Hm, you may have given me the courage to speak up!

Apparently being exotic doesn’t mean one has manners.

I want to feel festive and joyous for Christmas but it’s been hard. You’d think having a toddler around would help me feel excited for everything but it hasn’t helped. We have a tree (a real one even because I don’t want to store a fake one the other 11 months of the year) and I found 2 different Christmas stations on…

There were a few in my HS who had babies while in HS but they didn't attend the reunion. Wish I'd had the good sense not to go, either!

No, that perhaps she was doing what she could for these kids when the school district was not following up with families that needed help. They saw a pattern with this particular employee instead of looking into why she was doing it.

Madeline, you didn’t miss much at the 10-year reunion if it went anything like mine. Very few people showed up and half of them said they had a nine-year-old child...by our 10 year HS reunion. Never again!

I had a few instances where my lunch account was low when I was a kid (before the days of prolific email). They let me have my normal lunch with the promise that my account would be brought current. It was always paid back within a day or two.

Yes, but 6 weeks is the earliest I've seen any daycare take a baby.

There’s some Nordic country which has a naming ministry where all baby names must be approved. When I see names like you describe, I sorely wish the US had an authority to prevent that sort of nonsense.

My husband liked that name but I nixed it for exactly the reason you describe.

Oliver was on our short list. Don't feel bad!

I saw someone named Shampayne comment on a relative’s FB page. Took me a minute to realize it was the phonetic spelling of champagne. The white trash stereotype certainly held true in this instance.

I swipe my antiperspirant under my boobs after showering. It's way more convenient and cleaner than baby powder. I've been doing that for roughly 5 years now and they don't get all irritated anymore.

I didn’t think any of the mail-order catalogs were named for real people. I guess Harriet Carter is likely a real person, too.

It would.

I’m also overweight and passed my GD with flying colors! My cholesterol OTOH... let’s not discuss that.

You bellowed?

Aw, that does suck. I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Nine hundred bucks for a sweater!?!? Yeah, KTZ can definitely afford to donate profits from that sweater.

Fucking Assholes!
