I'm a lifter myself, but I think we have to be very careful about the whole "strong is the new skinny". It's all imposing limits on how women are supposed to appear, and it's equally dangerous.

I'm glad my mother raised me the way she did. I can't imagine how tough that must have been for you!

My husband slaps my thighs, shaped by years of weighted squats and says "damn! That's sexy as fuck, they are solid!" And that's why I love him. He KNOWS I can save our kids from a zombie attack.

For a second there I was all judgy - "man keeping half a big mac is gross!"- and then I remembered we used to buy ten cheeseburgers and take them scrub with us, un-refrigerated, and eat ONE a DAY. So you do you, lovely lady!

Kind of apt the video ends with him walking off down the street. Alone.

My two year old says "trickle treat".

Here's a quick way to tell if something is for boys or girls, and if it matters:

I'm currently studying childhood development, and a period where kids are uncomfortable with their appearance is totally normal.... BUT, I think some people never grow out of this.

Nah, sometimes I actually successfully send her messages. It's cool watching her get it.

Ok, THAT is freaky...

Wow, scary!

Why thank you, you're very kind.

Anyone else have a dog embarrassed by their appearance? My German Shepherd had a terrible clip once, far too short everywhere except the head, which was left long - she looked like a lion. I made the mistake of laughing just once, when I first saw her, and then she was all funny and shy for weeks, until it grew back…

My Cavalier King Charles is afraid of Christmas lights. The first time he freaked out I thought someone was trying to get in over our back fence... then I discover the neighbours had just decorated their roof. Stupid little ball of love.

The thing I like most about "Mr Doobypants" is that for successive generations to know his name without prior introductions, he would have to had to have introduced himself, using the name Mr Doobypants.
