South Carolina is working on a six week abortion ban and removed exceptions for rape and incest. Our governor already said he would sign it. One more step backward. GDI.

I assume thats the big name corporate people who toss big $$$ at the candidates? Because apparently they aren't happy with the current crop of NINETEEN

Can I ask a parenting question? I have an almost 7 year old boy. He’s pretty obsessed with guns and military stuff. MH and I are extreme anti gun. Like MH thinks all guns should be illegal (he knows that’s not practical but that’s how he feels). So we’ve never allowed any toy guns. Of course, my son improvises with other toys and we have some rules around that like not pointing them at pets or people. Anywho, he is begging for a nerf gun for Xmas. Like he’s definitely going to ask Santa for one. I know I’m extra about this but I don’t want to get it for him. I don’t want to play guns, etc. Almost all of his peers have them. I need to just unclench, huh? What are your general rules around toy guns, nerf guns, etc and what ages are appropriate? I just feel like I can’t even be rationale about it because of my fears so I need some practical advice. coming from a house that had guns the entire time growing up we did not have realistic guns, guns were not toys A lot of kids go thru the pretending to shoot stuff phase.
that said Nerf is different somehow, it falls into the same category as a waterblaster which looks more 'gun like' to me. Camille has a nerf bow. Same rules apply, no aiming or shooting at 2 or 4 legged beings.
There is no easy answer, except your house your rules.
Same here. My dad has several hunting rifles. We weren’t allowed to have toy guns because guns are not toys. We did have nerf bow and arrows and water blasters in the pool, but the sort that were obviously not guns. We are a no-guns house. The only thing we have that is even close is a Star Wars stormtrooper blaster that only gets played with along with a lightsaber. We’ve been dealing with an interest in explosions here lately, which is a whole other can of worms.

The thing about Nerf guns is, once you have one, it's hard not to acquire more. If you are really adamantly against it, don't do it. Maybe the Nerf bow is a good compromise? We gave our kids a toy trebuchet a few years ago and that was a fun way to "shoot" at targets with beanbags that didn't feel as violent.

I bought the Future Voter shirt for ds but I needed something smaller for dd. I ordered this from amazon. Ginsberg’s red glasses sealed the deal for me since dd has bright red glasses. She’s running all around shouting “girl power” except she’s two and it sounds like “GRRR Pow-ER!” and it’s too freaking cute.

Katie Couric came to play with Sheryl Sandberg at a VF Summit. Among many excellent questions about Facebook itself, she finished up with: “Given the systemic failures of so many organizations that we’ve seen, who have tolerated sexual misconduct and harassment, silenced women through NDAs — do you think, in retrospect, given the very real revelations that have surfaced as a result of the Me Too movement, ‘Lean In’ might have put too much of the onus on women to change, instead of getting a lot of these screwed-up companies to change?” variety.com/2019/biz/news/katie-couric-sheryl-sandberg-vanity-fair-summit-1203379961/

I told DH about the crazy laws about ToTing in Chesapeake and he is looking up other random laws. He found that in Baltimore, wearing a sleeveless T-shirt is a $10 fine.
