don't worry, he still wants her to be thin and conventionally attractive. He just wants her to be "laid back" about it. That said, he's young, and he's an actor, so I'm not expecting much in the way of revolutionary relationship talk from him.

Appreciate the apology. Cate's quote resonated hugely with me, and to see it mocked ... Anyway, messy days happen, and good people know when to apologize.

Me too, and this quote seriously resonated with me. You have no idea how many ways you can miss a person until ... you do.

This is awesome. I suppose I could have thrown a dash of humor in my response.

Yeah, as someone who lost her beloved mother in 2011, I hope that no one ever criticizes the way I remember her and talk about her. Fuck yourself.

I have conversed with the man. Like, at dinner with family friends. He was an absolute, unequivocal asshole who basically shut down unless something was of immediate and personal interest to him. He's also condescending as fuck. Gazing at his meatball sub, to me, shows that he couldn't care less here except to…

It's not just them, this is the general trend. The national teen birth rate is 34 per 1,000 girls ages 15-19 (2010), and I believe that approximately 20% of teen births are to teens who already have at least one child.

I've never done this whole rigamarole because literally every bachelorette party I've ever been to has been a destination party. I have ponied up for all manner of accommodations in all manner of locations. Luckily, it's pretty much me and my closest friends on a short vacation together, so things could be worse.…

You are silly. I actually work in health/public policy aimed directly at making life better for children and families, and I also know that I myself do not want a family. It's not a contest between family havers and non-family havers, and if you think it is, you've been duped.

I feel just the same. I think I have it all at the moment, sans kids and sans significant other, and I also think it's possible that my definition of "all" may change as I age. Being lucky enough to define what it is to "have it all" is basically having it all.

Who's on first?

I'll drink to that.

That's such a great suggestion. I have a coworker who lives in South Georgia and got involved with her local farmer's market, and it was a great way to meet folks and improve her community.

Agree with below commenter that it's preeetttttty similar to the Housewives of Disney skit, but I did LOLZ at, "Gonna put my hand in, wish me happy landing, all I gotta do is ... this bump."

I knew I should have paid attention in Comparative Healthcare Systems ..
