Wow—-your buddy is a selfish jerk. Gross!

That is completely awful—glad the parents stepped up and did what they could after, but totally lame that it happened!

She bit your ass hard enough for blood?! GODDAM! That is awful and impressive! Mine used to leave welts, and gave me some impressive bruises (including one on my sternum), but no blood.

I'm a Seattleite too! I've been keeping our awesome weather on the DL from East Coast friends...

I'm looking at Team Cat....

I'm a Seattleite too! I've been trying not to let everyone else know how amazing the weather here has been—but it's AWESOME right now!!!

I did my student teaching in the South, which led to my favorite soundbite from a teacher ever. "If he were any slower, his parent's would have to water him. Bless his heart."

If you aren't consistent with the reaction/consequences he won't know what the line actually is. Maybe talk with him at a non-troubled time and come up with a clear consequence for every time—then when he hits you can immediately implement the consequence.

Nope, not single. His wife, who was dying of cancer, was RIGHT THERE! He acted as…

he is generally lovely, but his ego is overly inflated for sure! I like to call him the specialist snowflake.

Exactly!!!!!

I have a somewhat serious ongoing argument with my husband—I maintain that in a "almost everyone will die horribly" scenario (28 Days Later, Zombieland, The Road [not zombies but STILL!]) I would rather have a quick death without the almost-certainly futile struggle. He thinks I'm a "quitter" and, totally seriously,…

I'm going to head straight to Galt's Gulch—no mooching zombies allowed there, and bonus! It's in the Rockies.
