Thanks! I’m super pumped for the kid part, and this pregnancy part isn’t too bad either. Probably because I’m not hungover ever - although I could do without this new rubbing of my thighs together. OH WELL. BRING ON BABY.

One of the OB/GYNs at the practice I go to told me my 14-week-old-fetus daughter was in “porn position.” I was so shocked I had nothing to say. I see him again on Friday, and if he mentions it again, I will be happy to lecture him on sexualization of fetuses.

I have these same concerns for my feminist-female-in-utero. To solve the problem, we’ve asked for no gifts and reiterated with all of our friends that we have so many hand-me-downs that the baby needs no clothes.

I’m pregnant now and am getting all these hand-me-downs, which is great, but they’re all f’ing pink and I want to vomit Pepto onto them.

Oooh! I feel the same as you on the former, but I absolute hate being “spanked” in bed. I resent it, in fact. (Although I’m happy to do the spanking... probably related. Ugh. Gross.)

Ugh - I’m sorry you had to go through that. My parents hit my sister and I too, then chilled out later with the other three kids. The crazy thing is, when I brought this up to my mom recently, she told me I was making things up - as if somehow I had decided to lie about distinct memories of being smacked! Absolutely…

Yep, done that! Maybe its a West Coast thing, but my local pizzeria is happy to sell me a couple of pounds of raw dough.

Oh yeah... I had a college boyfriend who couldn’t finish... turns out he was a porn addict. Killed my self-esteem, and made me very wary of porn.

My nephew has infected the entire family with norovirus or something similar for the last three Christmases in a row.

Except the last two I’ve purchased smell like crap. I returned one to Sephora and got a second, but it also reeked. Maybe it was a bad bash? I’m using a sample Dior mascara right now and I love it more than NARS.

So many TSA stories. I’m pregnant, so currently avoiding the stupid revolving imaging machine. I get so distressed every time I have to go through the “pat down.” It is truly an awful invasion of privacy. A few weeks ago at Stockholm airport, a male security agent did the pat down - which I’m not sure is legal or by…

ODU isn’t exactly known for stellar academics.

But not alone.

*Too wise.

Yes! Me too. But then again, I can barely be bothered with the mascara I put on daily and the jeans I’ll wear in lieu of yoga pants...

My favorite tool EVER....

I hear you. We also had a terrible meth-head neighbor once. He’s gone now, but a year ago, someone tried to set the empty house on fire. I saw them do it and was able to call the fire department before it spread to our home. The moment I hear anything from the house, I break into a sweat and my heart skips a few beats…

I once was in a brothel/club in Jordan that had just one open toilet in the women’s restroom that also doubled as the ladies’ locker room.

My college roommate still knows that if she’s in the bathroom with me, she has to turn on the water. It warms my heart when we get together, almost 10 years later, and she remembers to do this.

One of my Ukrainian colleagues does that.
