I was born in 85, and I had lots of jewel tones/rich browns in my wardrobe, yeah. My mom LOVED popping me in those Oshkosh corduroy coveralls - I think I had a pair in about every color of the rainbow.

I was just thinking that myself. My mother loves to decorate for Valentine's Day with her late grandmother's collection of valentines from the 30s-60s, and they are DARLING. They're so much more intricate and carefully-made than anything you find today. I love vintage cards.

Precisely. I'm so tired of having to keep my mouth shut while everyone verbally fellates SGK. Not that I'm inclined to insult an individual's desire to do things for charity, but SGK drives me nutso and I'd rather people put their resources into a more worthy organization.

Susan G. Komen for the cure....ing of me having to stand alone in my ongoing distaste for you!

Blue is fine for girls, especially the aforementioned baby blue, as well as turquoise - which everyone knows is a blue reserved entirely for vagina-havers.

Good luck with that. Finding gender neutral anything above size Newborn is a total nightmare headache. Sigh.

It's totally hilarious that ANY PR company did anything related to this clusterfuck. Said company should instantly disband out of shame and total shittiness at performing the one task they're supposed to do well.

That tells me just EVERYTHING I need to know about rabid anti-choicers, doesn't it?

Haha. To be fair, livestrong.com has been an awesome website for me during pregnancy, since it offers a lot of straightforward info that doesn't require digging through a thousand inane posts on a pregnancy message boards.

It's like everything I wrote when I was 19.

Hey! :( Gross, we don't want him either.

I was feeling some serious secondhand embarrassment.

I was thinking the same thing. Anyone who gets me red roses is an automatic lazyass in my book. How about getting me something that took some actual thought on your part and didn't cost you a bajillion dollars?

We're not much for V-Day just because it seems to be a time of year when we're really busy and low on cash, but for the last one where we did gifts, he gave me a live plant (can't remember which kind, it's been awhile), and I gave him a bamboo plant which ended up living for several years.

You should be. It's incredibly insulting both ways.

Your man buys you expensive gifts, and obviously you're going to give him a blowie in return! I mean obviously men don't like to give gifts to people they care about unless there's something in it for them, and women don't like sex unless it gets them cliche, overpriced gifts.

I'm fairly confident that in a few months' time this will become THE example of nonprofit clusterfuckery.

99% of people won't have the courage to repost this! ~*~*~*~*~*

Yes, how dare people seek out some comfort from their closest friends in a time of grief!

This really vexes me as well. SGK and other organizations really HAVE made people more aware of the signs of breast cancer, the importance of self exams and mammograms, etc, but REALLY NOW, has there truly been any deep need for that in the last decade or two? I think at this point we're all super aware, and we don't…
