OMG, she is amazing. She’s actually nailed the pattern matching thing. You should let her dres you for a week. It would be a blast. (my friend did it and she wound up in a gown for the market)

to start this off, i would like to say that i would very much enjoy making $50 an hour.

Not only did every member of his family capture the moment, they did it in landscape, as God intended.

I never did anything like this when I was a teenager. My parents never let me go out of the house or do anything. It would never have occurred to me to want to go to a party like this at all at that age. All I wanted to get to do was go to the movies and maybe a play that my friends were in. But my parents also never…

I agree Nikki; if you are ever abused by a police spouse, getting help is almost impossible. I know because I worked with police spouses who were abused and tried to get them justice. Sometimes I was more successful than others. But I was working from the inside. I was a cop, married to a cop, a decent, law-abiding…

I am so sorry, I don’t want to be #notallcops but I am marrying a police officer in three months and he is the most kind, gentle, brilliantly intelligent feminist man I have ever known. Of course, I’m in Canada and he’s RCMP which, although they have their share of problems, overall has much, much higher entrance…

I think “othering” people is dangerous. Thats how we got here in the first place. It needs to stop. A person is much more likely to catch an std or hiv from black ppl but its hurtful if people chose not to date my family members because of that. One black cousin of mine has hiv and two cousins on my native side died…

They were convinced there was a link between us. The Dean of Students even banned me from the bookstore and threatened to have me suspended until I basically noted that this was discipline and I wasn’t being given any due process and they had no cause to proceed. They caved after that. I spent the next three years…

Your college doesn’t care until they can look bad. I got surrounded by cop cars at my alma mater because I fit a description. I was questioned for an hour and kept telling them I wasn’t who they were looking for.

A very similar thing happened to me. I was 16, my mother, who had been awake for several days on a meth binge and was now visibly wasted on several other substances, was verbally abusing me and starting to get physical. Neighbors called the police, my mother told them that I was abusing her and the police made me…

Domestic abuse is said to be higher in police officers’ homes than the national average - roughly 2 to 4 times higher.

Yeahhhhhhhh my nearly two year son is really into police...he regularly his crashes his matchbox cars and has them say “help me!” and then drives in his little police motorcycle “I coming! I help you!” My husband and I are hoping this is a phase because it’s going to be a heartbreaking day when we have to explain to…

So true. People I know who have gotten to that step don’t get any results from it. :( The only time I’ve seen results is when it happens so frequently with the same cop that they have to address it. And unfortunately, the threshold for how many times that is seems to be way too freaking high...

I have sporadic conversations with my (white) boyfriend about this. He does things that I’d never do because of that very reason.

The sad thing is, even if they'd had his name at the time the assaults happened, probably nothing would have happened to him.

hahaha - i totally agree with the sentiment but had to laugh seeing it coming from John Boehner :)

I reported my college ID stolen (taken off of a cafeteria tray I had forgotten to grab before dropping it off to be cleaned off). I went out of town that weekend with the Marching Band. I get back on Sunday night and the police arrived at my dorm...not with my ID but rather to question me. Seems like the dirt bag who…

I took a Marriage & Family class my senior in college (I had 3 credit hours to burn). 30 years later, it has turned out to be one of the best classes I ever took as an undergrad. The prof emphasized this point over and over—the most important person in your life should be your partner, not the kids. Celebrating our…

The problem is, when do you let them start being self-sufficient? My sister has ignored her husband and made every waking minute of her life be about taking care of her two sons for the past 18 years, and now that they’re getting ready to go off to university she’s losing her gourd and literally starting to talk to…

I think the emphasis is on doing it strictly as a couple, as opposed to with a group or with children/family present.
