When are you peons going to realize that the larger point is for poor people to stop having sex? Sex is to be reserved for wealthy people ONLY. Us poors will be relegated to low-paying jobs because "public education is a failure", so no edumacation for us, and no families either, as they keep us from working…

Ya know? Sometimes I feel sorta bad about being a single parent in my early 40's with no dating prospects on the horizon.

Not necessarily unpopular, it just depends on the guy in question.

Given a day's perspective,, I think what really got to me is the waste involved. There are people all over the world, struggling to make every penny count, and here she is wasting precious resources on nonsense.

I'll just leave this here:

I am sitting here at work, banging me head on my desk while trying to figure out how I am going to manage my rent, car note, and other bills, contemplating how to work a second job into my already crowded life, and this woman is sending $1.4M to some guy she's never met because he is saying nice things to her over the…

All I can recall hearing about this at the time it happened, was that while the Oscar campaigning was going on, she was dealing with some issue with her kids, and had just launched a talk show, and in reality, couldn't really do the whole campaign thing. Or at least that was my understanding at the time. If the…

Yes they are. They are early reader, rhyming books. My daughter loved them. Each one is it's own little story, and they are perfect for the transition from you reading to the child, to the child reading on his or her own.

Nothing to add to this particular shit show of a Governor, but that gif is absolutely perfect.

Never did the paper plate thing, but I always wondered how the girls got those perfectly high bangs, and the Mickey Mouse hair (parted down the middle with perfectly formed arches on either side.)

Ahhh...the Big Hair 80's. I had big hair in the 80's (Actually. I had a fairly huge drip, drip Jheri curl afro. A la Coming to America, horrible Soul Glo afro. I am glad there are no pictures that survive from that period. Or pillowcases.), you had big hair in the 80's, we all had big hair in the 80's. The…

Not really. You were dressed for a job interview, as you should have been. Once you get the job, THEN you can adapt to the environment.

I truly understand the need to be comfortable. But getting my millennial (22 year old) son to get dressed for ANYTHING that might require something other than jeans and sneakers has become a raging pain in the ass. I had to convince him that jeans and a t-shirt are not appropriate attire even when all you are doing…

Where is the picture of the half naked parent getting splashed by the even happier baby who just realized that the water jumps up when you hit it? Ahhh the great memories of when my kids were younger.

Mara Wilson just won Jezebel AND the internet! Well played, young lady! Very well played!

Thank you for this response! And I absolutely read every word! I hadn't really thought about possibly telling her teacher about it, but now that you mention it, it might not be a bad idea.

Yeah, I was thinking I should call my provider tomorrow night to see how she wanted to handle Monday. There is no rule book for this.

Today has just been a weird day. First I went and took a test for a promotion, which I think I did ok, but not spectacular. It was just gray and moody, especially for Southern California, and I kept getting the feeling that something wasn't right. That feeling was confirmed when I got a phone call from my daycare…

I don't doubt that with some people, sexual appetites and relational needs do evolve over time. I was also very sexually curious in my youth, which led to a great deal of promiscuity. I suppose I needed to do that exploration to satisfy my own curiosity, who knows. As I got older, I sought out more monogamous…
