I'm an INFJ, too, and it's not always easy being in the world.

Umm, how many guys do you know? Because I live with four of them, and I can assure you their tool collections are much larger than my shoe collection. And I'm an equal opportunity aficionado of both.

Speaking as a laid off museum educator, this is so true, it's painful.

Because taking a thoughtful look at the current economic climate is painful and people who are currently able to support themselves want to believe that they go to that place solely through their own righteous choices. It's also almost taboo in our culture to admit how much of economic success is dependent on factors…

It's such a relief to hear that other people had to deal with some of the same stuff growing up. By the time I graduated from high school, we had 3 other teenagers living with us, simply because their parents kicked them out for ridiculous reasons and they had no where else to go. And it's not as if my family was…

Oh, yes, I knew it was about that old. What does that have to do with the rest of what I said?

There is often a certain class element involved in such decisions, that isn't discussed at all in any of the original articles. My high school boyfriend lived with me and my family during my first years of college (at a community college) partially because we were able to successfully argue that it would be good to…

I learned this 'fact', too, in my college US History class. It's so interesting to hear that it was untrue. Do you know what led people to believe that so many Puritan women were pregnant at the time of marriage?

I miss them, too. Seeing Cindy Crawford look so happy, beautiful, & healthy in that pic was kind of eye opening for me. Although I'm sure the photo was enhanced, it look much less photoshopped than the pictures I'm used to seeing in the media now.

This exact same thing happened to me, but it was with my oldest son.

Oh, I know! Pumping is so much work. I really wanted to try to convince them that nursing in public isn't that bad, but also didn't want to make them feel I was putting yet more pressure on them.

I think part of this is regional and part of it is class related. I nursed 3 babies in N. Texas and received tons of dirty looks and comments. I tried to be as 'discreet' as possible, but my babies hated to have their heads covered. A hungry baby crying and latching off to angrily try to pull off the blanket is much…

I have certainly seen these types since I moved to Massachusetts from Texas. And I hate that people think that way. But, comparing the level of institutionalized racism? There is just no contest. Just a few years ago a now suburb of Dallas voted to keep the name, "Whiteright", despite that they were losing out on jobs…

Greetings, fellow former museum worker. I also refuse to believe that anyone could truly dislike museums.

I have a side topic that I've thought a lot about that I am hoping someone here will have some insight into. I used to run a museum/school tour program that focused on Native American culture and objects. I found that many children, perhaps the majority, had only learned about Native Americans through school. These…

I'm glad you're working through it, for the sake of your marriage. It can be so hard to trust again after a sweat pant incident like that.

Would you mind defining 'fridging'?

Best wishes. I'm sorry you had to go through that. It sounds exciting, in a way, to get used to new ones. Kind of like going through puberty without the terror of not having any idea how things will turn out.

Did yours change and stay that way? Mine were a bit smaller/droopier after weaning, but they sort of re-inflated and perked back up with each cycle until they were, for the most part, back to normal.

I really don't get this. I guess it's probably a regional thing, but I got so much pressure to formula feed. The only thing that was stressful about nursing for me was horrible other people's reactions were. Once established, I found breastfeeding to be so much easier than bottlefeeding simply because there is…
