Because Indiana doesn’t have enough problems to worry about. Why not spend all of their time on something as...(all appropriate descriptive words escape me right now)...as this bill. I live in Chicago but will always be surprised when I read about what the Indiana legislature is up to next.

Jesus Christ. Right? It was already a shit day, but this just did me in completely.

Nordstrom. Singular. I’m o.k. with “Rhesus”. That doesn’t send chills down my spine like “Reesies”.

I think more people say “Reesies” than don’t, and don’t ask me why. Got to be the same people who say “Nordstroms”.

Because there aren’t enough “Mommy Blogs”. Ugh. I realize that’s not the point of the story here, but I made the mistake of perusing her Blog Of Infinite Goop-esque-Mom-Wife Wisdom and this weathered, worn, working single mom of 3 can’t roll her eyes hard enough.

High five, fellow avid CrossFitter! There are also a few heavier women (AND MEN) at my box and they’re f’ing monsters. I don’t want this thread to turn into a CrossFit war, but I will say that one of the things I love about it is that all sizes are welcome and the emphasis is on strength, not body weight. Some can do…

I drink kombucha every day and I’m sort of addicted to it (as long as I don’t look at the bottom of the bottle when I’m drinking it).

You pick your battles, right? I’ve got enough problems. Engaging in a 3-day food standoff with a toddler isn’t one I’m interested in engaging in. My kids are teens now but I still just make what I know we all want to eat because who has time for this shit?

THIS. I don’t watch it because I actually care about any of the Bravo people (Yolanda, Lala, Ariana, Lisa, Scheana...I’m picking up on a pattern); I watch it specifically for these conversations. When any of the people on any of the Bravo shows are just sitting around chatting, I’m on the edge of my seat. What…

Stop it right now. Damn.

So I’m 100 years old and will admit that my first concert was Talking Heads’ “Remain in Light” tour. My older bros and sisters took me and I still see/hear it like it was yesterday. Blew my mind. This post reminds me that I need to make my kids watch “Stop Making Sense” because my god, the dancing.

“GET ON THE LIFE BOAT OF SINGLEDOM GIRL. ITS GREAT OVER HERE. WE HAVE DISCOUNT VALENTINES CHOCOLATES AND RESCUE PETS.” You’ve changed my life with this line. I’ve been single since for many moons and here’s what I’m going to do: I’m going to make business cards with this line on it and quietly hand them out to all of…

Summed it all up for me. Thanks. I’m an “older feminist” (can’t roll my eyes harder when someone labels me a “second-wave feminist”, as if my age now reduces me to a less-hip, less-knowledgeable, feminist-lite) and I personally haven’t encountered the obligatory vote thing, either. I’ve seen it analyzed over and over…

Yes! I have 3 kids and my youngest was 4 yrs old when I got pregnant while I was on a low-hormone dose IUD (I have clotting issues). At that time, I had been divorced for 2 years, I was dating my first post-divorce “boyfriend” and I truly could not have continued the pregnancy—for a variety of reasons. My life - and…

I feel like I have to duck and cover when I tell someone I’m voting for Clinton when asked. Why the vitriol? I find it so bizarre. Hey, I like Bernie and I have no ill will towards anyone who supports him. I get it. There are just a couple of, you know, minor things (the disaster that is his single-payer health…

THANK YOU. I kept thinking, hey, wait...why is the onous on Ladyology to do the work for this Jess person?

Word. I just paid $5,500 to a lawyer to set up a trust for my kids so The Idiot can touch NONE OF IT. My 11 yr old does commercial acting and I know that loser is just sitting back waiting for a chance to cash her checks.

You mean this is a “new, unexpected Kanye” to Kim?

I totally get it. And it all seems completely absurd.

Just came here to write the same thing. I’ve been an employment litigator for longer than I care to admit here and am here to say that if a company doesn’t have trainings, policies, etc., it has more to overcome when defending an action. Training on Title VII, the ADA and the ADEA does a lot to insulate a company.
