34 years now! They are good together and, honestly, my dad would do anything to make my mom happy. She is his first priority, which is good because without her, our family would crumble. He may have paid most of the bills for most of their marriage but it wasn't worth it when she was miserable and he knew it…

My dad was an exec as well. Hardly saw him when we were kids as he was off travelling all the time and/or working crazy hours. I know that he believed he was doing the right thing, coming from a humble background and making his way through the corporate world to give his family the best opportunities possible. My…

Well, I thought this was a great story and then got to the comments. Of course it's easier for him to step down with millions in the bank. I appreciate his candor about his decision. I especially like this:

My Dad has worked in the management ranks of the financial sector for most of my life. He retired last year because it was too much for him. Just far too much at his age. He had a lot of money to spend and no time to spend it. What was the point of earning if he couldn't enjoy it?

And make it a hairy one!

From the country that brought you SCTV, Kids in the Hall and Canadian Bacon, a sarcastic narc app. May I suggest a #sarc hashtag? I don't think I've ever been prouder to call myself Canadian.

I'd like to extend a "thank you" to you from my employer's IT team, for the google search of "Egyptian goddess menstruation" that now exists on their servers.

See, I can only invade when I'm on my period. It's why several small potentates now refer to me as the "Red Menace."

I was going to invade Poland but then I realized I need men to open pickle jars for me and how can you invade Poland without pickles????

I'm invading Poland later today right after my period stops.

I'm really starting to be grateful for social media. Instead of having to go off and live in the woods to get away from ridiculous shit like this all I have to do is stay away from Facebook, Twitter etc. So I still get to enjoy the benefits of living in a large, cultured metropolis.

"I'm not sure that we should be creating rainbow families just because some single woman decides that that's what she wants," said Dr. Calvin Greene, the centre's administrative director. "That's her prerogative, but that's not her prerogative in our clinic."

In the UK fosters and adoptions are filtered by race, people of the same race are given priority although there is no hard rule. I am glad the fertility clinic made this move however I think its important to note it takes a lot more than just "love" to grow up black with white parents in a white community or visa…

Alright, so last time I offered America the trade of Alberta for Oregon and Washington State with very few takers. This time, closer to the deadline, I'm willing to reduce the asking price to Maine, Western New York and a Hampshire to be named later.

99% sure that if this lecture had taken place in person, he would have done it sitting backwards in a chair, cool adult style.

Everyone's got butts! Just like everybody poops! I was at the beach yesterday and I saw sooooo many butts! Somehow I managed to survive the ordeal though.

*in nicki's voice* yaaaasss bitch yaaass

Very true. I'm the only person on my team who is Southern, got a degree unrelated to the job, or didn't attend a big-name school. I stick out like a sore thumb and feel self-conscious nearly always.

Well, I think the idea is that they don't know or are worried about the future. And maybe some people think marriage should be an active thing that you continually reaffirm, instead of a passive legal state where you have to take action to end it. I think generally people don't get married if they expect to not want…

You're kind of making me rethink my cardigan collection right now.
