Yeah, the child haters here are definitely the people who think you shouldn’t take a newborn infant to a bar.

True enough. It seems likely that the family of someone who reacts that way is saying exactly that.

Or you’re saying that you’re throwing an adult-themed party and they should hire the same babysitter they would hire to go to a movie.

Or maybe, based on the response the relatively small group who do that get on social media, because the rest of the country seems to adore them for it.

She could be all of those things (I don’t particularly follow her), and they aren’t good things to be. But what you have to remember is that when I look at the frightening person she seems to have become, I remember watching in real time while she started being self-destructive and there was nobody there to teach her…

among other ways you make money from depressed areas, you take advantage of a government program which provides expedited visas for the families of foreign investors who invest in construction in depressed areas. 

It’s not the only thing they have in common, but thanks for playing.

are you determined on a roast? Because we just had a braised leg of lamb (sort of like a pot roast) for Christmas with olives and fruit and garlic and lemon juice and cumin, and it was amazing.

I feel like if you added black pepper to this it would be A Very Good Thing.
