YAY!
Kat, you get in free, due to the whole giving birth thing. I don't know any other localista moms, though. But I assume one can adopt a small child from some other mom for the weekend for the free admission.
Crap, I forget Burrell is a momista.
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

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

My 3pm interview just called to say she thinks she'll be about 5 minutes late. Good that she called, or bad that she's late?
Both! It would have been worse if she had been late and didn't call. Yet, bad that she's late.

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
Did any of you hear NPR's story about the biological superiority of early motherhood and the nascence of stay-at-home moms? For obvious reasons it touched a nerve with me.
I knew I shouldn't have read that. But I did and agree with you Kat.

At least you didn't listen to it, GC. That (and being very very late for work and stuck in traffic on Sherman Way) set me off. The Science Daily piece is a nice antidote!

The status is NOT quo.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty
Of course, I get pissed when someone takes too long in the bathroom, so what do I know.
Dude. Seriously. If I had to share a bathroom, the seething would turn to loathing would turn to ulcers would turn to aneurysms and eventually end in bloodshed or at very least me holding someone's head in a dirty toilet and shrieking about stewing them in their own filth while the rest of the building calls 911.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What's her reason for being late? As long as it's not stupid, I say it's good that she called. Shit happens.
She didn't give a reason on the phone, so I'm going to assume it was just shit happens, which I do understand. Although, when I interviewed here, I spent like a half-hour sitting on a bench outside because I was so early!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But what I think she's trying to do there is put fear in the minds of Democrats everywhere that if you put a black man up there the working class whites are going to fuck you. It's not race baiting, exactly
No, I'd call it exactly race-baiting.
Yeah, okay. Instead of hinting at the scary black people, she's hinting at the scary racist plebes, and really, what the fuck? The more I mull it over the less I'm inclined to cut her slack.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I heard it while getting ready and found it difficult to put on makeup when my eyes have rolled out of my head and under the bed.
