@5 I was at a food focused event this past weekend where 3 out of 4 people who had RSVP'd as "vegetarian" asked to be served bacon.

She is one of the best parts of Gilmore Girls (don't judge me) and her talent is the only reason I've considered seeing Identity Thief. Though, I plan on being drunk.

I've been in a 3 person relationship for about 2 years now, 1 year since we've all lived together. (2 bi women, 1 man)
This is the FIRST time I've ever heard of the term "throuple", as we've always referred to our relationship as a "triad."
I guess the terms could be interchangeable, but your term is new to me. *shrug*

When I was in High School, a friend of mine had a neighbor our age who was home-schooled for non-religion reasons. Basically he was bullied to the brink of self harm in all of his elementary schools so his mom gave up on the system and started teaching him at home.
He was a nice guy, pretty brilliant and while a bit of a loner and "geek" not much more socially inept than a lot of other folks I knew in the public school system.
That one anecdote and experience on my part doesn't ingratiate me to home-schooling, but nor does it malign the practice. At the very least, with stories like the one Dan cites, I would hope any home-schooled child has welfare checks periodically (and unscheduled/surprise!) required. Is that a thing? I know education budgets are tight, but I am horrified that such a thing went on for so long without anyone finding out. Simple things like arranging mandatory socialization with other home-schooled kids, and maybe even one-on-one interviews with a counselor at periodic interviews would be a good idea. I find it hard to believe that's not happening already, but I wasn't home-schooled & don't have chillins.
I thought you had to register lesson plans, submit testing and grades to an oversight organization, and make time for socializing kids when they're home-schooled. Is that, at the very least, not a thing? How did it get this far before someone noticed something was off? Sexual abuse aside, not knowing how to use eating utensils by the time he was in his early teens? WTF?

Just make sure not to share or sell those brownies. Gotta eat that whole pan to yourself, because passing them out is still more illegal than strangers exchanging tobacco-stick-cancer-factories. Because people who would never choose to ingest cannabis in any form decided a long time ago that their decisions about what to put in their body should be imposed on others.

@18 The area reserved for smoking is a dues-paying-members-only area staffed by volunteers rather than employees, which is how Frankie's wiggles around the anti-smoking law. The establishment (as I understand from the article, I've never actually been there) has a regular public space in addition to the special smokers area which is obviously designed to keep smoking patrons happy & legally segregated.
From what I understand, though, everyone would have to bring their own to smoke, as any sharing (let alone selling) of cannabis is still illegal under 502. Bumming cigarettes and sharing cigars while trading tastes of beverages? A'ok.
But even in private, passing a joint between friends is still not allowed under the new law.

Alright, I hate to admit it, but as much as I disagree with their positions I can't stop myself from finding this whole production utterly adorable.

I've had a handful of their snack sized dishes, a few of their happy hour drinks and really enjoyed the seats at the window where I can leer at all the folks walking by. It was a great experience, and I look forward to going back. Hopefully with an excuse to get a giant bowl of tiki drink to share with friends.

With that experience in mind, this last weekend's escapades involved making arrangements with a town-car service who picked us up right on time, was luxuriously comfortable and responded quickly to our late-night call for a ride. The cost was only a little bit more than what a taxi would have cost us, and the service was exceptional in comparison.
