I dissected a cat. And a fetal pig, and a frog. I had to skin the cat because my (male) lab partner couldn't do it. It's surprisingly easy to skin a cat. That's most of what I remember from that experience.

Caroline is going away at the end of the year. I think she was a later doll, but I'm in the throes of buying all the remaining outfits before the end of the year for my daughter. We've already suffered through the loss of Felicity with the older one. :/

THIS. I have had SO MANY conversations about what is and isn’t bullying with my kids. It’s not either all roses and love or bullying, there are middle states of existence.

Did you see Huckabee’s response? Something along the lines of how this proves that it’s illegal to be a Christian in this country. NO, HUCKABEE. NO.

Right? I don't know why everyone acts like you have to be one extreme or the other. You can appreciate the need for law enforcement without rubber stamping all police actions. You can object to the institutionalized racism that's implicit in some departments without wanting all cops dead.

I'm not familiar with Cade or Lorde. Which works are a good entry point, do you think?

Right? Are duels still a major problem there or is that a nationwide thing or what?

That’s what gets me with this bullshit. Orthodox Jews are the only ones that I think have a solid religious argument against gay marriage. Christians have nothing to stand on here. 1) they’re actively ignoring the other prohibitions from that section of Leviticus, which they excuse on the grounds that 2) Christ…

My kids used to be all over the Subway sandwiches, until they had jersey mikes. Worth a try.

I’ve only said the “I’ll never shop here again” once. It was six years ago and I really never have shopped there again. My laptop died, so I went to the Fry’s, which was running a laptop special. I was waiting for someone to help me, and a guy who was also waiting started chatting with me about which computer I was…

Best use of the navy seals I've heard in a while. Oooh, or a job for the new female army Rangers, since the army isn't so much into giving them real ranger jobs yet?

I thought that Ansel kid was the enemy?

Right? And the super judgey attitude when Emily got pregnant. Like, fuck toy, Summer.

Best day of my parenting life was when both offspring figured out how to make sandwiches AND cereal. They're now as good in the kitchen as my former mother in law.

I can’t star consistently tonight so take a comment instead. :) my in laws use the worst cheap toilet paper I've ever encountered. I swear to god, I'm packing my own the next time we visit.

I spent way too much of my evening wondering where shade court was, and I only just now—in the last hour of the day—realized it's been Thursday all this time. :(

As someone who lives in Texas, I think it needs to be pointed out that the vast majority of drivers don't use their blinkers when changing lanes. I can't imagine why that would suddenly result in being pulled over. If it was universally applied, 80% of the state would be ticketed within a week.

I saw an interview with the uncle where he said that he gave Dylann the money specifically to buy the gun. So it was a present but not purchased by the uncle. I'm not sure if that's true, but that's what I read.

Yep. In my divorce the judge refused to look at, admit or consider the arrest records from the years of abuse because since I never pressed charges it wasn't a thing. But letters, not even notarized, letters written from friends of my ex that hadn't met me or only met me once, those bad boys are in the records. Family…

All the time. The most terrifying time was during the divorce, which lasted ten months. We were legally bound not to change any legal paperwork. So if I’d died then, he’d have gotten the life insurance, the kids, no settlement or child support, and the house. Plus the end of legal bills. And he knew my work schedule…
