My husband is doing a Matrix rewatch. I hate those movies so much. But I love my husband, so I tolerated watching some of them. But then he wants to talk to me about them. No. I have nothing intelligent to say about those movies because there is nothing intelligent about those movies. He thinks I don't like them because I didn't realize they were a ( Read more... )

Hi all--
My husband is researching Autism and needs to send out a survey to the parents of children with Autism. But before he does, he wants to make sure the questions make sense/are clear and non-offensive. Is anyone willing to read and give criticism? Please email me (limbomonkey@yahoo.com) or send me a message here. Or just reply.
Thanks.

My husband and I argue all the time. We don't fight exactly. We debate, we nitpick, we give opposing views, we engage in hypotheticals, we try to persuade each other. And we both do this professionally. I'm an attorney, and he's a scientist who likes to take down others' research ( Read more... )

Eventually, I stopped him and rolled up his pant leg. I thought ( Read more... )

My husband's first language is not English. He has made (or continues to make) some mistakes that I think are really funny. I thought I'd share them here ( Read more... )

Last night I had a dream that I had two kids. Q had basically cloned himself, so I had two of him. And I kept yelling at and being horrible to one of them ( Read more... )

I know that my privilege is going to show when writing this, so I don't think I'm looking for sympathy. I just need to get some crap that's been bothering me off my chest.

Damn I hate snobby bloggers who either don't respond to their readers' comments or act like they are doing the readers a huge favor by responding to a comment.

Someone I know who I no longer consider a friend apparently just bitched on facebook about how much she has to pay for health insurance. Why yes, she is a Republican. How did you know? Considering all the negative Obamascare stories about how the ACA made this family go bankrupt and how they have been disproven one by one, I think she's lying. This ( Read more... )
