As you should -- that's a great review!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

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

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I killed the thread with hubris!Nah, that's a great review to get all chuffed about. Plus, she's specifically pimping it to libraries, which should all but guarantee you a nice little handful of sales.
I was in self-imposed exile for a bit, writing thank-you notes for job interviews, which I utterly fucking hate to do. Hate. HATE.

so, I'm in a bar, waiting for my happy hour partner, when I notice a couple with a baby. I don't know how to feel about it. At least its non smoking. And I snagged a table and two guys keep looking over at the empty chair.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I totally dropped my dinner on the floor (and the stove, and my clothes) before I got a chance to eat it. Awesome. Luckily, it was quick, and I had more of all the parts.
BUT STILL.

When they first made the bars here non-smoking, it felt like every time I went to a bar, there was a baby and/or little kid, and it was starting to make me nuts, but it seems to have chilled out. I'm not saying parents can't get a drink after work, but just because the baby is asleep doesn't mean it should be in a bar at 9pm!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm bored. I should have made plans with someone this afternoon, but I didn't, so I don't have anything to do tonight. I could go to services, but it's already starting to get dark, so by the time I got dressed and got there, the services would be halfway over. (Which is actually when plenty of people arrive, but I don't like coming in late, especially at this synagogue, where coming in late generally means not getting a chair.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm sitting at home with the kids while my husband sits in the bar. Is it any wonder why it's taken him 2 hours to figure out I couldn't find a babysitter?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I wish you could bring small children into bars here. The fact that you can't meant DH and I have had to all but give up our favorite cheap-but-good sit-down eateries (74th St and Hilltop Ale Houses).
