Thank you for the chuckle. I too cannot comprehend anyone ever enjoying high school. Any part of it. Besides skipping high school, the only time I learned anything of value was when I was out skipping it.

I have this argument with people all the time. 8 cups of water/day is TOTAL fluid, from fruit, soup, even bread has water in it. Globally speaking, having access to one clean cup of water/day is a luxury, never mind bottles and bottles of the stuff.

The jacket tied around the waist was a sure giveaway in highschool and I even worked with a 40 y/o woman who was surprised every month she got her period, and left work one day with her jacket tied around her waist.

My neighbour is a TEACHER, and her son, who is about to start school in a few days, still doesn’t wipe his own butt. She doesn’t think he ‘does a good enough job’ to which I say, ‘there is always the bath at the end of the day!’ I wonder if she’s secretly trying to sabotage her kid or his teacher... because it’s going…

So with her logic, rape can be prevented by wearing running shoes. Magic running shoes.

Beautiful.

You must have had “thoughtful and considerate” on your report cards growing up :)

Thank you! You should check out the Hotline documentary. She is so freaking cool but got shafted big time.

Miss Cleo lost everything being the mascot of that psychic hotline thing from the 80’s. Shouldn’t have happened to her, it really should happen to Jared. Ohpleasepleasepleaseplease.

What could go wrong?

That was the clearest explanation because I was starting to feel really stupid following this conversation. So thank you. If you were to be able to see this that is.

High Five! Oh. Never mind. Nobody can see me for obvious reasons.

When my kids are out with their dad, he will have multiple people come up and tell him what a great father he is and what great children he has. When I’m out with the kids (which is the majority of outings) not one person tells me what a great mother I am. We have such a low bar for men in our society. It is so low…

Thank you! A kid will eat when a kid is hungry. No kid will starve to death going without food for a day. There is nothing wrong with letting a kid build an appetite so that he/she can truly enjoy some healthy food when ready to do so. I see so many parents guiltily stuff tidbits of snack food into the kids mouth…

It takes an awful lot of people to ensure these guys get away with it. But a whole fucking town?! FFS.

I’m so sorry you didn’t have any decent support around you, how lonely and confusing and uncalled for. I’d like to recommend this article: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/…. And also say I love your handle, one of my favourite songs!

I know I will never be out of the greys, but I have to try to recommend this article on grooming: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2012/…

I had an all-out cat fight with a good girlfriend of mine because she hovers and sprays urine all over and leaves it for anyone/everyone else to clean up including me. I’m so sick of cleaning a toilet seat because someone doesn’t want to get germs :-/ Who do they think cleans the toilet?! Fairies?

Yes! I had to join Cadets in order to go to Summer Camp. We learned how to work really hard and pee in front of our friends, so I guess that’s something.
