Everyone who gets paid minimum wage would get the minimum wage hike. Everyone who gets paid more than the current minimum wage, but less than the new minimum, would also get the new minimum (and if the only way those jobs were getting/keeping decent employees was by paying a little more than the old minimum, they’ll…

Harry was born in 1980, so he’s 35 now. My 35-year-old brother-in-law has a 14-year old daughter (also, my brother-in-law is actually younger than Harry Potter. That feels weird.).

MrsPye still uses her hotmail account. (I refuse to email her at it. There are various reasons, including, “Yes, but I have known your gmail address for pretty much ever, even before I knew your real name,” and “Honey, it’s hotmail. No. Just...no.”)

As far as I can tell—and I spend way too much time looking at the shit they say—they genuinely are the dumbest fucking people on the planet, as well as the most paranoid.

Well, yes, of course they can still be vaccinated, but when you really don’t want to vaccinate your kids because TOXINS!!!!, and you’re required to get a medical exemption, you’ll seize on anything that could be an excuse. And “Dad has seasonal allergies” is something that these woo-meister “medical professionals”…

There are medical professionals on Facebook making it clear that they will TOTALLY sign medical exemptions based on such factors as “someone in the family has an allergy to something.”

His folding technique is to use two tortillas, to make two burritos out of the bowl of filling.

The burrito bowl with the tortilla on the side has been a thing for a long time.

The upside is, you now have lunch for tomorrow. Or you can split it with someone. If we had a Chipotle near us, I could see MrsPye and myself trying this. (Well, probably not, as MrsPye is allergic to flavor in her food. It’s her one major flaw. But hypothetically.)

I did not get a video! I got tons of pamphlets, and a long conversation with my oncologist (who was doing the surgery), but no video.

Possibly, yeah. With the people I knew (slightly, mostly through proximity) who were like this—but not actually connected with the Duggars in any way beyond both being Gothard fans—if the husband was out of the picture for whatever reason (death, incarceration, military service, whatever) the wife’s father stepped…

Seven.

I agree with you completely. I will say that it does sound like her brother is prepared to give her whatever help he can if she leaves Josh, but I agree. I have more sympathy for Anna than I do for (as an example) Michelle Duggar, because Anna has been indoctrinated into this cult since her birth, and Michelle chose…

Forget the Duggar family. Anna’s own parents are likely pushing her to stay, and to use this time to ask God to make her a better wife so that Josh won’t stray again.

Maybe he just preferred to associate himself more with the entire paternal side of his family, rather than just his father?

But in medical terms, a miscarriage is a spontaneous abortion anyway.

I saw it a fair bit when I lived in Minnesota (which is not quite current, but up to late 2012, anyway).

I’m glad for the deer. Last year it was just birds and squirrels, so it’s nice to have a little variety in the daily Dad Story.

Yeah, my dad’s daily emails always contain a paragraph about the deer (a doe and her fawn) who have taken to hanging out in his backyard/eating from his bird feeder. He leaves them alone, just watches them from his window. (My dad is very bored in retirement, as you can tell.)

My problem with saying a D&C is the same thing as an abortion is that... it’s not. I have never been pregnant. I have had four D&Cs. A D&C is a surgical procedure that can be used in an abortion, but it is not, in and of itself, an abortion. I get what the writer was saying, that it’s how it felt to her in her…
