Ewww, but then you’re on call 24/7. It would take a lot more than $70k to own all my time.

That’s less than what you need to have a basic lifestyle in LA. Cost of living fluctuates. What you can live on in Nebraska isn’t the same as urban centers like Washington D.C., LA, NYC, etc...

What the heck is the wizardry going on in that GIF?!?!? 

It’s not petty, it’s introducing a counter argument to his “alternate facts.” What a douche bag he was!

My fully Filipino BIL considers himself and his family white, to the point that he won’t let his daughter check any other box on her college apps, so I’m going to go out on a limb and say maybe it’s more common to self identify as white than you think.

The fear of Pence had been mine before he started doing the transition bullshit in earnest, and now we know that Trump will pander to the fundies as well as all the billionaire oligarchs, so I think that Trump is now the greater evil. Pence won’t get into bed with Putin and allow our government to be a puppet for…

Reading =/= comprehending it. (Hey, she even highlighted certain areas as “important,” but according to the priests who ruled my Catholic elementary and middle school with iron fists, IT’S ALL IMPORTANT!) LOL

I’m looking at almost $28k for infant care next year. $20k for tuition is seeming cheap right now. :/

Wait, Subarus are considered old at 9? I don’t think so! My husband is rocking his 2007 Legacy GT and refuses to give it up for something bigger for our growing family. I only gave up my 2001 Outback 4 years ago because I wanted newer safety features for our newborn, but I replaced it with a 2011 Outback. (We gave…

I miss the social aspects more than anything. To get work done, you have to keep yourself regimented and on a routine. If there are distractions, you need to remove them. Otherwise, the productivity can diminish greatly. To save real estate costs in my location, my firm kicked about 2/3 of us to work “remotely”…

No joke. My now Father-in-Law got into at least 1 accident a year for the first 8 years my husband and I were dating. The whole family makes him a passenger now.

I seriously don’t get all the interest in other people’s reproductive habits. I mean, I’ve got kids even, and I don’t judge. (I can understand - these things are expensive and take a lot of time.) What works as a choice for one person isn’t a good choice for another person. I have found that when I talk about my…

MTA doesn’t operate only the direct subways within the city, but also the rail lines that go out to the burbs, who are the folks much more likely to be driving into the city themselves. Check out the schedules. Try going from downtown after a late night in the office, (we’re not talking 7PM late, either.) You’re…

I’m guessing intimidation and the theory of “if you throw enough eyeballs/resources, someone’s bound to notice if something hinky starts up.” (My husband didn’t whip out the phone fast enough, but if we’d been 10 feet backwards, you could see that there was the same police presence that wrapped around the corner of…

You’re misinformed if you think the trains run 24/7. There’s a lot of people who use taxis and livery services to get home after hours, as well.

Yes, it’s already been a shitshow. Police 5-6 deep, for a full block and a half in any direction. This pic is from before they put up the extra barriers and travel restrictions in the area. It literally took 40 minutes to get through this area walking, the traffic was even worse.

Damn it! My husband says the same thing about me. He’s going to be very gratified when I show him this.

Yeah, but there’s something delicious about watching your child rip into wrapped presents on birthdays and holidays. I was firmly behind you before I had a child, now all his stuff gets wrapped. All the adults, though, they get bags or reusable gift boxes with no tissue or bags needed!

Not where there’s a long driveway or nosy neighbors. Gotta live in the “right towns.” There’s been more car break-ins than package stealing.

If she’s lucky they are. Nursing is no joke, when you have a good supply. I wouldn’t wish the torture of poor supply on anyone. Unfortunately mine never looked that way when they were in production mode.
