My husband definitely closes the door and pulls a George Costanza once in awhile. Whatever, he works hard enough to deserve it. I'm always too nervous to try, except for when I was pregnant. Then, I quite shamelessly had 30 minutes or so of afternoon napping at work. If it makes me more productive after, I figure…

I want my next dog to be named "Sir." http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comi…

You are certainly free to do so, but that is why the article calls these behaviors rude, and not illegal.

Ted seems to be having a lot of trouble figuring out who he is and what he wants, not just romantically, but in his whole life - you see him struggling the same way with his career throughout the show. I can see how that makes him sort of wishy washy, but I think it's pretty realistic for a lot of people in their 20s…

Aw, I feel like the lone HIMYM fan that actually likes Ted. He's a well meaning dude that just has a huge blind spot for the fact that he's in love with the wrong woman, and it's ruining all his relationships. I mean, he's got his flaws, but they just don't seem all that bad compared to anyone else on the show. …

True, she could be much more complex than I give her credit for. I tend to think she's too intellectually shallow to even remember she ever had puppies, since she barely seems to know her own name, but perhaps that's just another protest!

Indeed it is!

I'm with you. These are the kinds of stories that make me realize that maybe I'm not an "animal person" after all. I used to think so; I'm vegetarian, and I even spent years in college struggling away at the pre-veterinary program despite not having an aptitude for science. But you know what? As much as I love my…

Wow, maybe it's just this picture, but Seth and his wife appear to be one of those couples that look like siblings. Exact same hair color, similar smile, skin tone... Maybe it's just one of those dealios where they've been together so long they've started to look alike.

A lot of my favorite kids movies are kind of melancholy or have really sad parts. The Iron Giant comes to mind. So I won't recommend any of them.

I'm turning 30 tomorrow!!!!!!!

Is it just me, or does Cora have one of TV's most punchable faces? I'd really like to see one of the maids, or maybe Mrs. Patmore, just punch her right in the face.

When he's here, you'll be so over the moon about him, that you won't want to have done anything different because anything different might lead to you not having HIM, that particular him that is your baby. It sounds so cheesy and cliche, but hey, becoming a parent makes one a little cheesy that way. Anyway, that's…

I would say, judging from my own experience, that growing up in a family and having one White parent and one Black parent is often a different experience than growing up in a family where both parents identify as Black regardless of their varying degrees of White heritage. There are different positives - getting to…

In the weeks before I was due, I just made a bunch of stuff from Smitten Kitchen's freezer friendly recipe hashtag: http://smittenkitchen.com/recipes/#Freez…

A girl I went to high school with has 3 kids under 5, and she recently finished medical school.

I'm in a similar position, with my husband and his job. I was an attorney, and I HATED it. That kind of career just wasn't for me. I quit shortly before giving birth. My baby is now 5 months old, and I haven't started looking for another job yet. But I do write. Every single day, I write, write, write. I would…

I felt all skeptical but then I remembered that 2 days after my Dad died, I had insomnia. I got out of bed and turned on the TV and my absolute favorite movie, one that always makes me feel good, was just starting. Like, the title credits had just started the second I turned the TV on. I totally thought it was a…

Hm, I feel like I've been growing happier every year SINCE 18. Maybe the happiness decline will start once my kid ages, starts entering her teen years, and starts mouthing off and telling me how lame I am. Then I'm ready for the happiness incline again when I'm 50 and she's in college.

"I only have two problems with children: first,that people keep having them and then acting like the first person in human history to ever have a baby,"
