Original article: Lousy spouses anonymous

Interesting advice on what to do first

Suspect you have a lousy spouse? They may run to the bank at take all the money. Stop them by immediately running to the bank and taking all the money.

Suspect you have a lousy spouse? They may steal the children's passports. Stop them by immediately stealing the children's passports.

Etc.

Yeah, great.

The quiz for lousy spouses should start with: "did your spouse get mad when you suddenly closed all the bank accounts and hid the money, then told them they were a lousy spouse? Yup - see you were right, they are a lousy spouse!"

too young to realize the center lane on freeway isn't a rest stop

If she can't stay out of the shipping lanes, then she's too young to sail alone.

@Laurel - you are clueless about what sizes clothes are made in

If you really think that every store carries clothing for tall, thin people, you are mistaken. In fact both Macy's and Nordstrom's used to carry every piece of "casual" clothing for men with longer inseam than waist. Neither does any more. Even online. Only about 10% of their casual clothing still is available in those sizes.

If people want to criticize the fashion industry, they should look at what sizes clothing is actually made in.

Isn't it interesting that the model in the catalog cannot actually purchase the clothing they are modeling?

Look in a Walmart catalog. You'll see 6' tall women who are 130lbs modeling clothing. Now take a 6' tall, 130lb woman to Walmart and attempt to purchase clothing. Won't fit. Can't even buy it online.

That should be a requirement. The model in the catalog should be able to walk into the store and find clothing in their size. Which means stocking more sizes or hiring fatter models.

@zorkna - same problem, not fat

I'm also 6'4" and 180lbs. Most of the time I have to throw away jeans after I wash them the first time. They shrink too much.

Constantly special ordering clothing. And half of it ends up too fat anyway. My god, this is mens clothing that is supposed to be measured in inches.

But to make the fat guys feel better, they sell a 38" waist and label it a 34". Uugh.

Face it. Models are thin. Thin people are normal. And the vast majority of American's are obese.

Congratulations, you are giving Mr. Heene exactly what he wants

People who go on TV are there for one reason. To be on TV.

More generally to be noticed.

They will do anything to be noticed. And you just noticed him.

Kids are irrelevant in this. They are just a way for the parents to get on TV.

I think CPS should just have open casting calls for family reality TV shows. Then just arrest all the parents who show up and send their kids off to foster care.

Definitely rapists deserve more prison time

The judge was right.

What I find more disturbing is this case. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33295777

"The DNA matched Bradford, who was in the system after a 1997 kidnapping conviction in Arkansas. Police said he kidnapped a 35-year-old woman, sexually assaulted her and cut her throat. He served four years of a 12-year sentence in that case."

Four years of a 12-year sentence? WTF?

We need to get rid of these crazy drug laws and start giving real sentences to offenses that are normally repeat offenses. Stranger rape, stranger murder, child molestation - the people doing these crimes almost always have multiple previous victims and will have multiple subsequent victims when they get out again.

Bust em once and never let them go again.

Original article: The surprise Spanx make-out

From a guys perspective, "Spanks? WTF are spanks?"

Hmm, we are making out and she's "wearing spanks"?

Did she mean "I'm _into_ spanks"?

Did she mean "I wearing the result of some dude's spank? Yuck."

I'm keeping my mouth shut and getting the heck out of here...

get a modern IUD with low dose hormone

Wife hasn't had a full blown period in over six years. And she's in her mid 30's.

It's way less hormone than the pill but since it's applied in exactly the right spot, you have a super light to no period.

Mow your own bloody lawn, leave mine alone

It's fashionable to mow the lawn very short.

Which means that it requires monthly chemical fertilizer and almost daily water to stay alive.

Leave my dang grass alone. I like it 3" tall, fertilized once a quarter with compost, and watered twice a week.

Take your freaking short mower and shove it. Especially in that parking strip which always needs the most water and will die within days of your stupid over-mowing just to make my yard look more like yours.

Tell you what. Next season I'll use cow manure compost and as a neighborly gesture spread it all over your front yard early in the morning on a hot day that you are inviting people over for a bbq.

You're toast

Whatever sex act you were reading about that she loved with the last three guys, you're never gonna get it. If it was gonna happen, it would have happened over four years ago.

If you even mention it, she'll know you snooped. If you hadn't tossed her stuff you could have admitted snooping, begged forgiveness, tell her you are crazy in love and couldn't help yourself.

But you tossed it. No chance.

Face it. You're toast.

No big loss. Do you really want to be with a girl that does that with other guys but not with you?
