I stop if I have time, but the scariest moments are when a pedestrian steps into the road (or, usually, the bike lane) and THEN looks to see if anyone is coming. I don't have time to stop, so I'll swerve, but there's a heart wrenching moment where I'm hoping I'm right that there isn't a car close behind me and hoping…

I appreciate the "on your left". I am often startled when someone passes me without warning - that seems more rude.

I ride in Boston.

Tell me about it.

Having had an unexpected pregnancy at age 33, I can agree that sure, it probably seems like you've really got your shit figured OUT during the nine contemplative months of your pregnancy, but everything (relationship, career, etc.) sort of falls to pieces once your baby hits toddlerhood.

What's with the blood? Period stains or was someone stabbed?

She was asking to be murdered by her husband? She was asking to have pictures of her dead and bloody body to be posted on Facebook?

But I have lived it.

I have spent some time in family court. It's the worst place in the world. But, that aside, you'd be shocked to see what people wear. It's all sweat pants and tank tops. I saw one guy wearing a presentable suit. One! And I admit, I thought he seemed fishy because he just wasn't dressed like everyone else.

I can't at all see how a father could completely lose his marbles in that situation.

Absolutely.

My kid was a terrible asshole when he was little. He threw tantrums all the time, everywhere and it just burned to feel the judgement from everyone. It didn't help that he was very, very big for his age and when he would lose it in a somewhat though, okay, not entirely age appropriate way, someone would, without fail,…

You know, I think it's often that the asshole kids are SUCH assholes that you notice them more. There are plenty of kids who are walking through Target not being assholes or sitting on a plane watching an ipad in silence or coloring at their table in the restaurant waiting for their food, but you don't notice them…

Sidenote: If you are a parent, don't say, "I'm the WORST mother!" and then explain that you are the worst mother because you did something like give your kids cereal for dinner.

My son wears that onsie all the time.

I recently went back to whole milk and yogurt made from whole milk, and I will argue that there is a significant taste difference. I use plain Greek style yogurt and mix it with fruit and oatmeal for breakfast. I eat a much smaller serving size with a higher fat yogurt because it's just so rich.

The problem is that CPS is usually busy enough that those anonymous tips don't generate a lot of action. You can also imagine that those anonymous tips are taken with a grain of salt. CPS does move fast when a report comes in from a mandated reporter.

I don't think, though, that your intention is necessarily the issue. You may not feel contempt. You may not feel that you are better than the other person. However, the person you are correcting may interpret your corrections as contempt, and therein lies the problem. Interrupting to correct grammar may be putting up…

Right? My kid's school had a potluck about a year ago and I was helping out. This woman came up to me and asked where the gluten free section was. I said, Ummmm, I'm not sure! She said, Well, can you be sure you put THIS there when you figure it out? (what am I, the help?)

We commute via subway and we sometimes see people who are clearly wasted or high or both. In fact, in the last month, there's been an uptick in the number of people we have seen who are high and who are either 1) nearly passed out or 2) engaged in a heated argument with their companions.
