SoftWalks, available on Zappos. They have the egg-crate footbed. They are like walking on a cloud. Plus some of the styles are adjustable, which helps if your feet swell.

SoftWalk, carried by Zappos. Yes, that is the egg-crate mattress footbed. I wore the fugliest pair (not this style) when I was pregnant with Little Doo. After 5-6 years I gave them to my mom, and I bought myself a new pair last summer. Every pair of shoes but these and my sneakers hurt my feet. I'm 6.5 months…

The vanilla creme Peeps at Target are delicious.

The buttered popcorn flavor makes me sick to my stomach. You can have all of mine - whenever I get a package, I pick all of the buttered popcorn ones out and throw them away.

My grandfather refused to move into assisted living or a nursing home because "those people are old" and he isn't. I visited him in January, and I knew he was going to fall again because he was taking risks he shouldn't have taken. He walked across a rocky area with his walker, and when I went to take a picture of…

He believes there will be a cure for aging — that real life-extending technologies will be developed.

I'm sorry you are going through this as well. This isn't even my worst restaurant story with her, unfortunately. Alcoholism is rough, especially when the person doesn't want treatment. I think my mother is still in "Leaving Las Vegas" mode, where she thinks she's going to drink herself to death. It's really…

Or it could be other issues that have nothing to do with age.

Sassafras would make an awesome nickname.

Happy birthday to us. It's my birthday today too, but I'm 10 years older than you are. I was working in NM when Columbine happened.

I remember masturbating at nap time when I was in preschool, but I didn't have my first orgasm until I had my first boyfriend at 28. I faked orgasms at first. When I told him I wasn't really having them, he said "why do girls do that ?!?!?" He was considerate enough to really care about my pleasure, helped me have…

I have a few, some of which I had forgotten about until reading the other comments jogged my memory.

My uncle is a salesman and belongs to a country club. To ensure that he meets his annual required spending, we usually had at least one family holiday meal (usually Easter, sometimes Mother's Day) at the club. The buffet is $50, which I think is a lot. But I generally hate buffets because I think the food is lousy;…

I have never been little. The worst for me was seeing myself in my hairdresser's full-length mirror last week. This one is my second, and my last, so I know that my body is MINE after he is born. For right now I'm walking every day, and I plan to go back to pilates after the birth. Maybe you're looking bigger than…

I'm so sorry to hear that. I've been going through the same thing, unfortunately from my mother. I'm 42, 27 weeks pregnant, and I was overweight when I got pregnant. I've only put on about 20 pounds, which I think is reasonable, and my doctor also says my weight is fine. My mother on the other hand has told me…

I have several condoms that are a year or two away from expiration, and no plans to use them. I gave a handful to my friend with a teenage son. I believe she told him to practice putting them on, and as per Dan Savage, to masturbate with them on so he gets used to the feeling (and to climaxing with one on). I plan…

Agreed, but honestly I think it's a bigger issue for heterosexual couples because they can have an "oops" baby, and a woman pursuing IVF or IUI can't. An IVF or IUI child is very much wanted and planned for. There are three heterosexual couples on my block whose third child was unplanned (one lady got pregnant with…

And then there are these people. What about what was best for these children, who HAD biological parents that they knew?

Yes, exactly what I was coming here to say. When Little Doo was an infant, the recommendation was still to have them rear-facing until age 1 and then turn them around. She has been in the 95% for height since she was around 9 months old, so I don't know how she would have fit rear-facing until age 2 with her long…

I think I can answer some of these questions for you. I am divorced with a 6 year old daughter. I wanted a second child; my ex-husband did not (that was not the primary factor in our divorce). Last year I decided I would try IUI (I did not need IVF) through the end of 2013. If I conceived a child, great, if not,…
