I think you need to give yourself a break. You've got a lot on your plate, that's certain - but at your heart you're still you and you have basic rights not to have to date/sleep with a guy just because he helps you out. Which is something your gut is already telling you - don't second guess yourself just because…

I thought that was a rather well engineered thong at first glance.

I thought it was the same couple as you. I remember the same National Geo article so this is gonna drive me nuts till I find them!

While he has never made it public exactly how much the children were paid for acting in the movie, Danny Boyle has paid for their living expenses, their school expenses and set up a trust for them once they complete school. Rubina Ali's father tried to sell her. I think perhaps a trust was the best decision in this…

You've a point, though I have the urge to yell "Take your 'making sense' garbage in the other room and leave me to my fantasies!" in your general direction.

Sounds just like my ex.

How is 8 a deal breaker.

I just...there's literally no words to describe the tawdry, soft core porn writing layered ever so beautifully with the biblical texts. That simply cannot be for real. I spent the entire time laughing and wondering who the wonderfully witty prankster was behind this so obviously fake account.

No, you're not projecting. Vivi has said it herself plain out - she doesn't want to dance but her mom want's her to.

Hearted for having a cool grampa!

"...and while she does hold Bravo accountable for her brother's death..."

I get that. And it's really luck more than anything. My 17 year old got a Blackberry pearl - brand new mind you - from a friend who's (very) wealthy parents bought her one and then bought her a new iPhone too. And my 18 year old got one of the new iPhones from a friend that had cracked the screen and just went out and…

Thank you! Yes, that's the word I was trying to get at yet completely missed; dignity.

If I wanted them I could have them for free myself - I have a gazillion friends who do them. Which is how I get free makeovers and lovely skin creams and lots of other fun little things. I also got free massages (BFF went through massage school and had to acquire so many hours - it was a ROUGH go, let me tell you!).

I just wanted to remark for a moment on the whole 'poor people wearing name brand shoes and having an iPhone' thing.

How I wish this weren't true but that couldn't be more spot on for me. I spend my entire 30 minute commute home stressing because I have to get there in time to do a/b/c or d. Wondering how much damage the husband and kids have done to the house since I've left and what I'll have to clean up. Wondering if he took out…

I sent you a msg ;)

Meh, it happens, I promise. After my first it took about two months of eating right and working out. The second and third about the same. The fourth was a little longer because of the c-section. But all in all it was good.

Four kids - three of em natural and one C-Section. The pain of that C-section was intolerable and miserable and awful compared to the nothing that was vaginal birth. If I ever did it again (Dear GOD I hope someone punches me in the face if I ever say that and mean it) I wouldn't have a C-Section if someone paid me a…

It's so wrong that I literally laughed out loud to this.
