Thank you all for your kinds words.

My husband and I had to make the difficult decision to terminate for medical reasons (TFMR) my pregnancy at 20 weeks because our son was missing half of his brain (among other malformations). 9/2 will be one month since we said good-bye; and is also the estimated due date from the embryo we lost at ~6ish weeks in…

It does suggest, at least in part, that one is not particularly Syrious about the subject.

Well, I guess it all makes sense now.

Shut. Up.

I think you could buy one of these:

Girl, I feel you - I've been on SSRIs for most of my adult life and if I have learned anything it is DO NOT GO OFF YOUR MEDS.

My daily prescribed happy pill is an ODT, which means orally disintegrating tablet. It's disgusting, but required for my mental well-being. Every morning I look at it in disgust, screw up my nose, pop that thing in my mouth, and say out loud with exaggerated relish, "Tastes like stability!"

Thanks for the encouragement! They really have been very good to me in the past. Last time I went off them for two years and was good for a long time. I just didn't want to face the fact that I probably can't do that again. I guess, as I get older (48) things are changing.
Keep on yours! If they work, it's worth it.

It can be hard to have that perspective, so it's great that you're able to see it. I'm really sorry you're dealing with this.

Morning with your coffee or tea. Just make that a habit. I hate taking mine mine too, but without them I'm so screwed, so now I just do it with the tea in the am, and don't even thin about it

I feel like Pamela Anderson will rock bikinis until the day she dies and be buried in one. I think the bikini is her daemon familiar.

For people who haven't followed this and don't understand the controversy (or, in the alternative, think that "Redskin" isn't a slur, it was a different time, this is PC run amok, it was never intended in a bad way, etc. etc.) please read up on George Preston Marshall, who bought the team when they were known as the…

The fact that somewhere out there there is a chemist who's face has lit up with joy at the prospect of figuring out how to dispose of this thing is the one point of light I am focusing on to blot out the horror of this thing's existence.

Lem and Phil say:

Jezebel!!!!! OMG!!!!! Thank you SO MUCH for featuring my project!!! I cannot believe my fifth grade face is being featured on one of my favorite sites! Thanks for getting my message across correctly! I'm so happy I can't stand it! :)

Art is all about overcoming the limitations of the medium. Here's pencil and paper; draw a realistic looking sunset. That's the art part.

Yeah, this is my state, all right.

One year at a conference these were handed out from a pro-life info booth. My sister and her friends collected them (kids between the ages of 12 and 15), then they found a spooning couple taking a nap in the grass outside the conference and made a ring of tiny fetuses around them. Then, she hid and watched as the guy…

When I was a child- I may have been 9- my mother dragged me and my siblings to a 'Pro-Life Rally' affiliated with our church where we were made to carry signs we did not understand and give people THESE DOLLS after they had been covered in red jello. We carried them in a tin wash bucket. At the same time, we had to…
