I heard that she and her platonic BaaaaFF got engaged. 

Dammit, Dick! I just guffawed in public.

The argument of "most Americans (especially in Florida) are ok with this!" Is epically hilarious.

That wasn't my argument. Who said this?

ETA: Wait - are we talking about smoking here? Or getting a haircut? Or Donald Trump?


Or still the football?

Hell, I thought we were still talking about candy. I guess that ship has sailed.

I think my flameful confession is that I kinda want my girls to be really awesome at something, so I plan on putting them in some niche sports where there's a lot less talent to compete against.

There's so many amazing sports out there! Just watch the Olympics coming up. Laz, you could put your kid in, like archery, or canoe, or modern pentathlon or water polo and he would probably have a much better chance of being in the Olympics than the NFL!

Rowing!!

I stared at "BaaaaFF" for at least a minute before I got it. And only revisited it because FastHands said she laughed.

BUT THE PAYOFF WAS WORTH IT.

[cjcouple]

We love sports in my house and I often find we seem similar to Laz household in many ways with sports.

I think once your kids get involved and start to love a sport, your love and "competitive spirit" grows as well.

Especially when they show promise and have success. You want them to succeed. But the kids truly do love it. Very few parents are pushing their kids into something they clearly hate. Are there parents who do this? Yes!!! IME, the majority of the time, it's the kids driving themselves forward. Are there days where they are cranky and I have to push them to go? Yup. Usually though, while I get exhausted from running all week and am ready to pass out, my kids (who just spent 4 of the last 4 nights at soccer) are outside, playing soccer in their free time.

I am so glad my kids don't want to do football though.

So you're saying more people probably just aren't aware they want to vote third party...? Okay then.

Again, vote how you want. I think it's shitty when people say, "If you don't vote for Hillary, you're voting for TRUMP!" That's not true at all - it could be an OUTCOME, but there's a big difference. 

I personally don't think the top down approach is ever going to work in politics. But that's just me.

See, I think third parties HAVE to be involved in local elections, because otherwise how do you vote for them?  Jill Stein has NEVER held a political office.  WHY ON EARTH would I vote for her to be president?  That is like Hiring someone as CEO of a major corporation straight out of high school.  Had she been involved locally and elected and built experience, she might be a viable candidate.  You need local elections to have viable federal candidates.

She has been elected as Town of Lexington Town Meeting Representative in 2005 and 2008. Soooooooo presidential, yo.

Goats are adorable and very intelligent. My best friend in elementary school lived in the country and they had goats.

I lived on a farm until I was eight. There were a couple months we kept my dad's friend's goats while he rebuilt their barn after a storm. My brother, sister & I each chose a favorite; my four-year-old brother named his "Baah".

My friend's parents have a little ranch, with a bunch of goats and one donkey. The donkey was rescued from Mexico and was basically feral when they first got her. One of the goats developed an interest in the donkey so they put the goat in the donkey's pasture. Instant BFFs! Unfortunately, the goat passed away last year. Luckily, the donkey doesn't seem TOO fazed by it.

PDQ, obvs.

Yes. And it could be so much better if i could walk down to get the goods that Colorado has to offer, but pretty sure leaving my sick 6 year old sleeping in a hotel room to do so would be frowned upon.

Goats creep me the fuck out with their weird ass sideways eyeballs. Hell no. Emilie has my respect because she is obviously brave to have such soulless creatures running amock and knowing where she sleeps and shit.

Almost as bad as rabbits.

There's a goat right there not an inch above your words, and I have no idea what weird ass sideways eyeballs you're talking about. Usually I'm on the caps train, but this position of yours has me smdh. Goats are objectively, unarguably, cute. Especially fainting goats.

ETA: I take it back. Those horizontal irises are fucking weird.

Her name is Maya. I also want to be her BFF.

No, goats totally do have sideways eyeballs!

Indeed. See my eta.

Emilie's story fucked with my head so much. My BFF is actually my high school boyfriend, and we had feelings for each other for years afterward, but timing and dumb 22 year-olds and shit. We both got over it and then met our significant others, and whenever Emilie talked about her guy BFF I was like, "Look! It works! A married woman can have her husband and a guy BFF!"

And then the goat farm happened, and now the cheese stands alone, because now I'd rather have sex with one of you than my guy BFF.

Perhaps you can help me with some vocabulary, then.

Are the terms "birdie" and "shuttlecock" interchangeable?
