Yeah I do, I've tried that but the student version doesn't allow sharing, and that's a deal breaker for me.

Serious question - think this would work for more than one more year? I'm up to do 2-3 more years at $79 if possible...

Even temporarily, separating the child from her mother could be very, very detrimental. I can imagine it causing her great anxiety to say the least, distrust of authorities and it's likely that at some point it will be made clear to her by other adults that her mother is "bad".

You can go to a Porsche dealership and ask if the car has 6 cylinders and they can lie? If it comes with navigation?

I absolutely agree that its a very hard situation, but heroin users (addicts I'm assuming, as I don't know that you can be a casual user) being "at times excellent parents" would be so greatly overshadowed by all the bad stuff that comes with their using. I think I just copied what you said, reading back my comment.

I kind of get what you're trying to say, but it's not the very best analogy. Before you buy the porsche, you get to visit the dealership, and ask questions that they're not allowed to lie in response to. You also get to sit in it and you know whether or not you need 5 cupholders before you buy it. You have a much…

I'm so torn about this. I can't bring myself to say that separating this mom and her kid is the best thing for either of them. I wish there was some sort of program where both the mom and kid could go to some kind of family rehab or something where there could be some extremely tight supervision which would protect…

Make that 4. It wasn't even vaguely funny. Not a joke. You're just claiming it is now because you're getting called out.

When I had my daughter, I had no insurance and not much money - a most wonderful pediatrician, Dr Andy Wei here in Houston would go to the Children's Museum once a week for a couple of hours and help parents in my situation and answer questions about our kids and their health for free. Now that I have insurance and…

So we can only talk about things that happen to us?

We should all pitch in and send a trophy for outstanding use of "Strumpetry."

In my dream life, I'm a professional chef, and I'm awesome. I've tried truffle oil, and I can easily go on with my life without it. I wonder if I got a bad batch, or its better when you buy the expensive stuff (I think I got a small bottle at Whole Paycheck Foods for like $15). But nope nope nope to truffle oil.

Yeah, but this doesn't only happen in "countries that are not the west." The US for example, is LOUSY with cults that do all sorts of similarly sick things - parents offering up their virgin daughters to the leaders as an "honor" for example.

My cousin is a pretty serious church-going Christian, and she told me the most awesome story. Some minister from her church pulled her aside one day and said "God told me you are to be my wife." After she pulled herself together from laughing, she then asked him - "Something so important, don't you think he would have…

I buy or sell camera equipment online about 4 times a year. I always meet at this particular Target close to me where there's almost always a police officer sitting out front. And I make sure to tell the buyer / seller that's why we're meeting there, for mine and their protection. So that way if they're up to any…

Because bacon is AMAZING.

omg its a still from a porno!

Correction: Welcome to the Internet.

I'm tickled to death that she's a Bun B fan - so am I, and I bump into him All Of The Timem living in Houston. He's super awesome. And so is she.

Where are we with forced sterilizations & vascectomies?
