Good. Seriously, folks, just use a washcloth or a loofah or something.

Thank for this reminder, because my daughter is due for her 3rd HPV vaccine this month. Gotta get her in next week. My son gets his 3rd one in February.
And believe it or not, I do have people in my life who have asked me what “message” I am sending my children by getting them these vaccines. I told them the message is…
Ha. Look, don’t get me wrong, those things are delicious. Which is why I buy them for 1/5 the price from fucking TRADER JOE’S.
Oh dear lord in heaven WHAT IS THAT PIECE OF BRILLIANCE FROM?
That’s it. THAT IS THE ONE I WANT TO SEND OUT THIS YEAR.
In my case, the only reason I ever go there is for the Burrito Bowl with extra chicken. Because I can LITERALLY feed myself and BOTH my kids with one of those things. Seriously. The portion is absurdly huge and breaks down to about $3.20 per person. Very convenient fast food... but certainly not authentic.
Oh man, that’s really too bad!!! I hope this phase goes by quickly. Having family/friends nearby saved my ass more than once during my kid’s early years... hang in there!
Same thing happened with my son. I was lucky enough to have the solution, at least for one night: Another adult willing to pull the night shift while I RAN THE FUCK AWAY to a hotel, where I slept for 11 hours.
Don’t worry, it’ll pass.... in the meantime get someone else on Evening Screaming Duty if you possibly can.
I agree with everyone else here - please, please DON’T make it about her weight. And in terms of food, I recommend that instead of banning all junk food, you try to keep her well informed about healthy foods. Trust me when I tell you that if you label some food as ‘bad! evil! stay away ALWAYS’ it will create an a…
OMG YES. I mean, I’m not exactly the Queen of Good Posture, but she slouched soooooo much. Pull your shoulders BACK, child!!!!
1/8 inch of OLIVE OIL. I left that part out!
In terms of Lorelai and Rory - nope, I don’t think they qualify as MPDG, mainly because they are the main characters who have actual story lines and character arcs and all that stuff that MPDG never seem to have. I think they more qualify as Mary Sue characters, but not really, I mean they are so deeply flawed they…
I get nervous cooking fish for many of the same reasons you stated! My number one tip: Get yourself a good instant-read thermometer. Seriously, that’s a good idea for pretty much everything you cook - getting the temperature right. It’s totally worth the money.
Recipe: I’ve found that with salmon, the best way to cook…
Eh, I used to keep superglue in my purse all the time. I had a crappy pair of glasses (my only pair back then) and they kept getting broken right at the hinge. I didn’t have enough money to replace them so about once a week I had to glue them back together. This went on for close to a year. HOWEVER I’d like to think…
Holy shit. I’m so sorry and I’m sending you all kinds of good healing/good news vibes your way. Hang tough and try not to panic - or at least, if you feel the need to panic, make sure you’ve got some friends nearby to hold your hand put on movies to distract you. Wait to see what the doctors say. And hang in there.
My husband and I are just like that. Going on 15 years now. You CAN bridge the divide.
Thanks for that :) The doc already approved higher-strength Ibuprofen, but not really high enough to truly control the pain. Part of the problem with pain meds is that she only weighs about 80 lbs, and they’re nervous about overmedicating her at the weight. She’s tiny but fully developed. It’s been a hard year for her…
My daughter, who is turning 12 in a few months, just starting getting her period. And she is MISERABLE. She bleed SO much, she’s in SO much pain. She was really excited to be getting her period at first, but the poor kid is having her whole life disrupted for 4 days every month. Like, way worse than I ever…
I’d really, really like to believe that this is simply a case of not thinking it through... but that is perhaps naive...
Wow. Just - wow. That email was so massively unprofessional and kind of weird.
