Oh thank GOD someone else noticed that! I know I'm from the South and we have a whole different set of fashion rules (namely that what you wear should be something lime green with large, beachy flowers on it apparently) but I've done a shit ton of work in NYC and never once saw anyone dressed like her. I watched that…

I never changed my name. Didn't do the hyphen thing, though sometimes I sign it that way for school forms, etc. to make things easier for teachers who don't get the whole 'we're married, we've been married the entire time, we have different last names' thing.

Wow. Talk about clutching pearls - the baby's dress, as seen in the photo to the right, is at a perfectly normal height. When she's in the above photo she is crawling on the dress and it's obviously being pulled down by her own weight. Not by parents trying to sexualize her.

In other news, water is wet and at night it gets dark...

Communication is such an important factor here. When I first began having sex I too was like you; I felt like I had to rock my hips a certain way when I was on top because the women in the movies and in porn did. I wanted to appear sexy and interested, even when I wasn't feeling it.

Wow, had to go look and sure enough the kid's literally laying on the door mat!! As if I didn't have enough reason to dislike that woman.

Yes. It has to be that she is a lower human being for her looks and is desperate. It couldn't possibly be that she is a great conversationalist, a wonderful human being or someone who rocks in bed. Because, of course, ugly women don't deserve to be happy. They deserve to be thankful.

As the mom of two boys and two girls I found myself wondering how I would react if my sons began playing with dolls or wearing nail polish, as my nephew did. I realized that I loved my nephew for being himself; a silly, crazy, amazing little boy with a flair for pretty things. I knew I'd love my boys the same.

I watched the pilot of Body of Proof. That was enough. How about instead of getting pissed over asshole execs putting you up against each other, you get pissed about asshole execs that you put in trite melodrama's with poor writing, directing and story lines.

She was having seizures in utero. When she was born she was diagnosed with Hemimegalencephly, a disease which is causing the right side of her brain to swell so greatly that she has almost non-stop seizure activity. Basically, the only way to save her life is to remove the diseased part.

Today we held a fishing tournament for the five month old daughter of my friend and coworker who has to have the right hemisphere of her brain removed. We raised 11 thousand dollars so far and there are still funds to count. Had soooo much fun and for such an amazing cause!

I wish I could take credit but that girl worked her tookus off :) Now I've got two more to head off next year!! This summer is gonna be spent realizing how much is gonna be spent soon!!

My eldest just graduated high school today!!! She's going to college in the fall for pre-law (yes, I know...don't rain on the parade, lol). I've got such an incredible mix of happiness and sappy sadness going on right now. I raised such an amazing human being. But because of that she's fully ready and able to stand…

This is a question I've been asking myself recently. I fell in love for the first time in my life...felt vulnerable yet gave in. He loved me back, asked me to marry him. Then for reasons beyond either of our controls our relationship had to end. I've wondered why I can't seem to get over him fully. Every time I feel…

Your words made me smile - and kept the fire stoked. I hope that my daughters will raise strong women as daughters themselves and the cycle will only get better.

Thank you for that. I just wanted my daughters to be better at standing up for themselves then I did for me.

Agreed. Too difficult to prosecute even when you go to police the instant you have freedom. :/

I know, the thought that she was so full of self recrimination for having parked where her deputy father warned her not to kills me. I am, however, proud of my own daughter who had the guts to come to us and tell us. A few weeks ago she also was the only on in TWO high schools who watched a video of a girl getting…

Sadly it sounds like your mother had her own issues and you were, unfortunately, the one she could take things out on. Also, sadly, she sounds exactly like my mother.
