This cat needs to be enrolled as an avalanche rescue cat in CARCA, stat! http://carca.ca/ I proudly wear my CARCA avalanche rescue cat shirt: They Have Nine Lives Because You Only Have One.

This mother is completely misusing the "natural consequences" parenting concept. Here's how natural consequences works: I got my kid a cellphone. She carelessly lost it. What was the natural consequence? She no longer had a cellphone. I didn't buy her a new one for a year. That is a consequence.

I am from Maine, and I can say that NO ONE born in Maine ever eats a lobster with "mascarpone cheddar sauce with Panko-parmesan topping." Three kinds of cheese on a poor lobstah? All you need is some melted butter. Why on earth would anyone pay for such an abomination? Of course the lobster will have been frozen…

Why do they both think that an ellipsis followed by exclamation points is acceptable? "...!!!"

Speaking as a former attorney, I am just gobsmacked. Someone admits to having committed a crime, and the dean doesn't have a problem with keeping that person on campus? She doesn't see the inherent risk to other students of keeping rapists around? Just mindboggling.

Like many women, I developed a little crush on my anesthesiologist (even my husband said, "He has a James Bond thing going on"). But I would never have taken a Craiglist ad out to hit on him, and in my defense, I was in excruciating pain which he made vanish (also he complimented me on my strength and pain tolerance).

I'm pushing 50, and I almost never get harassed on the street any more. Instead of complaining about it, I fucking rejoice about it. My life is so much easier now that I can run my errands without dealing with a dozen men needing my attention and demanding things from me.

We didn't have to take any ethics or professional responsibility where I went to law school (Stanford). The position of the school was that ethics were somehow imbued in everything we studied, so wouldn't it just be silly to have a special class for what we were already breathing in the very ethical air? In reality…

As someone who has been raped, I really hate this line of rape prevention thinking. I especially hate when it comes from other women who by luck have not been raped. I say "luck" because I believe not being raped is largely luck. I remember being told by one woman, "I've never been attacked because I'm really…

I came from an always emotionally and occasionally physically abusive family. It sounds like hell to me to have to stay in that and raise my own children. For me leaving home to shack up with dudes was heaven come true.

p.s. My daughters are now 14 and 11, so I have 14 years of experience with this issue and no problems to date.

I kept my own name and gave it to my two daughters. I know two other couples who did the same thing.

Was it a uterine cyst or a fibroid? The article mentions both, but those are two very different things affecting different ladyparts (and I say that authoritatively, having suffered from both at different times). Or did she have both?

I drive for Lyft occasionally part-time, and to clarify: a Lyft driver has a criminal background check, their car is inspected (and must be a young car), and they have to pass a driving test as well as the background check. Some of the other car services don't do a criminal background check, but Lyft drivers are…
