@Queenjulie: Exactly. I'm sure you get bad midwives just like you get bad doctors.

@maude_flanders: I like to shop on Bluefly because I'm a pretty consistent size and you can get a nice Chantelle or Wacoal bra for about half price sometimes.

@Our Lady of the Massacre: Me too. I think it's silly to get upset about wine in a dish or alcohol based mouthwash, but is it really that hard to cut the booze out while you're baking a baby?

@CatMcC: Also, she is GREEN in that picture. I don't think she is really green!

@FotoVerite: Agreed. It's not so much an "unretouched' picture as a really bad one. Unless she's got some sort of Dorian Gray action going on, she doesn't look like that in pap photos.

@sterlingsilver36: But she would be wearing an extensive amount of makeup at a photo shoot as well.

@irv: I think that approaching a stranger in public and directly asking her out is going to be off-putting to a lot of people. I think your best bet would have been to discreetly check her out and pick up something you could have used as a conversational opening. Aim for a friendly exchange of numbers/emails, then…

@DutchessOfDork: But if he had hooked up with Jennifer Aniston that would have been kind of awesome.

OH MY GOD WHAT IS WITH THE CAFTANS JUST PUT ON A DAMN DRESS FOR THE PREMIERE I KNOW YOU CAN AFFORD THEM.

@bobella (ITSAPROCESS): Yeah, have you BEEN on the internet lately? All dudes do is call women fat and talk about the size of their various body parts...

Maybe because she isn't Catholic? (Is she?)

@Lizaster: She should have mugged him!

@Paranoid K.: Broads! Tomatoes! Birds!

@CatMcC: I also tend to put back any book set in the South where the majority of characters have bizarre names.

I don't read a lot of Literature with a capital L but The Hours rocked my world.

@BronxPirate: I'm sort of astounded by people who think the doctors should *withhold* this information because it would have upset them personally.

@SkaHimself: They aren't going to come out and specify the disabilities for the news media because of privacy concerns. I assure you if they've been given psych evals they have diagnoses of some sort. It's just not any of our business what they are.

@alliebeau: That happens to me when I see petit fours.

@LouisiAnna: You are basically saying to posters who are critical of the writing and the tone of an online article that they are "uncomfortable with their own bodies." Newsflash! That is both assholish and not terribly feminist!

@Girl_Unawares: Everyone needs stripper spies!
