Why can't moms be nice? Why do we spend all this energy teaching girls to be nice, so they can grow up and be mean, clique-ish women? Here's the thing that kills me..they push away other moms, and then get upset when other moms don't respond when called upon. Amen. But, sorry your local fellow mothers are so mean and judgey. If it's any consolation -- although I'm certain it's not -- mean moms are everywhere. :-(

When I say I'm willing to make something happen. Let me do it. Don't push me away by telling me that my idea is awesome and you'd be more than happy to take over. Because connecting with my kid is not any less important than you connecting with your kid. I know it's everywhere. The force is strong with DD1's class. We'll see how it is with the peanut's class. DS's class is so different. I think it's because the parents are older and wiser.

Should I bother auditioning for the play tonight? The virtual magic 8 ball keeps saying I won't get a part.

Why is bindweed such a miserable excuse for a plant? I swear 1/3 of my backyard is bindweed.

I thought I had a good chance at one role. We'll see. Supposed to be about 26, but doesn't matter too much. The younger girls kinda sucked, except for one of them, who should get a bigger part. The middle age parts had more middle-age-looking auditionees than me. They were better too. I only really "got" the crazier parts, whatever that might say about me. ;-)
ETA: Ah, didn't get the part. Virtual magic 8 ball had changed it's tune these last 2 days, and said "it is certain". Bummer. Oh well, I guess I'm not consulting the Magic 8 ball anymore! 0 for 2

I need someone to explain this to me. DH has next to no hair, he has a ring and the Squiggy sprout in front. Now, about 10 minutes ago, I found 3 bottles of shampoo in the bathroom cabinet, that are about 99% empty. Someone please explain to me why someone with so liitle hair needs shampoo in the first place and second, WHY is he physically incapable of using up one bottle of shampoo before opening another? WHY? WHY? WHY? even my own father gave up on using my shampoo and just used the bar soap. Not enough hair to bother. WHY?!?!

I keep seeing this HPV vaccine commercial on YouTube. There is a guy in it talking about how he contracted HPV and now has cancer.
I thought there was no HPV test for males....how would he know that he had it?

The same way Michael Douglas knows he got throat cancer from hm, not sure how to put this in G rated terms, making all those women very happy. (Insert eye roll emoticon here)

It's a bragplaint like, oh my hip hurts from hauling around this huge wallet! All these $20s get so heavy I'm going to have to get $100s next time!

(Insert eye roll emoticon here) This is my concern, my wife has it, I enjoy doing many things with her. I made sure both of my boys were vaccinated, figured it might help their future wives? I know there's been lots of bad press about the vaccination again, I really don't understand why.

I don't understand it either. Why wouldn't you want your kid to have it? HPV is super easy to contract. I read up on it and even using a condom isn't a guaranteed protection.

One kiddo is fully vaccinated. The other one had an anaphylactic reaction to his first injection and cannot finish the protocol. Hoping even just the little bit he got will go a long way. But, yup, aside from medical issues, the only other concern about the vaccination that I heard is that it doesn't protect against all of the strains of HPV. Still, something is better than nothing.

Maybe once it causes cancers biopsies show the virus so they know? There's just no test before it's an issue?
Just a guess.

I thought it was the 4 most common strains that it protected against. DS just started his. I think we're supposed to get him another shot soon. According to the web site I wasn't really keen on having DS do the first version of the shot, especially given that it hasn't been tested all that much on males. But, I was more open to this updated version because it helps protect against more strains.

Why don't men's uniforms for beach volleyball match the size of women's beach volleyball uniforms?
I thought This was 2016 and we're all about gender equality...
And why do they call it volleyball if there is little volleying going on?

Why is there such a big deal over athletes that are also parents? Particularly the moms? I can't believe there isn't any other materials for stories...

Personally I think I they should be shirtless and have their country and number body painted on.
But I'm still wiping up the drool from watching men's diving...

bzfd.it/2bcbbVLA fascinating, hard hitting, very respectable article that shows just how underrated buzzfeed is... How the score bars in men's diving makes them look naked. Go ahead, enjoy the screenshots. Yum.
