Well, this is timely. I'm breaking up with my therapist tomorrow. Actually, re-breaking up. I told her a few weeks ago that I thought I wanted to stop. Her face just transformed into anger. It was so weird. I had a hard time looking at her when she pressed me on why I wanted to stop. We agreed to give it some…

So, Gold Award is the highest level of Girl Scout? Is it equivalent to Eagle Scout? I ask because achieving Eagle Scout seems to be such a high honor and excellent for the college applications and it doesn't sound like Girl Scouts provides an honor with the same clout.

Yup, I can't taste the difference either. All I can detect is the tannins and I don't like them. So, I don't go out of the way to drink wine. However, I do love beer and I can detect a quality brew. Mmmmm BEER!

Ugh! I think I had a Kirk Cameron poster on my wall for a quick second in the late 80s. Happily, I remember replacing him with Neil Patrick Harris when Doogie Howser came into my life. It's good to know my tastes improved quickly during my tweenhood.

I long ago stopped drinking sweetened drinks and now stick primarily to water, flavored seltzer and unsweetened ice tea (this being my favorite). I've only met two other people who do the same. The rest who are worried about sugar cut back by going to diet soda, but if the food health hazard of the week news is to…

Its correct pronunciation is:

I was a big proponent of "healthy at any size" for myself, but unfortunately with the weight I've gained the last few years coupled with hereditary hypertension, I'm no longer healthy at my size. The blood pressure may have really fucked some stuff up. I wish I paid better attention. Oh well, time to start paying…

I declare that this study (retroactively) justifies my $30 purchase of Aveda's Rosemary Mint shampoo.

But really, is it a fair fight if Batman needs to bring Kryptonite (all of its various forms) into it?

I'd say that half my friends have kept their names and some that took their husband's surprised me. However, we are all supportive of each other. As for family, no one has said anything negative to me (or acted passive aggressive) despite the fact that I'm the only one on both sides of the family who has kept her…

Ugh! I wish I could see the cute. All I see is obnoxious precociousness.

Nadolol has changed my life. It has kept the migraines at bay and it is protecting my heart. I really didn't want to be on medication full- time at my youngish age, but my quality of life has vastly improved. I've had migraines since my early 20s and I just dealt with it on my own (with OTC Excedrin Migraine which…

I've never looked but I wonder if there's a website out there that lists pro-choice Ob-Gyns in different geographical areas.

Yeah, baked goods are my heroin as well. They are really the only thing I actually crave and I'm not sure how to reduce them in a permanent way.

I just want to report that I've finally encountered a doctor who had a realistic outlook on weight loss. I have hereditary-linked hypertension and I asked my cardiologist if I just continued my exercise and lost X amount of weight would I be free of medication. He said, that in my case, probably not because…

I agree. She sang technically very well, but it wasn't at all interesting. But yes, I'm happy she's getting some more meaningful screen time.

My husband and I share the love for cream eggs, but he doesn't like mini eggs at all. That is so weird...esp. because he likes M&Ms. Minis are just far superior M&Ms.

"Cadbury Mini-Eggs (only the single greatest candy ever created)"

Earth friendly and convenient. Bestill my beating heart!

Wow, I remember Bonetree, Penumbra and Dasha! They all produced so quality stuff.
