This is good advice. But it is hard to follow. Especially since I love drinks 3 and 4 most of all.

I’ve seen multiple people on twitter say their young children asked “Who’s Bill Clinton? Is he related to Hillary?”

My grandmother was 89 when she passed away a month ago and in hospice at the end when she was starting to be pretty unaware and we knew it would be over soon we just went ahead and told her Hillary had been elected and my grandmother, the lifelong democrat who went back to college in her 40s, was so happy. So we need…

I’m just saying, if you had, you would have found it totally believable.

No. Miss Kitty is neatly trimmed at all times. I do not enjoy the hairless look for myself or for my partner (fortunately, she and I are in total agreement on this).

Well, as someone who stopped shaving, I’m pretty sick of everyone telling me I’m unhygenic/gross/ugly/smelly and lazy because I have hair. I’m also tired of seeing dudes (who probably wouldn’t go down anyway) claim any hair on a woman is the reason they won’t eat her out.

Speaking of getting engaged early, my mom and most of her friends were engaged by the age of 16 in 1958. Small town, old traditions, no education etc. But mom got a job, unlike most of her friends, and decided that she didn’t want to get married after all so broke it off. Her ex fiance didn’t want the ring back so she…

I hate the euphemism Shark Week as well. There are others that don’t grate on me, but Shark Week sounds like something a 12 year old boy came up with to explain periods.

The CBC sometimes does it in Punjabi too. Everyone should have the right to hear the game called in their own language.

Might I recommend Vancouver Island as well? Even prettier than Cape Breton, better weather, and a real economy.

Eat Less, Move More?

Yes, thank you! I am in the process of getting my MSW, and I don’t think a lot of people realize that becoming a social worker requires a certain set of coursework and licensing.

Hi! I’m in the process of obtaining my master’s degree in social work (and certainly not all DCFS workers have their master’s degrees; some are BA social workers) and the social work accreditation and licensing bodies do actually require us to take coursework on mental health and human development to receive our…

It really depends on the local county hiring requirements. I am a masters level social worker (MSW, LSW. Working on my independent licensure). I did 2+ years of cps work with these credentials. In fact the agency I worked for only hired masters level social workers. I left that agency and now work for a local jail…

DCF workers don’t have any right to refusal and have to take all cases which does result in overburdening. I wish people who get angry at situations like these would think that part of the problem is a resource and training issue and maybe go beyond anger and think about how the system needs to change.

Being fired for being too boring for a Real Housewife almost feels like a compliment.

I find it annoying that you INSIST that a 15 year old girl can’t do things on her own.

S.E.Hinton was 15 when she wrote the Outsiders a book that won many awards. But god forbid a 15 year old girl who was probably in the studio with her dad when she was 5 and could have been learning her craft at a very young age.

I agree, jinni. The whole system of grey and black is ridiculous.
