If you marry right out of high school and start having kids right away, you'll have a school-age child by the time you're 25.
Not unusual where I grew up.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Who is the minor celeb on the IE video?
I believe it was Rich Sommer from Mad Men, apparently just randomly in GCT. (If I'm wrong, I'll be embarassed!)
It was, though I have no doubt that he was in on the stunt, even if he was supposed to appear as random.

Well, I think the "too young to have a 4-year-old" thing was a combination of the fact that, gray hairs notwithstanding, I can pass for 5-10 years younger than my actual age, and that I can't think of anyone I know in Seattle who had their first kid before their late 20's. So, if you look at me and think 28 or 29 instead of 37 (and I'm fine with that!), I would be young for a college-educated Seattle woman to have a kid who's older than a baby.

The thing that I just can't wrap my brain around is why people still join. There's the crazy tom cruise shit and the xenu and the clams. Scientology is a laughing stock, isn't it?
Well, yeah, just like intelligent design and spoon-bending and effortless weight-loss and Ponzi schemes. Poor Allyson, you keep expecting people to be rational. Which is a good demonstration of how irrational people are!
I'm more interested in the way Anon groups are forming and sharing tactics and issuing statements and getting permits. It's sort of inspirational. And also sort of scary.

That sounds fun, if not a little cold.
Well, I think my riding buddy may be pussying out. SO I may just be doing a spin class tomorrow instead.
And your plans are totally grown up! In that, responsible for other human lives way.

Shrift, Brenda, are we doing the dinner thing? Where?

Sure! As for where? Um, I have no brain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It was, though I have no doubt that he was in on the stunt, even if he was supposed to appear as random.
I kind of figured that as I was typing, hence "apparently."
I really want to be done working for the week.

But at this precise moment in time, not in the fun way.
K just met Grace at the hospital because she had a follow up opthomology appt. She texted me the cutest picture of Grace in a car seat. Poor love. Too bad my bluetooth is being a pain and I can't get the pic into my computer.
Grrr. thwarted by technology.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
If the Anon groups can stop them from putting flyers on my car, I'll gladly send a check...made out to Anonymous. How does that work?
