Why is it that those who have never had children think they are qualified to provide child-rearing advice? I just went through an experience last weekend that ought to qualify me to give child-rearing advice; namely, comparing me to a certain mother I met meant I had more brains than she or any of her c

Ugh. Worst. Day. Ever. Today I had my first performance evaluation / coming-out-of-training / let-us-see-how-you’re-doing / YOU-SUCK evaluation. I actually don’t suck—not completely. But I have made a few mistakes, and those seemed to be the highlight of our rectangular-table discussion. Boss: Well, let me start by saying

My mom would never buy us Kool-Aid. She said it's bad for us. But I've made up for it by drinking alcohol. I know what you mean. My husband has this orange velour chair--the kind had by bachelors about 10 years before Queer Eye came around and fixed 7 men's lives. Anyway, the chair fits neatly into the little corner of our white living room with white bookcase and white-covered c

Yeah. I'm tempted to delete y'all's comments. I don't much care for partisan bickering--it doesn't matter if we're left or right, this is the way our government spends money. Your stupid soapboxes are pointless when they don't address the topic at hand. -A.

Woo hoo historyishere! However, at Boise State University, their turf is (or was, at least) blue. Let's hope that's not what this guy put down. And I guess I agree with whoman in that I think true football is played on grass in an outdoor stadium. For the record, though, I wouldn't want anything but real grass. Were he living next to me (and, okay, if I owned a home), it might hurt my resale value--but otherwise, big deal. But the gu

1 mic + 1 Bible = $40 million dollars in Politics JoeUser Forums

I dunno about the rest of y'all, but I'm pleased to see how fiscally conservative our government is. What with parades, fireworks, and other such hoopla, our President's inauguration is going to cost us $40 million American dollars. And apparently, according to the AP wire, that doesn't even cover the security for the event. (I doubt they tabulate and release

There's a ton of room for improvement, and we should make it better.

Reply to Washington State update: Election Scandal in Politics JoeUser Forums

As someone who lives in Washington state, I find it funny that everyone else is so much more concerned about this than the residents. Few of us outside of the capital even discuss it. For my part, I just see it as partisan bickering, and I know that the party with the most money will win. Recounts have to be bought--legally, of course. -A.

Why would you do that to yourself, Raven? Why abuse yourself by disallowing something so pure and beautiful in your body? I don't understand. It's all very sad and confusing to see someone take a road in the wrong direction. My friend, coffee is a gift! Seize it and be proud! -A.
