I was 12, and had been cooking and baking with fairly minimal supervision for about three years. My mom (single parents) was busy with errands and needing to work on a Saturday, when we were also supposed to be hosting guests from church for dinner. I offered to make the lasagna for dinner, to save her some time.

I’m so sorry. I’ve always wanted kids (still do), and one thing that worries me is that my partner will change his mind about it. I hope that you are able to try again, and that you have a happy, healthy pregnancy when this is over. 

And yet you’re still being this much of a dick? Get off the internet and sew some masks instead.

You could have just stayed off this article and obsessively refreshed whatever news website you use, instead of deciding to be such a pathetic scold about an interesting and informative article. Go work on your sourdough starter and yell at your family. 

I grew up Mormon, and my parents are still practicing--the Mormon church has cancelled services, closed the meetinghouses and temples, and limited the number of participants at the semi-annual church conference so they can all stay six feet apart. 

I also use Make America Kittens Again, which is a plug in for your internet browser that replaces his photos with pictures of kittens. 

Oh, gosh, I’m so sorry. I really hope your mom ends up okay, and that your evil boss experiences persistent misfortune for the rest of his life. 

So cute!

That’s a smart move--I’ve muted his name on Twitter, and limited the amount of news I read. 

Coloring your hair sounds like a great idea! I am very tempted to dye my hair while I’m sheltering in place--I’m on authorized departure from my job (staying in Bangladesh didn’t seem like the safe choice) and teleworking from my hotel room in the States before moving back into my parents’ house. My fiancé is still in…

Hooray for the new baby hippo! I hope there is a livecam or something where we can keep watching her play while we all shelter in place.

I want Tim and whoever handles the Twitter account for the Museum of English Rural Life to start trading pictures of livestock. 

I also love his attempts to hashtag by writing “Hashtag John Wayne” and, eventually, “#HashtagJohnWayne”.

I’m so sorry for your loss.

This sounds like such an excellent idea! I haven’t made much of my birthday since I became an adult, but I’m starting to think it might need to be a thing, if only because my fiancé and I have the same birthday and doing it as a Couple Thing would be nice. He hates being the center of attention while I am a youngest…

Jessica is SUCH a mess! And she went into that “wedding” planning to dump him in front of his friends and family; none of her family were there, and she went in with no flowers? She was barely pretending this was potentially a real wedding. 

That’s the bigger issue, is the hiding things--Carlton’s prior relationships weren’t, in themselves, something he was obliged to disclose. But when you think there is something in your life that would keep your potential spouse from wanting to marry you, I think you are obligated to disclose that before you propose;…

Thank you so much, Pumpkin andy! A few minutes after I posted, he managed to get through, and we were able to talk for two hours, which meant I cried out a contact lens and while we don’t know if we’ll actually be able to get married in May, we’ll do our best. Definitely appreciative of all the moral support. 

Living Single is better.

Stuffed and mounted! You can likely find a taxidermist in your area who could do it.
