Interesting. I dated a guy for years when I was younger, planned on marrying him. But he had alcohol issues, and anger issues and became increasing violent. It broke my heart to leave him, but I had to to protect myself. Years later I learn he committed suicide leaving a wife and two kids behind. I can’t imagine what…

How could you after that? A cousin of mine doing family research came across a newspaper article about how our great grandma, my mom’s grandma, at age 16, came home one day to find her parents, sister, and sister’s kids shot dead. He sister was trying to get away from a DV situation. The abusive husband killed her,…

I’m so glad that someone was finally brave enough to speak the truth.

OMG this is so gross. Just...Ugh

I’ve heard this too, I doubt that it is true. It’s pretty common for rich people to give donations, often to both parties. I just think the level of vitriol and hate that he spews to Hillary and that he encourages his supporters to spew doesn’t jive with this theory.

I’m sure you had an insightful comment, but holy shit that woman’s hair. How did that happen? That’s some Marie Antoinette style there, just missing the white powder...

Well, the GOP at least has to grant him mad props for his time management skills.

Welp. After the second amendment comment yesterday I ordered a Hillary logo t-shirt for my 5 year old, and a “women’s rights are human rights” Hillary t-shirt for me and just so i have something else to wear, a super Hillary cartoon t-shirt. I plan on rotating them and wearing NOTHING ELSE until she wins the election.…

I don’t know, I think that Hillary might be able to eviscerate him and get him all riled up. I hope they do debate. Call me an optimist.

I’m really bummed by this. While not a perfect movie, I liked it and enjoyed the dynamics of the cast. I’m frustrated (and honestly bored) by the endless stream of male superhero movies and was hoping this would spearhead some more female driven movies. I hate how every time there is a female driven movie that doesn’t…

She looks so oddly posed and oddly proportioned. It is creeping me out.

I agree, all the little things do add up. I really like how you are framing it as something to model for your sons. I too have a son and I think it is incredibly important to model that both his father and I equally share in the work, and that’s normal.

I would totally wear that first fanny pack.

There’s a lot of good thought. Obviously in the end so much depends on you and what you want your life to look like. Here are some of my thoughts.

These are incredibly important things to think about that often get overlooked. I was going to say something about them, but you did it much better than I could have.

I think this is the best description of motherhood that I have ever read. Brava.

My grandmother to whom I was very close died of breast cancer when I was 7. She was religious and I prayed so hard for her every night. When she died I lost faith in god, and honestly I think that is when I really became an atheist. For some reason that cartoon brings it all back...

I highly recommend Sidhartha Mukherjee’s the Emperor of all Maladies https://www.amazon.com/Emperor-All-Ma… I am horribly geeky and one of the ways I cope is by learning more. I have read this book twice and found it really interesting to learn more about the multiple diseases we call cancer and the researchers who…

I’m sorry for your loss. You articulate this so well, and I am so sorry that in addition to facing her death your friend had to deal with people who were in denial.

Yes I agree with this so much. Death will get us all in the end, and I think it unfair to the person dying and to the family to not be able to honestly talk about what is happening. When my husband’s dad was dying no one would actually admit to it, there was this brutal pressure to be upbeat and to fight. As if his…
