The #1 thing that makes me feel more connected to my husband is making love. Plus, it puts me in a good mood, which makes it easier to look past any irritating quirks he may have. I also just enjoy doing activities we both enjoy together. I like to cook together, garden together, or even just...

Yeah, don't you remember he was turning all the kids gay?

I was just reading this one: http://www.policymic.com/articles/72393/audit-the-fed-bill-is-just-more-rand-paul-grandstanding-and-it-will-hurt-women ETA: It is the first news result to show up if you Google "audit the fed."

It is sad that people who are already getting their food for free would try to steal more. Ruins it for the people who really need it. People abuse assistance programs all the time, and it just makes me wonder why so greedy? I know a girl who buys groceries with her food stamps and then sells...

I've been on some other discussion forums, and most of them tend to be that way. I totally agree with the idea that many people turn into dicks when they are able to hide behind a screen. If you are going to participate in an online forum, especially a political one, you have to have a thick...

Document everything and photograph any injuries she gives you for sure!

Exactly. I mean, the fact that anyone would want to do a study to see if there is any correlation between racism and gun ownership, should raise a red flag right from the get-go (at least to anyone with half a brain).

What is the purpose of doing a study like this anyway?

Kinky.

I agree, time to find a new doctor. That would make me very angry. While I was pregnant, I kept getting offered flu shots and pertussis too, and my doctor also said the whole family should get pertussis. I declined, and she didn't make a big deal of it at least. But it was annoying how the...

Flu shots are weird and stupid. I never get sick anyway. The last time I had the flu was when I was pregnant (and it had been years since I'd been sick when I got that bug). I was down for a couple days, fever, aches. Now my twins are 9 months old, and neither of them has been sick once yet.

Another INTJ here.

I hate the idea of my kids using iPads in school. They are just glorified video games. I get that kids need to learn how to use new technology, but there is so much value in learning from a good, old-fashioned book, paper and pencil, or god forbid, actually going outside. Also, what is...

@cajuncocoa moms of twins rock! :D My twins are 9 months old now, and I am a SAHM. If I had a nickel for every time I've been asked, "So when are you going back to work?" And when I tell them, "Not any time soon," I get a puzzled look in return, "Oh..." I do have to say, many people have...
