Hubby and I had more conflict over picking a first dance song than any other aspect of the wedding. He wanted “Perfect Day” by Lou Reed from Trainspotting. I wanted “Love song for a vampire” by Annie Lennox from Dracula. We ended up with “Only you” by the Flying Pickets, I think mostly because it was cute and had no…

If he's proved to be a serial rapist, regardless of his age, does that open the way to hold accountable all the people who enabled and covered for him? That is what would make a real difference, IMO.

And her allergies are located in her vagina? There's no defense regardless.

I admire your restraint in not kidnapping that daughter and getting her vaccinated. Illegal? Sure. But if a vaccine that stops cancer. Stops. Cancer.

I wonder how this is going to play out in the election. Hard for Hillary to not follow the same protocol but I live in a college centric city in a swing state and not visiting it is political suicide.

How is one supposed to anticipate whether a medical situation might cause TSA agents to lose it? Partially blind and deaf wouldn’t have occurred to me as a problem - certainly not given she was traveling with someone else who could help her.

My mom does this now, actually. She’s the backup emergency contact for the three nearest houses with kids (plus a few more, I think, not sure). Mostly it’s smoothing over scheduling difficulties - to pick someone up from school or practice, get a meal started so that dinner happens on time, somewhere to park the sick…

Carrying clothes between floors is theft, and carrying previously purchased items with receipt around the store is also theft. I think they’ve made it illegal to shop at Macy's.

Or he was trying to make sure she only targeted him.

Narcotics are supposed to be disabled by the time they go through an infant’s digestive system - which is why narcotic painkillers can be prescribed for nursing women. I suspect that the cocaine exposure was through more than just breast milk.

When it started, the contest really highlighted the ‘unadoptable’ shelter dogs which is a worthy cause as a lot of great animals are overlooked due to physical imperfections.

Part of the reason men writing romantic novels end up in literary fiction is because they can’t compete with the novels in the romance category. There is a lot of money there, but much tougher competition.

The idea that ‘suicidal people will just find another way’ is not accurate. A gun in the home increases the likelyhood of a suicide happening at all, not just the likelyhood of it happening with a gun.

Maybe the airline is liable if they don’t get rid of a “known risk” passenger immediately. Unless there is an Air Marshal on board to sit on the guy, a different seat won’t keep him from potentially manhandling the flight attendants. Or leaving the seat.

In the original fairy tales they were dead, or looked dead. It’s a weird trope: women are supposed to civilize monsters (beauty&beast) while men are supposed to revive dead women (sleeping beauty, Snow White).

Love (of NRA money) is stronger than hate (of thoughts and prayers speeches).

I think it's reasonable for an elected official to be held accountable by his electorate.

I feel your pain. My husband, who has previously appeared sane on gun related issues, has recently started floating some gun nut nonsense and approaching the idea of getting a gun of his own (for self defense and not hunting purposes).

It’s pretty difficult to change someone’s mind when their livelihood, identity, and social circle all depend on holding on to the same ideas.

You don't need to injure the wolf, you need to startle it. An injured wolf is going to start fighting to protect itself. A startled wolf is going to back off and await developments, or take off looking for easier prey.
