Her stupid whispery baby voice.

Sometimes they do actually GAF, but their feet hurt. Signed, female attorney turning 45 in July.

I actually wonder if this line of attack is backfiring on republicans. The poor/rust belt ones are just like, you libtards just hate him because he’s RICH! And the rich ones are more like, I literally don’t care if he has committed tax fraud to the tune of eleventy bazillion dollars, as long as he cuts my taxes and…

My parents both nearly have a heart attack if Fox even comes on. But they’re still lucid. We’ll see in a few years.

That’s crazy— my mom is a hippie leftie and is still ultra liberal at age 67. I can’t imagine her going that direction. I wonder if it’s sort of a “everything’s going to shit” apocalyptic thing that makes old people so fearful that they latch onto whatever the new big “change” thing is. Thankfully my parents channel…

They seriously come out that way, some of them. Not all, but some. I was a “no pink” mom when my daughter was born, and all gender neutral toys until maybe age 2-3. And then it was just too exhausting, like not everything has be made out of wood ok? And if she wants something girly, whatever- two kids under age 2…

Same. I may be old (40s) but I’m in decent shape (well, sort of, but I’m slim). I HATE all the one pieces with all the gathers and folds, or that are meant to suck you in. I found one at Jcrew that’s just black with scalloped edges, ties around neck, plain material. It’s fabulous. It actually looks like a young person…

You should totally start talking about how the government really needs to get public pensions under control, even if it means changing or eliminating pension plans and collective bargaining agreements for current employees and retirees. Because really, don’t we need to live within our means?

I clicked through and found this— how the hell did you leave out these kids’ names?

I seriously want to know what people like that say to you. Is it denial? Like, oh no, you’ll be fine, they wouldn’t do that! Or is more like, well, you know the government needs to get out of it and then it will be magically affordable! Or worst of all, you should have thought of that before you didn’t have insurance,…

The only thing I can glean is that some people’s premiums have gone up, for whatever reason, and now that all “because of Obamacare.” Some woman on my FB was ranting about that and claiming her broker told her that. Also, there are people who are incensed about the mandate and the penalty— like ermagod big gubmit!!!!…

This. Literally any movie.

I did too. Did you read What Alice Forgot? Also good. But her last book, Truly Madly Guilty, is beyond awful.

Worst. I feel so awful posting this anywhere, but there’s a kid at my kids’ school whose name is similarly misguided— Matalee. So obviously sounds exactly like Natalie. Except with an M. Her name came up a few times at home, so my husband and I would go “Ma-ma-ma MAT-a-lee.”Because that’s the only way you would hear…

I ordered two sheath dresses last week and returned them immediately after opening the box. Cheapest fabric you’ve ever seen, with a super chintzy silver exposed zipper going up the back. Even at 30% off, no thanks. Oh and their tshirts get holes.

I went to a trivia night with a group of Australians and British friends while in London and it was the best night ever. I came back yelling about how we need to have them in the US. They actually do but always at lame places nobody would ever go, and always on like a Tuesday night. In contrast, the london quiz night…

I can help with this. I live in a place like this and have kids in public school. Every year there’s a “parent party,” and it always has a theme and costumes. Always stupid. I think this year’s was 20s/speakeasy. One year was 80s prom. They’re not as lavish as these parties, but the tickets are like $100, and there’s…

Because they’re the only group that still has half the country running around saying things like “I don’t agree with that lifestyle, it’s a sin.” Because Bible. What if that were you and you had to listen to that nonsense? And then watch while their leaders pushed to limit your rights and whined about selling you…

We’ve actually done it a couple times, both to Palm Springs— once just me and a friend with our kids, once with all of us and two other families. Both times it was like, nobody gets up as early as us to do stuff, everyone else’s kids are a pain in the ass in a variety of ways, and everyone lets their kids have…

Ritual purity stuff in Judaism is ALL about getting your period. Seriously look it up— it’s bizarre, and I say this as a (nonreligious) Jew.
