Oh yeah. Tough skin jeans. Before we even wore them, my mom would do the iron on patches on the inside of the knees to reinforce them. Then, we would have these rectangle knees.

Glad to hear it, and hope you are right, but I don’t know anyone with it.

Omg. At dog parks, My husband says our not quite full bred border collie is half marsupial.

Grandma is a badas

Someone (casual vacation sit at the same table at the bar people from England) once said my husband looked “a little Tongan” (he is ethnically Indonesian and broad of shoulder, with a pony tail). My husband heard “like a little Tongan” and seriously considered throwing down right there. He heard it as very…

Paid maternity leave is pretty rare in the U.S. fMLA says the company has to hold your job for those 3 months, but any pay during that time is vacation and sick. Maybe short term disability.

I am not a Mormon, nor do I play one on TV. However, my braiding skills are mad, dude. I’m not Lagartha, but I could teach these gals a few tricks (and help the escape while touring as an itinerant braid tutor)

Off topic, but I know a lady who knits wool hats with trilobite patterned texture on them.

Doggy LouLou used to rip her dew claw all of the time. I tried superglue, wrapping it, cutting the nail off, and letting her chew it off. They all worked, eventually. So glad that I finally had the dew toes surgically removed.

I stole away this version of my mothers in the 6th grade to bring to school to use to prove my points!

Unwanted kiss smack down! Totally appropriate. You go, girl

I am feminist. White. Mr Lou is of SE Asian Ethnicicy from South America, before he came to the U.S. Although the industry we work in is dissed by the Dems, our existence is dissed by the Reps. We vote for our existance and keep quiet at work.

I have to admit that this is the way I book long flights for the Mr and I. But I swear, neither of us have such habits.

I was once traveling for work between Juneau and Reno, and took the opera unity to upgrade myself, at my own expense to a Business class window seat on the left side if the plane, where I hoped to enjoy the free champagne and hopefully, a view of the Alaskan/Canadian coast for the Juneau - Ketchecan-Seattle commuter…

Maybe she should have bitten the humans who put them in an acquarium too small to accommodate them

I realize, reading this, how much I like living in a more lightly populated city! Can't remember the last time I encountered this

I read your comment to Mr. Lou-Lou. He said “they are not a luxury - they are a necessity”. I keep telling him that I will buy him a tshirt that says “This is what a feminist looks like”. He just says - make sure it's not pink. I can live with that. He’s a keeper.

I find myself in unknown territory. I now need to research which channel I get Fox on, because I just might watch it. However, I normally can’t hear republicans speak because they are so far up my VJJ that the sound is muffled.

Oh take your Barbies and go home, Donald

The other thing I thought of - HR are not really “nice”. Their job is to suck as much work out of the humans for the company as possible. They are NOT your friend.
