Very well said, sir.

Thanks!

People ask women who are breastfeeding to leave places, regularly we can determine via the high number of news stories about it, though it's their legal right to do so and it can get an employee fired. I'm around a high level of ignorance pretty much every day because of where I live. I can buy this completely.

I do. Because I've seen similar things happen. Too often. My brother had a huge scar on his head and while most people were very gracious, there's always an asshole or two around.

People can be such assholes to kids just because they know they can often get away with it. She sounds like she had a tiny mind and was a miserable person. I'm sorry that happened to you.

To a baby, an aggressive Yorkie could do a lot of damage and fast. Focusing on breed rather than the potential of any dog to attack/harm is what's dangerous. Even the sweetest, most docile Lab I've ever met could develop an old age/health problem and turn on his kid. I worked with a Newfie who nearly harmed me several…

I could not agree more. I used to nanny at a house with a very small dog who from the start did not like the baby. I NEVER left her with the baby. If I went to the bathroom/answered the door, I put the dog outside in the fenced yard or took her with me. (She ended up re-homed to a place without children.) Even a tiny…

Outstanding line.

I agree. I see no reduction, just appreciation.

And thank goodness for you all.

Yeah, I agree. Very well could be something going on with her that has nothing to do with you. I wouldn't take it personally. Sucks though. I've been there too. A few months from now someone may mention that she's really not a friendly person and they feel awkward and unwelcome around her too. I've had that happen…

Word to ya, sister in temporary cash strappedness. You know you brightened the panhandler's day and had good intentions. Karma will smile on that.

She may have bad associations with drunk people. I do, so I can relate — just brings up a whole bunch of bad feelings/memories. I see a couple of avenues if you want to improve things. 1) Try to connect with her. You make the effort. Should you have to? No. But if you try to talk to her about her life and stuff she's…

I was just about to post the same exact thing. Well-dressed men are super hot to me. We'd need to mandate bad style.

And the Magdalene laundries were all either completely made up or really wonderful places (of slavery), right. I'm betting that's her stance on that one. Like some of the Catholics in my family...

Of course she did! Logic is not welcome at school.

I've read every single word of every single comment, and I've never done that before. So much brainpower here.

That was in the movie.

Extremely well said!

Wow, so much knowledge in this discussion. Thank you for mentioning this!
