Diet Dr. Pepper is wonderful, but it is second to...

Liar! Diet Sunkist is the nectar of the gods! Also, for Michigan folks, Diet Vernor's is delicious!

I just meant that person who corrects the OP. Not the lawyer! I'll defend lawyers every time, especially the ones like me whose clients are all indigent. I'm not in some fancy white shoe firm, for sure.

Oh, Lindy, don't fret. I like my rap music about as awful as they can make it. I blare "It Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" (sp?) in the car, then come inside to write my congressperson about unfair misogynistic laws and have my women's group meetings. I try to think of it like the valve on a pressure…

I agree, and I can genuinely believe he had no idea what Take Back the Night was. What I can't believe is that this song's name wasn't cleared through legal before it was finished/released. Somebody on his team or at his label dropped the ball BIG time.

I don't know if it's so hard to believe that Timberlake himself didn't know about it, seeing as he never attended college (where I first became familiar with the group) and he's not really a political activist anyway...but it's unbelievable that none of the people working for his record label, his management, his…

They did a terrible job. The defense sucked, too. It was a race to see who could hit bottom first.

They won't ban you. You'll just fade to grey ....

Good points! My dad came from a dirt-poor family of 10. I asked him how the hell his parents could afford that many on a tiny income, and he responded, "Well, these days it's less socially acceptable to let your kids wander the neighborhood throwing rocks at cars. In my day, that's just what our parents did. "

The people who don't want kids never had to use the economy as an excuse.

Hey, I was told I was abusing my kid for putting him in a swing (which is also apparently correctly known as a "neglect-o-matic.") If you aren't cradling your child in your arms while reading him/her Chaucer while you tend the organic vegetables you are growing, because you're not going to trust manufacturers, are…

Word.

I say this as a long time baby-wearer and generally crunchy mom: come on, girl. The judgey tone isn't adding anything useful to the conversation. You can say the same thing and not sound so smug.

1.) Congratulations!

I've certainly noticed some flat-headed toddlers among friends and acquaintances. My son started rolling over while asleep sometime in the fourth month, so I figured, ehh, I'm gonna let the chips falls where they may with this one. He doesn't have any flatness to the back of his head, but he's still got that big old,…

There is no point to babies if you cannot smell the top of their heads. It's the best part.

From the linked article: The best Beyoncé could muster when recently asked if she considered herself a feminist was: "That word can be very extreme … I do believe in equality … But I'm happily married. I love my husband."

Can I just say I'm super tired of the word "Mama" ubiquitously used to refer to mothers? Such as: "I'm a proud mama [bear optional]!" "You go, Mama!" "Us mamas know what's up!" It's so saccharine.
