#notalldunkins No seriously though, some Dunkins get their donuts shipped, some bake on site. The one in my hometown bakes on site and has a much larger assortment of donuts than some others I've been to. And uh, no, Krispy Kreme is not better. I can actually eat Dunkins for breakfast, Krispy Kreme is like OMFG sugar…

I refuse to feed the trolls anymore. Enjoy your day underneath your bridge.

Never failed at anything I've ever tried to do, have my masters plus 30 graduate credits post masters, and absolutely adore my job. I went into it because I love working with children and I am extremely passionate about it. I wake up every morning and never dread going to work, which is more than I can say for most…

As a teacher, I call bullshit. I'm guessing you give in to their every whim and are from the "my children are my friends!" school of parenting instead of actually PARENTING. When you set limits and try to raise them into productive little people, yes, it CERTAINLY can be frustrating sometimes. Worth it, but very…

I lived in a development growing up. Not gated, but 500 hours all relatively new. It was huge. Pretty much EVERYONE from our town came to the development to trick or treat, which made it an absolute mad house on Halloween. It was cool as a kid, but man, now as an adult, I can understand why it's a headache. Shaving…

As a teacher, it really pisses me off that you're lumping Common Core in as a joke. Common Core really is a clusterfuck that has NOTHING to do with Obama (yeah, I know, I got the original joke), but is a really serious problem in our schools right now. You know all those kids who aren't learning their basic math facts…

Okay none for nothing, I am from an Italian family that is very touchy feely. Us second cousins (we're ABNORMALLY close, our parents are all first cousins and 70 of us go on vacation every year for a week) are always hugging, leaning on each other, etc. I have tried to do a quick hello or goodbye, because let me tell…

Yeah, no. My ex boyfriend is smart, but empathetic he is not. My father is not particularly smart, nor is he empathetic.

Yeah, I work in Manhattan Beach. I was bitching about traffic on the Belt this morning and she was all "well, why don't you take the train." *sigh* Because, mom, I can't. The trains down there aren't remotely convenient.

OH THANK GOD I thought I was the only one who did this! It's infuriating.

No. Really?

AH, the cognitive dissonance ;) This is something I have wrestled with in the past couple of years. Not just with WOC, either, but for people in general living below the poverty line (though I'm not ignorant enough to ignore the disproportion in POC living below the poverty line vs. whites). As a teacher, I become…

Oh whatever. I'm a socially liberal economic conservative. But I have my masters and am well educated, but was raised by a racist, male chauvinist, Bill O'Reilly loving (seriously, he's met him three times) father. So I'm not a total asshole, completely recognize my white privilege, am pro choice, look at multiple…

As a teacher, I do too. Girly and high pitched naturally, have always been that way. However, in front of my students? I speak slower, more directly, lower, and in a more calm tone. I don't know if that even makes sense, but many teachers I know do this. I once worked with a male 5th grade teacher who had some SERIOUS…

I was never allowed to keep toys in the tub :(

So say we all.

I've already decided on an epidural, and I'm not pregnant and don't plan on being pregnant anytime soon, lol. As for your second c-section, I have nothing to say to you except *hugs*. You poor, poor thing. That is one hell of a combination.

For some reason, I found the line "Good night, bowl of mush" to be absolutely HYSTERICAL as a small child.

What about the complete lack of boundaries between mother and son? She crawls in through his window when he's a grown ass man, for God's sake!

Fuck you. You're probably as lame as Mary Anne.
