Oh, I don't doubt it. I've babysat quite a few kids I wish I could have put on a leash.

"My mom says harnesses like that are cruel." "Really? My mom says they are absolutely necessary."

I'm a grad student, and I made it VERY clear to all my grad school friends (and all my other friends too because we're ALL poor) that their presence at our wedding was gift enough.

Here's the thing about her excuse— she "only" used it to describe a bank robber, she claims. However, it would *have* to be part of her lexicon for that to happen in the first place. For example, the other day a homeless man ran up to me and started screaming in my face (I couldn't understand him, and he was clearly…

It really does, and it's amazing to see the mental gymnastics people use to excuse their inexcusable behavior. When I'd challenge people for using the N-word in high school (the last time I was around those people, fortunately), I usually got "I'm not saying it's a BAD thing" (which...yes, by being a white person and…

Honestly, I grew up in a small rural town that's pretty damn racist, and there's a lot of people there who think "I don't want to lynch black people, therefore I'm not a racist," and would consider everything she said up there to be just fine because at no point did she call for the extermination of an entire race. …

I do this too, and then start an internal debate as to how long I should wait to call and make sure he's alive (I usually make it 20 minutes and then call as he's unlocking the front door.)

MILD HINTED SPOILERS FOR GAME OF THRONES DON'T READ FURTHER:

I skimmed the article, and it looks like while a bunch of Seals died, none of them participated in the bin Laden raid.

Rural upper midwest. Trust me, you only go to my hometown if you have family there.

Wait, Seal Team Six is dead? Didn't one of them JUST get in trouble for revealing information about it? Or was that a fake member of Team Six, so that the B. HUSSEIN Obama* administration could cover up their murder of an entire team of Navy Seals?

Honestly, that was the detail I miss the least. This guy doesn't do anything for me, but Book!Daario is guaranteed to bring out the giggles. At least I can *almost* take this guy seriously.

What's great is that if you read more of his blog, he's actually going on several dates a month and is pissed they haven't turned into something more. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY MEET YOU AND GET SERIAL KILLER VIBES. (And he has a fuckbuddy he calls a simpleton. Such a charmer, it's hard to imagine he's not finding anyone).

Yeah, I've heard that and every time I buy a new bra (I abandoned VS several years ago) I get resized. Everyone has so far concurred that I'm a 36C, so at least VS got me right. But thanks for the tip anyway. :)

I KNOW. It's probably not *quite* as bad as it sounds, because she only buys new bras like every 10 years and puts them through the washer every week, so they get pretty stretched out. But STILL. Yikes. (On the list of "Things My Mother Doesn't Give a Fuck About" bras rank pretty high, clearly).

When I was in high school I usually went bra shopping with my mom, as she was the one paying. Any time I reached for anything larger than a 34B, she'd go "that's too big for you, I promise. I'm a 34B, so you'll be a 34B." (This isn't a jealousy thing though, we just have very similar builds so it was her way of…

To quote a friend of mine: I just want to curl up and take a nap on Henry Cavill's chest. Is that so wrong?

My husband often turns on my bedside lamp for that exact reason— I never remember that I put lotion on and then can't turn my reading light on. Now THAT'S true love.

I have seen that one, and it made an impact. There's also a more recent one where Jennifer Love Hewitt undergoes a rape kit/exam, and it's similarly painful to watch.

I'm also really impressed with Christie's apparent grasp of gender theory/presentation. She seems like a very cool, very smart lady.
