Before I was pregnant I smoked on the regular. During that time I dropped a good 40 lbs. I don't smoke anymore because I 1) have a newborn that requires me to be alert, 2) have a newborn who requires my breastmilk to not be laden with THC, and 3) have better things to spend my money on (newborn).

I completely understand your point of view and couldn't find a single thing I disagree with. The "not the US" argument was mostly reserved for what I said about mat leave and child tax benefits. You need child care ten months later in Canada and you get more financial support from the government when you do have them.

To be fair, child care is expensive in Canada. Just as expensive as the US (maybe higher because the minimum wage is higher here), and our unemployment rate is a lot higher than in the US (unless you live in Alberta). We just have better mat leave benefits, but even still you only get 55% of what your salary is for…

This is awesome!

A friend of mine dated the guy who plays Bubbles (Mike Somethingorother). True story.

I'm not usually one to encourage suicide, but in this case I am happy to make an exception.

Yes please!

The dress would have been perfectly fine if it didn't cover her hands. Or have sleeves. Or matching shoes.

Mine is six weeks and everyone is already talking about The Next One, including Mr. Blue. I'm all "Fuck that noise!". I love the one I have, and he was totally wanted and planned for, but I'm a one and done kind of girl. I have plenty of resources to give to one kid, but the more I have the more spread out those…

Hello, what is hyperbole?

I hate Joffrey so much that if I ever saw the guy who plays him, I'd probably have to stop myself from punching him.

Other end...
