Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Now tagless for your comfort.
why is it wrong to clean with vinegar? It might be a bit smelly, but it disipates pretty quickly, kills germs ,, and doesn't set off allergic reactions.
Ha! DH just asked me why we go through so much vinegar. (I brought a half gallon bottle home from the store.) I explained that that is what I clean with. I stock up on vinegar, baking soda and hydrogen peroxide because they take care of most of the messes the kids make.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Possibly. They could hire ninjas. Perhaps they already have. I should do a sweep of the attic.
I want to turn this into a children's book: "Are You My Mother's Ninjas?" (Hint: if you have time to ask, these are not the ninjas you're looking for.)

60 Minutes just spent a lot of time showing just what was going on with the vaccine and why people should be vaccinated. They then undercut their credibility as a source with the next segment, in which Leslie Stahl was completely astonished by the existence of BitTorrent.

“Not dead yet!”
A local law firm has begun running television ads that have kind of left me with my jaw hanging down. Their shtick is that they're a men only firm, that practices exclusively family law and represent only men. They do have a token female paralegal, but that's it.
I'm kind of boggled, really. The commercials seem so... belligerent.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There are some men who believe that family law is biased against men. That women are awarded custody far more often than men. I've hard that send part might be true, but only because men are far less likely to ask for/contest custody than women.
eta: The "men's rights" movement is largely focused on family law.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That is a tricky area. Seeing things like the commercials Barb mentioned just make me want to roll my eyes and start muttering about male privilege. On the other hand, there is/was something called the "tender years doctrine", which is the presumption under the law that generally young children are better off with their mothers, so the burden was on the father to show otherwise. It's not nearly as in favor as it used to be, but I would be willing to bet that it still plays a part in a lot of custody decisions, and that just doesn't seem right either.
