As a person married to a Chicago teacher, I hate him.

I don't like soda. At all. Diet, regular, all gross to me. They make me feel bloated and even more thirsty, somehow. Am I alone? ALL ALONE?!

Laura, are you aware of the Southern treat known as Hot Dr Pepper? To make it, microwave a cup of Dr Pepper. That's it. (It is pretty good)

I turned off Galaxie 500 on Pandora to listen to this. Really pointed up the vapidity nicely.

I had an Ugly and a Standard, but they both became Gorgeous sometime around age one. And I'm totally objective.

The big butts thing is Sir Mix-A-Lot, not Diddy. Unless Diddy weighed in on this very important topic and I am unaware.

My jam is an AP made with blueberry rooibus (sp?) tea. BEST.

We're a single-income, middle-class family of four in an expensive city. It's not magic, it's just a combination of basic financial knowledge and luck. Financial knowledge in understanding the demon of credit; luck in having sprung from families who funded our (then not very expensive) college educations. Seriously,…

I've tried em all. It's just the additional friction, I think. I suffered through it in my single years, but once I got married I was DONE.

Birth control has never worked well for me - the Pill gave me headaches, condoms made my vag burn, the diaphragm was the worst buzzkill ever - so my husband and I have used pull out (along with avoiding sex during ovulation) for eight years. We have two kids, but we got them on purpose :) My husband is mulling over…

Oh, I don't know. Some people cite Naturalnews.com as a source of info.

That's it :)

Carrboro! That's the place I was thinking of.

No, another one. It has a gay mayor and is the most solidly liberal town in NC. Kind of a medium sized one? Starts with a B maybe?

Oh yeah, I know. And NC is home to the most liberal city in the south, whose name I can't remember. Still...ugh.

This is extra depressing because we are contemplating moving to NC. We'd likely go somewhere like Asheville or Chapel Hill, but would the overall political climate make even those places suck?

Who goes out at 7 pm? Seriously, that's like bedtime.

It's true, most kids were formula fed for a good chunk of the 20th century. I do believe that breastfeeding should be encouraged for a number of reasons, but that if the mother can't or doesn't want to, she should be provided with info on responsible bottle feeding. I can say from experience that that information is…

I don't have a medical background so I'm just guessing, but I believe it is because cow's milk is not easily digestible for infants. They aren't supposed to drink straight-up moo juice until one year. And I assume that given how common lactose intolerance is among adults, it would be even more so among babies.

Published too soon. I don't recall about the nonfat milk, mine are past the bottle-feeding stage and I haven't retained that kind of info. I do vaguely recall that nonfat milk was in the formula I used.
