Okay, I come from an old country lovin' family, and HOW HAVE I NOT HEARD LORETTA LYNN SINGING ABOUT THE PILL!?!?!

That was amazing and I love you for bringing it into my life.

I like this idea from a data aggregation standpoint - as someone else mentioned, it could help establish patterns of behaviour that are hard to pinpoint otherwise.

However, I am less optimistic about 'good' police departments helping 'bad' ones. Places I've lived that had great relationships with the local police…

I'm missing the gifs pretty hard right now.

But CONGRATULATIONS Ms. Mirzakhani!

You just put into words why I love this show. I couldn't put my finger on it until now. It's the love and the laughing at each other's jokes. It's a sweet, funny family.

Mitchum is THE BOMB DOT COM (rewatching all of dawson's creek right now, so i shall be using 90s internet-based slang today.)

I am both sweaty and smelly and it covers both issues for me in a way that no other underarm thing does. (Seriously, especially if your issue is sweat - this stuff is insane. Probably deadly…

this, in response to that:

Early Childhood Educator. Sorry for the acronym! :S

Yep. I used to work at a family centre FOR children aged 0 - 6 so you better believe the washroom was insanely infant-friendly. It had everything.

We still had moms changing their babies on the upholstered furniture and the carpets. Their main reasons? (Which they SHARED WITH ME. WTF)

1. Didn't want to break their…

This, to me, is inextricably tied to breastfeeding. I don't believe women should EVER have to feed their babies anywhere but at a table with other adults if they don't want to. Babies eat where adults eat. I am on-side for the outrage over restaurants that force women to feed their babies in the bathroom.

My adultery childhood memory was my mom, so I hope that helps!

It never occurred to me to stain-treat my underwear. But yeah, all stains all the time.

Luckily I have two mom-figures in my life who buy me about 5 pairs each at Christmas so I just have a really high rotation.

(Even still, about 80% of them are stained at any given time. Vaginas!)

Thumbs up for The Fall of Freddie the Leaf! Mom bought that for us when my first grandparent died, and I have recommended it to so many others with young ones dealing with death since. Another recommendation for anyone who is interested, is Waiting for the Whales, which is specifically about a grandfather and…

YEP.

Yeah, I was wishing that everyone (unless any of these people still work at the same place, which it appears they don't) would name names of restaurants. Maybe they weren't allowed but I want to know who's doing this.

eeew. You have my sympathies.

Agreed. Although I have been in a similar situation where there were multiple bystanders and we sent one to go ask in all the shops. It seems sensible? In that case the kids weren't already crying and this was on a hot day in Canada (very hot, but I think it wasn't Texas-levels). Anyway, someone watched the kids…

Aww, but you WERE the one who peed on her Blue Book! Saying otherwise won't make it so!

We had first period dinner at my house. First-period-getter got to choose the restaurant. I have two sisters, so it was all girls plus my dad. (who gamely celebrated as well, although a little uncomfortable about how fast we were getting older.)

I was in university away for the baby of the family's dinner so we had a…

I was just catching up with little Rino the other day (that little toddler who would eat anything!?) Her mom obviously includes her in cooking projects on a regular basis and she is able to do a lot more than you'd think; mom just let a lot of things things go.

What about "I'm going to be a father soon/again/in (insert month here)" ? It's pretty literal. I think that's what I heard from a few dads at the play centre where I used to work. Also "we're growing our family" or things like that. Those people were so often delightful parents with delightful kids. (no sarcasm)
