Number 2 of 6 here. We all bullied my parents into getting a 12-passenger because we spent several long, miserable years in a minivan. I have actually considered four kids, but the thought of needing a giant kidmobile puts me off big time. It's an important consideration!

This is one of a few big reasons Mr. Water and I have decided to have two little puddles. There's a secret language and understanding between siblings that you can't get anywhere else, that ability to talk about how batshit mom and dad are sometimes, etc. I mean, obviously I aim to be a great mom, but as a human being…

Also the super awesome bleeding you get that is basically 9 periods at once, post-partum.

Maybe I see marriage in a cynical light because regardless of religion or love or years shared together people just walk out on marriage. It's awful. So I feel the meaning of it has been washed out.

Yes. A public wedding is a public commitment, just like it is in a religious ceremony. Otherwise why don't all Christians simply have a wedding with the couple, the appropriate clergyperson, and a witness and no one else, if it's only about making a promise to God?

Hearted. Anyone who likes Janeway is a friend of mine.

That's strange! Maybe that's what he thought most women did when they had freckles? What do you say in response?

So glad to hear about women who love their freckles! Now does anyone want to spare a few?

So there's like some kind of secret freckle club? That's pretty great.

Yeah, I've no doubt there was plenty of societal pressure to have a flawless complexion, just as there always has been. They're just so pretty, is all!

I did too. I still want them a little, to be honest. I just adore them.

Why would anyone want to get rid of freckles? :(

Yeah, but gravies, butter, creams, and whole milk are more proteins/fats than carbs. I think the huge increase in carb consumption is the most damaging thing. So that means not only HFCS, but when the country went through our big, long low-far phase, all of those low-fat products were chock full of carbs in substitute…

I think all "water dog" types must be fairly closely related, yeah.

It is indeed!

Yeah, and he also didn't seem like a totally selfish, unrepentant asshole like most of the animal hoarders on that show. I understand these people have mental issues, obviously, but my gods some of them are just total jerks. They must get so good at alienating people with their horrible attitudes alone just so they…

I think companion animals are really in tune with that stuff. My big (ex tom) cat was crazy protective of me during my pregnancy - starting from before even I knew I was pregnant - and now he's just protective of the baby instead. He likes to slink around "securing the perimeter" so to speak, and snuggling up against…

My husband is 6' 6" and our little dude was born just under 8 pounds - a very manageable size. Kind of amazed me since me and my siblings were big babies - my little sister was almost 11 pounds! I followed the GD diet though. I didn't have GD but I was being cautious. Probably kept him smaller than he otherwise would…

I'm talking about the general attitude, not this show in particular. I couldn't care less about this. My reaction to this debacle was to roll my eyes (which STILL does not make this kind of behavior okay, but yeah, I get it, he's in the same vein as shock jocks).

It was The West...previous to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. That's only 209 years behind!
