In the late '80's I moved to a small town called Mercer Island just outside of Seattle to live with my aunt and her three daughters. I had just gotten out of one of those "troubled kids" institutions that I still blithely refer to as a reform school, and needed to enough credits to graduate.

I normally have a stinge of hate (because I am jealous) of young people who go on to study in a university and actually have fun. I was so frazzled and being chased by the monster of poverty and fear of the world that I wanted to focus as much as possible on how to build skills and education that would translate to…

no one does anything better than taylor swift, mark.

Why? Its relevant to the issue. If she was driving drunk, it would be relevant what her blood alcohol level was. If she claimed "my body, my business" to that inquiry, she would be labeled a fool. Just because her dangerous activity here involved going into labor doesn't change a thing. Although, I will admit, I…

People asked palin about such things as the events seem to be very out of the ordinary, And well, conspiracy theorists love that stuff. A daughter who suddenly comes down with mono and vanishes from sight. A mother who goes from flat to huge rapidly, out of line with her previous pregnancies. Flying cross the…

I am not saying that the speculation re Sarah Palin's pregnancy in 2008 was justified - it wasn't. That being said, rb1121 said, "Its a fundamental bad lack of judgment to fly 2000 miles across the country when you are in labor." Which I have to agree with - and since she was running for Vice President of the United…

FUCK HER IN THE VAGINA ALREADY SHE IS READY AND WILL LET YOU I PROMISE

thanks for this article. It is easy for people to forget that a number of girls and woman are assaulted before they reach college age. All of those women need support and help.

Generously frosted:

Just Brad humming reminds me of a stoner ex-BF who would sort of space out and then start singing a song. Everyone doing it says "this is a collective endeavor, we didn't struggle for hours trying to pick a totally unique but hip song."

There's more proof for Larry that there is for Jesus, tbh.

OF COURSE HE DID BECAUSE HE'S A PERFECT PRECIOUS BABY ANGEL

Just putting this here, it's pretty hilarious and somewhat relevant.

Please...for the love of God,

A lot of them do believe this. I don't really understand the need to try to flaunt your intelligence, especially since it seems like getting a Ph.D. mostly just reflects your ability to afford to not work for nearly a decade. I have a hard time seeing higher ed. as anything beyond flashy conspicuous consumption for…

I'm the kind of person that would have lost my job at that first meeting. I would have stood up and been like "Excuse me you can't require that the females don't get pregnant. That's illegal". Yup. I was fired from a job once for refusing to attend mandatory unpaid meetings. I was brought back the next day when…

I got pregnant while between jobs and knew there was no point in job hunting because I figured I'd get fired/laid off as soon as I started showing. Thank god I married up or I'd be so screwed right now.

"weasel" being Cockney shorthand for "weasel and stoat," which means "coat."

I often use this instead of lorem ispsum on test websites for people, no one has ever noticed.
