I have as much disdain for these idiots as anyone else, but I do hope that this causes the medical community to do some soul-searching about WHY so much of the country has so much distrust for doctors and medical science, because they are culpable in it. It's incredibly difficult to get reliable and compassionate…

Anti vaxxers think there is a mysterious medical conspiracy to push vaccines and that they're part of the small group who really sees the truth. They think breast milk and organic foods can effectively combat contagious disease. They are as guilty of confirmation bias as any group I've ever encountered and they really…

This personal exemption clause BS needs to stop. Unless someone can't get a vaccine for health reasons, NO EXEMPTIONS!

Something tells me the conversation and reaction to all of this would be preeeetty different if the anti-vaxxers currently spreading horrible diseases around the country were poor and brown instead of rich and white. Instead of "personal belief exemptions" we'd have kids getting ripped from their parents by CPS,…

im so upset right now

Well hello memories. Wow!

But before bonne bell, there was Tinkerbell cosmetics. I've loved beauty products since I was a child.

Except for the layers of sweaters, that sounds super comfy. Where is your husband's family from? Did the wedding take place there?

My sister pretty much spent both of her pregnancies in a panic every time a kid looked sick because she teaches little kids in a really affluent area, so there are a bunch of anti-vaxxers.

How's your "family" of "vaccine" "researchers"? I mean, mom-and-pop businesses are hurting in this economy, especially if you are in biotech R&D.

I'm still sad about my dress appointment. I invited my mom and my sister. I was so excited to be getting married, I guess I just wanted to feel special. I thought they would like being asked, huge mistake. My mom checked out, mentally. She was like a doll or a shell or something. Barely spoke. My sister squinted at me…

I woulda taken three hours in the store and then snuck out the back door when she wasn't looking...

Who do these kids think they are?!? Next thing you know they will be telling us to turn the music down and get off their lawn.

My parents are the kind that think any woman over 40 should have short hair. I am past 40, have long hair and no intention of cutting it. Is this just a southern thing? Or does anyone else have to fight this battle.? I think there are no damn "shoulds" about any of it. ESPECIALLY when you get older. One of the best…

And don't you love that it only applies to women? We'd better look attractive until the exact arbitrary moment that we are no longer deemed as such, at which time we must immediately dress matronly so as to easily disappear into the backdrop and not cause anyone to have to look at us. Meanwhile, beer bellies and back…

i have to guess that you've never been back. that sounds utterly awful

That coffee latte story reminds me of a road trip I took with my older brother a few years ago. My brother is brilliant but missed his century by a couple hundred years. All this new fangled technology is too much for him.

And what time is Maaaaatlock coming on!?

Damn youths, smoking their Molly and moving their hands in front of the face part of my body! How dare they! Get off my lawn! Where am I?
