kinja!!!!!! *shakes fist*

i'm sorry and/or congratulations, whichever is more appropriate.

i'm so sorry for your loss. *hugs*

i don't have any real advice, here, because you can't just turn off feelings like a light switch, but it's completely possible to be in love with more than one person at a time. i am, and have been for a long time. in your situation, though, i'd say that it's not a healthy thing.

oh, hon... i'm sorry. bedrest sounds like a dream, but after about the first 3 or 4 days, it's awful. i've been there... went into labour with my 4th at 28 weeks. the doctor was able to stop it with drugs and after a couple days in the hospital, sent me home to exactly the kind of strict bedrest you're describing.

not 2 hours ago, i announced that i can't wait for school to start up again. it's especially unfair, because school was called off on Friday on account of ice storms, so i got an extra day of kids/one less day to get ready for holidays in peace. it's utterly amazing how much noise and mess 4 boys can make.

oh, i hate it when they actually are right! husband makes a huge-damn-deal out of a teeny cold, so i told him to suck it up and soldier on when he actually had double pneumonia... yeah, i felt like an ass, and i'll never live it down, either.

While I can't think of any religious groups or cults that push polyandry (multiple husbands), there is always good, old, secular polyamory, which is simply multiple consenting adults of whatever gender in a relationship.

This. Thank you.

My husbands and I object to this "hell on earth" idea!

My husbands and I object to being labeled as a cult :)

Other-husband and i are exactly the same height. we also have exactly the same size hands and feet, but my inseam is 6 inches longer than his!

such a well written article about such an unhappy subject. Dasani has such potential... if only she can avoid all the things that so often drag down a girl in her position. she has a strong family, even if it's a bit messed up, so she has that going for her. i truly hope that they can stay in their new apartment and…

You are most welcome! Hope you enjoy them as much as I did :)

Probably dozens lol. Let's see... Food In History by Reay Tannahill, A History of The World In 6 Glasses and/or An Edible History of Humanity by Tom Standage, The Food of A Younger Land by Mark Kurlansky, A Thousand Years Over A Hot Stove by Laura Schenone, Fannie's Last Supper by Chris Kimball.

I'm currently reading Blood & Beauty: The Borgias by Sarah Dunant for my fiction and Pickled, Potted, and Canned: The Story of Food Preservation by Sue Shepard for my nonfiction.

The TeenChild actually gets up in the middle of the night to eat. Last night it was 3 sandwiches and an entire 2lb bag of popcorn chicken. The 12 and 10 year olds aren't quite that bad, but the 9 year old gives the TeenChild some serious competition. If I want to eat something, I better eat it fast, because it will…

high five I produced more males than I know what to do with, too, and the only other female around is the cat! I'm lucky they all leave the house fully dressed, let alone colour coordinated.

when i was a kid, nothing was open past about noon on Thanksgiving except for gas stations, and even then, there was usually only 1 or 2 that stayed open. i don't recall dying for lack of cheap electronics on a holiday...

while i can't agree that anyone deserves to get shot for shopping, i do agree with the general sentiment. i think these sales are crap, and i am ESPECIALLY pissed that Thanksgiving itself has been taken over. NOBODY "needs" to buy over-priced, fake-markdown-ed crap on a holiday.
