Can't she just dump ice water on the guy with ALS or something. I read about that a few weeks ago on the internet.

Not to mention that I get the vibe that if this woman did eventually work outside the home, he'd say that he couldn't "really" see himself being with a "career woman". Go on and just do you, lady, and find the emotional support you need even if you have to pay for it. You'll be OK!

@peasandrice - Everyone was in a hat from the start: tiny jaunty ones, seussy ones, giant fascinators, flat caps, witches' hats.

I've shared this story before, but I was an usher(-ette, as my friend and I called ourselves) in a wedding that had the craziest "after party". My roommate from college and her now husband had a beautiful wedding and reception in his hometown. It was about an hour away from where she grew up, though, so most of her…

Hat-Themed wedding.

My uterus hurts from that story. This won't win the prize but I'm sharing anyway.

So my friend gets engaged. She is amazing— sweet, smart as hell, filthy sense of humor, eyes like luminous pools. She is mixed race and her fiance's family is super country. At the rehearsal dinner, they make lots of comments about her mixed race and stick the microphone in her face with questions like "Tell us why…

The 5 day wedding "weekend" in which the bride handed me a grocery sack and ordered me to collect 250 perfectly shaped river rocks.

Missed the show last night and I can't play the clip at work so apologies if the Daily Show beat me to this factoid, but something I always like to bring up is that this isn't the first time the Redskins have drawn a line in the sand to try and defend indefensible racism.

Hey, I come from a long line of walking, talking, giant bag of dicks. We didn't come to this country to be compared to Dan Snyder.

"Wizards" is the dumbest name ever, it's very sad.

Not just white, I genuinely think we all hold unexamined racist beliefs by the simple fact that we live in a racist society. It's important to realize it and try to get better instead of flipping the fuck out every time someone calls you a racist.

Amen. I was raised by liberal, open-minded people but even in the last 25 years elements of our culture and society train you to think a certain way. It would be ignorant and delusional for me to say I've never done or thought anything racist. The key is to acknowledge it, learn from it, and do better. Hopefully in a…

White people are so afraid of being called racist that they can't take a step back, look at their own assumptions, exercise some self awareness and say to themselves, "Yes, I am also kind of a racist, because I live in a society that, until less than 50 years ago, was trying to make white supremacy work, and my…

Funny how all the distant NA relatives all happen to be Cherokee.... It's almost as thought that's the only tribe they've ever heard of!

Exactly, this is what I'm saying. They're just trying to have their voices be heard. SOMEONE needs to stand up for the status quo!

Plus all of them are 1/12th cherokee. Ergo not racist.

I try not to laugh at my kids when they have arguments. It's not because I stage them (no one who deals with kids EVER wants to stage a toddler fight) it's because they are ever so serious when they fight about nonsense. You can't moderate a kids' argument unless it gets violent.

"NO, you're pretty, and you're not real. I'M REAL."

What the heck! I actually teared up a little when he said, "You poked my heart." When did I become such a softie? Yeesh. Being a dad sure makes the emotions come to the surface a lot more. Also, I'm weird.
