Sometimes you do. A few years ago I saw The Book of Mormon. During the last few minutes of the first act I felt my stomach cramping up. Luckily my seat was near an exit, so as soon as the song ended I bolted out the door and to the ladies room. Unfortunately I got the first stall near the door, so I spent my 10…

I'm not sad at all about Scalia. I started thinking it was an act of God as soon as I read that the SC had blocked the climate change legislation pending the court case. Don't mess with His creation.

No, he chose to have sex, which resulted in these children. If he didn’t want kids, there are plenty of ways he (and your male friend you mentioned in another comment) could have made sure he didn’t have children. He could have had a vasectomy. He could have used condoms, or had his partners use the female condom, and…

Cornflower blue is my favorite color too! I miss my VW Passat - some of the nighttime dashboard lights were that color. I’m a minivan mom now.

I had Ipsy for over a year. I think I was on the wait list for about a month before I was able to subscribe.

The dollar store carries pregnancy tests, at least the ones near me do.

Don't blame yourself for the bald spot. I never learned how to do my brows. It wasn't a thing when I was in high school (I'm in my mid 40s). I don't think I did anything with them in my 20s except pluck a few stray hairs noticeably outside my brow area. I started having them done in my 30s, and I haven't been able to…

I am jealous! Your story about meeting her made me cry, and I’m not even an attorney. That story that Jezebel posted earlier this week (last week?) about the justices giving the TX abortion restrictors hell made my week.

I'm 50 lbs heavier than I was in high school/early twenties and sadly very little of it went to my boobs. My belly is much bigger than my chest.

My son had an ear infection last year around this time, when he was 9 months old. He would scream at night before bed, and wake up screaming during the night. We were out of town on Spring Break, so this lasted 3 nights before I got home and got him to the pediatrician. The last 3 times he was ill, and woke up crying…

I’m the standard height and weight for the average (middle-aged) American woman. I’m wearing a 14-16 in jeans. I never shopped VS much, but I stopped completely a few years ago because even their XL didn’t give me enough coverage for my rear. It must be the way they cut the backside, because I’ve found I’m wearing the…

Thank you. I don’t think he’s stiff - I remember him bending down and pushing his trucks around yesterday afternoon after the ibuprofen kicked in. But his temperature was a little higher today which makes me nervous. I agree, if the fever hasn’t broken by tomorrow morning, or if he develops any other symptoms, I’ll…

Oh geez. Thank you for this. The Little Dude is 21 months and has had all of his vaccinations, but he’s been running a low-grade fever for the last 2 days and he’s been lethargic after waking up. I called his pediatrician last night and they said they could get him in today, but he wasn’t running a fever this morning.…

Yes. I'm working for an architect and he's had to downsize from 11 people to 3.

Yep, just like 99% of the widowed architects on dating websites are Nigerian scammers. As I get older the likelihood of them actually being widowers increases, but if they’re under 60 chances are pretty high they’re either scammers or Scott Peterson.

Electric pumps work much better than manual pumps. I never had a manual pump. I can’t imagine having to manually pump for ten full minutes. So if you need an outlet, a lot of times the only place you can find privacy (no glass conference room windows or doors/ limited chance of a man bursting in) and an outlet is a…

Wow! We have small Brownie troop. My daughter hit her goal of 200 boxes, and we’re done. It's difficult going door to door with an 8 year old and a toddler. One of the girls set a goal of 600 boxes, but she's not going to make it. I think the most any of our girls will sell this year is 400, if that.

The Troop’s profits are actually much lower than $2,500. Their proceeds are $2,500; their profits would be $475. The Troop only gets to keep $0.95 per box. The other $4.05 goes to the bakery and the Council.

Ha! Mama Doo said the same thing about AA. She said that after all that talk about drinking, she'd stop and buy wine on the way home. She gave up on AA but not on the wine. I think my addiction is to sugar. I hardly ever drink, but try and take away my sugar and I will cut you. I wish I could stop because I'm 40+ lbs…

Thank you for that! Looking back at it now, that preschool caregiver was an asshole. I don’t believe my daughter was the only child who ever touched herself in the history of their daycare.
