I am from the south and I’m not even sure I fully understand sports where the clock doesn’t count backwards. But Yay!!!

My eight year old daughter watched team USA throughout this tournament. This little girl, who never wanted to compete in sports made me promise I would sign her up for fall soccer immediately. She is so fired up!

My aunt would come to my college softball games and weep because she wasn’t allowed to join the track team in high school or college. My own kids think nothing of the Women's World Cup, girls being physically stronger than boys, or their mom being athletic. It's normal and that is a victory for us all.

That goal from mid-field was INSANE to watch live. My Dad and I were like wait....what is she....is she....is the goalie...how can....GOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!!!

Considering England beat Germany in the 3rd place playoff and dominated Japan and should have won the US vs England would have been the proper final.

I saw Bel Biv Devoe 2 years ago and TLC last week. I just don’t know if I’d see Bobby without New Edition.

Just horribly sad.

Agreed. Part of what makes Smart so brave is her gentle but confident renunciation of the way she was brought up concerning the ideas of women’s meekness and dependency on men.

I wish the Duggar girls read her book and interviews, because their religion has made them feel shame and guilt of their own sexual abuse. I’m sure there is still this heavy load that they are carrying even after marriage.

Elizabeth Smart is a woman of unthinkable courage and strength. She has chosen the most noble path possible. Her activism for children who have been raped and sexually abused has no doubt saved countless lives and helped to begin the process of mending damaged souls. She is doing the single most important thing to end…

At least he’s trying to make money on his own and not riding his parents coattails. His siblings sound like lazy, untalented wastes of space.

And if I have to read ONE MORE article about how everyone suddenly hates vocal fry, I’ma get myself a machine gun. Everybody just fucking stop. There is nothing wrong with the way women talk and write. Gaaaaaahd.

I’m a senior member of my work group and work in a highly technical job, so when I’m explaining things to people, I regularly ask if what I’m saying makes sense. Often, people won’t stop and ask a question if they don’t understand something, so I stop and check periodically. I don’t say it in a condescending way. I’m…

The town goes bankrupt spending all of its money on fixing every citizen’s roof.

Diamond just has to watch out for those evil Democats.

My cousin had something similar at his wedding. Kids were allowed but they had they’re own smaller reception with kids food in the lobby and were taken care of by 2 sitters. And they had games and a movie going. You had to be around 12 to be in the main reception. I thought that was a fair compromise.

I’m 36 and have two kids (3 and 6 months). A friend of mine is getting married next year in New Orleans. I’m ditching the kids, ditching the husband, and am off to have the time of my fucking life. Another friend, same exact boat? Same plan. We want a party wedding, damn straight.

On my wedding invitations, we put “Number of adults.” My cousin wrote 2 in the spot beside it and then proceeded to add “+ 1 child” in handwriting. It was an awkward conversation, but come on. I thought that was subtle enough that I wasn’t being rude about it.

I didn’t want kids at my wedding but my now husband gave me a heartbroken look when I said that so I pivoted and not only welcomed kids but hired two sitters to watch the kids and we even had a playground at our venue and reminded parents to bring a change of clothes for their kids. If kids are guests every effort…

It may have been considered rude in the past to explicitly state “no kids” on the invitations, but this is 2015. People don’t all live in the same town and know the bride’s mom who is traditionally the Chief Disseminator of information of that kind. So if you don’t want kids at your wedding, SAY SO. It’s rude not to,…
