I have a serious case of the olds because I can't figure out this new format. Where the hell is Groupthink? How do I get permission to post there, once I can find it? I miss my people...

You can borrow my washer if I can watch your TV.

I know this is completely irrelevant in the context of what we are collectively saying "fuck this" to, but my expensive flat screen TV died today when I unplugged it and plugged it back in. This normally wouldn't matter, but I have a four week old who is nursing about every hour and I am basically confined to bed with…

I want to hate George W. I really, really do. I mean, look at all of the damage he did to the world in less than a decade. But between the mediocre paintings and the holding of the baby, and the aging, it's getting harder. He just seems so...human.

FUCK THE SPOON, GIMME THE JAR!

Blake Lively and Ryan Gosling?

He's in my arms right now...will post more later in GT. :)

You have all the info on recidivism rates among sexual offenders I take it? You must be reading different literature than I am.

Strangely enough, I was never much of a water drinker before I was pregnant, but now I constantly have a jug (well, my bodum, now that it's not full of coffee) with ice water with me at all times. I don't know if it's technically possible to crave water, but I have been.

I am hoping to get through this as naturally as possible. I called the hospital and the nurse said that I could come in if I felt like the pain is too much to take. While I am having the contractions, they are all consuming, but they are only lasting 40-60 seconds at the moment so I am able to just close my eyes and…

I can but I am trying to hold out as long as I can so I can be home where I am comfortable. It's my plan B if I cave in and go and end up getting turned away to get a room somewhere and see if anything changes that day.

Mine are mostly in my back, and just started wrapping around the front last night. I read that women who experience period cramps in their back can often feel their contractions in their back, regardless of what position baby is in.

That's an option I am keeping in my back pocket for now. I just don't want to spend a couple of days in a hotel where I am not comfortable if this goes on for a few more days. If I do break down an go in the middle of the night and get turned away, I will probably check in somewhere for the night to see if things pick…

Way back in my pot smoking days (daze, heh) I did eventually stop getting the munchies, but I was a pretty regular smoker (daily). I lost weight during this time, but it wasn't because of the pot, rather I walked a lot because I couldn't afford a car and pot.

It's not a "dieting" tip per se, but I remember being in high school and being convinced that if you wrapped a certain body part you wanted to make smaller in cling wrap, it would help take off inches. I spent a great deal of time with my thighs wrapped in plastic.

I am SO FRUSTRATED. I'm due (to have a baby) tomorrow, and I have been having pretty strong contractions since late Friday night, but just when they seem like they are getting closer together, they start to taper off for a while. I would be okay with this, but I haven't slept longer than 30-45 minutes since Friday…

I sweep every couple of days and mop my kitchen floors (with a wet swiffer, cause I'm lazy) weekly. Bathroom floors get swept weekly and mopped monthly, but I usually wipe down the area around the toilet when I clean it, because I live with a male with bad aim.

Layman's reference to my previous reply;

"So, just in case you thought anything in life was safe, it's time to PANIC VIOLENTLY."

Wrong again. Psychopathy isn't treatable. Anyone with a basic psych education knows that. It's part of why kids under 18 aren't diagnosed with psychopathy; the APA is squeamish about diagnosing children with untreatable illnesses.
