We’re coming home along the Thruway and decide to stop at McD’s. There’s a woman and smallish kid in front of us getting huffy and I can tell this won’t end well. And in due time she starts yelling at the cashier, “Why is everything more expensive here? This is ridiculous! You’re ripping people off!” and so on, as the…

Dear dining public:

She’s had a hell of a life already, with her family situation, fame, internet weirdos and this. It’s amazing she has such a level head on her shoulders.

It’s not trolling until he sends IK out for the coin toss in week 10.

Go to Philly, up the hill past Manayunk, and hit any bar in Roxborough.

Because it’s a trial not a conviction (the due process bit of the Constitution). If she can prove she’s mentally ill to the point she’s not culpable, then she won’t be sent to jail but will be cared for.

Under juvenile law they’re pretty much free and clear in 3 years, with little or no accountability or after care.…

When my son was going through an INCREDIBLY picky stage, my ex-FIL asked to meet us at a fancy DC restaurant for my ex’s birthday. I was panicked, because this place had no kids menu, nor any main dishes or sides that would get us through. My mother couldn’t watch the boy and there wouldn’t be a chance to hit up drive…

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

Aye. I teach high school and we start at 7:20 a.m. Seriously some of my kids miss class b/c the sleep in or are still asleep when the arrive. IF we started later we would probably have a higher attendance and passing rate, which looks good to administrators at district and state levels. But no.

I teach elementary school. I have very mixed feelings about extended day programs but I’m totally on board with year round school. It will never happen. It’s too expensive. Anything that involves spending more money on education (unless that money is going to Pearson) is doomed to fail.

Most teachers I know, myself included, are all for later start times. Without fail, the first period I teach every day is a total waste because they are all half asleep. And we start at 8:20. (For reference, middle school in the Bay Area)

How fucking stupid is our current school model. Kids go from 7:30 until 3, when parents are working and can’t pick them up. The day is so jam-packed of test prep that there’s no room for recess or the arts. Then, they have 10 weeks off in the summer, where they forget like 30% of the stuff they just learned and again,…

Is his desire for joint custody based on love for his child, or revenge against her mom for making him pay so much child support?

Rest assured that if this came in under the character limit, I would have gone with it.

Did you say H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS?!

Roughly 3 metric fucktons, if my calculations are correct.

Wait? What the frick? How the heck do these numbknocks not know that bloggers frequently use adult language? Personally, I think that these people should eat caca and die. I mean seriously. If you’re complaining about harsh language on the internet, you deserve to choke to death after eating all of the weewees. I want…

Most of the time I can see an oppositional point of view. Not here. As you so poignantly say, welcome to the internet. The last bastian of Nofuckdom and dontgiveashitsylvania

Probably a fuckload.
