Civil Service IT drone here. We make you sign a piece of paper they day you start work, and at every promotion, and every time you change departments, that states clearly that this PC is to be used for work related purposes ONLY, and that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.

I wouldn’t know. I was 11 in 1982, and to the best of my knowledge, we weren’t really beyond the whispering about it in the bathroom stage yet.

My daughter just started 6th grade yesterday. Believe me when I say, that having the talk about boys and sex was MANDATORY, especially after they were shown the puberty film last year, in the 5th grade. You wouldn’t believe the kind of taunts she was getting from other girls towards the end of last year, talking about…

Although this is an outtake, this is Carol Burnett (or really Tim Conway and Vickie Lawrence) for the ages:

Fair enough, but I think that’s where those with the money actually want it to go.

Good gracious. Is hipster gentrification ruining everywhere even remotely interesting or colorful?

I was curious, too:

I am so embarrassed. I almost jumped out of my seat at work listening to his. Some voices just do that to you. I will be RUNNING to the theater to see this.

What saddens me the most is that the people that NEED to read this article will never see it. These are the same Bill Cosby/NWA apologists that shout down any criticism of a successful Black man.

I am suitably ashamed of my 43-year old self. I still don’t like gyms though. Once I move again, I will shuffle myself back to Planet Fitness because it’s cheap and people leave me alone.

Mostly her preference. She is not a fan of the process, but she likes the results, as she looks more like all thee other girls. Plus taking those things out is tedium to the nth power.

My daughter has 4c hair. She is also tender-headed. Even with all of the flinching and screaming bloody murder, I tried as hard as I could to keep her hair natural. I gave it up the year she turned 8. I couldn’t do it anymore, and to this day, she still can’t stand to have anyone touching her hair, but at least it’s…

I am happy that these boys are being encouraged to read while getting cute for back to school. The world needs more Mr. Holmes’ in it.

So rather than travel to Eastern Eurpoe on Uz Air, I can either stay my fat ass at home, or travel in by bus or train then?

Tara Jacoby wins all things!

Gah! Now that my son has left home, I actually have to take my daughter to the mall, AND stay there with her. Geez Louise, am I ready to be outta there by the 30 minute mark.

I get what your saying. Truly. Behavior is everything, and I see it around me all the time.
