Ah! Maybe so? That makes sense and missed the humor I guess.

I agree with your point but that's not what I meant.
I don't think it is too strong in regards to the inability to have a conversation on Gawker/Jez about anything dealing with religion. That's what I was speaking to. Anytime religion is brought up here the majority comments are "religious people are soooo dumb LOL"…

I'd offer this from my own life about your friend: the racism is probably VERY new to her. I'm married to a Pakistani man. The anti-Muslim stuff we deal with has been my first foray into any kind of discrimination. I am very much a WASP and the first time I had to explain hatred to our son was so incredibly difficult…

I'm a soap maker, knitter, begrudging hooker, quilter, home decorator, and sewist with the extra income to spend on my hobbies. Basically I'm Hobby lobby's wet dream. But since I am also a feminist I decided when this all started to never darken their doors again (this and also the realization that their products and…

Let's not go crazy and assume they would offer the girl who runs the checkout maternity leave. I'm sure HL has ways of shutting that whole thing down.

Well it certainly isn't a reality for people who like to complain and start random internet fights, I suppose.

40 year old, soccer mom, feminist, big ole liberal, WoW player since vanilla here: I just find it amusing.

At first I thought you were joking but now I see you aren't. Bathing a 7 year old is considerable easier than bathing a 15
Month old because all you have to do it turn on the damn shower. Shit, i have a five year old that showers while brush my teeth and get my clothes on. The 15 month old needs constant supervision.…

This makes me look at the breed in a better light. My only experience with the breed was a mean aunt who had one when I was little. This aunt hated me. When I would misbehave she would say "get her Prissy" and that fucking little dog would attack me. The aunt and the dog were both assholes. I've hated the dogs ever…

As a mom I totally get Jennifer Lawrence here. It's exactly like trying to focus and wrangle a group of four year olds at a birthday party. Only she has to so this all the time. I get a year to recover between birthdays.

I can share this with you because you will get it.
I recently found a Brown Betty on eBay for $5. It looks like it is probably from the 1920's. The seller didn't know that it wasn't just "an old granny teapot".

I'm replying to you because my comment fits into this thread. The only comment I have about your comment is: is that carrot???
For home tea making, I bought a little coffee press with an Alice in Wonderland special blend at Disneyland last summer (of all places). It was a cute press and the tea smelled nice so I took a…

Wrong. The only way to get past this is for people who want their nude photos out there to put them out there themselves and people who don't want nude photos out there to not have them put the fuck out there.
No one has the right to decide this but the person in the damn photo. His "schtick" is sociopathic behavior…

Condescending???

I've always heard to avoid books and toys from places like Dollar Tree especially for kids that still mouth things. I don't know how true this is but my kid is 5 and we still refrain from buying toys from dollar stores - except for Whoopie cushions. We go through those pretty fast.

If the new cover of "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret" isn't a .gif of two girls sitting in the floor, arms bent at their sides, rotating their shoulders, shouting "We must! We must! We must increase our busts", I'm not buying it.

Haha! Autocorrect, needing glasses, refusing to go to the eye doctor because it's a pain in the butt, fat fingers...
I got 29 million excuses but none of them cover the basic fact that sometimes I don't proofread.

Actually no I didn't find myself in a position with no salient points to make. You, however, have entirely missed the point. The fact that you don't have kids means you are getting your info about how kids and parents should be from where - your fantasies? TV? Gawker? Your own parents (who sound a bit controlling from…

Because you have a skewed sense of what a kid's life is like and of what parents should/shouldn't do.

Of course they should and I fully support that! But, it wasn't what I wanted and my comment was like my baby shower - all about me. :D
