Yes. It’s the status of it and the fact that it says you’re in a certain type of educated/cool NPR listener.

Yes. I think of my sister. She has never listened to rap or hip hop a day in her life. She has no love for Broadway and hasn’t seen a musical since my parents bought us tickets to Phantom when we were in high school - yet I noticed she follows Lin on Facebook now and keeps liking his status updates. I asked her if she…

Agreed. I’ve dealt with depression at least twice in my life where I needed help to crawl out from under it. I realize that I was a self-absorbed asshole during those times. The first time, a close friend of more than 10 years stopped talking to me. Fortunately, years later I was able to reconnect with her and I…

Someone told me it isn’t as bad when it’s your kid. I must be a terrible mother but it’s just as bad. With other people’s children when they’re being loud or annoying you at least have the brief relief of “Oh thank God, that’s not mine.” but when it’s your child being loud in a public place it’s not only like “What’s…

I love Connie Britton but she looks like she has to go pee pee in the potty every time she dances on stage.

Mine also shrank after kids. The children sucked them dry.

This article is well-timed. I am going on an international flight in a month and I am fairly flat-chested and figured I’d buy a bralette so I’m a bit more comfortable on the plane than in my normal underwire one. I just don’t want to show off my nips to the world.

If you live near a Brooks Brothers outlet, 365, they’re not too bad in price.

It coasts entirely on Memory which is a beautiful song but everything else in it is an abysmal hot mess. Fucking rumpleteezer and mungojerie. and then the fucking cats sit on the stage and lick themselves watching you during intermission. I DON’T NEED THIS SHIT!

What’s disappointing is that in my experience, these shows are showing marriages that are way happier than the reality. I had to turn off Catastrophe because the couple communicates better and has more sex than me.

There is some research out there that says the the live active cultures in yogurt help prevent the issues and hard cheeses have less lactose than others. But yes, even with that, my body has gotten better in time. Brie and milk are the two that will still kill me. But I used to not even be able to eat a slice of pizza…

I’m lactose intolerant so I’ve found that drinking a milkshake or eating some brie is a delicious way to “detox” my body.

I was a super weird kid and watched Dateline all the time and I distinctly remember a whole episode (maybe it was 20/20?) in the late 80s about a few death’s from diet tea. This is the only thing I can find on it.

I looked into Class Pass in St. Louis - it was $75/month. My own gym is $35/month and it’s pretty damn good. It just didn’t make financial sense to do the class pass. A friend of mine worked out in the burbs but lives in the city so she did it for a while because she could work out near her office some days but near…

For my first child, I gave birth in a city far away from family. Daycare was hella expensive so we were saving for that and didn’t ever splurge to hire a sitter for a date. We did not go out for the first year of my son’s life and it is my biggest regret because it really affected the marriage. It’s OK to have fun.…

When I lived in Chicago, the Kindercare cost $465/week. This was about 8 years ago. I was at a Target and the lady at the register was really good with my baby - making faces, talking to him. She then said “I love babies! I also work at the Kindercare during the week and here during the weekends” - so this woman…

That is the kiss of a marriage without orgasms.

I need to get the other ones. I only have Ethyl and Bette and I prefer Bette.

There’s a made-for-TV version with Bette Midler that is awesome. It used to be on Netflix.

It’s a really pretentious way to say something that I really agree with. So I agree with the thought but am making this face at the wording.
