That brings back memories of my first solo apartment, and my first intruder scare. I grabbed a bat, ran into the kitchen screaming like a banshee, and terrorized my poor ccat, who was already freaked out by the Campbell's tomato soup can stuck on his head. He had an orange tinge for about a week after that. Read more

People don't see how flawed it is here. The head of our DCFS was allowed to resign last summer after it was revealed he funneled at least $13 million in contracts to his mentor, a man who falsely claimed to be a doctor, who controlled the meds given to kids. Our governor let him go quietly and the papers exposed it.… Read more
Hey, how is it going for you? We are crazy here and it seems to never stop. Thanks to my husband's kids by his first marriage, I am now a grandma to the chubbiest and happiest kid ever. Read more
When we went to the pound to look for a German Shepherd, their dogs were too aggressive for our kids. We asked for a calm dog and were shown a solid black Lab/shepherd who was docile and loving. When they told us she was dumped with her litter, and all the others had been adopted, there was no way we were leaving… Read more
I adopted slightly older kids, and we kept their ethnic birth names. We added a second name to my son's one syllable name, and he goes by either name, depending on how he introduces himself. My daughter was almost four, and her nurse had given her a nickname. She did not recognize her legal name. So we changed her… Read more
Please don't glare at my family. I tried for four years to adopt domestically. My state is horrifically corrupt and I could not get a placement, so I went overseas. My son would not be adopted in his birth country because he has a facial defect. My daughter's birth country does not adopt abandoned babies because they… Read more
That is the best public proposal ever. They win. The trend should stop now because they cannot be topped, although a can-can line of dancing Justices would have been a nice touch. Read more
I have two adopted Asian children. We openly discuss the differences in our hair, skin tone, and other fun anomalies. But we don't mimic each other's differences. Talking and comparing is inclusive, but dressing in a Geisha wig and slanting the eyes is "othering." I would be angry if someone mocked my son's almond… Read more
"Simply baloney" does not sound emphatic enough. What about "bacon breaded butter fried baloney?" That sounds more like the Deens. Read more
After our German Shepherd was retired from breeding, she would borrow kittens. She was senile and sometimes lost them, so we would be traipsing all over the farm with flashlights trying to find the kittens while the mama cat howled in confusion. The smart mama cats finally learned to just have their litters in the… Read more
I was just thinking that I have seen that same cat face for years. She is trying to remember why she always falls for the no-good Tom, who promises to be around and always disappears. Maybe her adopted son will set Tom straight. Read more
Good leak, Kris. Cue the tabloid covers for "Kim's Wedding Slim Down Diet." I hope Kanye's bf designs her dress. I've never seen a grommitted wedding dress. Read more
He's not fat—just fluffy. And at one point he looked like Jiffy Pop popcorn. Read more
Great. We have Relay for Life this weekend, and we don't need more crazy drama. Our team leader had a breakdown last year around 4:00 am, and is ramping up for another. I plan to be running around the track so fast, the drama won't be able to get me. Read more
Tears of pain, for all she lost in the war. Read more
Her teeth! They glow like that time Ross used too much whitener and his teeth glowed. I will not comment about the episode when he was too stupid to figure out spray tanning. Read more
This is where my mechanic brother comes in handy, even several hundred miles away He can tell me when a suggested upgrade is unrelated to the problem that I am having. He once had a mechanic fax him my car's diagnostics, then told me that they were lying about what was wrong. I drove my car to another mechanic, who… Read more
