It was always the fridges that blew my mind. We never had enough to eat as kids so I couldn’t believe there were people with such amazing, well stocked fridges.

I have to assume that the person she is talking to on the phone at the beginning is also the person she was talking to on the phone at the beginning of “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.” 15 years later and she’s still dealing with this motherfucker.

You need a new job. Immediately. Do the parents of the child you care for know you hate kids? Jesus Christ.

Our son is here because my meds reduced the efficacy of the Pill.

This comment is great. My first daughter was a birth control fail. With my second daughter I had two choices, I could quit, or I could take two weeks unpaid, and only two weeks. The company called it “temporary disability.” So after an emergency c-section I went back to work full time after two weeks off cause it was…

I’m seeing an awful lot of classist privilege in these comments.

I didn’t have kids until my mid-30s. I know I would have had a happy life if it turned out we didn’t have children. I’ve also had a happy life with my kids and spouse. Sure, children can cause you heartbreak and worry. But I’ve lived long enough that I have parents in their 8os, with health issues and dementia, giving…

So, anyone ever say they want to be something like a lawyer or doctor? Any one know someone who’s been to med school or law school and heard them say it’s “fun”? Why would having a child be any different? It’s not a pet. It’s not supposed to be fun. The first few years are, indeed, difficult. The first few months can…

My sister passed away the day after, on April 22nd. She definitely left a blast crater as well. I hope I can get through this.

“When your mom dies you’re the best memory of her. Everything you do and say is a memory of her.”

That seemed more like an argument against having a draft at all than against having women included.

They're going to be really disappointed. $10k doesn't go that far.

There is a lot to unpack here.

“Robert E. Lee” came in second.

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high but I think she would do a wonderful job!

I try to talk about it here. I cannot talk about it on Facebook. My friends who are for Bernie are RABID DOGS if you challenge them. So, I argue with people here, and occasionally, run into a person willing to have a rational argument. Occasionally. I’m running into a lot of people who have very similar talking…

Thanks for the link! I have been staying away from facebook all day to avoid people who think my supporting Hillary is basically the same as running an illegal puppy organ smuggling ring.

It seems very, very likely she’ll both be nominated, and win. I am pretty stoked about the likelihood of the first woman President! And one endorsed by NARAL and Planned Parenthood, too!

This was pretty much my take on it. At the rip old age of 44 (solidly Gen-X), I have no issue with occasional tokers (which my millennial son is), but I have no interest in it, especially as I am subject to random drug testing for work. Of course medical marijuana is legal here in Los Angeles, and I am sure…

I’m a Gen Xer (on the older side of, but within the spread), and it just seems immature to me. Plus, simple possession is still illegal where I live, so my SO, if s/he smoked pot, would have to never bring any into the house or car. ‘Cause I’m not being put at risk just because you wanna live like you’re fifteen.
