I was gonna say "The objective of this course is..." but I think Gud wins.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Also, Gud, I LOVE your version. I'm not sure the College Board would find it so funny.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't know, I'm all about joking about selling the baby to the Gypsies.
Signed,
Loves my daughter to pieces (seriously, is she not the most beautiful little boo EVER?) but spent much of last night rabbit-punching the couch to keep from running off screaming into the night

Selling to the gypsies is a much better plan because then you get cash back on your investment.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Two things I tell the college seniors in this group I am a part of is to seriously think about and work at meeting mates in college and to not dismiss having children early. Most of them give me the fisheye, but those are still two of my core pieces of advice.
Yeah, but, if I'd married my college boyfriend (and we came close) we would have been miserable. Would I have kids now? Maybe, but what would the cost have been?
I did get married early, but it really wasn't in the plan. My mother got married college age and had to partly derail her career path for me and my dad.
She had to leave to take me to Dr.'s appointments, or couldn't come in because I was sick, or I had a school thing. Whatever. And when she and my dad divorced things got even worse for her.
Once I reached driving age, she went back to school, got her MBA now she pretty much runs the city's systems.
I wonder if things wouldn't have been different for her (and by extension me) if she hadn't waited to get married until she and dad had been in the real world for a while and waited to have me until she was firmly on a career path and had been married to dad for longer.
Which is to say, sometimes it seems like those stories like the NPR one this morning are designed to keep women paranoid that they must follow the path similar to our mothers' or end up childless and alone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
The poodle was called Trouble, apprently, but we are probably changing his name to Truman. We'll have to see how "Truman-y" he is. He has been outside his whole life, so they don't even know if he's housebroken (although they think he might be).

OMG, if I didn't know people who spout that BS like gospel, I would say that review had to be a joke!
What? You're joking. People actually believe that? Joking about tossing the baby out the window or selling it to the Gypsies is TOTALLY normal. And expected.
