I’m not having the best time mentally - the holidays always bring it about, combined this time around with Mr. Duck being between jobs for the second time this year - and I’m resisting making Major Life Decisions until I’m a little healthier in the brain. (For instance, I am both seriously considering working on…
I felt like the episode as a whole wasn’t as good as others in recent seasons, which was disappointing because I’m a fan of Steve Carell.
“Can you imagine 25 years of marriage, to one person, even Barack Obama? Or 25 years of anything?”
Oh, children. You don’t imagine the time. You imagine the things you’d like to do with your time. And then you try to do them.
(Just celebrated 26 years of marriage with Mr. UrbanAchiever and no, we didn’t imagine it. We…
Why is it so important to call out white women over and over? Whites generally vote GOP, they’re the only “by race” demographic who give the Republicans a consistent majority of their votes aren’t they?.
My mom went through a rough patch where I bore the brunt as the oldest kid (got yelled at a lot and occasionally hit or grabbed roughly - overall she was a good parent, but after my parents divorced and we moved away for her new job, she reverted a bit to the ways she was raised). Anyway, I worried a bit about it too…
I’m wondering why your dad let your mom be bad cop all the time.
Curious - was your mom the primary parent? It’s a lot easier to discipline effectively when you’re given a break.
I’m impatient and frustrate easily. It’s amazing how much patience I can muster for my kid. I didn’t have a good model for parenting, but I love my son so fiercely that making him feel that love and giving him every opportunity to be a happy, well-adjusted person have been at the center of how I parent. My kid is 14.…
“the far superior Live Through This by Hole”
Accurate. I think I convinced myself in high school that In Utero was better than Nevermind because it felt too basic to think Nevermind was Nirvana’s best album. But...it is. From start to finish. And it’s not just because Nevermind is more accessible, it’s because...it’s not as good as it thinks it is??? In Utero…
Congrats, fellow geriatric!
A few years ago when I started going back to school, I came on Jezebel and posted about it and some people were saying “Go you!” And praising me for being a woman seeking a degree in engineering (I didn’t even mention I was 40 at the time, so not just a woman, but a middle aged woman). And it was so fantastic to have…
WTF is wrong with boot-cut jeans?

This line of thinking drives me up the wall. I was a nurse for ten years in locked psych. We had patients that were violent. Yet, in my old profession, we did not raise a hand to them. We de-escalated, we redirected, we disarmed. All without a weapon or military grade armor. Just me, my NACs and nurses, all in scrubs.
One bit of good news for today.
I just feel fucking terrible generally.
