Man, I don’t get the nursing pump hate. Sure, it’s cow-like if you want to think of it that way.

It’s no Restoration Hardware. 

Through all the turmoil our government is going through right now I can’t help but fear that rather than discovering our government is filled with smart but deeply flawed, complex characters harboring dark secrets we’re finding out in real time that our country is ruled by a bunch of small, petty, greedy men just like…

Just because something’s used “in the medical community”, it doesn’t necessarily follow from that that it’s an actual term of art.

Ye’, I understand what you meant.

I get the exhaustion though. I do. Whenever I feel something, it’s not enough for me to say it. I have to convince my parents and (later) my husband that it’s true. All of them, by the way, have labeled me melodramatic. It’s never the case they’re blowing me off when I say how I feel in the first place.

How can essential public services be slashed to the bone and this kind of thing still be justified?

No wedding (foreign or domestic) would be complete without the groom’s drunk ex-girlfriend in the red dress making a statement. I think it’s the law.

Also, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from The Lion King is all about Simba death upon his father.

Excuse me, no. Little Women is Professor Bhaer’s most famous film.

At the same time, a chiropractor will gladly snap the neck of your newborn, and a naturopath will prescribe blueberry extract and the parents’ ear plugs for whooping cough.

When I read that my mind pictured Jon Lovitz and I was like this is a really weird joke that I don’t get.

I read your comment as Ronan Farrow and Jon Lovitz. Yikes!

I’m over it. I want some ridiculous wide legs and I don’t give a fuck about what is in. Side note, I just had a birthday and am feeling my age.

That’s not universal, though. We don’t have a general non emergency number in my county. All crime reports go through 911 and they ask you if it’s an emergency.

I used to think 911 was a life and death thing, then I called the non-emergency number in my large urban city with a very non-emergency police services request and they transferred me to 911. Apparently all mundane police requests are sent to 911 to get put in the dispatch system. (Though obviously this is still not a…

Mom? Holy shit. That was my mom’s name, too.

Little kids know what boobs are for. When my daughter was like four, we were in the mall and some lady was nursing her baby on a bench and my kid marches up to her and says “Oh, is your baby drinking your milk? Awww, that’s so nice! Hi, baby! I hope you like your milk!” and I was mortified but the mom said that was…
