It's a total Ted move. He's thinking about seeing Robin again, but needs to let his kids understand that she was a huge force in his life — one that drew him to meet their mother — and that he's not just settling for his divorced friend. And, because he's Ted, he needs his kids' approval.

There's a belief amongst some parents that chicken pox is "no big deal" and chose to forgo the vaccine, and then there's the subset of parents who actively try to infect their kids with pre-licked suckers and pox parties and oh my god, I want to shake them.

God, I had some SJW lecture me on word choice because I said "I'm being a spaz about X." She ripped into me about being sensitive to the plight of people with CP, a horrible disease I'd never understand. I let her get her piece out, and then explained I spent twenty years in PT, OT and speech therapy so my CP ass…

I clutched my pearls. ESK is the best.

Best online yarn store is eatsleepknit.com, hands down. Yarn marathon? Yarn lotto? BLACK FRIDAY SALES OF DOOM?! Man, I fucking love them.

Has to be someone new to town. Has to be.

Burqueña here. The Supper Truck is one of the best damn food trucks in ABQ. Amy's song is just the icing on the cake.

So, a friend took me to a Planet Fitness on a guest pass. An employee was really pushing me for a fitness assessment and personal training blah, blah, blah, but I wasn't really into it. I just wanted to lift. But within ten minutes, I was booted from one for lifting "too much weight" and being "too intimidating" on a…

A friend of mine claims she hooked up with BDT when he was in town for filming 21 Grams a decade ago, and she's a Lindsay clone (if Lindsay had gone into med school instead of rehab).

I never saw you there. Not once. Not ever. Definitely not.

You're on Rav, right? And addicted to the "New For You" section on the patterns tab? Right?!

And yet she doesn't have her PhD and hasn't found a cure for cancer. What's your excuse, Fit Mom? What's your excuse?

I'm lizzing! I'm lizzing!

I'm willing to let the Post headline pass. It was a solid physics joke written on deadline, and the copy editor probably feels HORRIBLE now that it was called out on Jezebel. It doesn't stack up to the absolute grossness of the rest of the examples. I'm less outraged and more thinking, "Ok, something good will…

As a former copy editor, I'd tell you about the pressure of writing timely, appropriate headlines, but I wouldn't want to Bohr you.

It's a physics joke, not a racist joke! OH MY GOD, THE SCIENCE LITERACY IN THIS COUNTRY!

You don't mess with the Girl Scouts, man. We didn't earn those archery badges playing Wii.

Weaning is not going to happen here, like ever. She will scream herself to puking if she can't nurse before bed. She doesn't suck her thumb, she doesn't take a paci, she nurses for comfort. I think of that, and I think about what age I was when I finally gave up sucking my thumb, and I shudder.

Now, I am almost 2.5 years into this nursing adventure and I'm going to confess something: I wish I'd done formula. Maybe not full time, but fuck, man. I've got a toddler who sings, "I LOVE YOUR BOOBS!" in the grocery store. It's ... not what I expected in my blissful pregnant days.

I'm ok; a cold never bothered me. My husband is a different story. He's why I go off on antivaxxers and refuse to see my inlaws when they have "allergies." He's got a compromised immune system, he always will and the next few years are going to be hell on him.
