Grapefruit juice is a broad-spectrum drug behavior changer. In many cases, it changes the metabolism of a drug, keeping it around longer in your body, thus allowing a greater concentration to build up in your bloodstream.

If you can’t make meth with it, it’s not going on to work... on me at least.

Now here’s a question: when should this list pretty much stop being a thing?

I put “Mom’s needs” on the top of the list. Goes back to the old saying “If Mama ain’t happy, nobody is.” My kids have learned this already.

Balance is the key like you said. But generally I agree - kids should stay lower in “wants” in the family. When kids rule the family - they are not good leaders/rullers, so havoc is wrecked. Adults are there with experience to lead the family.

Oh hell yes, Michelle. Kids need boredom to encourage creativity, intellect and exploration. If they don’t explore the outdoors, how will they fall in love with nature? Most of the summer we spent at a horse camp or at the beach. Living in cabins. None of this Internet or cell phone stuff. Or at the beach. When we…

And this is one of the reasons I will not date someone with kids. Who wants to be in a relationship where you’re never the priority?

If the parent wants to join a golf league that occurs every Saturday from 1-4, while the kid wants to play soccer and the games are every Saturday from 1-4, then someone has to come first. You can’t have an equal 3a and 3b here, you are just changing 3 and 4 to 3a and 3b.

I think it also does a disservice to your kids and doesn’t prepare them for the real world, where everyone else isn’t solely focused on fulfilling their needs and wants.

Well, across the globe means you only got to entertain him maybe once a quarter, if that, so it’s anyone’s game for when he dies on top of them after too much Viagra and other “technology”.

Someone call Rashida and Khadija and tell them to go get they daddy.

That would be icky fine if he didn’t stop to throw the elderly and/or fat women under the bus while humblebragging about how many younguns his bank account pulls in.

Agreed. The idea that the sharing options aren’t all checked as a big fat NO as a default is terrifying. We need simpler sharing options, clearly stating who can see your public/private data in these sort of apps. (At the same time, I’m not sure why people are so obsessed with broadcasting their workout data. I run…

I love all the “Don’t have a kid or buy a car!” Like you can just erase the child and start from scratch and live in a city that is pedestrian friendly. And I ain’t got any grandmas giving me extra $100 here and there to pay off debt.

Sell your car, put your kid up for adoption and move into a hostel. Easy peasy!

These articles don’t serve much purpose to actually helping people with financial stability.

It’s not even that it’s “not fun”, it’s that it’s not possible when you have one income, a student loan, a kid, a car payment, rent that is NOT shared with three other people, and other responsibilities.

Keeping expenses low is key. I think the expense people tend to get really foolish about (speaking only about those making considerably more than $30k) is housing.

Another great aspect of the story is that Chastain came up with a project that wouldn’t just break her out of the typical roles she plays, but would also help Spencer get out of “Mammy” jail, where, with some exceptions, she’s been stuck since The Help.

White folks who like to call themselves allies please take note. She acknowledged she didnt know shit, LISTENED, then did something meaningful without making it about her.
