I don't like objective, favorable adjectives in SNs. It's great that you have self confidence, but using pretty, beautiful, cute, etc. as part of your internet identity is a little tween-ish.

So is your love really not cosmic??
Oh, it's cosmic. Nothing objective about it.
"The cleaning, the scrubbing will wait til tomorrow,
For children grow up, as I've learned to my sorrow.
"If you're still my small babe or you're all the way grown, my promise to you is you're never alone. You are my angel, my darling, my star...and my love will find you, wherever you are."

@soleil3 I an hardly sew a button on something, much less make a sweater. No way ill ever make my own clothes.
Now, growing a pot plant in my veggie garden would be a whole other matter.
Pot is a weed, it wants to grow Veggies on the other hand, are darn needy.
Yeah, I guess it is a big UO to me. I could never imagine being subservient to my partner, we are equals.
Subservient: prepared to obey others unquestioningly.
This is exactly why I think people are overreacting to the article. The assumption is automatically made that the women who place their men in the role of "head of household" are bending over to their every need/want/say.
I don't believe anywhere in the article, nor in what I have described of my own marriage - the world subservient applies. If I agree to disagree, does that mean I'm being subservient? In my book it doesn't. But I guess I'm reading a different book.
She is saying she is submissive. By definition of the word it is Lesser Than. If that is not the word she means, then maybe she shouldn't use it.
And she clearly says she uses the term submissive based on its biblical meaning - not the Webster's dictionary meaning.
Mine is that I don't mind multiple threads about the same topics like the sleep suit, solids, nap times etc. I find so many get really annoyed about it.
NO! This board is so busy an filled with threads to read lately HOW DARE anyone bring up a duplicate topic. ITS JUST TOO CLUTTERED. This board is just too active!
/sarcasm
IDGAF about repetitive threads either. I wish there were more posts of any kind. I've been lurking July and September a lot lately.
How on EARTH is yet another thread on sleep suits entertaining? Seriously? I don't even open them and they drive me batty. Maybe if we had less repetitive posts we could see the other unique posts and get a discussion going...
I just don't open them. Like I said, I just don't care.
I think sometimes we gang up on people that don't post often about repetitive posts or not searching and that scares them away from posting in the future.
And if they don't post in the future, there won't be enough flammable fun stuff to pick apart on a cold February day. More posts=more fun for me.
But I dunno. I'm probably wrong. Let's keep doing it the way we do it now. Participation seems at an all time high.

And usually not true
...People who say that about themselves, usually aren't.
I think all drugs should be legalized and regulated. Those who abuse them should be offered help for their addictions, rather than being treated as criminals (unless they are found guilty of a criminal offense; i.e. DUI, assault, theft, etc).
I actually agree to an extent with @youtubebeauties on this one. We should treat drug addiction as a mental and physical issue, not a criminal one. People wouldn't be mixing up random chemicals in their homes at the risk of imprisonment if they could purchase a guaranteed pure product that was heavily regulated yet legal. Also I am all for ending the "war on drugs", having lived close to Juarez for many years. So much blood spilled and innocents getting caught in the crossfire. Where is the benefit? Not even an inch of ground has been gained.
I am not sure if complete legalization is the answer but something different has to happen.

Pretty much. Generally, they wish to repeal all drug laws creating "crimes" without victimes. IE, if you do drugs and you're only harming yourself, it should not be illegal. Now, if you're stealing for drug money or DUI, then that is considered criminal activity.
We support the protections provided by the Fourth Amendment to be secure in our persons, homes, and property. Only actions that infringe on the rights of others can properly be termed crimes. They favor the repeal of all laws creating “crimes” without victims, such as the use of drugs for medicinal or recreational purposes. (Source: National platform adopted at Denver L.P. convention , May 30, 2008)
The War on Drugs is a threat to individual liberty and domestic order; furthermore, it has provided a rationale by which the power of the state has been expanded to restrict our privacy. We condemn the use of “profiles” as sufficient to satisfy the probable cause requirement of the Fourth Amendment, the use of “civil asset forfeiture” to reduce the standard of proof historically borne by government in prosecutions, and the use of military forces for civilian law enforcement.

1. I love baby poo. Now that LO has started laying serious pipe in his diapers, I sooooo miss the crazy liquidy assplosions of days gone by.
2. I am totally down with the idea of arming school personnel. Not ALL of them, obviously, because that would be mayhem. Just a handful of smart, cool-headed ones that are skilled with a weapon. Now that I have my son, I would much prefer to kill to protect my students than die to protect them.
Theusualmischief said: Also, we eat venison in our house and LOVE it. There is a huge stigma about hunting, but without it we would be a completely different house. The money we save on meat alone is crazy, not to mention how much healthier we are for eating such a lean meat that is grass fed, organic, free range, etc. etc. Buying beef with that "pedigree" would be insane. Yes there are dipshits out there who hunt to kill and deserve the stigma and hatred. We hunt to eat, respect the animals and the applicable laws, and cook some damn good food with it.
I don't know the last time we've had ground beef in the house. My freezer is chock full of ground venison.

Addiction is a disease. It makes the person bodily and mentally different from their fellows. Legalizing it, however, isn't going to help that or change it. Alcohol is legal and regulated. Doesn't make a difference to the alcoholic suffering from their disease.

Now I don't align myself with any party, and generally stay out of politics completely, but why would that be a bad idea? To butt out and let those who want to destroy themselves, do so?

Who knows. I do know that lots of people get treatment in facilities such as jails and institutions. You have to hit "rock bottom" before you can except help. Jail is considered that for many people.

I'm with @katies7 Mary Jane, yes.... Anything else absolutely not... And how would you regulate a dose of crack?
Love the BB GIFs. I'm watching it all over again. I'm finally home alone!

I agree with you 100% in that addiction is a disease.
However, would you agree that the 'war on drugs', as it stands now is effective in reducing drug use and the crimes associated with usage? Legalization would decrease crimes associated with drugs. You're right in that legalization won't in any way change whether or not someone dealing with addiction will still continue to choose to use. All that I'm suggesting is that our drug policies and judicial processes associated with drug use and subsequent crimes aren't working; we need to do something different.
