This. Gives me chills. When I was young, like 4 or 5 most likely, we stayed with my cousins all the time because my mom worked nights. All told there were four of us girls, I was the youngest and the oldest was probably middle school age, all sharing one room. My cousins and my sister would all get up on the bed and…

And the beauty of that U of H poll? It has a 3% magin of error. Gleeful times here in the blue part of Texas!

I’m with you on that. I have two “half” brothers, one of whom I have literally zero interaction with. I simply refer to him as a younger brother. The other I have very friendly interactions with. I refer to him as a younger brother. They are either your sibling or they are not your sibling. If you have a need to…

Clearly she doesn’t understand her candidate. In his eyes she’s likely 15 years and 80 - 100 pounds on the other side of the fuckable line. *sigh*

My girls and I group text during the debates (3rd election going strong!) and immediately when she complimented his children I texted, “and by that she means Ivanka, cuz those boys though...”

I’ve had multiple arguments with dadthecoach that basically revolve around the fact that because we are intimate partners with decades of history does not mean that he gets to touch me at will. I just find it very disconcerting when I feel like he’s grabbing at me when I’m unaware or not expecting it. And yes, he…

I had almost this exact conversation one night between two older female cousins, my older sister, and two younger female cousins. And several bottles of wine. And we all cried and apologized to each other because it a big family that hushes up the victims of the “dirty uncle” or “experimenting brother” or whatever the…

I was at a conference this week in downtown Austin, and after the first day of exorbitant parking fees in the adjacent garage I decided to park a block east of the highway on side street and walk to the convention center since it was only about 3 blocks. Doing so meant passing a shit ton of homeless folks living under…

I think a huge part of it is that most men do engage in it without understanding that what they are doing is inappropriate and unwanted. I don’t necessarily think they’re lying - I think they have a disconnect between action and perception. The vast majority of men will compliment a woman they think is attractive in…

You did not fully explain that Michael Paré was in the horrible one, which automatically makes it the BEST MOVIE EVER. Michael Paré never became the hunk box office star that he should have been, so I must take him where I can get him. Even in some shitty movie wherein he is the bad guy.

And if the baby has a verifiable dairy allergy or lactose intolerance, there are options. My kids both did and neither really liked soy milk. We had our local grocery store (just one of chain) order goat’s milk for us. And after a couple of years we switched them to Lactaid (which wouldn’t do anything for an actual…

I have so many friends that are doing the Plexus thing or Juice PLUS, and they post videos of their really small kids drinking it and tout the benefits, and all I can think is “WTF with this. Give your kid an apple and some peanut butter or something!”

So...in all ways you are completely entitled to your position and given that Matthew pretty much jumped past you, you were generally right in your assessment. In this case. But lemme tell you - Andrew knocked the ever loving shit out of south Florida in August 92. I was in college. My parents moved to Homestead…

I have not seen him wandering around Austin. Perhaps I am not in the correct trendy places. Will have to branch out more.

Dammit! And I really liked the little fucker too. Now this is going to cloud my enjoyment of his performance in Ant Man and Tower Heist. And wasn’t he in that evil elevator movie too? Whatever. It’s like finding out about the Ribisis all over again.

Ooh - I hate being shallow but the eyebrows are ALL FUCKING WRONG!

Eh, yes and no. Frats by their very nature create a bonding that turns random strangers into “brothers.” There’s so much emphasis on belonging and loyalty and the methods of rush and initiation (and lets be honest, hazing) create a dynamic where fidelity is required and infidelity is penalized. So even if you raise…

You may be on to something. Maybe colleges should just require all incoming frosh women to have it tattooed inside their lip or something. That way they can say, “We handled this issue, any rapes are not our responsibility.” Sadly, someone somewhere will probably take this idea and run with it.

What was a 16 year old even doing at a frat party, I mean, clearly this a parenting issue and not a rape issue. amirite?

Live in Austin and apparently some of the schools have been “targeted” and the district is taking it “seriously” so I received a parent email detailing the threat. I told my sophomore not to be killed by clowns and he said, “Unless they’re wearing trenchcoats over their shotguns it ain’t legit.” But all this stupid…
