Yea it's not mutually exclusive. I still believe everyone is entitled to their personal space and she's still an asshole. And that's how things are.

Yeah. I’m currently in the process of teaching my twin 4 yr olds that they can’t just go around hugging people without asking first (even if it’s her sister). And then, it’s OK if the person says, “no, I don’t want a hug” and they should just move on (even if it’s her sister). I kind of feel bad for Ann Coulter here…

As a certified Non-Hugger, let this mark the one and only time I have ever sided with Ann Coulter.

And while we’re on the topic, can I ask all Jezzies to swear to not make their children hug or kiss anyone if the child refuses to? Kids need to know they have decision rights over their own bodies, and coercing them to “Hug Nana!” when the child plainly doesn’t want to hug Nana sends a confusing and bad message.

There’s a family friend who likes to hug everyone and kiss them on the top of the head (he’s quite tall), and while I like him just fine as a person, I can’t stand that. I’m very physically affectionate, but only with close friends and family, I don’t like strangers touching me and the people who hug you when you’ve…

I hate hate hate with a thousand evil things when people in Q&As ask their celeb hero/friend/weirdo for a hug. Gene Tierney anyone?

Yeah... I’m kind of with her on the no hugging thing. I mean, she’s a shitbag that doesn’t deserve to be scraping the bottom of my shoes ... but why do strangers feel the need to hug everyone?

Excuse me while I go commit ritual suicide over the realization that I not only agree with Coulter on something but actually sympathize with her.

It’s a reality TV show. No part if it accurately shows the people it portrays.

One in every four sunscreens in this year’s database is a spray. People like sprays because they’re easy to squirt on squirming kids and hard-to-reach areas. But they may pose serious inhalation risks, and they make it too easy to apply too little or miss a spot.

I have always thought that Scully “settled” with Mulder, when I felt she could have had a loving and stable relationship with that shining dome of hotness, AD Walter Skinner.

See, if I was a dude, I wouldn’t even have said “I don’t have any proof.” I would have been like, “Numerous studies from highly reliable sources have shown that men face less severe consequences than women when they get caught bullshitting at work.” And then someone would have been like, “What studies?” And I would…

My boss does that all the time! She leaves early every damn day, and she never tells us ahead of time or bothers to explain herself She’s just like, “Well...bye!” She’s really shattering that glass ceiling.

We can chalk this up to a larger societal problem, which is how Americans work themselves to death and sacrifice everything to appear busy. This “cult of busy” rewards people for boasting about how tired they are and why. Downtime and vacations are a dirty word in corporate America and despite how busy we are, we…

Ewwww, some bitch did that to me pretty recently: “You really need to stop being vegetarian, there’s no way you can get enough protein that way.” I was like, “I smoke a pack a day so the amount of protein I eat is pretty low on my list of worries, health-wise.” But, of course, what I really wanted to say was, “Mind…

It’s not about insulting. It’s about hanging out with someone who just read something on a blog and think they’re more informed than my dietitian about nutrition science (and my medical history). It happens more often than you think, and it gets fatiguing after a while.

I’m vegan and if there’s one thing I know it’s that I DON’T belong to any secret club, unless that club is called: People Whose Protein Consumption is Regularly Called Into Question by Strangers.

Re: wafers - I assume they are de-glutenized when they become the body of Christ...unless Jesus ate a lot of bread that day.

Yes, it was a weird place. Not surprisingly, it didn’t last that long. I think it was taken over and is just a gluten free place now.

Then get your kid some therapy rather than trying to passive-aggressively control the diets of everyone around you.
