What I hate most about the whole "having it all" discussion is that it assumes that all women want the same things, and that until you want those things, you're not fully adult or complete. I think I have an amazing life- I've got a decent job, great friends, a warm and supporting family, and a husband who cleans up…

Totally guessing here, but I wonder if they make more at part time jobs because they're working part-time jobs for longer, either due to children or other obligations, or just because they can't find anything else.

I think that's what this lady's sign said too!

I drove past a Canadian abortion protest on the weekend. It was one old lady, two blocks away from a hospital, sitting at the side of the road under a text-only anti-abortion sign and knitting.

I always thought it'd be cool to go out as the crazy cat lady. I honestly don't see a downside.

So where did they find any stress-free parents to use as a control group?

She's mine, although she's fully grown now. She's a (totally adorable) holy terror and hates anything confining her in any way. When I got her fixed, the vet recommended putting a cone on her neck to stop her from licking the stitches. Within 2 minutes, she had three paws stuck underneath and I thought she'd…

I know what you're thinking about doing, and I do not approve.

Crap- there I go, outing myself as a poor.

I got married after living with my partner for a few years. I saw it less of a 'binding myself to one person under the eyes of God" and more "Declaring in front of friends and family that I really love this guy". I know that he felt the same way. There weren't even any tax benefits like people have mentioned. In…

"Pristine bathroom floor"... *snigger*.

I'd be willing to bet the ability to compromise has a lot to do with it as well. I come from a fairly conservative (in a Canadian way) Christian background, and once some of those people get it in their heads that something is the 'right' way, there is no changing it for any reason.

Isn't the whole point of an infinity pool that it's set beside or near enough to water that when you look out the boundary of the pool and the ocean is lost? This is just an overflowing bath tub.

There is no reason. None whatsoever. Growing up, I didn't even know that Zwarte Piet was supposed to look like that. My parents made no mention of it, and when the school that I went to (that had mostly Dutch students), had people dress up at Sinter Klaas and Piet, they didn't use any black face at all. I was in…

So all my Dutch-Canadian older relatives (or at least the ones on Facebook) are cracking out their pictures of Zwarte Piet (I refuse to post a picture, so you'll have to google it if you're not familiar). Every year this 'tradition' is more and more publicly recognized as being racist as shit, which means every year…

I'm not using this verse as justification for abortion, any more than I want to stone adulterers. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of using the bible to justify being anti-abortion.

To be honest, I never really grew out of grunge. I've been using the excuse that I walk to work to avoid doing my hair for ages. I'm totally up for some shredded jeans, though. And baggy overalls!

We need a new grunge era, stat.

I saw a bunch of people change their facebook cover pictures to a giraffe as the result of incorrectly answering a riddle.

With me and my friends it was CK One as well! We must be close to the same age. Graduate high school in the late 90s?
