This reminded me of the adult babies, too. I understand the need to unwind and chill out, but having to adopt a non-adult / non-human persona to be able to achieve relaxation strikes me as, again, not entirely healthy.

“Then I had this moment of panic because a puppy without a collar is a stray; they don’t have anyone to look after them. [...] It’s a sad thing to say, but there’s not love from the heart in me for Colin–but what I have got is someone who is there for me and I’m happy with that.”

This doesn’t sound super healthy? If…

I appreciate that this is your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. I believe that there are some evils that need to be removed from society. Dylann Roof should never be a free man again. But I cannot accept that a government is ever justified in killing its citizens, no matter how heinous their crimes.

As for never…

Well, I wish they wouldn’t do that. More killing doesn’t make this any better. Granted, I won’t cry when they flip the switch, but I still wish they wouldn’t do that.

I’m having a hard time processing that the use of clothes in one’s wardrobe would be referred to as “recycling clothes.”

That was just lovely. I’m not familiar with Kesha’s body of work, only the dreadful revelations that have come out in the media. I can’t understand why she’s being so mistreated by her label and even the courts. It would seem sexual abuse by her producer would be an out of any further contractual obligation to him.…

Well, that’s just what they’d want us to think, isn’t it? I won’t believe this isn’t a Paul Is Dead-grade cover-up until I hear it from Tuan Tuan himself, and maybe not even then. PLAY THE RECORD BACKWARDS, YOU GUYS. THE PROOF IS RIGHT THERE.

I’m sorry you were put in the predicament of having to undertake an abortion by yourself. You are brave and fierce and I wish you the very best for the rest of your days.

Sure! I always knew I was pregnant before I even missed my period because my symptoms kick in like half a second after conception. Cold and tired for a week, then the queasiness kicks in, THEN, a few days later, I miss my period.

God, I’m glad I’m done having kids. What a shitshow.

Very true. I know several families with grandparents acting as primary guardians after the parents peaced out or were deemed unfit.

Way to Get. It. Done.

I agree with you theoretically, but we aren’t privy to what plans this family has in place. I’d hope that a responsible doctor would bring up such concerns and help the couple address them while going through IVF and the pregnancy.

To be fair, any child could be orphaned at any time, regardless of the age of the parents. Yes, the expiration date on the label of these particular parents might seem near on the horizon, but young, healthy parents get hit by buses, killed in wars, and drop dead of any number of causes all the time. Rather than the…

There can be so much variation in sibling groups. One of my sisters had to try for years for each of her children (with all the tests and treatments), while I fall pregnant if my husband so much as gives me a come-hither look unless military-grade precautions are taken. Take heart!

Could you imagine the indignity of a non pregnant woman getting flagged?

My labors were all short on the “typical” signs. Never had a spontaneous membrane rupture until my third (and last), when my water broke as I was pushing her out. The other two were manually ruptured well after labor started. The first, I had a faint trickle for two days before I went to have it checked and they had…

Though I’m in The Craft’s age-demographic (at time of release. Je suis old), I’ve never seen it. Totally played the shit out of Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board at slumber parties, though. We always managed to “levitate” whomever was the victim, using just two fingers from each hand. Were we supposed to be going…

I don’t ... I mean ... bathroom gender segregation has always been more of a social contract / common courtesy thing, not a matter of law (until these dreadful laws started popping up, of course.). Many’s the time a full-bladdered lady has skipped her loo line and taken comfort in the more readily-available men’s…

God, that’s sobering. I particularly always wanted to try a psychedelic, but the idea of ruining my brain at this juncture does put a bit of a damper on that ambition.

This is a solid plan.
