I can’t lie, I would read an update about this.  There’s some things that inquiring people need to know.

Eh, I’m not sure about this. When my mother and grandmother went to the priest at their church (in Vermont) to try and prevent my gay nephew from getting confirmed, the priest told them it was between my nephew and god, and that they needed to mind their own damn business. You’d be surprised how much variety and…

I read somewhere that this is *why* she escaped this shit show.

Maybe look at what states are spending money on before being pissed at state taxes. There’s a lot of shit that the federal government doesn’t pay for. Some of us have public school systems that are worth sending your kids (and the neighbors kids,) to, rather than having to shell out for private education like many of…

I did mention I got it for free! :D I just got 2 small boxes for $20, I think 12 bags of it. Certainly not the economical choice, but it is yummy. (My son’s troop just offered everyone the funraiser buyout option for $260 this year, and I jumped on it, because selling it around the office even in NYC raises a few…

All it takes is one gung-ho husband who was all about scouting when he was a kid... and bam, you’re suddenly at one of the local schools one Wednesday night a month doing Cub Scout meetings.  

I used to think the Boy Scouts popcorn was a crap alternative, and then I got a free case of this microwave popcorn, and I was converted.

It’s like they’re blind to implicit bias.  They don’t practice overt racism, so they’re certain that they’re not racists.  Jesus, people lack self awareness.

Yes, it’s truly a shame that someone like Trump procreated that much.  Ugh.  Idiocracy, in live action.

You should take up the talking point. Don’t bring up the comparison, just bitch about it. When he mentions Obama golfing, shut him down with the numbers and ask when homeboy is supposed to be working. Since it got him so heated before, he won’t logically be able to find his way out without pushing Trump onto a sword,…

Take my star, you actually made me LOL!

You know what you can do? Switch seats! I watched 3 people coordinate swaps on a recent flight from Miami to LaGuardia. It was amazing, people actually talked to each other!
On another note, from all your comments, you sound like you’ve had poor experiences with kids. I’m sorry for your trauma.

AMEN! We were filing the year after we had our son, and were expecting to have a refund because of the new dependent deduction, and we were hit with a $10k bill.  That HURT.

You’ve shared a gem! I’m only sorry I haven’t seen this video sooner!! I wish I had more stars to give you!

There’s no “more or less,” we DO agree about vaccinations. I just know that some people utilize a twisted logic that isn’t along the lines of what the Jenny McCarthy people believe. (No one has ever mentioned autism to me, as a reason that vaccinations make them nervous.) Many in the “rich white” demographic just…

Absolutely. They are bad at math. The fact that they haven’t seen how bad the disease is, (many of us have only experienced chicken pox, if that,) and have other non-experts telling them that the diseases really aren’t that bad, they’re betting that even if they’re nailed by the low risk, it’s not going to be bad.…

This ignores the nuance of the decision to not vaccinate. There is a small but amorphous risk to a child getting an illness. Maybe they will, maybe they won’t. If you vaccinate, there are real potential side effects, but it benefits society (the entire population,) as a whole.

Nope, you’re absolutely right. WARNING: There is so much privilege in what I’m about to write. It’s embarrassing, but apparently Trump only cares about people who are white and privileged, so it might get through to him.

You’re describing my experience with alcohol completely!  My doctor discovered that I have a genetic liver condition that decreases my liver’s ability to process as efficiently, the older I have gotten.  I’m happy for the experiences of my younger days, but it’s just not worth feeling like that the next day, to even…

Yeah, but for some of us, the older we get, the harder it is for our bodies to cope with the hangover. In college, we could go on a 4 day bender and still make it to class and write papers and meet up with friends at the union with no problems. A couple of weeks ago, I was on an adults only vacation and we just had 4…
