I had a bunch of weird symptoms earlier this year so I scheduled a physical with my doctor to figure out what was up. She brushed off my concerns, said I should focus/meditate more to feel less stressed, and said that I didn't need blood work because I was so healthy. She didn't even examine me other than to listen

Ha, see I must be going through this craving now because pretzels dipped in buffalo sauce sounds amazing! I'm officially going to B-dubs for lunch for some buffalo flavored something.

Ha! Good plan.

I'm pregnant and I really want some buffalo wings after seeing that picture.

Oh I hate those "real adults" lol. One guy in my office spends so much time wandering around telling everyone how busy and overworked and under appreciated he is. I just want to shake him and say, well, maybe if you didn't waste 40 minutes bitching about how busy you are, you wouldn't be so damn busy?! I think some

My friends husband dressed up as Bill Cosby at their halloween party a few years ago. All he needed to wear was the classic sweater and a wig, but he went ahead and painted his face and hands too. And I was disappointed in my friends.

Google "No-poo". My friend and co-worker started the "no-poo" thing a few months ago and her hair is gorgeous. She's white and has thick straight hair, and for the first week or two it was greasy and she had to wear it slicked back or braided. But ever since, it's looked shiny, healthy, gorgeous. I want to try it

Well said. I encourage new mom's to at least give it a try, but know ahead of time that it can be very difficult and it's a big commitment.

I hear ya. I went back to work when my daughter was 11 weeks old and ended up going into survival mode and feeling crazy. I had no appetite, was very sad and angry for being trapped at work (I felt like I had zero control over the situation, thus the trapped feeling), and felt physical pain at being separated from

Aw shit. I'm pregnant now with my second. When she is born, her sister will be 2.5 years old and I'll be (most likely) recovering from a c-section. My husband *thinks* he can get 2 weeks off work to help, but part of that time will be spent while I'm in the hospital, so really, he'll only have 1.5 weeks home with

I just read about "RATs" yesterday. I wonder if the hackers can access tablet and smart phone cameras too? It's very creepy.

I know that feeling! After over a year of nursing, it felt so weird to be able to dress in a way that didn't require quick boob access.

I don't know how to respond. To me, breastfeeding is about feeding a child. I'm sorry, I wish I had time to write out a more thought out response, but I don't.

Nursing a baby isn't sexual. There is no comparison here.

Ugh, I know right!? Like, it's sooo annoying when people in public spaces aren't groomed and dressed appropriately to MY high standards. Why should I be expected to turn my head and look away when THEY can just as easily cover themselves with a cute blanket or put on some not-gross mandals!?

Yeah, that's what I've learned. It might take a bit longer to let my daughter put on her own shirt/pants, but if I keep doing it for her because it's easier and faster, how will she learn to do it herself?

No, it's in SE Michigan.

My husband and I met at daycare to pick our kid up early one day. We were both stunned to walk into her classroom full of one and two year olds sitting quietly around the table (not strapped into highchairs) using real plates and forks (not kiddie versions) using real cups (not even sippy cups!) and getting up when

Monkey legs! My mom taught my brother and I that when we were little and now I use the same trick on my 1 year old.

Now I really wanna go play some Mario Kart. I used to kill it as Wario back in the day. The dirt bike level was my favorite.
