All of these Mother Load stories are like the parenthood equivalent of a Cathy comic strip.

Thanks for this. AIO is definitely NOT disposables.

Seriously. Can I not be platonic friends with anybody since I am bi? Ridiculous.

I'm tempted to start using DTF on mommy boards now.

I have three adopted sisters (all full biological siblings). The twins are four years older than the littlest one, and while the twins were taken away after their first few months of life, the little one was taken away at the hospital. Of course, this same bio mom had had like three other kids taken away before this,…

Yeah, that makes sense. I feel fortunate to be so supported in cloth diapering now. It IS irritating.

Hahaha. Your daughter sounds very perceptive. It's too bad you've had weird reactions to cloth diapering. Everyone I know is fascinated by the idea, and I love showing off how they work (and also how cute/colorful they are) since I use the pocket diapers and they really ARE as easy as disposables. But I live in a…

Besides, I prefer shark week, if we're using some cutesy term for menstruation.

Just wondering...why is cloth diapering "out there"? Is it just because it's not the default?

UGHHH I HATE those sorts of handles. GET AN IDENTITY, DAMMIT.

It is in the tech sector, most of the time. My husband is a computer QA engineer, and at almost every job he's had, it's typical to go into the office pretty late in the morning. He's a morning guy and arrives by 8 AM, typically, but it's usually another two hours before everyone's actually in the office. From what…

Well I'm fairly certain we've eliminated any possibility of an organ black market here in the US by creating a donor registry, encouraging people to put that little thing on their driver's licenses, not putting bought kidneys in people, etc. But that takes ethical doctors, too, which apparently didn't exist in this…

He's reportedly been suffering from "renal insufficiency," which is a decreased level of kidney function, and his condition is apparently deteriorating.

Maine Coons are amazing! I adopted my MC mix boy from a shelter at the age of 8 about a year and a half ago, and he is the most wonderful cat I've ever owned. Honestly, he is probably going to be thrilled to be getting lots of attention again when he comes to your house! The biggest issue with MCs is grooming. They…

I think with 50 Shades of Grey, the author had to change enough details that it couldn't be considered flat-out plagiarism or use of copyrighted characters. However, I think just the fact that it's a known piece of fanfiction probably means Twilight's publisher is going over it with a fine-tooth comb, ya know? In…

Ooh, I've never heard of that breed. To the Googlemobile!

In this shitty job market, it's even more about who you know than ever before. You've worked hard for your degree - be proud!

Bahahaha.
