Mhmm.Bottom floor was saloon/attorney's office, top floor was private residences.

It was a home built in 1813 and yes, the bottom half was once an attorney's office in the front, saloon in the back. Fun fact - at one point, after the Great Potato famine brought over an influx of people, my town had 300 people and 13 saloons.

They really are, especially if it's a functional chimney. My parents had thirteen fireplaces in their home, but unfortunately none of the chimneys were functional. Just to make them functional, they would have had to pay half a million dollars. They decided to get a pot-bellied pellet stove instead.

Yeah, but all-boys private schools in Westchester are not often providers of big-boy panties. I think he was also a little mad that he had to debate *gasp* a girl.

Oh that is true - but what I am saying is that there are lacto-facists who will yell at women who even consider supplementing, and perhaps those people shouldn't be lactation consultants. If you can produce enough, that's awesome, but if you can't, there is no need to sacrifice your health for it.

It's depressing but it's kind of true. Also, in Texas, apparently girls can get kicked out of school for being pregnant. It's like the 1950s over there.

My new favorite thing is putting my feet up on the sink (at home) or the stall door (at work). Bonus points for at work, since nobody can see your feet and try to engage you in conversation.

Put your feet up instead! It is so much better!

Ugh, my Creative Writing teacher wrote a memoir at 25. At least it did give me an insight to why he was such a terrible person.

True story: the State Fair is happening now and our local news team is there. They were asking opinions and questions of people coming in. One dude in a Duck Dynasty hat (of course) yelled "WHY ARE YOU REPORTING THIS WHEN WE STILL HAVEN'T FIGURED OUT BENGHAZI?" It was journalism gold.

We have a guy on the main stretch of our local highway who stands holding mutilated fetus signs and yelling at stopped cars. He frequently jaywalks so he can yell at people and stick his propaganda in windshields. I will not feel bad if he is someday clipped by a car. I won't be the one to hit him, but still, I won't…

Love it!!!!

There are a lot of crazy lactation people that don't supplement with formula. I remember calling a lactation consultant to ask about supplementing with my first because exclusive breastfeeding was exhausting - I was literally having my fingernails and lips turn blue from vitamin deficiency - and I got told I was a bad…

Ugh - Log Cabins are the worst. I never realized how many I knew until that video of the kid getting beaten and kicked out by his conservative family surfaced.

During my brief debate team career, I had a guy throw a fit and forfeit because the topic was abortion and he was assigned the 'pro-choice' side.

The library in the rectory of my dad's childhood parish had a coffee-table book on torture during the Spanish Inquisition, completely illustrated.

Yeah, if we're going with gruesome, I'll gladly share my husband's ankle surgery video (which made a seasoned nurse nearly faint) and post a sign that says DRY BATHROOM FLOORS SAVE LIMBS.

You are a far better person than I am. I think I would have lost my shit and busted that guy's car with any tool I had available. I just don't have the patience for that.

They'd think it's a just punishment for failing to keep their legs closed.

No laws - I live in a "compassionate conservative" state where you can go to jail for basically anything and it falls under a blanked "disturbing the peace"
