And that's why I started taking bc pills. No more near-fainting episodes and blinding pain for this woman.

I agree completely. He says in the podcast that he didn't understand most of the paperwork and wished he had gotten an attorney. But from his perspective I can totally see why he didn't even think to hire an attorney. He had no idea the can of worms he was opening by not reading the fine print. And what lay person…

He's got to be faking all this right?? Especially if he's a radio DJ. This seems like the kind of shenanigan that a DJ would pull...I hope.

Listen to the RadioLab podcast for more background on Brown. I thought he was a deadbeat too but he really really wasn't. He just made some poor decisions regarding not hiring a lawyer and trying to do what he thought would make the mom happy.

He actually wanted to marry the mother and take care of all her children. Then before Veronica was even born the mother had a change of heart and stopped speaking to him. When she did text him it was to hound him to give up his rights. RadioLab did a full show about the case. It's more complicated that that, he wanted…

I believe the ICWA is a very important law that should be upheld. And I know Dustin Brown is part of the Cherokee tribe. But he's only 2% Native American and baby Veronica is only 1% Native American. It's really making me question if she needs to be protected as much as a child whom has a much higher percentage of…

The case is much more complex than that. I recommend listening to the RadioLab podcast that covers this story. It's heartbreaking for everyone involved. He should have had a lawyer present when be signed over his rights. As he says in the podcast interview he made that mistake for sure. But the person giving him those…

For an even lazier version of the cheddar bay biscuit, just buy a box of bisquick. (Or they have bisquick brand individual garlic cheddar biscuit packets now too). The Bisquick box has a "cheddar garlic" version recipe somewhere below the regular biscuit recipe, just add cheese basically. Mix that stuff up and just…

I don't want to defend Hobby Lobby at all but I will say that companies can probably (I have no legal background) legally fire people that do things outside of the work place that's against the companies 'moral codes'. For example I'm thinking of stories I've heard about teachers at Christian schools getting fired for…

I realize I should totally be outraged by that cankle article but I was actually thrilled to see it. First, let me explain that I'm a normal human sized lady but I have big 'ol cankles. I could do all kinds of weird exercises and diet to a dangerously low weight and I can fairly well guarantee that my ankles would…

I am a total twitter novice. But I can see how a young teen could get addicted to the short term "fame" from interacting with famous people on twitter. How many shows on tv have a hash tag or two scrolling along the bottom of the screen? Basically all of them. I recently sent a tweet in regards to a news show and the…

I hope she continues to do other skits as well but I agree, I love her doing weekend update! I know Tina Fey generally didn't do other skits but her co-anchor at the time Amy Poehler still did other skits (right?).

And for the snow loving dogs...

Love this! I pretty much always buy one of these books whenever I get invited to a baby shower. Dear friend, your new baby WILL own The Going to Bed book whether you registered for it or not!

I sooo wish this was a real book so I could proudly display it in my kitchen. I would preorder it faster than you can say 2 CHAAAAAINS

I'm so used to seeing Taylor Momsen with her black holes where eyes go that I don't really like her new look. I'm so confused!

Yes, women are definitely socially engineered to want a cleaner house. Because if two people live in a house and other people come visit and the house is a mess the woman is generally judged, not the man (in my narrow experience). If we go to the house that my sister lives in with her boyfriend and the bathroom is…
