I’m originally from Cobb County, so this case has definitely been on my radar. Most of Georgia has followed it, actually. Which makes it even more ridiculous when one of my bosses earlier this year punished her children for not doing their chores by making them, and this is the quote she used, “sit in the hot car as…

Person who likes her pets and doesn’t them want to die. :(

You’re fucking kidding me?

I do get how people can do it (which was obviously not the case in this situation). When this happens, it’s not typically when they are taking a cross-country trip with their kids, it’s when they are going through the rote motions of their day. Have you ever gotten in your car to head to ____, but gotten halfway to a…

I’ve read all the reasons why people can legit forget their kids are in the car. Still don’t get it. I moved halfway across the country this summer and blasted across three states with hardly any stops (except overnight in a pet-friendly motel) because my two cats were with me. If I had to stop to rest/eat, I did it…

If the dad had just planted a taser on the kid’s body, he could have had a good enough self-defense claim to hang a jury.

An almost two year old can talk. I keep imagining that poor baby crying out for his dad to let him out of his car seat.

Good. Fuck this guy.

I wouldn’t think less of someone else if they hired a fully qualified, talented employee who is a recovering addict, even if that employee relapsed. Even if that employee’s relapse caused problems at work and the employee had to be let go. Giving a talented, good person who happens to have a history of addiction a…

We aren’t chopping our tree until tomorrow, but please enjoy my nutcrackers.

I’ve knitted this baby blanket so long that I kinda hate it.

I have a huge daybed/couch but my cat’s uncompromising desire to sit in the middle of it means I’m on the verge of falling off. Hold me, SNS.

Happy Saturday Social, all! After several months away, I’m slowly coming back to the Jez community. I’d love to hear what everyone has been up to!

Ho ho hooooooo, from my house to yours!

My sister switched medications this summer with basically no warnings from her psychiatrist about side effects, and I’ll just say the side effects were fucking disastrous on her and our family. Like with Kim’s hostage situation, I seriously do not care what anyone’s opinion is on these people- they’re human beings and…

Yeah, two people in my life with the education to DIY their prescriptions experienced complete disasters when they went ahead and changed their dosages. I’m all about empowering patients, but it’s just not something we can do - or should do - ourselves.

Drunk Cuba Gooding Jr. is more interesting than regular Cuba Gooding Jr.

Fucking around with mood-altering drugs (the legal kind) is a recipe for disaster that I’ve experienced myself... even when you do things by the book, it can lead to scary changes in personality. I don’t even want to think what happens when you quit cold turkey or suddenly ramp up your dosage on the more potent ones.

“Health officials have clarified that miscarriages and abortions that occur at home will not be subject to these new disposal requirements. Moreover, birth and death certificates will not be required.”

Sucks she wouldn’t do an interview. This probably didn’t help!
