Fuck yeah, congrats! I loved my IUD while I had it and now I love having my tubes tied. BC is pretty awesome.

I'm gonna have to disagree with not bringing up the sex issue. It's sex, not appearance, right? I've put on weight and feel like I could be in your wife's shoes (for the most part). I would actually really like it if my husband would let me know how he feels. I would jump at the chance for a personal trainer. I would…

Electric or stove-top? I just got my electric pressure cooker on Wednesday and I've used it four times since then! I loooove it! The electric ones are safer and, honestly, I'm pretty sure exploding pressure cookers are urban legend.

How well do you know this person? Is it possible to bring it up in a joking way? Sometimes it's easier for a person to handle criticism if it's humorous.

Yeah, verbal abuse is still abuse. No excuses. My husband and I used to get in fights a lot earlier on in our relationship, but there were lines that weren't crossed. I would encourage you to make this a permanent break, but I don't know you or the entirety of your situation. If you decide to try to make it work, I…

I always feel safer living in close quarters with neighbors. Even if it's just a nod and 'how are ya' in the hall, just having other people around who are aware of you. I'm living in a house for the first time and my husband works nights. It's not a super great neighborhood, but I've met the neighbors on both sides…

HA! They have 'stable' jobs! Get it? Get it?

Yes! And even in more progressive areas where it's encouraged for boys to play with dolls if they want to, girls are probably still not encouraged to because it would promote bad body image. I had Barbies as a child and I have the best body image of pretty much anyone I know (I'm also overweight) but even I cringe at…

That's bizarre. I'm usually hesitant to take on a trend I like because of stuff like this!

I hate talk shows and I don't really know anything about Wendy, but 'batshit' is a very apt way to describe that letter...

I feel like that about iceberg lettuce. WHY ARE YOU SO USELESS?!

Yeah, I thought literally everyone knows you don't wear brown shoes with black clothing? Although I once saw a guy in a navy suit with brown shoes and black socks. I almost said something to him...almost.

Fuck yeah.

Ahahaha! I'm showing this to my 20 year old brother. He'll either be offended or also find it hilarious.

I have zero problems with this. I think way way way more people should consider sterilization. It's pretty freeing. I would have like to have a pizza after getting my tubes tied, but I was passed out most of the day.

Where was that? I've noticed that here (Texas) a lot more people in general smoke menthols. Maybe because the mintyness seems cooler in the hot weather? Just something I noticed.

I feel what what you're saying, that quote caught me too. While I agree with the idea that we should move beyond gendered activities and such, as it stands, traditionally masculine things are worth being proud of. Speaking only of daughters, you will see far more attention drawn to them being "badass" and doing…

It seems to be more the way it's styled than the cut itself? I had a stylist who was hairspray happy and blame that. You know the 'big sexy hair' stuff? He had a can the size of a fire extinguisher, I shit you not.

Aaaah! Panda slide! I'm suddenly four years old!

That's fantastic! I want to see!
