...and someday you can look back and know that you did your part to stop an orange cloud of fascism from taking over your country, even if it wasn’t you who stood the most to lose.

I’d like to let anyone reading this know that there are AA meetings across every town and country at every time of day. You don’t have to pay any money to attend a meeting or even give anyone your real name. All it costs you is an hour (sometimes an hour and a half) of your time.

I adore the Swedish royals. They are the anti-British royals. They’re warm, friendly, very open to the public and you can really tell they are a family who cares about each other. They’re ridiculously good-looking and are busy creating the new generation of completely adorable new royal babies.

Juneau it.

He has reason to be pissed too. When he was born, the line of succession hadn’t been changed to absolute primogeniture yet, so for about a year he was the FIRST in line to the throne, until the evil feminists lawmakers of Sweden changed this.

You mean Jamie Dornan, who was amazing in The Fall and has yet to have his Hollywood debut?

Oh boy. I had the MIL come to help with the baby too and while it was nice mostly, the heavy dose of judgment for wanting to go back to work was not.

One year we had an Aladdin themed recital and the costume for my tap dance was a camel. Does that count?

This was my last one before Serious Ballet time en pointe et all. I wish you had a princess class so you too could dress up as whatever the eff you wanted that day in ballet.

ETA: In hindsight, this may have been a “subtle” way to hint at wanting a puppy to my parents.

I remember hearing about a father whose child had been murdered by another man in cold blood. Really chilling murder. The father shot and killed the murderer in the courthouse at some point during the trial. He (the father) went to trial as well (separately, of course) and was acquitted by the jury. Have to say I…

This guy’s lawyer says: “It’s very rare that someone is involved in a homicide case with someone they just had a baby with.”

Gawd, right? It’s like we don’t even need to quote her anymore. Just shorthand her name and we ALL know what’s being said.

Margaret Atwood.

“My daddy thinks I’m fine” wasn’t a good reason for Amy Winehouse not to go to rehab, and it isn’t a good reason for you to marry the guy who molested you.

No rape involved, but when I was 17, I got my also 17 girlfriend pregnant. Being two immature teens, we decided to marry, because “love trumps everything” and all that bullshit, even AGAINST the will of our parents! I got a court order (because we’re minors) and, long story short, two years later we’re divorced…

I had a friend my freshman year (we were both 14) who was dating her 20-something-year-old youth pastor. And her mom was totally OK with it. He went along on family outings and, once or twice, came along to events with all the 14-year-old girls. I remember, even then, thinking it was the creepiest thing ever.

Yes, in Missouri being married to someone at the time of the offense is an affirmative defense for statutory rape. edit: Missouri’s age of consent is 14 if you’re under 21 and 17 if you’re over 21.
