My hair is fucking on fire with rage over this. How dare she “leave” her child with it’s father?!?!? He is half responsible for that child existing. There should be no question that a father should be adequately capable and responsible for keeping the child alive and thriving. Why does our society put the full burden

A quick Google shows that you don’t need to switch your license from your home state when you’re a student. A student can also vote where they’re going to school, as long as they’re not registered elsewhere. This is something that has been heavily litigated in areas where there are large student bodies, especially

Those are all good questions. If he had this kind of compulsion and it wasn’t treatable, it didn’t start after he was married. Why did he get married to begin with? I understand wanting to be with someone, but if you feel the need to be with other people also and the SO isn’t down with that, then don’t get married. He

You’re confusing embarrassment with guilt. We feel guilt over everything. Embarrassment means you have to acknowledge something to anyone other than yourself, whereas guilt is something you can steep in silently. Just how they like it.

He needs an editor, eh?

Consumer Reports prefered a couple of repellents with 20% Picaridin over most DEET ones, but one 25% DEET one made their cut. I’d stick with ones they suggest:

Yeah. I’ve had several losses already and we had started testing with the IVF specialists when we got pregnant again, and I’m in a few high-risk categories, so she really wants us to not take any chances getting over the finish line with this one. Fingers crossed.

Yeah, the irony is that I grew up in VT and HATE the cold. We went up to visit family last Feb. and my son got so sick while we were there, with a double ear infection and a lung infection. I told them we’re skipping the state in the COLD months now, which is basically Nov - May! (I doubt I’ll be able to sit for a 5

So I’m right outside of NYC, and there’s not been any cases of locally transmitted Zika here so far. CT has 39 cases of Zika, including some pregnant women, but they’ve all traveled to areas south of Florida, where they were infected. My Dr doesn’t want me headed to any warmer spots, because by her reasoning, it’s

I am currently pregnant, and my doctor has banned us from traveling out of the North East until I deliver next spring. She said it wasn’t worth the risk, especially since no one can get their acts together, and nobody can figure out the real risks associated with an infection at *any time* during pregnancy. There went

I can’t believe I fucking missed that, first because Dodai is a national treasure and I miss her still... but second, because just when I didn’t think I could get more offended, she ramped that shit up. Seriously, the whole fucking family needs a padlock on their goddamn lips. Holy shit, I’m still in shock from what I

I bow down to Kara, who just knocked it so far out of the ballpark this week. It was solid judicial work and has set me up to quit the internet for the day, so nothing else ruins my weekend!

Don’t forget the drug use and jail time by the mayors. Ganim got reelected, so America does love a good redemption story. I think of Waterbury more for the pedophilia mayor and corrupt politicians that come out of there, like Gov. Rowland.

You forgot to mention you have poutine. (That’s gravy fries with cheese, for the rest of you heathens.) Canada is a kinder, gentler version of the US. There’s only a few problems with Canada. Tar sands, snow, (all the freaking snow!!!) and it’s historical treatment of First Nation natives. Also, we can’t gloss over

America’s BACKPACK, not hat!

We need details, or at least links!!

Comment of the YEAR! All the stars!!

Not to mention who is going to care for the child, if it outlives you. I’ve already told my husband that I cannot put that kind of burden on my other child, to be the lifelong caretaker of a totally dependent sibling that they had no say into bringing into this world.

You’re better off using the products with Picaridin, according to Consumer Reports. 2 of the products with 20% Picaridin were the most effective, compared to 1 of the 25% DEET.

Agreed, it’s a bit baffling. My SIL lived with us for 8 months after graduation to figure out her best options. Commuting into the city on the train was easier and cheaper because our house is only a 6 minute walk to the train station, and used our vehicles while she was here. She now lives in Astoria, pays $800 a
