Yes! An example of an easy one... If grandma is asking grandkid for a hug/kiss before leaving, and grandkid says no, and grandma is like “cmon you love your grandma, I need a hug before you go!” As a parent, or simply an adult, RESPECT THAT! No “go Kiss your grandma!” I know Grammy wants some loving, but teaching…

Agreed but I would be 110% cool with separate train cars...

I LOVE Al Roker when he is actually doing meteorological weathery real things!

Also, one thing we don’t think about often is... Never make a kid hug someone (ie grandma, grandpa, etc). The whole... “come and give me a hug! hug your grandma! give your aunt a kiss!” while the kid is saying no.... Kids should never be forced to touch someone outside of their personal space that they have decided…

Exactly. I struggle with this. God I’ve been wanting her to leave, but what do I know about their relationship? It’s not my decision to make. Even if I was her best friend I wouldn’t know everything. But I can’t help but feel good about it. But Zachary Braff commentary? C’mon.

I wonder if it’s a regional thing? I would never have one, I’m not even having a wedding (or party after), but both of my sisters did and most everyone else Middle class baptist in Texas I know has.

“the rate of alleged sex crimes against Rikers’ female inmate population was at 8.6 percent”

Goodness. I didn't realize Turing was launched by the Skrelz the same year of the fall. The guy is so bad at being evil he couldn't even profit off of being an evil douche more than a year. Sheesh.

One long car drive at Christmas as a kiddo with my two sisters my dad wrote these lyrics to the tune of We Three Kings:

Hilarious, indeed. But relevant info to the case.

It’s even more mediocre when you take into account that (especially in rich white schools) most of the top students have GPAs well over 4.0 because of the availability of AP and IB classes. I think I graduated with a 4.7 or such (and went to UT), and was still only 13th or so in the class. She obviously either didn’t…

Is that for realz? Wow.

I have this weird little mutt named Oliver Pickles- God bless him he is sweet as hell, but just not very smart and super goofy... He just doesn’t really *get* it (not that a dog needs to- side note: I hate people who go on and on about how sssmmmaarrrtttt their dog is. I’m like, cool... Do you need to be smart to be a…

When I think of Hillary having to stand on a stage and “debate” Trump, I feel physically ill for her. The amount of idiocy, now with no attempt, even, for complete sentences, just yelling, that she’s had to endure between this and Benghazi... I don’t know how she does it. I guess on a bright note I’ll get to see that…

I miss Lincold Chafee... I just wanted to pinch those little cheeks and say, “you’re so cute! Who’s a good boy? Who’s a good boy?”

Yes! Yes! Yes!

I don’t know why “the guy who avoided mud” was the funniest, most perfect, “that makes so much sense,” line.

There was a comprehensive stat breakdown I can't find again. Murder isn't that common, but physical assault is something, if I remember correctly, 3 of 4 will experience. There are a few numbers here: https://www.osha.gov/newsrelease/na…

Yes! And in professions where person on person violence is the danger, social workers and healthcare workers experience more violence than police officers.

Noooooooooooooo!!!
