    We have a debt deal

    Meh, I knew they'd get something passed at the 'last minute.' I was seriously skeptical that this was the emergency that they had made it out to be. Now they all get to play heroes who got something done just in the nick of time. Bravo....yawn. The only thing that surprised me is that they did...

    Are You Like A "Crazy Asian Parent"?

    My mother often notes the differences between her kids. She's made me very aware that the relationship between each kid and his/her parents is unique, and what works for one kid won't always work for the next kid. I think this is why she's such a good teacher.

    Are You Like A "Crazy Asian Parent"?

    Probably very true in some families, though I have at least one counter-example of a boy with a mom who is so on top of him that it's scary.

    Are You Like A "Crazy Asian Parent"?

    It's an acrylic ball I use for contact juggling. I'm getting much better at balancing stuff on my head, but balls are still hard.

    Are You Like A "Crazy Asian Parent"?

    The tutoring company I currently work for (for two more weeks, anyway) attracts a very large percentage of Asian students, mostly Korean (it helps that the director is Korean, making communication much easier for immigrant parents). The kids joke a lot about how strict their parents are, but...

    Why does it seem everyone is hiding from fun????

    I don't like alcohol, so my idea of fun isn't going out to drink. That's why I'm not there.

    Should parent's lose custody of their obese kids?

    My mom got a bit depressed by reading about this issue. I was fat by the time I was 7, and I've never been thin. (Before that, I was still always at the top of the charts, but that's when they sent me to the nutritionist who suggested that Mom "only take me to McDonald's once a week," which...

    AMA Journal: Foster Care for Selected Obese Children

    The problem is that most of the world automatically assumes there is no distinction: Obese is definitively unhealthy.

    Fat Jokes

    Totally depends on the joke. I've told a few myself, but I don't mind being the butt of a joke now and then. (Laughter is good for the soul.) Gentle teasing is all in fun, too, but mean-spirited stuff makes me angry.

    Met a cute, hot SSBBW who is absolutely amazing

    Um, ask her out and ignore the dinks. Also remember that she is a person first and foremost, and treat her with the respect that you would like to be treated with.

    Lesbian feminist gender professor fears "all or nothing" State-enforced marriage.

    Wild question: Why -should- spousal benefits be available to non-spouses? The original purpose of such benefits was so that one parent could work while the other cared for children at home. The benefits were there to provide for a spouse who had a legitimate reason to not be in the workforce...

    Taking Marriage Private

    It seems to me that taking marriage private is really the only way to protect the religious expression of those for whom marriage is a sacred rite within their faiths.

    Terry Pratchett begins formal process to end his life

    I want to give you a hug for doing so much to care for your mother. Believe it or not, I've watched both my grandmothers going through things like you are describing, and no, it's not pretty. It's not 100% analogous to my personal experience, either--but I know I was in enough pain that death...

    Terry Pratchett begins formal process to end his life

    I've been a fan of Sir Terry's since I was 14 or so. The books are, in my mind, amazing works of literature, and sometimes I'm hesitant to read a new book of his just in case it might be the last and there would be nothing new of his to savor afterwards--I dread, dread, dread the day that his...

    Last statement sent to Sentinel from self-immolation victim

    To be fair, I've made my own lip bleed on accident plenty of times. It's possible that he didn't slap her very hard, but just happened to get an angle that caught her lip on a tooth. Which, unless you're completely horrified by corporal punishment of any sort, might not be that bad. Or he was...

    Germany has too many houswives warns EU

    A lot of the jobs created by women working are in childcare, though; it's just a transferrence of labor with a trade of money involved. And a huge part of a woman's income will wind up going towards childcare if she works. Having worked in daycare, I'm really disinclined to ever put my...

    Too Fat to Fly

    On the bottom half, 4-5x, though I can get by with a 3x on the top half, go fig. And have yourself a GREAT vacation!

    The media's creepy Palin obsession

    Palin is pretty, says outrageous things, has outrageous followers, and, at least for the more left-leaning, it's entertaining to mock her as an example of the right. The press does have a profit motive, so when they don't have something legitimate that will sell, they look for something that...

    No fat camp counselors allowed!

    The idea that anyone who dares to be fat should be isolated and not allowed to associate with others...especially young people...that's a scary, scary notion. It won't change the obesity epidemic (if you buy his logic, then it should have never happened, because most people were thinner and...

    Too Fat to Fly

    *hug* You should be fine. I'm a hundred pounds more than you are, and I've never been humiliated on a plane (and while I'm not a frequent flier, I've done my share over the years). Since you're flying with your adorable fella, you can even put up the armrest between you and snuggle a bit for...
