Preach! Children didn't get out of pajamas. It's just us, very relaxed.

Yeah, make it a thing, like an every weekend thing. After-party at the police station. Plan on it. It's mind-boggling that we live in a country where girls have to be this afraid of rape and of the injustice and emotional abuse they will encounter after rape.

Teaching college and I have 4 Taylors in the same class of 35 students. All female.

Read this, posted an answer sharing about my own crazy family, and then went out to lunch with someone who is scared about spending time with her crazy family. It's epidemic! You know, our society is very harsh, unfair, and uncaring. It depends on people taking abuse and not making waves.

I'm with you! I was talking about what women are expected to do, but it's not what I do!!! I work at a university and wear jeans or khakis and solid-colored tops most days! I hate shopping. But I am guessing my experience is not the norm for women in white-collar jobs. Congratulations on making it work so you can…

I second that. Pay for a hotel, go over for a couple of hours at a time, then leave. Having a narcissistic parent is very damaging. It's much worse than "my mom's annoying", so give yourself a break. I used to find it so hard to visit my mother that I would end up injuring myself or getting sick. But I kept…

And the cost in the time it takes to buy stylish appropriate moderately up-to-date clothing that fits well! I was shopping for a shirt for a male friend recently and it hit me that shopping is another arena in which women have to spend time that men do not. A female with children who doesn't have a husband who shops,…

This is bringing back memories of the frat party where I went upstairs with a guy and was making out on some bed, like an idiot, and a friend came in and snatched me out of there. Thank God for girlfriends. It was all about getting the girls drunk. It's really astonishing that we send our daughters through the…

"I can do more from Canada than at Rikers". What does he think he is, the Julian Assange of reckless driving?

Also I doubt that he did this just once. He must have practiced. His arguments sound like those of a 12 year old boy. Actually that makes sense. I taught a computer programming camp this summer where we made cute little programs and easy games. They were mostly 12 to 16 year old boys and they knew about Afroduck. …

Hmmm, here's an idea. Let's use freemium games to fund education. Yeah, that's the ticket. First the lottery. Then freemium games. After that maybe a "for the kids" casino.

So, I'm older than most of y'all, but I watched Russell Brand when he first talked about how he doesn't vote. Both sides are bought out. There's not really a truly liberal candidate to choose from, especially not in my state. But my daughter is a 20 year old worker-rights/union activist and she talked me into…

True, if it's done in a non-pressuring way, it's great to have that info from the first date.

3.) Don't ask her for sex or naked pictures on the first date. Or talk about porn or strange sexual interests.

How much of the jacked up fare does the driver get?

She wasn't really running a temperature at the airport. They were using cheap forehead thermometers that were giving consistently high readings and are unreliable and she was flushed. When her temperature was taken with an oral thermometer, many times, it was never elevated.

I read everything I could find on breast cancer treatments first for a friend, then for myself, sadly. It is my impression that there is a gap between what oncologists tell you vs. what is really solidly proven. Part of the reason is that there are not clinical trials where some people don't get, for example,…

Would you let your daughter join a gamers group? Would you be afraid for her if she posted something critical of gamer culture on Twitter? If so, then there's a serious problem. The bad gamers have proved that they are great at bullying and intimidating. Great accomplishment, guys.

I was shamed into hugging older relatives who I didn't want to hug. I was very shy. I was expected to sit on their laps, hug them, submit to patting and chin-chucking, and whatever they wanted. I found this incredibly uncomfortable. My parents would lamely say, "Oh she's shy,' but they said it with such intense…

I would call it incest culture.
