I've been working with my mom in her thinking about weight. Her family is like that at times. I'm breaking out of that way of thinking and trying to get my mom there. She's starting to get there but it's a long way to go.

I’m no music scholar. But at an intellectual level, I think she’s got an incredibly deft gift for writing lyrics that - while simple-sounding - consistently evokes imagery that manages to be both emotionally evocative and incredibly linguistically precise... while also conforming to an invisible but arduous rhyme…

Fuckin’ Craig Mazin putting this in perspective for us:

If a man is truly concerned about retaining one last name, then take hers. Problem solved.

Actually, my ex changed his name to take mine. I had first husband’s name, largely because of kidlet and because it was easier to spell/pronounce (Welsh last names can be a real bitch when dealing with those who only see it written). Since the ex was in a similar spot with his last name (and he had similar feelings as…

We have decided that any future children would take my last name, but nothing is set in stone.

Yeah, I don’t agree with this at all. As I said - no choice is 100% correct. If it worked for you and your wife, more power to you guys. I don’t think a family has to have a “name” (Oh no! - now our friends won't be able to call us the Whodunnits) and I’m not sure what your point is about awkwardness with my wife. If…

You know, I don’t care what women want to do in this regard. If you want to change your last name great, if not, also great. If you both want to come up with a new name, good for you. But I do really hate when other people decide for you.

Charismatic, no. Talented, no. Unique, almost certainly.

There’s actually a disturbing amount of script happening. Women like pink and ... like ... pearls and cursive and shit, right?

I haven’t dated anyone who wasn’t into BDSM since I was a junior in high school. I’ve taught dozens of people about bondage, flogging, canning, how to give good oral... I just like bringing out people’s sexuality and helping them enjoy it in an emotionally safe way. Sometimes that means starting an orgy at the kink…

There’s nothing scarier than a true believer on a “mission from God.” Trump only believes in money and getting the hear the sound of his own voice played over a loudspeaker.

Agreed. Cruz is utterly terrifying. He’s actually intelligent, and outright evil. The only thing that might keep him from being the nominee (besides Trump, of course) is that his own party hates his guts.

I think Trump might actually be the least terrifying of all the GOP candidates left.

Of course we’ve been there! Hey- man! Isn’t it fun to tell your wife she’s pregnant? hahha oh my gosh! I got to do that hehe when I stole my wife’s urine! But then her uterus emptied out (sad face). I was so sad that the first thing we did was make a video and put it online for profit!

Fiorina’s version of feminism: women telling other women what to do and how to do it, as opposed to men telling women what to do and how to do it.

Competence is so attractive.

I think that Brendan’s “normal” appearance was what allowed the prosecution to use him as they did. If Brendan had Down syndrome or some other unequivocally recognizable cognitive disability, no one would have accepted his confession as truth. Honestly though, as a high school teacher, there are PLENTY of kids who…

YES! When my partner and I were watching it, I paused it right there and had a 10 minute rant about that exact line. Reasonable doubt is for EVERYONE, even people who are guilty.

I was also disgusted by the prosecutor’s “reasonable doubt is for innocent people”.
