I feel that we as a species ought to be past killing as a punishment. Let’s hope the Supremes think so, too.

I worked at a place which served homemade hot potato chips with the onion dip. It was ridiculously delicious.

Yay for your husband! I am going to make a wild and crazy prediction, that turnover in his location will be a fraction of the average in other stores. Retail is awful, but, he is doing his part to make his store not as heinous. It sounds like he’s good at what he does.

How nice to read a happy story about a new life, a cool-headed doctor, and everyone cooperating towards a good outcome. I’m not a mushy squishy gal, exactly, but this made my day. Well, this plus the gorilla and the kittens. Moar of these please!

I had two bouts of major post partum depression, bordering on psychosis, following the births of my two older children. Never did I have any urge to harm them or myself or anyone else, but I can see how one’s reality gets skewed, and thus how these horrific things happen. Thankfully, mine were short lived, and by the…

Right?? He should be in the prison cell, for impregnating his wife after a doctor warned them not to have more pregnancies, and for leaving his profoundly ill wife alone with five vulnerable children.

It’s probably just me, but, I laughed hard at the Delta sketch. “I was outside the plane!” is a phrase I could see becoming a family classic tagline, because we are strange people.

Oh, absolutely, it’s a complex issue, and I know we prop up the regime.

Arab people are beautiful, but some of the countries they have to live in are hell holes. Saudi Arabia is the worst country in the world. I’m sure lots of decent people who call that shit pile “home” wish they could make it better, but they are up against a confluence of oil money and entrenched fundamentalist…

There’s a big difference between teenagers “cheating” in high school vs a professional, married man bringing a nursing student to the apartment while his partner recovers in the hospital from child birth. And then gaslighting the whole event.

I agree with this. Following a bad experience, I found Chumplady.com, and my suspicions, (that cheating is a form of emotional abuse), were confirmed.

I lived in the deep, deep south for many years, and never came across that supposed regionalism for soda in general. Yet every time I get ready to write it off as an urban legend, someone purports to have come across it. Perhaps it’s just not a thing in south Alabama, I don't know.

Haha, right? I’m here trying to read it aloud to someone, and I can’t even get the words out, I’m crying!

My son goes to high school with several kids who work as many hours as they.can, and it’s not for party money. It’s to help pay the electric bill, put food on the table, and maybe get a little sister a new backpack.

My eighth grade art teacher recently passed away; I saw her obituary in the paper. She was fantastic! Not only was she one of the first teachers to treat us like adults, she also had non-artist me really getting into ceramics and watercolors that year. She would walk us to a nearby park, and tell us to really *look*…

Our monitor never picked up any of that, but my husband bought this police scanner off a sketchy friend. Said scanner had fallen off the back of a truck, or something. Yeah. Anyway, cell phones were just becoming a thing at that time, and we heard some interesting conversations. A very active crack dealer, two really…

Haha! This is hilarious! The best part is the shameless follow up.

I would still be hospitalized if that had happened to us. Did she freak? It was bad enough, back in 1997 when the youngest was an infant, and we got a new cordless phone. All of a sudden, these horrible sounds that sounded like evil voices from beyond started coming over the baby monitor, and it almost made me come…

Does that douchebag ever *not* smirk?

Exactly. The Law is way too complex for much overlap in specialization. Not to say there isn’t *some*, i.e., I am sure somebody’s tax attorney brother could adequately represent a nephew for a drunk and disorderly, or whatever. But, if you want to get really good at what you do, you pick an area and concentrate on…
