:D You're a good woman, BonnyKay. My daughter's 18 (graduated from HS at barely 17, works two jobs, in college) and it's hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that she's marrying a "pastor in training" come April.

Oh Mary, you are SO lucky. If I have to listen to one more "Obama's the closest thing to the Devil" and "Your dad is a highly intelligent man, with a double Master's, and he KNOWS about this stuff" lecture, I'm afraid I'll lose my mind on her! I LOVE my mother. She's an AMAZING mother (and always has been). But…

I don't get it. Both my mom and I were single moms. What is it about hitting 35 and making money that turns people into Republicans? (Serious question!)

Girl (or Boy) friend, I would hug you right now if you were in front of me! I was a teen mom (who shared an apartment with another single mom) and went to college. I got married (didn't work out) and was a single mom of two, who hung her (my) head in shame to apply for free/reduced-price lunches and snacks during…

See how reasonable you (we) are? It's not like we're quoting some random tripe (like "rape is part of God's plan" - I still don't know what to do with that). FACTS SHOW that MANY kids wouldn't get BREAKFAST OR LUNCH WITHOUT SCHOOL PROGRAMS! FACTS SHOW that MANY KIDS GO TO BED HUNGRY (without dinner), RIGHT HERE IN…

I don't condone violence, but there's a few pundits (candidates?) I'd like to pummel right now.

Can they please just stab each other? I am SO. SICK. Of this SHIT. Toss them in an arena and let them kill one another over who's more conservative/strict/a bigger dick about women's rights.

I could kiss you right now. She tried that whole "socialist country" argument with me, and I just re-iterated my "love others as yourselves" and "judge not lest ye be judged" stance.

Ugly is ugly. Farrah will ALWAYS be ugly, because it's her personality oozing out of her pores.

You're lucky. My mom is telling me that I need to "follow my religious teachings" and "the basic tenants of the Bible" and vote for Romney.

OH! OMFG!!! I said "Jesus Christ, this CANNOT be your intention!" at the ceiling!!

GAH!! ARGH!!! (I'm sorry. I had to step outside for a cig - and I quit MONTHS ago!) because this just INFURIATES me!!!!!

Kudos to you. It's not easy maintaining a relationship with steps, but I'd like to think I'd do it. My stepson is the sweetest 16 year old you'd ever meet. It AMAZES me that he came from Hubs (who can be difficult - and that's being KIND) and his certifiable (truly) ex-wife!

Yeah, "you divorce wives, not children" is SO true.

Oh, I agree! I think it's awesome. Not everyone winds up saved by a prince, you know. Some of us ladies (especially us ladies of Irish/Scottish descent) wind up saving ourselves!

I've no clue of my "genetic" father, other than the memory of being tossed (literally) across the room because I was excited Easter morn and wet myself, and that he liked to watch Baretta and Rockford Files (I still remember both theme songs). Other than that, it's a total blank. No point in wasting energy on an…

Hugh Jackman is just the shit. There's really no other way to say it. He loves his wife and his kids (their adoption stories will make you sob out loud - his wife is LOVELY!); he can pull off those atrocious Wolverine mutton-chops (and still be sexy); he spends his time off with his family, doing normal stuff like…

Belle was awesome simply because she could (and did) READ "books with no pictures!" Us little women (me) who were reading our grandmother's original copy of Gone With The Wind during summer break (no assignments there) and wondering WTF was the BIG DEAL with the movie when it wasn't even remotely NEAR as good as the…

Does anyone else notice the physical similarities of her and the Brave heroin? Or is it just me?

See, I don't recognise a single one of them, and I STILL LOVE THEM!!! Especially touching is the women with their daughters/granddaughters. We are voting for them as well, after all.
