OMG this is my pet peeve! What is it with seasonally appropriate clothes being unavailable? I have 2 kids and apparently I was supposed to get their spring coats back in February. I guess I should get them a swimsuit now because they'll start displaying fall clothes in late June here in Michigan when it finally

Just chiming in to wish you luck on your VBAC. I had a drug free one 6 weeks ago, and it was a great experience.

Yeah, what the hell?

My sister (in-law) is going to New Delhi in a couple days for a 2 week long business trip. She's traveling with another female co-worker. I'm soo worried, and pissed off that I even have to be worried. She knows how to be aware of her surroundings. She's a tough hockey goalie on her hockey team. She's a mother of

Yes, it's like the worst hangover ever because you don't have the benefit of having a great time the night before to make it worth it, and it lasts for weeks.

I'm going stir crazy. Today is my due date and I'm gonna cry when I'm go to work Monday because I'm still pregnant.

Yes, her OB told her it's probably a blood sugar issue and to eat more protein/fat and eat more often. After a day or two of the chia seeds, and after I got real with her on the phone about how your baby needs you to eat fat, she went and bought cheese sticks, mixed nuts, yogurt, and other easy to pack snacks to eat

Ugh. Chia annoys the shit out of me right now. My BFF is pregnant for the first time, and now in her 3rd trimester. I am also pregnant, due in 5 days, with my second. Anyways, she got very healthy a few years ago. Stopped eating junk food, started exercising daily, juices every morning, all good. The past few

You have my empathy. I don't have any good advice to your specific case, but feel free to vent here whenever needed! My in-laws make lots of bad decisions and my husband and I have had to bail them out, financially, many times. We always say, this is the last time, but when it's freezing out and they can't afford

That sounds fun!

What the F are you telling me?!?! That looks like Moriarty and Sherlock laughing together on the roof. Were they in on the suicide thing together? Was it all staged from the beginning? Are these two hot super geniuses secret best buddies? Actually, please don't tell me. I'll wait and see in a few weeks. I can't

Christmas came early!

I can't wait to get drunk again someday. I'm 9.5 months pregnant and kinda pissed that I'll be stone cold sober while the rest of my Polish family is downing vodka shots all night tomorrow. Oh well. Once the baby is a couple months old and I get enough sleep to function in public, I'm gonna be the cheapest date ever.

It's been quite an entertaining week on FB for me too. The hypocrisy is baffling.

Yeah, why is no one talking about his racist remarks? They seemed worse to me, not that it's a contest on who is the most oppressed or offended. At least in his backwards mind, his anti-gay remarks stem from his religious beliefs.

Thank you. Now if only more people could understand this basic concept. I might have to post this to FB and sit back and watch the ensuing storm. Sounds like a fun distraction from work.

This reminds me of how I used stumble home, take a B vitamin with a full glass of water, and pass out. I swear I felt better the next day if I remembered to take it, but I'm thinking it had more to do with the water and less to do with the vitamin.

That's a great point. My relative reads so much on the mercola website that she's becoming anti-vaccine. However when she got really sick last month and her home remedies weren't working, she was a-ok filling her prescription for an albuterol inhaler that the doctor gave her.

I've noticed that the people who tend to follow Dr. Mercola and other natural health news sites, tend to not have any serious "real" life problems to worry about. The friends and family I have who believe this stuff are all living comfortable middle-class lives with plenty of free time.

That's a thought! No, not I, but my husband daydreams about it all the time. I think he'd be great too, he's very intelligent and enjoys debating people and is pretty quick witted. Not implying that I'm also not intelligent or informed. I am, but I'm not very good at debates, my temper gets the best of me. But
