All of my tears are caused by the pregnancy hormones. Yeah, that's it.

I recorded the Oscars. I was going to save the recording and let Little Doo watch "Let It Go", since this is her favorite song, but the whole thing was so bad I just deleted it.

Yes! My nipples were cracked and bleeding (too shallow of a latch, from what I was told) before I left the hospital, and I only stayed in the hospital one night.

Uh, nope, thanks to the advanced power of science you can now find out the sex much earlier. I am pregnant, 21 weeks in, with the Little Dude. I found out the sex at 10 weeks, because I am AMA (advanced maternal age). I found out the sex based on a blood draw at around 8 weeks, I think, and it was confirmed last…

Oysters — They're phlegm on the half-shell, and you can't tell me otherwise. Who the fuck cracked one of these open and thought "THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS"?

You do shrink with age, just like women. I can tell you that my 91 yo grandfather is now my height, not knowing what he reported when he was 18.

My general experience was that most men added 2" to their online height on their profiles. However, you can usually use the group shots or other photos as an accurate measure of height. If the guy is in a group shot with his friends or standing in a doorway, is he taller than his friends or near the top of the…

I just read about Hugh Grant having two children by two different women within 4-5 months of each other, and that was the first thing that popped into my mind - he's having condomless sex with at least two women at the same time, what about STIs?

Yes! We moved from southern CA to upstate NY when I was 9, and my mom got tired of the knots in my hair that resulted from wearing hats. She let my aunt cut my hair, and I ended up with a mullet. One of the girls at school told me I looked like a dog.

I am not that tech savvy, so I usually check out the editors' reviews on CNet when I'm looking for new tech purchases. Have you tried looking there? www.cnet.com

Agree. I did not see my own placenta when I gave birth to Little Doo (nor would I have asked to if given the option). I also don't know if I pooped during delivery (another perfectly normal occurrence), because if I did, the doctor and the nurses were kind enough not to point that out to me.

I agree that kids should be able to wear any color they want. When she was 2-3, Little Doo wore out this frilly baby blue and pink top and skirt set I bought her at Costco. For a long time, her favorite color is blue.

Treat Yo Self! I am an Old, so forgive my lack of the appropriate gif.

Happy birthday! I also love Popeye's red beans and rice, and their dirty rice. The only one near me is kind of icky, so I haven't been there in a long time.

I hear you. For Little Doo's 5th and 6th birthday party, I got 90% of the RSVPs that did come in within 24 hours of the party, and several the morning of the party.

I want to say I read something a long time ago that the longer the husband goes without ejaculating, the higher the chance he would generate a boy the next time he had sex. So my guess is the Bible said you produced a worthless girl, so wait a little longer to get those excess female hormones out of there and the…

Yep. Look, Little Doo still wants me to wipe her butt when she poops, so then and if I'm sitting on the floor when she steps into the bathtub I've caught a whiff of ass. If a 6 year old's ass smells like ass, I do not want to go anywhere near an adult's ass.

Me too! I saw someone mentioned them in a comment about a week ago, and I had never heard of them so I went to their website and checked them out. I love samples, although I think I have enough moisturizer and body lotion to last me for at least a year. I signed up for Birchbox yesterday.

I bought Little Doo (6) both of the GoldieBlox sets for Christmas, and they are both sitting unopened in her closet :-(. Lego recently came out with a line of Disney Princess Legos and Little Doo wanted them desperately, in particular the Rapunzel tower. We found them in Target a week ago, and she bought the…

One of my neighbors told me two weeks ago that she takes her son to the Rossmoor library, which has dogs the kids can read to. I didn't know Long Beach has a program as well.
