Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Don't you have a dog those would fit on?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm backing away slowly from the insane troll-logic of that "feminist marriage" article.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

But...they start earning their keep after the first 3 months, right? RIGHT?

RIGHT.

I just finished reading Emile Zola's Germinal, and one of the most killing things about it was the way the mother of the family was utterly dependent on having her children go to work in the mine as early as possible. There was one child who was disabled in some way, and although she did a lot around the house, her inability to earn was a real problem. It was a strong reminder of how families used to be big so that they got work out of the kids, not only to support the parents in their age.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, will you marry me?

Absolutely! Do we find the rich baby-daddies first? Or sign up for welfare? I'd better check the feminist rules.

They're way too small for Kato. Possibly one of the cats, but that would lead to me being maimed, the avoidance of which is one of my life goals.

These underpants. See? I need a feminist-marriage baby to put those on!

I was reading this to K-Bug and was told that I have already failed that goal. Anyone want a 21 year old?

Because books.

I know sisters who moved in together to raise children, for instance. I wouldn't do it, but I don't think it's a dubious concept.

I thought Kate and Allie did pretty well, though. (I realize it's TV, but still.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Can I tag this? You just knocked MCA off his pedestal.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Allyson, of course!

I have just entered my next MONTH's meals into the Cozi meal-planner. FlyLady has eaten my brain.

(Now I just need a way to export the Cozi shopping list into FreshDirect so I can line up a week's worth of meals, click "grocery list" and have it populate my online cart automatically. C'mon future, you're disappointing me here.)
