I never remember the exact date of my period and I am on the pill. I generally have to either look at a calendar or get out my pill box. It's not like when I start my period I go, "Today, June 13th, I have started my 97th period."

I had an intake nurse shake his head in disbelief when I told him I didn't know the date of my last menstrual period because I have a Mirena IUD. Should be enough said, right? He shook his head, said, "I've never heard of that. Must be something seriously wrong with that." It took every ounce of self-control I had not…

Just out of pure curiosity, is the reduction permanent? Or would disuse also mean a return to the original shape?

and shoes! I have giant feet (size 10) :(

I don't think you understand. But okay.

That's the exact opposite of everything anyone with kids has ever told me.

I'm a firstborn, and I was, at least as a young child, very "good"—I was verbal and quite articulate very early, and I loved nothing better than pleasing adults. Then my brother came along, and due to undiagnosed Celiac disease (this was in the early 80s, when no one had ever heard of such a thing), he was a holy…

The fact that I'm currently looking for a job (thanks for the advice, bro!) has nothing to do with being significantly underpaid, perhaps due to gender.

Yeah my first child was (is!) a lot more work than my second child, I think its just temperament differences (a bit neurotic/light sleeper vs. easy going…)

I think it depends very much on the children in question.

Oh yeah? Well, if the pay gap's so bad, how come my ex-neighbor's common law wife makes $85 an hour working from home and just bought herself a new BMW? (Beat you to it, spambots!)

BRING BACK TEMPTATION ISLAND!

I'm currently paid almost $20,000 under market value for my position as a Technical Writer in an IT group (90% are male). Not saying it's because I'm female, but I'd definitely be interested in seeing how other salaries in my group compared to market value.

really? please cite where you got that definition. that's absurd.

We do have larger bikini bottoms here. But they don't look like THAT.

I am just happy that people are discussing the Parthenon and the Pantheon. People kept telling me that my A. B. in Classics would be useless (And it was an A.B. , not a B.A. because it was in LATIN).

It works on all body shapes, as long as the boobs are an A or B cup. Or if they are implants, and the woman is into covering just enough not to be arrested.

It seems like every day I find another brand of something that shares a name with my daughter. Rather fitting. Freya bathing suit is the cure for my Freja-induced deflated boobs. :)

For real, check out Freya bathing suits. Their bikinis have a wide range of sizes (sold in bra sizes - mainly bigger cups), with underwires - AND super super cute designs. I thought I could never wear a well-fitting bikini, but Freya changed my life!
