This shit right here is why my grandmother never threw anything away.

What the fuck is Anne of LA doing with those avocados???

When I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's we played this game called “Suicide Drinks”. One by one we would go into the kitchen and mix the most horrific concoctions possible like sweet tea with lemon juice, pickle juice, hot sauce, Nesquick, and clammato. The only rule was that you could not use anything…

He only likes the parts with Javert.

We had a similar experience with a bilingual Montessori charter in our town. Fuck all of them. Our very low rated public school is actually turning out to be a fabulous experience for my kid.

“the same department has also been ranked by an independent evaluation as the third-best child services department in the nation”

Exactly! People always persecute her because of her temper but he was a grade A son of a bitch who didn’t do a damn thing to help her and constantly tried to make things worse for her. And they had EIGHT KIDS for her to try and wrangle. That would drive any person insane. I feel for her.

My dad is 72 and has a butt load of health problems (cancer, diabetes, a heart condition). To talk to him for a short time you wouldn’t realize that his mind doesn’t work the same way anymore. He is paranoid and sees danger everywhere these days. My mom has said things that makes me think she is slightly afraid of him…

I find this extremely fascinating too.

Not always though. Many many quilt shops and yarn stores offer wine and cheese nights. I both quilt and knit and have been to quite a few. Women are being sold a chance to get out and socialize with friends without having to think about what they will pack for lunch for a seven year old who is going to complain about…

Infantiling is going a bit far. I don’t see how this is any different than a Stitch and Bitch night or a quilting bee or any other creative endeavor you do surrounded by friends. People have been gathering and creating together forever. And if it makes them happy and relaxed why is it such a big deal?

Michelle’s job is to gestate.

Disagree: if one of them breaks free and starts living real life with all the guts and glory and no crazy religion, I would watch the shit out of that show.

Song for the Dumped by Ben Folds Five

Although I have to say that we still measure distance while driving in the form of either Weird Al’s Anakin song or the Throne Room song.

That’s what I thought too until my son discovered the Legend of Zelda. He wears the Link costume I made for him everywhere we go and he had a LoZ 7th birthday party yesterday. I’m so proud I could burst!

My kid’s first name is Juwero. It’s an obscure but historical name from a region of Pakistan called Hunza. He didn’t even know that his name was Juwero until this year (he’s 7). I’ve always assumed that at some point in his future he will go by J. Firstname Lastname just because his asshole parents didn’t think it…

Me too. Every time I see it.

Well I automatically suspecteded she was forced out with no evidence. But how could they not know her credentials?

Some states have such a shortage of teachers that they will hire someone with an emergency teaching certificate. You don’t even need an education degree for those certificates but they only last for a limited time, usually 3 years.
