I’m sure you’re right.

And that’s how you raise an asshole. Just following in your parents’ footsteps, I see.

I did not know this about red kernel corn and so I have none. I will be alleviating that deficiency immediately.

This was what I thought it was. Basically, it doesn’t work for ordinary day-to-day stress. (Timestamp for the ice water dunking is 3:30.)

He found an old box of commas in the back of a desk drawer?

If you want an “honest, open assessment” of how terms limits work, take a look at Michigan. dudebra is exactly right: it means that lobbyists and big-bucks interests have all the power because they’re the only constant while the elected “representatives” come and go. If you want government by ALEC, that is the way to…

As a grandparent, I agree with you. So I think between us we’ve covered it.

I have to completely disagree. Of course you’re going to screw it up. Everyone does. Just try to do it less than your parents did.

I raised two kids and we all survived to adulthood. I figure that’s enough parenting for one lifetime, thanks. Although since my son, DIL, and grandson live with us, I’m helping to raise a kid again. I’m not really any better at it, I just get to make all new mistakes.

Maybe she doesn’t want to have to cook the Thanksgiving turkey? Or (probably more accurately) doesn’t want to supervise the help doing it.

Spaceballs is also making a cameo appearance.

So far, 4 GOP senators* have said they won’t vote on a Supreme Court pick until after the inauguration. Not the election, the inauguration. There are a couple of others I can think of who are going to be doing some hard math this weekend and may also “advocate caution” or some such because their races are close enough…

This was my husband and me back in April. The secret to our sanity might just be “separately, but together”, especially during This Challenging Time™.

my “salad” consists of cucumbers, bell peppers, and opinions

Ayup. Petty Officer Chandler is probably really enjoying his new job, scraping paint off the deck of a big ol’ ship.

I’m a grandparent and I’m not sure, either. I could ask my grown-ups but they would probably assure me I’m not, yet.
