It's from a movie about pirates and Charles Darwin that Aardmen (?) Studios did a few years ago - they are the Wallace and Gromit folks. It is actually quite good. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt143062…

A friend of mine had twins and was nursing them. She was so tired that she answered the door for the UPS guy with both breasts on display. She didn't even care. She used a chart to keep track of which baby had been fed on which breast. Good luck! It sounds like things will get easier soon. Just be easy on yourself.

Archer, Lost Girl, Continuum, MacGyver, Say Yes to the Dress, Wire in the Blood, Dr Who/Torchwood. Good luck. I remember watching a lot of sports when I was feeding my little ones.

WOOL for sure. I am a big fan of Neil Stephenson. That reminds me - I need to get Cryptomonicon back from my sister.

How do you eat that much at once? TWO pineapples. Discounting the sugar and acid, how can she consume that much bulk?

We are still a long way from planting (MN), but tomatoes, lettuce, herbs, and maybe potatoes again. I have two raised beds and am thinking of doing flowers in one this year. And about six pots of snap peas - kids love them. Then replace those with a late crop of spinach or lettuce. I've tried carrots many times and…

That is where we usually fall - right around $1000 back as we have some variable deductions/credits. But this year we increased our withholding significantly in the last four or five months because my husband had been out of work and collecting unemployment insurance. We were afraid of getting whacked with a big bill.…

I am in the Whole Foods income bracket (something I learned last night while doing my taxes) and refuse to shop there after learning about their asshat of a CEO. I shop at my local unionized grocery stores because that matters to me, as well. I do not shop at Wal-Mart unless I have to for some reason. Organics or…

My kids LOVE Old Country Buffet. Personally, I think it is where food that's been bad goes to be punished, except for the salad bar. It is a delight and never crowded and no one weighs my giant plate of veggies like at a regular salad bar. Pickled beets for everyone!

I had a big argument with a guard at Lollapoolza circa 1992/3 because they didn't want to let me in with my crutches from knee surgery a few weeks prior. They should have been worried about the idiots who were plotting to tear down the venue fence and build massive bonfires with the planks.

My daughter sings it at random moments when things go her way. Like getting the last cheeseburger at dinner.

I was in a similar place and blamed my symptoms on hormones and my cycle. Then I had a few glasses of milk with dinner one night and thought I was going to exploded - my abdomen was distended. So I eliminated dairy and within a few weeks, I felt better. I've "cheated" a few times and paid dearly. My kids call dairy…

My husband tried texting me "quesadillas" once and had to give up because he could not even get close enough to the spelling for autocorrect to work. I think he used - "Mexican melted cheese tortilla sandwiches" instead. There was mocking.

What I absolutely love about that picture is the look on William's face - I see that look from husband towards our kids when he thinks no one is looking. And, yes, the dignitary of Bearland is clearly lacking in the social graces. Ugh, what is he thinking.

Many years, a group of plain living people who are similar to the Amish (I cannot recall the exact faction), tried convincing my brother in law to either join their group OR plant his seed with several of the women as he "was a strong healthy looking" man and they needed that.

Someone once shoved a cd-rom in my hand at a rest stop claiming it showed a battle between Jesus and devil on the computer. I was afraid I would get a computer virus from touching it, let alone putting into my laptop.

My daughter got teased for having hairy legs on the bus over the winter (she's 6 BTW). It happened once but it was enough to plant the idea in her little head that something was wrong with her body and ugly/gross. I tried talking to her about it but as she pointed out, quite rightly, I shave my legs. So I stopped. …

My kids went to Montessori school and learned this delightful dirty about the planets. It's so ingrained that I was singing during Cosmos without realizing. It's even been modified to address the Pluto situation. The state of science education in the US is pathetic.

My mother was a stay at home mom and my father was a big time executive. They divorced when she was in her 50's. She got absolutely screwed. Now. My asshole father doesn't have to pay alimony and she's living off social security because she has no job prospects. Of course, she made some poor choices but she got hosed.…

It's true! I live in MN and was tested in November (not February) and was so low that my doc who poo-poo'd the test suggested I take a supplement. When I went to get them on my weekly trader Joe's run? SOLD OUT.
