I already loved the name “John Brown Gun Club,” but it’s out of Lawrence? That makes it even better!

I had never heard of those before! It’s soooooooo cute!

Are you sure about those dates? Based on the woman’s style of dress and her boater hat, I’d put her in the early 1900s, not the early 1800s.

I definitely do not want to know more, but at the same time my mind is spinning about how on earth anyone uses (self-taught) genetics to defend child rape. I know it’s best not to go looking for answers though, as I’d like to keep my lunch down and also be able to sleep tonight.

Why bother a neighbor for a jump when you can just call the service you paid for?

Agree. I find that when I’m hanging out with kids, I tend to repeat the kinds of things I heard my mom saying to my younger brothers—but I’ve been careful to remove “little monkeys” from my vocabulary. It’s one thing for my mom to talk affectionately about her own rambunctious little monkeys, and something entirely…

I clicked on this article for the sole purpose of seeing a full-length shot of that monstrosity, and then going down to the comments to see if anyone could explain it to me.

Receipts?

I know I’m always hesitant to visit people (without a specific invitation) soon after coming home with a baby, because I know how chaotic and overwhelming it can be, and I’m not sure they want visitors. Some people get really weird about having people over when the house is in disarray, etc, and I don’t want to put…

I had one as an adult too! It was so weird, and I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I have very bad allergies, so I get bronchitis fairly frequently, but I was sure that wasn’t it. An ear infection never even crossed my mind! Then the doctor put me on amoxicillin, and I REALLY felt like a toddler.

*reads headline*: “What is racist jewelry?”

The part where she said her parents bring them coffee and breakfast really stood out to me, because I was thinking, “Why aren’t you helping in the kitchen?” I mean, my family still does our traditional brunch (it is GOOD and you don’t mess with that), but maybe it doesn’t feel infantilizing because we’re all helping…

“I just wanted to do something for my mama.”

The picture of the dedication a the end had me tearing up, and I thought, “Hey, I guess I have more feelings about this than I realized.” Then I saw your post and yup, I definitely have some feelings about Carrie Fisher being dead.

If you want to be a grammar Nazi, you’re going to have to improve your spelling. Better luck next time!

A friend started me on eating them with chopsticks! It truly is the perfect solution.

I never gave much thought to what a human turtle would look like, but I guess now I know. That’s one mystery solved, anyway.

Please excuse my curiosity: I’m wondering why you haven’t had a tonsillectomy. Isn’t that common practice when people have strep throat over and over?

Sorry, they probably just thought it was funny when you corrected them. That’s a particular brand of internet humor—to laugh at people who take jokes seriously. It isn’t particularly mature, and it’s especially out of place on a post about sexual abuse, but there it is. Anyway, sorry again. You just seemed really…

Sorry, I think you misinterpreted a poorly-timed joke. The poster knows they’re not grown from seeds. It was supposed to be funny, but this isn’t the best time to bring out the jokes.
