Damn. I really really want to help. But I guess there is absolutely nothing I can do. Which is probably the same frustration you and your mother are undergoing only a billion fold. I send you my love cause I guess that is all I can do.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
According to the Road Runner Sports website (in a popup, so I can't link), Stability shoes are for average arch, Neutral shoes are for high arch, and Motion Control are for low arch.
I overpronate horribly and have extra-flexible ankles (I've had a few times when I've stumbled over something and my foot ended up bent far enough that the inside of my ankle scraped the ground), so I always need to buy the shoes at the far end of the motion-control line.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Susan, if you want a scholarly (yet accessible) defense -- indeed, hagiography -- of Andrew Jackson, check out Arthur Schlesinger's The Age of Jackson, which should be available at your favorite source for used books at the very least. Much of his argument -- "he destroyed the Second Bank, which was getting too big for its britches under that megalomaniac Nicholas Biddle."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dear me. I want to photobomb.
And nap.
I have snuck into a conference call. I just want to listen. I don't want to admit to anyone that I'm here.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Photobomb is hysterical! I wonder if any had been photoshopped.

My faves are the ones with a look of horror directed at the photo subjects.

Did anyone else read the NYT article yesterday about the utility of intelligence? The smarter fruit flies had a shorter life? There's an interesting op ed piece about Cost of Smarts.
