I have no idea who Laura is! Has she written here before? She sounds great!

True. That one time our gay, cross-dressing, truck-driving, heroin addict house mate got really coked up and sent me dick picks, I told my girlfriend about it. Cause damn, my life may not be amounting to much, but at least I'm living in a Lou Reed song.

First off, the CARD Act does not override state laws prohibiting credit card transaction surcharges. If your state laws ban such surcharges, they're still banned.

You are basically correct. 1 important note to keep in mind- the fees and rates will vary based on which company the business (in this instance the gas station) uses to process their card transactions. There are 1,000s of providers of this service charging different rates & fees.

Not sure I like being referred to as 'an old' but at 63 that's likely where y'all would place me. I agree with ToHelenBackAgain that the youth of America are going to do just fine. And you really can't tell a person's thoughts and prejudices just by counting the number of dootlin' lines on their face.

My lord. I can't tell you how many times these people pop up on my Facebook feed for how family oriented and Christian they are. Everyone in the Deep South just loooooves them. There are even life size cardboard cut outs at my local Walmart that you can have your picture taken with. I wish I made this shit up.

"It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than an anus. " — Sounds like my girlfriend every birthday

Something I apparently inherited from my dad without realizing it is a tendency to address the family pets with a lot of barely-rhymed gibberish. Had a golden retriever named Tucker that led to a lot of unfortunate stanzas.

Why not just use Incognito/Private browsing every time you're using a public computer or in public wifi?

This was brilliantly written. Bets on how long until Tracie is headhunted from Jezebel? This was probably one of the best researched and articulated stories I've read on here and that's being said by someone who has been reading Jez since its beginnings.

Additionally, if you get the laws of our country and the laws of your church confused on the regular, I will not be voting for you, no matter how many soup kitchens you pose at or kittens you rescue.

Republicans,

I'm so tired of the people won't watch porn if there's condoms in it bull. People will watch porn. They will watch it with a fox, in a box, on a train, in the rain, black and white and rainbow bright. For fucks sake. (Literally!) The argument is really similar to the whole 'boys don't watch movies with girl…

I'm pretty sure Huck misunderstood the meaning of YOLO

Hey Burt! You've got to include mine from the other night!!! It's in the gt post! If your craft project fails, you're screwed. There is no Plan B.

I signed up with BillCutterz after reading this article and now they've saved me about $360 total. They got me $18 off my cable bill and then $12 off my cell phone plan. It amounted to about 20% off each bill so I am really happy. Go BillCutterz!

This is a really neat idea. I'm going to sign up and see what they can save me.
