Unfortunately, a lot of people think sexual harassment is only "big mean Boss man tells young secretary to give him a blowjob in order to get a raise". They don't realize that jokes, gestures, etc. can be construed as sexual harassment.

It really is amazing. I had a sadistic mother who would occasionally beat the daylights out of me and knew how to hit so it wouldn't leave conspicuous bruises. The worst part was her psychological terror - my dad and I were always walking on eggshells. It took me until last year to realize that she was indeed…

This happened well before my time (early 1970s), but here is the story I heard:

My friend's lab managed, in the span of three months, to eat a BlackBerry, a chair, and a glass ornament. I don't know how he didn't require surgery and/or die.

Ugh, my friend's beagle used to love to eat our pads and tampons. He would make a big show of it, dragging it from the waste bin (which was a step bin - we always wondered about that one) out into the living room and slowly devouring it. #NaturalHunter.

Buffalo: NY's answer to Florida (despite the fact that there is a Florida, NY).

That's it - I need to take it for hormonal regulation. I don't know what I'd do if the high-estrogen pill wasn't available for me. I have friends that feel the same way about their methods of birth control.

Especially since I got pregnant while on the pill (I was on a high-estrogen pill for a year and then was switched to a very low-dose progestin one that was the only one my insurance would cover - it actually made a perfect hormonal situation for me to ovulate and get pregnant), I am anal about taking my pill on time.…

We're afraid to say no because there is a very strong possibility that we may be met with violence. We have no idea whether a guy is a normal guy or a complete psychopath. Hell, I'm married but I've gotten met with near-violence for turning a random stranger down.

Ugh, Mayim, I can't deal with you anymore. Personally, I am a little over Frozen (it officially jumped the shark when my husband showed me the Frozen/Fifty Shades mashup) but it is still an enjoyable movie and the songwriters were awesome during their appearance on NPR. I'm not a fan of Mayim's style of "I'm so cool…

I am too. And I am all in support of after-school programming, since it gives kids various options that they might not get. A lot of the kids in the district I attended had parents who worked until 7:00 or later, and the programs allowed these kids to get homework help, take part in extracurricular activities, and get…

No problem :)

Thank you.

You wonder what the husband's opinions are and you are insinuating that she is a single mom.

That is great that they could provide school supplies. Yeah, I am living in the South and it is a goddamn nightmare for some parents. The neighbor boy offered to mow our lawn for $10, and since we don't own a lawnmower, we accepted. I unfortunately realized that he was immediately giving that money back to his family…

I cannot start this enough. Also, why do we not have low-cost after school care yet? The YMCA by me costs like $90 a month.

I think the lack of a parental structure is a major part of this too, although it states it was her wedding ring, I haven't seen/heard her husband's response to this issue as of yet.

That's it. By the time I got to high school, the rule was that you couldn't use red or pink pens and that you had to use a pencil on math tests. Other than that, you could take notes on cocktail napkins and no one would give a crap.

Well, you were the one to tell me to fuck off, the one blaming a woman for being single, and etc. In the long run, if you don't realize the complex nature of poverty and that your experience is not the overarching experience of most living in poverty, you will lose in the long run.

You sound like such a lovely person - that divine blend of classist, racist, sexist, and all-around deluded.
