Is he trying to make a play on words that is both making fun of the way Asian people pronounce their R's and also the word "lace" as in drugging something?

I love this. This is obviously a teacher that is very passionate about her class :).

I got M. Ward's Hold Time on vinyl for my birthday and its just magical. We listen to a lot of records in our house and I just love the way it fills up the rooms with sound and cooking dinner and listening to an ENTIRE album, both sides. Its so simple, but makes me SO happy.

Pretentious... And I say that with love. Nothing wrong with a little self-aware pretension, we are all snobby about something. Like all of you plebs drinking your Starbucks when everyone knows Kopi Luwak is the ONLY way to drink coffee. *Smug

I can be a little mad at this. Not because I dislike records, but because there are sooooo many better options out there over Urban Outfitters where you could find these same albums (for less money, I'm 100% positive), without seeming like a tool bag.

I remember when my kids were in their early - mid teens and wanted to do something we, her/his parents, didn't feel was appropriate; we got the whole shebang from don't you trust me? to "well, Susie's getting to!". I told them it was my responsibility (not job) to teach them accountability, to themselves, others,…

I am angry because the thing I treid to do to avoid parenting has resulted in me having to do something that is almost parenting. (And I did not have fun at that party.)

But it is a legitimate thing to say. We were all raised by at least one parent and have that to base our opinions on. Are we only allowed to relate first hand knowledge of how we've raised kids? Why not pass along the parenting skills our parents used that made us turn out so awesome?

So, my kid saw Frozen. She liked Frozen. She wants to be Elsa for Halloween. "Mama, will you please make me an Elsa dress for Halloween?" That's the extent of her desire for merchandise.

It makes me happier than it really should when shitty parents complain about having to live with the results of their shitty parenting.

Whenever I question myself as a parent, I always think of my ex-bf's mom who bought a beautiful white Persian kitten. When it was time to start the cat on solid food, the cat turned up her nose at it the first time. Fearful that the cat would starve to death, she never again offered it solid food. So its teeth never…

My father's line was, "Sure, go ahead."

I'm a guy (sorry). And when the time comes for me to have children, I want to have sons. Not because I want to live vicariously through him or anything like that, but because I'm scared out of my mind that if I have girls, I'll wind up in the same situation as this guy (unable to say no) and end up bankrupt.

And this is why I've tried to keep the Disney stuff to a bare minimum throughout my childrens' lives: the endless parade of horrible, poorly made movie tie-ins that blanket the market for the next six months after the release. Seriously - if the only music that your kids can parrot back to you is from some Disney…

Suddenly I'm reminded of an episode of Untold Stories of the ER from many years ago where some sweet but undereducated young people brought their toddler into the hospital because he was having trouble standing (he had previously be able to stand and walk).

I live in the US, and sometimes I just get incredibly frustrated because while shows are available, the way the make them available is terrible or way too expensive. I used aereo last year, LOVED it, and what was the networks response? Get it ruled unconstitutional. They could have made the SAME FUCKING PRODUCT for…

Yeah my son loves Frozen too. I still don't buy him anything with a Disney logo on it. They make enough fucking money as it is, I'm not contributing.

No, most Brits don't "sit and wait" and I'll beg you don't either even if you won't admit it publically.

Man, you should try living in New Zealand. It's actually gotten to the point here where (legit, mainstream) ISPs are offering geoblocking as part of the service so that people can give Netflix their money...

When Doctor Who was brought back in 2005, no channel in America was picking it up for transmission. The Sci-Fi Channel was wary about airing the show because they thought it was "too English", whatever the tapdancing fuck that means. They finally had the good sense to buy the rights and start showing it - a year after…
