On Gifts to President Obama

I dunno if I should be happy or annoyed that Stephen Harper cheaped out. Although he did give the most stuff.

On Should Your Wedding Gift Cover Your Meal?

"After all, this is about the commitment two people are making to each other, not a fundraiser." This is why I find Stag and Does SO ANNOYING.

On The Cost of Things in Qatar

This was AMAZING. If I thought that I or my corgi could survive the humidity (WE PROBABLY COULD NOT), I would applying for work there right now. I'm unemployed! I have like, no skills! I AM PERFECT.

On College Prestige vs. College Affordability

@maddog I was talking about prestige in the States. There are lots of studies about how State schools often offer a better education than some overpriced big-name school. I wasn't saying that prestige doesn't exist at Canadian schools (although it's more program-based than "oh this school has so much history therefore it is automatically better"), BUT it also doesn't cost tens of thousands of dollars more to go to a "prestigious" school than it does to go to one that's not.

On College Prestige vs. College Affordability

Never have I been more glad to live in a country where all university tuition is about the same, and stays well below 5 digits a year. But seriously guys, prestige is absolute bullshit.

On A Conversation With a Single Mom Living on $40,000 a Year

@TARDIStime Oh yeah, it's absolutely because women usually get custody. But women also usually don't make as much money either, so all those things together kind of combine to make it even worse.

On A Conversation With a Single Mom Living on $40,000 a Year

@BananaPeel HOW HAS SHE NOT SET HIM ON FIRE!? Also, $1500/a month does not seem like NEARLY ENOUGH child support for THREE children. :/

On WWYD: Moving, Staying Comfortable, and Taking Chances

Can't you work out a lesae agreement that can cover your concerns? I don't really understand how renting works in the U.S. (it seems to be much, much legally shittier than here), because here a lease would take care of all of that.
