Weird. That’s my parenting motto.

I am insanely jealous you got to spend the night! I went there in April of 2014 and just took the tour. But the lady in the gift shop showed me an intense photo of a ghost in the house and there was a man in a cape who swept through our tour. Also, I think calling Irish maids Maggie was standard racism in the 1890s. A…

Yeah, I know. I know. I talked to them and vetted everything they said (like I do for all my sources), because you are right, they don’t have a good reputation. But in this case it all checked out. So, I did quote them. But, I do know how you feel.

Yeah, I think so too. But it’s insane how many people take them seriously.

Taking bets on when he kills his first peasant. I’m going for 12. But I’m an optimist.

I have spoken with a PhD in a chemistry-related feild for every single one of these essays and I have someone who is a chem professor proofread them. All of them.

There are many kinds of PEGs that do many things. Nothing was murkey. There is a better explaination of emulsifiers in the sulfates articles that I thought would be redundant to repeat. Not really seeing your science error.

Everyone is trying to sell you something.

That is really not an accurate interpretation of what this is. Watchdog agencies say watch out. Scientists say it’s fine. The gov’t says it’s fine. The people studying and trying to stop cancer? I think everyone in the previous groups would classify themselves as such.

I hope you didnt think I was casting PEGs in a negative light. I’m all for them, just tyring to suss out why people freak out abou them. But I do find the arguments about cumulative exposure to be worth looking into.

Okay, fun science experiment: Take an egg and put it in the palm of your hand. Then, using only that one hand, try to crush it. You can’t do it. Eggs, like vaginas, are surprisingly resilient.

That woman is my hero.

Inspiring this .gif will be my best and only legacy.

I mean, it’s worth a shot. Right? And conservatives can’t object because it doesn’t cause abortions, probably.

Okay, I am just guessing here. But for my 4yo’s school there is a list of things they need to have in their lunches per the rules of the state—two servings of a fruit/vegetables, one serving of a bread (grain) and one serving of protein. We’ve had emails sent to the parents that remind us that potatoes are not…

RIGHT?!

No, they just say they triple purify it. I couldn’t get more detailed info about the purification process from Vaseline because it’s proprietary. I guess.

We live in the midwest. It is always cold. We are always so cold. So. Cold.

Oh man. Nothing really dissolves petrolatum. Nothing you want to put on your skin anyway. This just wipes it off.
