if by "unilateral", you mean it's discrimination against the childless, you should look at the post right before your last one.

I'm not sure if I'll ever have biological children, but if not I would totally be willing to adopt. I like the idea of helping provide structure to a kid who has never had it's life.

Yeah, there are a lot of great understanding people here. In fact, most won't say they disagree with a childfree life up front, which is nice. Where you'll find it is in the "you can't understand life because of your choice" that pops up in every other discussion. It's like saying you're for gay marriage and then using the other 'f word' when you get annoyed. I don't understand the point of Facebook because it does things that aren't in line with how I structured my life, which is how we got to this point. Which is dumb anyway since my parents are on FB themselves.

It'll make for a nice thread someday. Not today, though.

And, conversely, under salted potato chips.

There are billions that don't shop on Black Friday, so I don't understand the OP.

The fact that I was going to post that the correct plural of "Leaf" is "Leaves," not "Leafs" in this thread, then I decided to look it up and there is a perfectly reasonable reason that they are the "Maple Leafs."

So I did get an irrational peeve out of it anyway.

How many of your furbabies have gone on to have other furbabies? You are practically the Noah of the Kansas canine world.

Oh, absolutely none. Nada. Zilch.

Spay/neuter is the first thing that happens. Not only is it a requirement of our rescue license, but it's about the strongest thing I believe in.

I figured that, I guess I was trying to be figurative. Your rescue has spidered out and touched a lot of other lives, I would imagine.

Dog rescue groupies. I can see that being both quite lucrative and devastatingly horrendous at the same time.

This might be the thing that makes me the most irrationally rageful. When people cannot parallel park and their ineptitude takes up at least one additional parking space. My blood boils

When did "punishable face" enter the lexicon?
It just makes people sound really stupid.
