Sure.  I gave birth at ages 35 and 42(!!!).

I am so sorry.

I am 8 years post-divorce.  5 years ago, I bought sperm from a sperm bank, and now I have a 4 year old child I adore and who adores me.  Those first few years were really difficult, because I didn’t have any family close by who could help me, but I made it.  I haven’t really dated in the last 6 years, but that’s more…

I would swear that was Jeff Daniels.

Party at the school?  My son’s preschool allows the parents to have rental jumpers delivered to the school, and the jumper company even had a discount for schools.  The classes take turns in the jumper.  $100 for an all-day bounce house rental + $15 for Sam’s Club cupcakes = 0 mess at home.

How can we get more people to vote, particularly POC?  I’m a permanent absentee voter, so I get the ballots mailed to my house.  Do people know this is an option (at least in CA)?

You can buy the LH strips for cheap on Amazon. Pee in dixie cup a few days around your predicted ovulation date, dip the strip to determine if you’re ovulating, and bam! That method resulted in Little Doo and the Little Dude. Good luck to you!

It looks like she’s wearing two separate engagement rings.  It’s not cohesive at all.

My little guy is a sweetheart too and likes to cuddle, so I will miss that too when he outgrows it.  I’m an introvert, so I’m missing the alone time.  But you’re right, missing the mental companionship is the key.  It’s hardest for me when the kids are being difficult or fighting, and you don’t have that other adult…

Yep.  Mid 40's, 2 children under 10, and all I want is to be left the hell alone.  Every once in a while I wish I had a life partner, but online dating was depressing the last time I tried it, and honestly, there hasn’t been anyone I’ve been really attracted to in decades.  Once the kids finally leave me alone, I just…

LOL, at least he’s trying! I think my son is trying to see how high he can make his stream. He peed on his own forehead last week.

Ah, but would you buy a monster truck :-) ?

I chuckled out loud at “smells like goats”. I have a 4 yo boy, so right now everything smells like pee. He seems to view his penis as his personal water gun, and he prefers to pee anywhere but in the toilet (bathtub, shower, out front on the grass).

Exactly. All I could think was “she’s having a c-section anyway, why not get your tubes tied while you’re already sliced open?” I only have 2 children, and I have ZERO desire to have any more, but my OB asked me several times and did the tubal ligation as part of my c-section. I had pre-eclampsia, which is why I had…

Nope, still not working. It’s either a problem with Firefox, my ad blocker, or maybe the antivirus. I haven’t been able to vote yet. The same thing happened on the first round, and I thought it was just me, that I missed where we were supposed to vote.

Help out an Old here - how the heck do we vote? I’m not seeing any voting buttons. When I enlarge the bracket, all I see is a picture and not any way to vote. Is it because of my browser?

I have the Clarisonic Mia 2. I’m in my mid 40s, and I noticed that my chest was starting to look a little leatherneck-y. I put the Clarisonic in the shower and started using it to wash my face, neck and chest every morning, and I swear the daily exfoliation has helped.

It’s definitely more popular with the little girls. My daughter’s Troop started out with 12 of the 14 girls in her kindergarten class participating, and we’re down to 7 girls now (5 from K, 2 new). I’ve heard there’s a big drop in participation once they reach middle school. Two of the older girls in our neighborhood…

No, different areas of the country start selling at different times, so I imagine boothing starts at different times too. My cousin’s daughter in NY starting selling about a week before we did.
