Yep! I remember being put on every fad diet my mom ever went on, like it was a bonding exercise (except for the part where I felt worthless and hating existing, woo) and I don't want my daughters to grow up that way. I'm all for being healthy and I want them to be able to run and play and feel strong, but I don't want…

I would normally agree wholeheartedly, and in general I still think Gawker should do exactly as you suggest.

This is the order that was on my paper ballot (in MN).

True! There's no way to know.

I told my advisers I'd finish my master's project on my last maternity leave. HAHAHAHAHA NO.

Once you hit your goal weight you don't have to pay anymore. You can log in online and track your food (which yeah, you could do on a different website for free I'm sure) and go to as many meetings as you want. It's not really any different from just keeping track of what you eat in general, except you also get to…

How was this guy's tweet about hairy women not getting sex calling attention to prostate cancer? How, in any way? If anything it's just distracting.

Yay, my husband and I totally agree! He actually prefers me with more hair, and I am lazy enough not to shave my legs regularly, but I do it occasionally. Our 2-yr-old keeps saying, "Mommy, you're poky" when she feels my leg hairs. FINE, TODDLER, I WILL SHAVE SO I DON'T POKE YOU WHILE CUDDLING. Cuddle-burn on a…

Since I know there's a huge variation in the way different people (and even the same person at different times) experience the same pain stimulus, I'd be surprised if there weren't a huge variation in the way different people experience pleasure, too. I know I experience a wide range of orgasms myself, so wide in fact…

Kids from private Christian schools grow up and sometimes become writers. They can write for Christian publications and publish whole books on this sort of crap. I'm not surprised at all and I don't know why anyone else is. This stuff is cultural dogma in most of Christian subculture. I'm sure the editorial staff…

I don't understand the first and second things together. How can they not tolerate bullying at all but also not have a zero tolerance policy? Isn't not tolerating something at all the same as zero tolerance? I'm just confused.

(Uh-oh, I typed a really long answer... sorry...)

There are quite a few pregnant women in my online birth club who are due in the next few weeks and are justifiably scared.

Ugh, that's just going to make filling out legal forms really annoying.

I can't watch the ending of "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" due to Christopher Lloyd's everything. I think the shrieking is what really scares me, but I can't look at the eyes, either...

The Secret of Nimh, no no no no noooo thank you. Watership Down? Stay the hell away from me. Dumbo will never be seen by my children. All Dogs Go to Heaven=please no.

"Sorry, everyone..." -Minnesota

Are these serious questions or are you being rhetorical? Are you solid in the assumptions behind your questions or do you actually want to discuss this stuff? I'm sure a lot of us would be willing to actually discuss these things.

I actually did the same thing—I crept into my 2-yr-old's room where my husband was rocking her to sleep because I just needed to see her.

Just depends on how you see child-parent relationships. I don't see parenthood as an 'ownership' or 'genetics-only' thing, but rather a responsibility and continuing relationship. Since she won't have responsibility for the child and no ongoing relationship, she doesn't consider the child hers. I fully agree.
