Haha, are you me? I did this exact same thing. I ended up holding it for 1.5 hours, since I was convinced that surely the movie would be over soon. I wasn't too smart at 12.

Yesss. Shades of MoGlo here, and I mean that in every good way possible. SO funny.

Quite.

Fabrizio (Human Olive Garden Commercial) and Tommy (five leprechauns standing on each other's shoulders wearing a long coat).

1200 calories a day is pretty much unthinkable for a pregnant woman. That would be incredibly unhealthy. It's borderline for a non-pregnant woman.

Boy, spending a few minutes researching something is SUCH a bother, innit? Come on, Jez.

Was just coming here to say the same thing, thanks. Great explanation. You absolutely have to be in the "fertile window" to get pregnant. You can only get pregnant during said fertile window (which lasts about 2-5 days, since sperm can live up to 5 days in the fallopian tubes), but of course that fertile window varies…

It's become quite clear that Jezebel desperately needs someone who is better-versed in health topics/the sciences.

Adding to the multitude of voices here. Doing a modicum of research before writing a ranty story is wise. This goes for Marcotte and Jez.

It's the going grey part that's a massive pain in the ass.

Every time I've seen a natural redhead go grey, they tend to get a sandy color as opposed to the usual cool grey, which I love! But yeah, I find it very weird that people are hung up on this particular choice.

Brownies are like cake if everything about that cake was dry, mediocre, and disappointing.

I prefer to spend my days without brownies, because in my lifetime I've had probably one good brownie and ninety-nine crappy ones. Blondies, on the other hand...

I believe a few days ago it was dubbed "Front Fucking", just fyi.

Doggystyle is more of a guy thing

Thanks. I probably will have a conversation with her soon. She's been having a tough time and busy transition time in her life right now, too, and normally I would be really there for her and I just haven't been able to do that this time.

I really think Mad Men does the opposite of fetishize the good old days.

Freshman year of college my roomie and I used to lie in bed and watch that before getting up for the day. I have a strange fondness for it, as silly as it is. :)

Good vibes your way. Hope everything comes out perfectly.

Sounds like the perfect spring break to me.
