Blame it on the youngest kid. Always works.

Let's not be denigrating those skills! They're key to any concerted effort. Maybe you can be the mysterious supervisor back at HQ, like Charlie's Angels. Which reminds me, your team is going to need some fugitive-capture outfits.

I once worked at an institution for the mentally handicapped that was over 120 years old. It was on 50 acres and at one time was totally self-sufficient. They farmed and raised animals, had their own hospital and a total of 2000 residents and 5000 staff. I arrived as a social worker with experience in community…

Boring story: it was abandoned because there was structural instabilities and they built a new one a few miles down the road, where I went to elementary school. Also I'm pretty sure Mrs. Huss went to go teach at the new school, and then retired and lived down the road from my parents' house for years.

let's try that again:

I can only click the star one time.. but stars to infinity for you <3

I just don't understand why they think that's beneficial at ALL. At the very least, it's disrespectful of someone you didn't even know, and at most harmful to people who need help or in the midst of a very real fight for their life.

You know what I think? I think anyone who's never stood and stared suicide in the face should shut the fuck up. I think anyone who hasn't cried themselves to sleep and wake in the morning only to find fresh tears are already falling should sit the fuck down. I think anyone who doesn't understand what it's like to be…

I really wish you could unpost this. I get that people are shitty and say shitty things and it's click-worthy, if not news-worthy, to report on it. However, I just wish that all the shitty responses that people posted self-righteously about suicide being the "cowards" way out didn't garner ANY attention...least of all…

yes because only white people are activists.

Agreed, totally unacceptable. I also wonder how big the restaurant itself is, and what type of building it is. Where I work, we have one in the women's restroom but not one in the men's, because it's just an old house converted into a restaurant, so the bathrooms are teeny tiny and there's issues with zoning stuff for…

And get your shit together. Remember how most places didn't have changing tables in bathrooms until extremely recently? Somehow we survived.

OF COURSE YOU CAN'T CHANGE A FUCKING DIAPER IN THE MIDDLE OF A RESTAURANT.

I am rereading Onions in the Stew by Betty Macdonald. Tomorrow I am making a completely from scratch coconut cream pie.

Sorry these are so gigantic - don't know how to format on the iPad. These are three hair ornaments I completed this past week. I did a wedding so I made boutonnières and corsages as well. Yay peacock feathers!

Yay Melbourne! I heard about this apology, and I'm so glad it happened and that it wasn't the "sorry if anybody was offended" type of apology. Having lived in Melbourne, Victoria all my life, I have seen a change in our police force. I know gay and lesbian people who have joined the force and never regretted it.…

apologize is normally spelled with a z

Not in Australia, which is where this apology come from #yourusernamesuitsyou.

Only in North American varieties of English. In Britain and Australia, the -ise ending is used. I believe Miss Callahan isn't based in North America, and the original press releases are obviously Australian in origin, so it stands to reason the -ise would be used.
