Thanks for this! Luckily I’ve never been to any “bad” zoos. I did personally vow never to go to a circus or sea world years ago, even before all the Blackfish thing. The last time I had gone to Sea World it was the most depressing thing and I couldn’t even enjoy myself. Same with the circus. Even my daughter noticed…

Unless you're being George Constanza I bet you're awesome!

Yes this is true for both sexes. As much as I hated when guys did the disappearing act on me or sent me confused signals, I would do the exact same thing to them. I remember I was dating an handsome older guy. He was great on paper but I just wasn’t that attracted to him. After he left me a nice letter (this was the…

It’s a stupid arbitrary number and I think it came from the stupid “The Rules” book. It may have possibly been around before then but who knows. I broke all the “rules” with my now husband because he was supposed to be a one night stand and here we are together 12 years later. I think we were just both at the same…

Omg that's what I was thinking! Is that Leslie Mann haha?

I just tell my single friends that if someone likes you, they like you. No game playing, no waiting 3 days to call. Yes I'm smug married but I dated enough shitty guys to know. It really goes both ways.

The store in SF is only through sometime in September though isn’t it? Edited to add: oh yeah duh it's in the article lol

I always track down their shoes by looking at the brand in the pics because you can never by the ridiculous names. Half the time you can find them 1/3 of the price on websites like http://www.makemechic.com.

I don’t either. The kids are the ones who have to help mom and dad do anything. Or the kids use their phones. Everyone is too scared to upgrade and if you bring a computer home the majority of the public uses the Internet as is.

I guarantee you THOSE kinds of parents are already monitoring their kids internet usage.

My oldest daughter was really into anime when she was in 4th grade and I had the safe browsing for her and she would still come across some hentai shit. I forbade her to delete her history though and she knew I would look. You have to be on top of their shit. I don’t care if that’s old fashioned. I’m a cool mom but…

Yeah that shit’s been around forever! It’s on the older versions of windows too but you have to activate I guess. Also I did some scary things when I was a teen in the 90’s on AOL. Met guys in person that I met from online. I’m glad I never got murdered.

My parents are Jehovah’s Witnesses so growing up was completely mortifying. Combine that with a mom who wanted to pick my clothes well into my teens and was very thrifty and an overprotective Mexican dad and you have a recipe for disaster. I remember one time we were on vacation in Mexico and I was outside in the dark…

This list is like most 20 year olds Instagrams in print.

Or if they don't they usually sell a fully loaded computer for way cheaper then a big box store. Also best buy has a student discount with an edu email and so does Apple!

6 is not a baby. I expect this from a 3 year old, not a kinder/1st grader. If my kid this to you I would be so embarrassed! (She wouldn't)

Thanks for the info! We’re really want to stay near Japantown and were surprised at how low the rate is to begin with. It’s probably because it’s August though. I need to book ASAP. are you in the Bay Area? Would you recommend any hotels? We have never taken our kids and had a bad experience at a B&B the first time we…

Lucky! We get pretty good discounts but it just really depends. This coming weekend we’re staying at a resort in San Antonio that normally goes for $300 for $115. I think it's because SF is super expensive.

Question because I’m hauling my entire family (ok just the hubs and 2 kids) to SF over Christmas: My husband works for the govt and we usually get a pretty decent discount but do you think if I called directly we could get a better discount? I'm looking at a small California chain and their federal discount is like…

And we have to wait till September. I've been a fan since the beginning and looooove them so much!
