I have to have ground deer meat in something that has many other flavors (like chili) in order to eat it in place of beef. I do enjoy deer sticks, though.

No one will probably read this but here goes...

Screw your MIL for not bringing you food. Even if your baby hadn't needed extra cuddles that day, how were you supposed to make food when your kitchen was being torn apart? I would have lost my shit much sooner than 6 hours later when at 3 week PP.

This makes me want to raid my mom's attic for all her sewing patterns.

I love that DM food has been brought up at least 2x today on Kitchenette.

If you are going to Zombie Burger you either live in DSM or are making a trip there. There's a Sonic on Merle Hay are just north of I-80/35 where you can get your limeade fix.

I'm sure that Western Union had a vested interest in the failure of the telephone. But still amusing.

Infrastructure: if something happens, we didn't do our job.

I'm sure it totally looked like I quit my last job because I had a kid but that was not the case. My contract ended about a month before giving birth and did not see the point in trying to line up something else (not to mention child care) to start again right before having a human ripped from my body, not to mention…

I really think I was passed over for several jobs when I was trying to get back in the workforce after having my son. Since I was home for nearly 2 years, I really did have to explain the professional gap and couldn't hide the fact that I have a child. On one hand, if a business would hold it against me that I'm a…

If there was some sort of propellant so that the glitter did really go everywhere, I could understand assault charges since something could have rocketed into someone's eye and caused damage. This article doesn't say...

Considering that I remember FedEx not delivering (had a couple people from my Midwest office load up two company vehicles and drive shit to California because of that) I'm impressed that anyone got mail the day after.

We had a small wedding and I put it together in less than 6 months. I did all the invites myself which included first and last names of the invited parties yet still had them sent out in plenty of time. I should not have had to track down about 25% of the guest list for a response either way. We were the assholes who…

We must be related by marriage somehow.

I'm feeling some outside pressure to have a 2nd baby. There are a TON of reasons that I don't think it's a good idea for me to do it again. But the fact that I would still have to be a responsible parent if something happened to one kid and not the other is something I've considered and it terrifies me.

My first college roommate was totally sheltered growing up yet she was "allowed" to live on-campus. She had no idea how to handle that much freedom and went hog wild with drinking, partying, and fucking. I wouldn't necessarily say that a child getting to college is always a stamp of approval on the parent's parenting…

the abductor could have been one of those women who tried to have a baby and never did. She may have finally just broke and kidnapped a baby to raise as her own. She probably took really good care of Zephany...physically. I'm guessing she was probably pretty paranoid for most of the girl's childhood which probably had…

Oddly enough, Boys Town was started in Omaha, NE and their whole thing is getting kids to straighten up. It was founded by Father Flanagan so there's a slight religious angle to their methods but meh. Other commenters mention their parents threatening to send them to live with the gypsies or whatever. When you grow up…

When Nebraska first implemented Safe Havens, the laws were inadvertently written so that pretty much any minor could be left, no questions asked. Some dude left his brood of 5-7 children (don't rember exactly how many now) with the oldest being in HS. There were a few other cases of kids getting left who were old…

If my toddler were doing this, I would totally record it and send it to the grandparents. That is, if he would stay the subject of the video and not immediately attempt to take the phone away to play with it. Anyway, I doubt I'd even post it on my social media. I couldn't even watch this all the way through.
