@lyzl I'm all for being positive. My four 20-something-year-old kids are the BEST ever, and I shouted their teenage good deeds from the rooftops. However, we don't say the part about it NOT being hard out loud, lest you tempt the teen rebellion gods.

@ChinoBlanco Thanks!

[SB Jones @sarahbjones]

@_Kristine_A Yes! That episode broke me, which after a lifetime of control is pretty freeing. My brain was like “Oh. It really is about control.” So disappointing.

@Valkyrie1367440 @ericfhancock For men who are happily sealed, there is so much good news. For women -- not so much.

@Valkyrie1367440 @Misapita When I realized that Mormonism offered me no good options in the hereafter that my shelf finally broke. My god wouldn't want that!

@LShalott My family did matching Christmas PJs in the late 70s and through the 80s!

@amandajpanda This is worse than the jam of the month club from Christmas Vacation.

@BillBishopKHOU But what about the parking? It's already a nightmare!

“We are pleased with the Arizona Superior Court’s decision…dismissing the plaintiffs’ claims…The court found that @Ch_JesusChrist and its clergy handled this matter consistent with Arizona law.”

@NelsonRussellM, @OaksDallinH, @EyringHB, Elder Faust has some words for you.

@SallyGirl It was in Mormon Doctrine! It said that face cards used the signs of the devil. lol

@AriWRees Love this! And once your kids are grown? The advent is gone too -- and you were never good enough to gain any sort of respect, agency or authority.

@jet_set When my kids were little, people were generally kind on flights. So, I've tried to pay that back and shift around when necessary. But on my last flight, I was asked to move so a mother could sit with her son. I agreed but later learned he was 15! He slept the entire flight.

@haleshannon @MotherJones @kieraevebutler This is so great. I'm straddling those same worlds and feel pretty alone in the endeavor. So thanks!!!

[SB Jones @sarahbjones]

@_Kristine_A That line broke me. This is not inspired. It's not even well-thought out. It's always about control. So, no.

@jcgkaufmann There has to be someone capable of pulling a kid out of the pool -- even from the bottom. Most 9-year olds can't do that. Also, someone needs to be on the lookout for heads that don't pop up for any reason.

“Every day I wake up at 5 A.M. to volunteer at a nearby animal sanctuary, because the valley’s sublime sunrises have transformed me, overnight, into a morning person.” @evoooooooooooo on his upstate fantasy.
