The best way to protect your daughter is to guide her, but trust her, allow her to make her own choices and her own mistakes, and to always be supportive no matter what. That's it.

The very first time a boy picked me up for a date (I was 16, I think), my father, older brother, and my older brother's best friend answered the door. Together. They were all very nice and asked my date things about himself and offered him a soda, etc. But my date ended up being way more nervous about curfew than I…

Red state liberals unite! :)

Thank you! We've found everyone here to be very welcoming and friendly so far, but I definitely feel like there's something about us that they just don't "get". So, I hope I can act as an educator, as you alluded to. :)

My husband and I are hosting our first seder after moving to the Bible Belt and away from our families. It will be a very bittersweet Pesach for us, but I will happily eat a Hillel sandwich in your honor! Sorry you have to miss your favorite holiday. :( It's mine, too.

Da'www! That doggy feels the same way about head scratchers that I do! Thanks.

My husband and I recently moved from the east coast to the Midwest. We are both Jewish and living in the Bible Belt headed into Passover makes me miss home quite a bit. Now, with the news of the tragedy in OP, Kansas, I'm feeling extremely emotional.

At my school it was relatively common for Greek men to ask individual Greek women to assist them in certain hazing rituals - there were scavenger hunts, for example, and girls would be stationed to give clues, make them drink, embarrass them, etc.

I am only slightly embarrassed by the amount of money I would pay to watch Hannity and the rest of those morons attempt a dizzy bat challenge.

Hark!

This makes total sense to me, because I remember when my prom date did his "promposal," we were sitting in the Student Center and he went, "Hey, do you want to go to prom with me?" And I said, "Sure." And that alone must have cost him a cool grand.

Complaint #2 should really have just said: "Neither myself or my children understand the true meaning/purpose of Christmas or Easter and I am encouraging selfish behavior by blaming Disney."

I don't think that the other woman is necessarily "innocent" in this situation, but what on earth is the just cause for firing her if he isn't going to resign!?

I really don't think I would have been upset had any of my bridesmaids told me they couldn't or didn't want to participate. What would have upset me, though, is if any of them had declined and then gone on a diatribe about how bridesmaids are antiquated and shouldn't exist (and essentially critiquing my life choices…

"If you're going to give favors, give food"... or a charitable donation. It's a good thing to do and no one in their right mind would complain that someone made a donation to a cause rather than giving them a matchbook with the couple's name on it.

A lot of the problematic items, too, are things said by the person, but while they were "in character". Like, with Colbert, if he said it on the show, he was in character - and his character is supposed to be an irredeemable asshole. Ditto with some of the items about Amy Poehler when she was on SNL.

Well not everyone gets WaWas, but thanks for rubbing it in.

I'll give it a look. I imagine this tumblr is going to break my heart into a million pieces.

Oh! That makes more sense, if that's the case.
