This is an issue I've been wondering about too. My baby is due on January 1 (yes, I know, I'm crazy to be thinking of school now), and where I am the cut-off for entering kindergarten is the calendar year. So, if she is born on or after the due date, she'll be the oldest in her class. But if she is early, like her…

Don't worry, I highly doubt anybody in NY thinks we are paying these exorbitant prices because our apartments are nicer than what's available in the Midwest. :)

That cabinet does look weird, but the doorway thing probably isn't that big a deal. That's probably a service entrance, not the front door of the apartment.

I believe it. I'm a little more squimish than I wish I were about some things.

For me, this is basically the only scenario in which it is ok. It's mixed up with a bunch of other really, really good stuff. I'm not even entirely sure if that bite had a bit of head cheese in it or not. I can be in denial about it. It's cool.

I don't think I had the emotional stability today to deal with the mix of emotions one of your ranking posts creates.

I don't know what's wrong with me, but the pork parfait was the one that made me think, "Hmm, that doesn't sound half bad." Maybe it was the fancy name. :)

By the way, this entry was the point where the person helping me research this post started to feel violently ill.

I've been pregnant twice and haven't started feeling symptoms until about 6 weeks after the start of my last period. So, about two weeks after my missed period. Everybody's different. It's possible you're super in tune with your body, or maybe things that aren't that big a deal are getting magnified in your head…

My only other experience with destination weddings was the one of a very close family member (so not something I could easily skip) who said that she was only having it there to save money because she literally wanted to invite everyone she had ever met. I don't know if she was too stupid to realize that she was only…

We did! It was a month after our own wedding so we just made it our honeymoon. The groom is flat-out loaded and they spent a ton of money on activities for the guests at a really nice resort for three days to make it worth everyone's while. Lots of people showed up to that Hawaii wedding and the size of the rocks on…

Seriously! How can it be ranked so low?!

As usual with these rankings, there are some things that are right on (Butterfinger is an abomination) and some things that are rage inducing (York Peppermint Patty and Almond Joy deserve way more respect). It is very unsettling to swing from "C.A. Pinkham knows my soul!" to "What is wrong with this loon?!" in one…

it's only been two months

Yes, this is definitely the dynamic in my household. I was very close to telling my husband that he needed to take a break from posting about our kid, but fortunately our picture-taking has fallen off quite sharply since the first birthday (are we terrible parents?).

Yeah, this is basically it. Add sleep deprivation to that, and I am just as dismayed as everyone else about my lack of interesting things to say. My time away from my kid? I'm working or showering. Literally, that's it (except for this very moment when I am posting on Jezebel, of course).

As a parent, no, that's not funny. I'm with you. My best guess is that maybe these people are so sleep-deprived that dumb stuff becomes funny?

Yeah, it's amazing, right? Now I want to go to Spain and eat 5 euro Iberico ham sandwiches!

I am a big fan of you and Kitchenette (is it the Kitchenette?), but Iberico ham is seriously the most delicious thing that has ever existed in the world. I say this as someone who is interested in Spanish food because I am forever trying to recreate the food my grandmother made for me when I was a small child, not…

First of all, this is amazing and wonderful, thank you for writing about it. Second of all, I am saddened by all of the yucky comments you have here. I feel naive to be surprised. :(
