This article about marraige has been making the rounds lately.

"Dan and Derek! You guys are my second favorite pair of double D's!"
"ok"
...
"my wife has double d's."
...
"ok, see you guys later."

They guy has a wife with super big titties. He's justifiably proud.

I wonder how long he was practicing that and how he had visualized that working out.

high fives all around. So glad your wife has rockin' breasts dude.

Someone on my neighborhood mailing list sent us this, advertising his product. I can't believe that something that looks like this was made in 2013.

My BF was upset that her FB is full of people sharing posts telling mothers to get off their smart phones.  My FB contains none of that, so I'm glad my friends aren't holier-than-thou assholes.  Also I've always found it interesting that my BF and I have basically no friends in common and that her friends are apparently those kind of people.  I've been to parties she hosts and there are a few good people and a bunch of those kind of people.  What is up with that?  She is far more up for social niceties and suffering fools I guess.

Is this the woman I thought you dropped from your life because she's selgiraffe and was being as ass while you were pregnant?

An interesting one I saw the other day was "I am quite sure I wouldn't be alive if I'd talked to my parents the way some kids talk to their parents these days. Share if you agree!"

That seems to be not-so-subtly advocating corporal punishment for unruly children. But if I smacked my kid in public, no matter what the offense, the same people on Facebook would be saying what a bad parent I am and that my kids should be taken away from me (especially if there was a video to go with it).

[pmcd9]

why?

[theinevitable]

"I am quite sure I wouldn't be alive if I'd talked to my parents the way some kids talk to their parents these days. Share if you agree!"

At one point my sister screamed at my parents extensively about how much she hated them on a fairly regular basis. My mom was really upset and couldn't believe a teenager would do that. She called her mom, who said "LOL, you don't remember doing that?"

This is completely unreasonable and hypocritical, but when people talk about wanting parents to beat their children, I fantasize about going at that person with a baseball bat. Or a can of tomatoes, if I'm at work (which is where this usually happens).

This falls under the prevailing belief that every subsequent generation is dumber, lazier, ruder, and generally worse human beings than the previous generation. We know this is true because as we look backward in time we see how people get smarter, more efficient, more peaceful, and treat other better with each preceding generation, right?

This comic strip seems somewhat relevant here.

Yeah, that's her.  Things have gotten better, but she's got her issues.  We laugh more and she's supportive now that the baby's here, but we're both very compartmentalized as friends and always have been - she's not a part of any other part of my life and vice versa, our husbands are basically strangers to each other, and the company we keep is quite different.  We had an odd disagreement where she responded condescendingly when I said I wasn't going to be showing our baby TV, something along the lines of "we'll see about that."  Afterword she said she wanted to give me her Baby Einstien DVD's -- as if she hasn't heard me -- and I had to say no twice.  Even still, she said she'd keep them for me, which I sort of laughed off, making clear that she should give them to someone else.  It's not only her - I've encountered more than one women who makes the mistake of assuming that when I make a parenting choice conflicting to their own that it is somehow a slight to them or a negative judgement on them.  It's one of the things I've decided to basically ignore in other moms because what it boils down to is poor self esteem on the other person's part, and that's their shit to deal with.

The older I get, the more I think that any generalization about any group of people is invalid.  I think it's a basic human right to be judged as an individual and based on our actions rather than any inborn characteristics.

Or, you know, whatever.
