Yep. Buying it too. Just based on this article. Her writing style and how she treats the topic are stunning and sincere and realistic. I don't usually react to most stuff around here like that.... but man, that was a read.

Reading this article makes me feel this is what my life is going to amount to - especially as Caitlin and I are in the same field, and I could enthusiastically nod to her historical references. It's a great piece.

What an utterly bizarre situation to be in. I say bizarre as judging from your article, treating it as anything else would break you. Great piece of writing.

A long, long time avo my baby died.in utero. Your excellent piece of writing made me cry, yet feel at peace with letting the hospital cremate her. After 32 years, I finally know what happened to her and I am at peace with it. Thank you for thus.

Dude bro, does your sack even lift?

I work in HR and this is so illegal. Put down that the applicants need to lift 50 pounds and leave it at that, idiots!

TRUTH.

Oh, bullshit. I gave birth to my third kid a week ago. Until that point, I was carrying an additional 50lb of pregnancy/baby weight, PLUS a 35lb toddler on one hip AND a 42lb five-year-old on the other.

Yo, my vagina can lift 50 pounds no problem. KEGELS, MOTHERFUCKER. KEGELS.

PLUS THINK ABOUT HOW OUR BOOBS GET IN THE WAY OF THINGS OMG.

WOW. I would love to more about this. Can you email me at rebecca.rose@jezebel.com? I will absolutely keep your identity confidential. On my oath as a fellow Texan. Thanks.

The Marriott here in Austin will only hire male bell-hops because of the [heavy lifting] involved when dealing with guests luggage. I've always thought it was a stupid rule...some women can lift just as much -if not more - than men.

50 pounds?

i would just like to take a moment to appreciate that the url for this post is "one-of-t-a-t-us-fake-lesbians-is-actually-a-raging-homo"

Ronald Reagan implemented conjugal visits for prisoners in CA.

GOD DAMMIT FLUTER

A co-worker of mine got to move into a new office several months ago. The previous occupant had retired. After my co-worker moved in, he opened the center desk drawer and discovered it was full of fingernail clippings. Full. Of. Fingernail. Clippings.

Well, I won't be eating dinner tonight. Gah.

Apparently the people who rented our apartment before we did used to clip their nails over the bathroom sink.

I know, because when it stopped up we snaked it and thousands of nasty, half-rotted toenails spewed forth.

I still can't put my face near the sink.
