Oh geez. I actually laughed when I read this. I thought I was more refined. *hangs head*

Marriage is not two halves making one. Marriage is two wholes overlapping.

There is also that fear of replacing the incumbent with a newbie. Will the newbie know how to handle the ropes and where to grease the wheel? Is anyone else depressed that I just wrote that sentence? Ugh!

That's awful!!! I'm all for being truthful and honest but certain stories just don't need to be told. There is something about pregnancy that makes people jump out of the woodwork to share particularly horrible ones.

Can we also make a rule about prohibiting any person from providing UNSOLICITED stories of pregnancies or births gone wrong? No like, oh, the epidural didn't work but stories that include mortality concerns?

Haha - no worries. I'm just thinking of the totally calculated stuff that Tina Fey's character does to John Hamm's character. I love 30 Rock. I will only half-apologize for my inclusion of it :-) Have fun with the neighbor!

Get it girl / guy! Seeking help sucks sometimes, you think it is a sign of weakness and want to hide from it. However, seeking help can often be the best solution. An uninvolved 3rd party can really help give you proper perspective and a specialist / expert can likely give you tips on how to work past your struggles.…

It's not beer offered you really good advice. Just let it go. Don't try to sneak in little bits of info you know he likes...ala 30 Rock opening the mail episode.

My dad likes to brag that he went to a Bonnie Raitt concert once and she sang almost an entire song to him. She was wandering thru the crowd and stopped by his seat. He's so proud of that. I think it's cute. Whatever works, dad, whatever works.

Not sure about you, but I feel so much shame around what I was part of. It has taken me years to get this far, anonymously confessing this on the Internet.

You are not alone. You are also not alone in feeling deep remorse and hoping to make up for it in some way or another. I'm right there with you. I was 20 and very stupid. I fully take responsibility for my actions. It is a struggle to not hate oneself. I look back and am disgusted with how thoughtless I was. How rude…

I ended up buying two dresses. I ordered one that my analytical mind liked but as my wedding got closer it just didn't feel "right". I was at a bridal shop looking at bridesmaid dresses when I stumbled across their sample sale. They had this gorgeous dress for $99!!! I had to pay $250 for alterations but it was…

What the, whaaaaaaaa???????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I prefer "Two Boxes". Although, "Sister for Sale" is pretty cool too.

She ages nicely. This is even more evident when she is placed next to someone who has not.

Google + pregnancy = OMG-I'M-DYING-ALL-THE-TIME

Seattle's Belltown neighborhood (in between the Space Needle and downtown) is a great place to catch some wicked walks of shame. I used to drive through there on Sunday mornings and my favorite Sundays were after Halloween. It's 7 or 8am and you see some messed up walkers. Costumes askew, missing pieces, smeared make…

I dig what you're saying. I feel it is disgusting that women are told they are at fault when they are attacked. However, I can't ignore the fact that certain situations seem to have a higher risk. Then again, there is risk everywhere. So long as we have a society where we are not actively telling people not to rape…

I like you.

I had a FB exchange with several people this weekend. One guy was asking how else are men supposed to meet women, follow them to a coffee shop to a "social" (his emphasis, not mine) setting? I get that if you saw a hottie on the street, you'd want to talk. This guy was like, "it could be my one and only chance to talk…
