Future Darwin Award in the making.

I was low risk pregnancy for my first two. One died 3 weeks before due date because of an umbilical cord accident. The second almost died from the same thing and was only saved with constant monitoring and immediate hospital intervention. This time around I'm considered high risk with all the hopes of a normal birth.

Cordelia and Daphne. The fanciest grandma names we could think of.

I can't stand all the weird spellings. My eldest will be attending private school, and there are so, so many weird spellings of names. I don't get it, you're just asking for your child to have to spell their name to everyone for their entire life.

Which is a shame because it's a lovely name and I love the mythology behind the name.

Cordelia and Daphne. One from Shakespeare, the other from Greek mythology. I also may have watched a lot of Buffy and Angel while pregnant with Cordelia.

Jesus Christ. I had a SEVERE eating disorder that almost killed me. The lowest I ever got was 87 pounds when I was 16 and I was a skeleton, I could barely move or lift anything. That is less then half of me being nearly dead. I can't imagine....poor girl.

I'm constantly relieved to see neither of my girls names on any of these lists. I've also never met any other people with their names, young or old. I would also like to say they're not weird names, just old.

I think he's starting to grow on me simply because of her.

Or make those videos that is just a ladies hands opening plastic Easter eggs and showing the toys inside. Somehow my toddler finds them within moments of getting ahold of the iPad and spends the entire 10 minutes yelling "OPEN!" Each video has MILLIONS of views.

This toy is the worst idea ever. The commercial makes me uncomfortable.

My two year old saw this commercial and wants one so bad. She asks me to put it on her Christmas list. I had one as a kid and loved it, but now I find it creepy. I'm not sure what to do.

Depends on the company. When I worked at Whole Foods it was volunteer, and then a lottery. It was double time so a lot of us would sign up for it. We also closed at 1:00 though so at least we could make it home for dinner.

That was always my dad's take on things. "Are you defending yourself? Good. Do whatever you have to do to stay safe. You will never get in trouble with me for protecting yourself." I'm all for passing this on to my daughter. It's served me well.

I was once grabbed from behind at a show at a bar and dragged towards a door as I was standing in the back looking for my friends. Without thinking at all I spun around, grabbed a handful of his hair and yanked his head down into my rising knee. I broke his nose and fractured his eye socket I hit him so hard. I have

Jesus Christ. It's like some of those woman are TRYING to die.

"You're still doing them aren't you? Stop it. Stop it now."

Dammit. I knew I shouldn't have started watching it. I though John Cho, Karen Gillan, I'll watch it for them. Then I realized the show is actually really good, but was a subtle ironic humor that usually isn't well received. Plus Selfie is just not a good title...

Thank you. Some of them are great, but others are racist assholes. They've tried to hold neighborhood meetings about how to keep a certain "bad element" out of the neighborhood parks. I'm not very nice to them...

I live in a rich neighborhood and I have heard my neighbors complain about this as well. "They drive up from the ghetto in their horrid cars, half of which break down and have to be towed away. They take over and scare our polite neighborhood children away from trick or treating." This is a direct qoute from a lady
