We were able to step in at the last minute and pick up the Womens World Cup too when there was Sars in China. We could do this because it’s such a big country with lots of sports arenas for sports that are not soccer. Brazil had to build a bunch of new stadiums that will never be used again. I think that we just had…

I suggested the show to my Mother and she asked me, “Why would I watch that show, I lived it”. Yeah, my Mom was a hard core feminist back in the day. I hear you. There is nothing wrong with being a homemaker but imagine not being able to take out a loan without your husbands permission. Imagine living in a world where…

Bill Murray is one of the nicest celebs! My daughter met him once. She was 12. She went up to him and said “Does anyone ever tell you that you look like Bill Murray?” I think that he said no. It was him.

Marvin? My father’s ex-girlfriend, also Van Peebles ex lover at one point, claimed to have practically raised that kid.

He’s probably still a douchebag.

My son was around 7 or 8 and timidly approached Yogi Berra at a minor league baseball game. Berra told my kid to “Get lost, kid” or something along those lines. I can’t remember the exact words but my kid was pretty devastated.

Now we all know that he’s a relentless piece of shit. Thank you for sharing that.

I’ve lived in New York for most of my life & grew up in the West Village. I have encountered numerous celebrities and have never once had a bad experience. Generally, I don’t bother them at all, which helps. My favorites were Jeff Goldblum (+1) & Queen Latifa (+1).

Is it possible that you are doing too much for your kids? Can you cut down on their activities if they have a lot of them or find another parent to share in the transportation. I ask because it sounds to me as though you really need a break. Think about what they tell you on airplanes. In an emergency, you should put…

That’s good. Of course kids need some help and guidance but keeping your hands off as much as possible helps them to become independent adults.

I wanted children, desperately. I have never once regretted having them. I wish that Mothers who feel this way about their children would not have children. I fear that we still live in a society where having children is expected. Women who don’t have kids are looked down on. If you don’t want to have children, please…

Oh wait, here is another horrific article. http://www.villagevoice.com/1999-10-26/lon…

If I recall correctly, this procedure was done to Women who were considered to be property and were placed in institutions for things like wanting a divorce or cheating on their husbands. I guess that this was considered to be insanity. He performed the procedure A LOT at many different institutions.

Also found this…

Ha ha. Yeah, two year olds are like that.

I am a monster. I used to leave my kids in the car, where I could see them, while I ran into a convenience store to get coffee. One time I even locked myself out while the car was running. The fire department broke into my car and nobody arrested me.

I don’t get them any more but I’ve had them as cheap as $7.00

That comment = awesome.

Ugh. I am so glad I don’t have teenagers any more. The article should come with a PTSD trigger warning. This:

No black man should run from the police.
