Does anyone else remember the Doritos that were made from restaurant style white corn chips and had a slightly more spicy, piquant flavor (not burn-your-mouth-0ff spicy, just pleasantly zippy)? I feel like I must have hallucinated these but they were my favorite outlet for munchies circa 1995.

*fist-bump* Bring on the milk and cookies.

AKA hooking your boobies up to a vacuum. I always laugh when I see dudes all like, "Oh ho, you get these sweet ~special privileges~ for nursing, where's MY special little room, huh? Huh?!" Yo, you hook two suction cups to your nips for 20-30 minutes at a time several times a day and then get back to me about how…

I think this is probably a key factor, if not the key factor. My husband's parental leave benefits were ah-mazing (better than mine, and I work in a sector generally known for fairly sweet bennies). But less than a year after our son was born, his entire department was eliminated. And so it goes. It's all about…

What I meant is that there is not official government "papers please" certification, to my knowledge (I have been told this by people with service animals—were they mistaken)? There are private organizations that will test or train animals, but something like CGC or TDI are not "certifications" the way I'm thinking of…

There is no certification for service animals.

This is such a choice example of Man Of A Certain Age ideas about women's progress and how! great! it! is! Spoiler alert: it's still all about how hard their dick is. Attractive women of the world! Attention, attention! As long as you're still sexy, you can do and be anything you want! We grant you continued…

I think it's a power play. They KNOW dick pics make women feel uncomfortable so they know it's something they can do that will make a woman respond in some way (even if that way is quiet disgust and hitting delete). That's power. They made you feel/do something. I think that's the thing that guys who do this get off…

The only problem I see is the cause that it's a symptom of. When young people don't make enough to be independent households unto themselves, all the industries that rely on a steady stream of people buying, furnishing, insuring, and improving their own homes have a big, big problem. It's an economic problem, not a…

Don't care about her ~lifestyle~ bs but teaching children to get adequate sleep is important! I'm a big fan of sleep hygiene. Big, big fan.

This is honestly why I continue to use one of those back-seat mirror things (my toddler is still rear-facing) even though at this point he's fine back there, I don't *need* to check up on him while driving. But with the mirror, I can't look in my rear-view and not see him looking back at me. And on my drive from day…

I do this some times when I have surplus veggies from the garden. I put out a donation cup and people can leave what they want. I also live in a city. *shrug*

It's bad to take data that correlates and then just make up whatever causality floats your boat. Science doesn't work that way.

1. Yes actually it is the law in every state that anywhere that a baby has a right to be, a mother has a right to openly nurse that baby, without covering up or being asked to leave.

A lot of sociological research on the topic seems to indicate that, in fact, many boys and men do NOT know that rape is bad. And they definitely don't know what rape even is (there is a general feeling that the scary stranger jumping out in a dark alley and raping by knife or gun-point is rape, but situations like…

I don't really wear revealing clothing like ever ( not my style) and yet I hve been harassed plenty. One of the most threatening instances was when I was in business clothes (on lunch hour from my very dress code Washington DC office). I'm older now, and fatter, so now I get told I'm fat and ugly while out wearing…

Our water bill went up because our city jacked the water rates so it's hard to tell, but we don't actually do *that* much extra laundry. Newborns go through a lot of diapers, so during that phase we probably did 3 extra loads a week. But as babies get older and need fewer changes you do less laundry. Right now we're…

You get the chunkies off in the toilet and the rest goes in the washer. With newborns you don't even have to do that becuase their poop is basically just cheese and they don't produce that much at once. With older babies and toddlers you offload into the toilet (diaper sprayer is one method, or you can do the "flush…

We unhooked our diaper sprayer recently becasue it was always a little leaky for us (which I am positive is user-error) and we have been using flushable (I hope? they say they are and they're made of bamboo) inserts in our diapers instead. Despite our son being nearly 2 his poops are still uh they are not solid so…

If the issue is that you are an adult and need something moist to clean your behind, I have the product for you.
