I totally understand that feeling about your kids having your name. But, I mean, your wife might feel the same way too. (I do.) Not really sure what the answer is though. *shrugs*

That's the length of my last name (thanks mom and dad!) I don't mind, but my sister hates it!

Ha! I have this argument- more often than seems necessary. I'm already double barreled so people tend to ask me what I'm going to do when I get married, to which my simple answer is keep my name. (Which is totally my choice! My sister on the other hand wants to "dump this eighteen-letter monstrosity I was saddled…

I was such a late bloomer, and I've never been one to have a lot of cruses (I used to lie to my friends to get them off their backs.) My first big crush was during university when I fell head over heels for one of the friends I made while on exchange.

I'm so confused... how do you even do this? I feel like every time I've rented in the past few years I've had to have proof of employment AND references from past landlords. It's insane! And that includes our incompetent landlord who we had to threaten to call the tenant's association on because he was always…

Girl Guides vs. Girl Scouts... are they all that different?

This! What's the only think I can think of that would make my cell MORE essential to me? If I couldn't afford a computer.

Yes? I mean I don't think this is an argument that anyone is having... if I went out tonight and had sex with some passed-out drunk dude that couldn't consent that would 100% be rape.

Um, people with children?

Well- I'm the geek in the family, so I am really not insulted and I know exactly what you are talking about.

Oh man- this pisses me off so much. I was in the store with my little sister two weeks ago- and she's wearing her Patriot's jersey (The whole family had to bail on Buffalo when they dropped Doug Floutie. It was a dark day in our household. We take the CFL very seriously.) Anyway the guy at the counter spent about 10…

Unless you have to go and buy something from the King St. MEC. Then it's just an exercise in rage.

Poor Brock- everyone else is so mean to them...

Hah! I was just coming here to say that!

I always feel like I'm missing out because I couldn't get into Supernatural. I've got a friend who loves it and I watched season 1 with her but just couldn't get invested in their relentless man-pain. Is it like a Parks & Rec thing? Should I persevere?

Yep! My yell of anger at my taxes this year sent my (soon to be married) roommate running from the next room. Married tax break my ass! As if life isn't already cheaper when you have a partner.

I wish I could have had some scathing retort- but I have to admit that I was all flustered and just sort of mumbled "um... that was really racist... I -um- have to get going now..." and FLED without looking at him.

Online dating is the worst. I had to walk out of a date the other day when the guy explained to me that he was worried about "The Women" because "The Muslims" were taking over. (This was pretty much exactly what he said word for word.)

Yep! Apparently they don't need much and this prevents over-watering.

Orchids aren't so bad! I kill most things and mine has been alive forever. Now I can't attest to this being any sort of real, professional method for growing them but here's how my mom taught me:
