Yeah, I think it's funny to post about this, but not her comments about Jezebel and the whole retouching thing.

I had an Ava, Eva, (pronounced eee-vah) Eva (pronounced ehv-ah) and Ivah in the same class. I was constantly saying there names wrong and they used to get seriously attitude-y with me about it. I was like "come ooooooooooonnnnn girls! Cut me some slack!"

I've only known one Wolf and he was mostly a crunchy hippy type dude. Super nice though, just not so big with the deodorant. I've known a lot of Katharine's (one of my closest friends is Kate, full name Katharine). Katharine is nice because it has a lot of variations available. As a teacher, I will say each term I…

Haha, me too! Anything carbonated makes me burp, and thankfully my husband thinks it's funny. I burp, we give each other a thumbs up. Sometimes, he rates them.

I had a teacher named Ilona, and she was awesome. Only person I've ever met named that too.

Completely agree. When I was a teenager I was super developed and really uncomfortable with it, so I wore a lot of loose, baggy tops to try and hide the ladies. Trust me, baggy shirt, tight shirt, it didn't matter, I would still get comments and still felt horrible and objectified. The only thing that actually…

We have to teach the kids in my classes about "personal bubble". Being a teaching artist, I work with a lot of different ages and types of kids. We get some of the touchiest feel-y kids and some who make a fuss if you touch their shoulder. I don't mind a quick hugs but I have kids who want to hang on me, or get a…

I kept waiting for the scary to happen and it never did...

I think it should be less about allowing everyone to leave early, and finding a balance. If I left earlier on Monday, I may need to stay later on Tuesday. You can't expect the single people to be the only ones picking up the slack. That's how resentment starts, and the divide between the child having and child free…

I have the same fear. And the older I get, the more embarrassing it is. I moved from NYC to Seattle and since we live right by the bus tunnel, I've been able to keep up with my public transit, but I know the clock is ticking and I'm going to need to become a driver. It terrifies me.

I'm getting married in October, and honestly, I feel like if someone wants to be nice enough to get us a gift, it can be whatever they want. We're mostly just so thrilled to have people coming to celebrate with us, that if we get some presents out of it, that's an extra bonus.

You may not want to sound like you're judging her, but you are. And honestly, no one cares whether you're okay with their decisions or not, so why even go there?

Exactly!

One of my very good friends had to have major surgery around her stomach area, and so she was told to wear maternity jeans so they wouldn't aggravate the area. Two years later she continues to wear them because she swears by the comfort factor. I've been tempted to try, but still feel a little too weird buying…

Exactly. Where someone may disagree with sex-selective abortion, we can't start judging why someone is having and abortion. If a woman truly has a right to choose abortion, she needs to fully have that right, not just if we agree with the reasoning.

You can take my Salted Caramel Cupcake from my cold, dead hand.
