The other day I got a hand gun to protect my kids, you know? And I’m really happy because it is SO important for them to be safe.

I don't know why VC Andrews books were marketed to teens. Or even published.

When I first got sick, I asked for a flexible work schedule so that I could do infusions on Fridays and recover Saturdays and Sundays. “Somehow” this was presented to HR as a childcare related request. By “somehow”, I mean I made the request without the requisite penis.

“I enjoy the benefits of feminism, but refuse to recognize how I would have achieved nothing without it!”

Tangent: My spouse is a physician assistant. She follows this instagram account that depicts medical emergencies (without identifying patients). She showed me this video of a 12 week fetus.

I mean, it sounds unfair and all that, but this woman is paying less than $1,100 per month for a 2 BEDROOM APARTMENT in MANHATTAN. My apologies if her cries of “boohoo no dishwasher” don’t evoke tears of sympathy. I get that it’s the principle behind the poor doors, but come on, did these folks really expect the “same…

Are Doormen just a NYC thing? They sound like a luxury.

Maybe not but it’s not like the aren’t options. A floor lamp with a bright bulb and transparent shade for instance.

I’m going to suggest that an executive who doesn’t figure out a way for his/her executive assistant to take a break is a dreadful boss (and person). At my old office, they had someone from the mailroom sit at reception and answer phones so the regular gal could get a break.

Came to comments to say this. Third type: those of us who work straight through so we can get home at a reasonable hour and see the kids before bedtime.

1)If you get concerned about something presented by a single person on a reality show and don’t do any of your own research or have a conversation with your own MD, you’re an idiot.

I believe Avery got a shit trial, but I don’t think he’s innocent. (I do think Brendan is, however) I just really can’t wrap my head around the thought that the police department would murder someone, burn them, and then bring all that to his property to frame him. Police are super shitty, but are they really *that*…

According to Anna, she and her parents found out before they got married. Which makes it even more twisted that she would still marry and have kids with that monster.

2 Full 2 Furious.

I’m not a doctor, but the last clear opportunity is probably before third base, but without ruining second base (assuming no skin-to-skin erogenous-zone contact there), at least based on existing sex-metaphor guidelines. We’ll call it the Shortstop Disclosure Mandate.
