On The Best Time I Took My Baby to the Emergency Room
This made me cry so hard! I'm so glad your daughter is okay, and I really appreciate your bravery in talking about it, because you're totally spot on about it.

On The Only Two Surprises at Coachella 2012
I bought a Spirit Hood at Pitchfork in 90 degree weather, and even though I've barely (never?) worn it outside of the house (that shit is WARM) I still don't regret the purchase one bit. My husband wore it to a costume ball last week (costume: awesome bear) and it was quite a hit. It's just too adorable not to love, I feel.

On The Best Time I Called in to a Radio Advice Show
@a small sea I found basically everything about that call to be very distressing, and not at all funny. That shit is jacked up.

@thebestjasmine I feel the exact same way.

On Playing House, Cutting Ties, and Being Alone
Okay, never snoop, obviously! Yes! But also it bums me out when someone does snoop and then has a problem and most of the advice centers on how they got the problem. Yes, never do it again! It was a bad idea! But that person has already crossed that bridge and the actual question is about the fallout, and it just feels mean and unconstructive to shame people when they're probably already well aware of just how terrible snooping is, given that they're suffering the consequences.
That said, I have no actual advice for LW3 except that the friend probably needs to know and then I have some harebrained and poorly thought out ideas about pointing the friend to the information without actually having to reveal it. Tough spot, I'm sorry!

@wharrgarbl thank you so much for this!
My brain scrambles just looking at that image, reading was out of the question, and I didn't want to be left out of this amazing topic!

On How's It Going?
As far as quick-links go, you guys have directed me to some amazing stories I may never have found otherwise. The only ones coming to mind at the moment are the article written by Patrick Carney's ex-wife and an old story that Nicole Cliffe linked to about parents accidentally leaving their children in cars. Okay, those were wildly disparate examples and I'm sorry for that! But the point is, please keep linking fantastic stories like that... I would always take that kind of personal tell-all or heavy hitting writing over quick links about (oh god how do I even say this???) dolls.
