Damn, I'm so glad to hear that someone didn't have permanent issues from SDP. I think I have SPD (I'm 27 weeks pregnant) but my OB told me it's just normal growing pains of pregnancy. I was told the same thing last time and the pelvic pain lasted for 15 months postpartum. My "treatment" this time has been to just…

"No shit"

I think for some people its just become a tradition and for others, they just can't resist a great deal. I hate it. This story makes me sad, there is already so much pressure to consume and fill our homes with as much cheap junk as possible. Our family tradition is for my brother and I (and now my own family) to go…

I feel the same, and I don't think it's bad. For me, it is about my level of comfort and confidence and how they're tied to how put-together I feel. The main reason I blow-dry my hair and wear a bit of make-up to work is so I look presentable and not like a slob to my co-workers. On the lazy days where my daughter…

OK, this happened to my best friend (and I) when we were about 18 or 19. She met this guy "Matt". He was nice, funny, and cute. They started dating and we double dated with my boyfriend and hung out as a group for over a year. He lived almost an hour away and didn't have a reliable car so I'd often go with her to…

I've been wondering the same thing. I didn't know his DMV charges were still awaiting court, so I figured he got his license or something.

Also done. Thanks for the reminder! My representative was a co-sponsor on the resolution to de-fund the ACA so I don't expect it to make a difference. At least it feels better to do something rather than sit here in anger.

I just emailed my congressman (Kerry Bentivolio, MI) who was a co-sponsor on the resolution to de-fund the ACA. UGH he's a tea-party nutter who only got elected because some wealthy tea-party guy from out of state funded his election. I copied and pasted your line about being a statesman etc... Feels good to do…

I think you saw my mom! I mean, not really, but I could totally see her doing that while out shopping one of her friends.

High five to a fellow GIS map girl!!

I am a small town (pop. ~98,000) government employee and there is no freaking way that Ann or April could afford that kind of wardrobe. I wish I could afford to spend that kind of money on my work wardrobe! It's usually closer to the $40-$80 range on pants/shirts/dresses for work. Leslie is more likely to afford…

Whoa. I've always thought their sibling relationship was strange. Teresa seems super jealous of her younger brother's wife and their parents (the grandparents) aren't on good terms with Joe. Gross.

This comment thread just made my day :)

I can't stop laughing at this part! I gave up reading the rest of his BS list of requirements and scrolled down to comment on that. What a dork!

On the show, she's mentioned that while she was growing up, her own father would take off with other women for days at a time. So you're probably correct in assuming this is the example she's seen her entire life.

Is this for real!? Really? How did they not make the connection about not letting government play doctor?!?! This is too funny.

My thoughts exactly! I have a co-worker who is sorta a friend except for this one issue. He is very pro-gun and we were talking about it on the afternoon of the Sandy Hook shootings when he mentioned that he didn't like going places where he can't take his gun. His wife wanted to go to Chicago for the weekend (we…

This video has me shuddering and feeling anxious and now I have to go help one of the creepy older guys at work with a computer problem and ughhhh...I hate hate hate unwanted sexual attention or harassment or whatever we call this shit.

My dad didn't say anything ever, but I think it's because he never had to. My mom was so strict about my clothes. I once bought a cute spaghetti strap tank from The Gap that had a v-neck and she stitched a piece of fabric across the front to hide any cleavage. For a school dance, I wore a floor length, black velvet…

I learned so much from "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". It reads like a textbook, but I avoided pregnancy for two years with the rhythm method thanks to understanding what was going on with my body/cycle each month. Once we were ready to start trying, I knew which days I was most fertile and we got pregnant on the…
