We have extended family raised in southern Missouri where they say “you’uns” (you all or you guys) and “eye-way” (Iowa). “Throwed” is jarring but not surprising.

I haven’t gotten tix so haven’t seen if the price went up... And I don’t remember how much it was in previous years :-(

I’m having a love/hate relationship with the fair. I want to take my kid to see the animals and farm equipment and maybe do some of the games. I have fun tasting beer at the Iowa Beer Tent. But I haaaaate the crowds and the lines and the dust/dirt and animal smells!

It will still look better than it did if any of them hadn't had a haircut all summer.

My orthodontist had a pair of those headphones with the FM tuner built in. I had to have some ridges filed down on my front teeth so they put the headphones on me and went to town with the Dremel (or y’know, the medical-grade thing just like a Dremel). I don’t understand why the medical team would have to be subjected…

Maybe, maybe not.

I’m sure she completely believes what she’s saying. Reproductive-age republican women truly exist.

I apply deodorant to my under-boob area year-round.

I've been reading everyone else's lost finger/hand injury stories just like it was a gossip rag. Read yours and I'm completely squicked out. Can't handle things with joints/limbs out of place or pointing the wrong way.

My paternal grandparents both had missing/damaged digits. Grandpa’s whole left thumb was lost in a farm equipment accident. Grandma’s right index finger was missing the tip from being shut in a car door. The nail curved over the top of the altered finger.

Was it the confederate flag? Cuz otherwise they were doing it wrong. (I'd pretend that the presidents are called by some other name by secessionists but IDK what that would be so my sarcasm stops now).

Oh but clearly you could get yourself into trouble by reading things on your own. For shame.

Personally I’d donate directly to PP. That way you know all of your donation is going to them.

Oh really? I haven’t set a charity yet!

Yeah, I’m pretty sure the civil war talk doesn't happen in pre-K. But I didn't go to pre-K so I could be wrong.

1. My son jumping around and snapping his neck or cracking his head open.

Given how labor-intensive those tiles were to make, I’d use the paw-printed one, too!

If I weren't fat I'd probably hit them up for jeans even though I'm probably 2x their age demographic target.

My kids daycare surprisingly provides sunscreen but I still had to sign a form authorizing thm to apply it.

Yeah, kind of seems like you're wasting some by vaping. Pills would be more concentrated but perhaps doesn't yield results as quickly.
