No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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

So, it's official. No funding for my position past June 30th. He's going to try and get more, but there's no guarantee. Cost savings mode and all that.

Damn! I'm so sorry.

Now tagless for your comfort.

After a week on the tube in London, I found myself rushing around, dodging tourists and getting testy for people who stopped in the middle of the halls.

I think once you getting acclimated to the unspoken rules of pulic transport just takes a bit of time. And a few shoulder check.

Adding to my list of things that make me a crappy person, the sound of a child whining or crying sets my teeth on edge, unless the child belongs to me in some way. Like, Noah or my niece or someone like that crying has no affect other than nurturing said child.

Stranger kids? I have to get as far away from the crying as possible.

Doesn't make you a crappy person. I find myself wanting to get as far away from my OWN whiny kids as possible on occasion.

Getting Owen ready for school today was a battle royale. Over pants. He didn't want to wear the jeans I gave him but he woulldn't pick out an alternate pair. He just stood there and screamed "NOOOO!" in my face for about five minutes. He finally relented and picked out a pair of soft cordoroys he likes but sheesh. I couldn't figure out where the communication breakdown was occurring.

Then I had to drag Liv out of the school kicking and screaming at drop off because she wants to stay and play with the big kids.

I would pay someone $5K to come here for a few months and civilize my kids since I'm obviously doing such a shitty job at it.

If you don't mind my using a cattle prod, I'm in.

Aimee won't let me use one on Emeline. Though I think she'd be pleasantly surprised at its effectiveness.
