Well said.

I may have been a bit old, but was really niave and dorky and had one anyway. I was maybe 10ish?

He noted that poverty was generational, rooted in centuries of racism, and needs long-term solutions beginning with education and corporate taxation. Now, from there, we diverge-he has this whole "think" your way out of it and since government caused it, government can't fix it mindset, which really undermines…

Tim Scott is an interesting character. He's said some thoughtful things on poverty and race lately. I may not agree with his tax plan to solve it, but at least he's willing to talk about it. He's also a really, truly nice guy. Considering my other "voices" in power are Nikki Haley, Lindsey Graham, & Mark…

Slightly asymmetrical bob-dried and flatironed in 15 minutes or less!

Teacher turned professor turned district person here-I do feel like I need to look more...formal? businessy?...than I did as a classroom teacher. I started a tenure-track position before my 30th birthday and felt compelled to look professional (hair, make up, suits or equivalent) and separate myself a bit from the…

I spend 40 minutes every weekday morning-shower, lotions, creams & hair products, blow dry hair, flat iron hair, make up, dressed. I can't shower at night and I have to wash my hair before work-night sweater & eczema on my scalp. I do this while drinking coffee cups 1 & 2. I then make lunches for myself & kiddos while…

I threw up from the day I conceived until the day I delivered with both pregnancies. Usually only once a day after week 14, so manageable-ish. I threw up through labor with baby 1. The bright side?

little parasites, all of them

I would wear one. Maybe every day to work. With a cute blazer to keep it professional. This would be appropriate.

There is a growing body of research on PTSD and young children. I work in a school in a high crime, violent area where kids even younger have witnessed similar incidences, but usually with family members being killed. She'll remember. She will probably exhibit clinical signs of trauma. She will need family support,…

I lived in Atlanta for a bit-ugh. Heat, humidity, and smog. I actually taught middle school in a trailer for two years in ATL. It was hot. I'll leave that memory right there.

I do love a biscuit. And cheesy grits. With shrimp. Dammit.

We get pictures of cute, chubby babies with "Miracle!!" written all over them. When I was in college in FL and lived in ATL, we did get the full scare-tactic act.

Just promise to provide a video of any/all trolling, evolutionary flash mobs. Pinkie promise.

It doesn't help that it's all processed now, either. A double whammy.

Don't forget the pork tenderloin.

This. Calories are cheap, nutrition is expensive.

My grandmother was teeny tiny. Pocket sized. 4'10", 90 lbs and cholesterol over 300.

Thank you!!
