what are you talking about, your hair is beautiful.

And cute hair.

Counterpoint : this would be an ideal party for a surprise paintball raid.

Some day I’ll tell you about the time my husband’s former boss kept asking if I was ‘happily married, like a ‘real marriage’ sort of thing’ and ‘if I wanted to do blow with him?’.

I got really ‘cute’ after getting married (losing 40lbs while caring for a dying mother is apparently great for your looks) and you should hear the shit people say to my husband when we go out. You’d think it was the 50’s with the way people tease or ‘compliment’ him about me.

It’s not only hard to find doctors that manage us, it’s hard to find doctors that don’t treat us like side-show freaks. “You have EDS? Vascular and your joints? Show me how your hips and shoulders dislocate on demand. Hold on a sec, I’m going to bring in some students.” That... immunity to the pain med thing really…

Yep! So you have that awful genetic disorder and know my pain? I am so very sorry.

Not that I’m the biggest Bieber fan either, but at least Bieber isnt beating anyone black and blue. Let’s not put him and Chris Brown in the same strata because they are NOT.

A THUNDEROUS round of applause for “Drawer potato.”

This is why whenever I need to get some food, I just go to the supermarket and hang out by the checkout. I get to be in close proximity to people who have food, which is the same as having it, yourself.

The death of the landline also figures in. Some of my friends have gone with really cheap VOIP services like Ooma because they aren’t going to give an 7 year old a cell phone, but at the same time it’s not like we didn’t use the phone at 7 to invite a friend over or ask about homework. At some point kids should be…

Except that when parents are entitled to a free upgrade, it’s not really a $600 device. The market for an old device is pretty weak. So I’m not sure there is any moral high ground on recycling a still working device and laying out actual cash for a less fancy device. You can’t buy a flip phone for what I could sell my…

There should be. But the reality is that when it comes to public opinion, mothers are always doing it wrong.

I thought so too. She’s basically saying “I’ve accomplished so much professionally and this kid wants me to parent him too?!”

It’s interesting that Madonna describes Rocco’s attitude towards her career as him not being “satisfied” (as opposed to him not being, say, impressed). Like, do kids that age generally have strong attitudes of satisfaction or dissatisfaction towards their parents’ careers and accomplishments? I feel like the phrasing…

True. For some reason, kids abuse the shit out of their phones, so, not being as rich as Madonna, I have a problem with giving the kid a $600 device that will inevitably be destroyed. My younger kid got my used 5, and broke the screen about 6 months later. It didn't really faze him until I replaced it with a $99…

He looks like he’s surprised that he’s a Hemsworth brother.

I...fully support a kid not getting an iPhone till after they’re 15

:D he’s AWESOME. Had him since he was 4 weeks old, bottle-fed him and all. He pets me when I’m sad. Brilliant little creature.

How does one gain confidence? I would like that to be my New Years resolution; be confident in myself. I feel I’m an accomplished young lady and I keep trying to better myself, but sometimes I get so overwhelmed by life and its seemingly endless difficulties. I think I’d be relieved not to go through it anymore. My…
