You go eat with your family. You just don’t go to church and then you go eat. At least with our families, the actual religion doesn’t come up at the Christmas or Easter table. Just talk about food, life, loved ones etc. It’s not at all an issue.

This is literally what I said to my husband after reading this: I’d be totally GGG for some kink every now and then. But living that life 100% of the time seems exhausting and unfair to your partner since it is essentially abdicating the existential pressure of being an adult human. Yeah, life’s scary, choices are…

Wait I want to know the reason for the plates too. Extra visibility?

You should have offered to play backgammon for them. This dude played for an hour and got his surgery for free. Then again, not so pleased by the idea of going under the knife with the kind of surgeon who'll give me fake boobs for a bet after losing at backgammon.

That's funny I hate weights but have really gotten into jogging. I love just moving and listening to music. No thinking, no form, just me moving forward.

Oh I totally believe that’s a factor. I’ll always be short and busty. But there’s def a lot more than just genes, there’s work, money and talent that makes Hollywood people Hollywood beautiful.

I wish stars were still more open about this. They look amazing because they work their ass off. It's not just genetic lottery it is intense diet and exercise with a bevy of supportive professionals like trainers, nutritionists, chefs, estheticians, cosmetic doctors and dentists, hairstylists, stylists, makeup…

See I used to be all “natural and graceful”. But then my mom got a bit of work done and said look: “sometimes we don’t naturally age gracefully. I feel beautiful and confident like this. This feels right. You just wait until you’re staring 55 in the face.” And i sorta realized I was being judgy which is easy to do in…

I would like to see actual pictures of the clothes she’s talking about.

I think we should do this as much as possible. But to pretend like girls won’t be hyper aware of their bodies as they change and develop seems to do them a disservice. So while encouraging girls to accept their bodies and feel at home in them is great, showing them how to dress in a flattering way that makes them feel…

In 7th grade I overheard a group of girls talking about how I had a “bubble butt” (the biggest) and giggling about it. I was floored. A what? What’s up with my butt? I remember it so clearly. I was horrified and for the next year I would NOT wear any outfit without something tied around my waist to cover up this…

Me too. As a kid I was envious of the city kids because they all lived so near each other. But they all wanted to come play with us. My mom would put lemonade and water outside and we would just play. In the stream, the woods, the fields. We’re trying to buy land so our kids can have that same experience. Especially…

Im thinking this is going to be our fate. See our son is so cute! Big blue eyes, botton nose, big rosy cheeks, white blond hair and a Cupid’s bow of a mouth. I don’t get it. My husband and I are middling at best. I’m sort of nervous baby number two can never live up to that and that we used all our good genes in baby…

Nope. They may have bitched and moaned about it when I reported it but damned if it didn’t change! The BLET students no longer congregate there and I asked my paralegal students and they said they don’t get talked to anymore and in fact the dude who was the biggest problem avoids them. I think the sweet guy I like so…

Greensboro for the win!

Well and the stats they use don’t account for the fact that majority of custody decisions are not made by family courts but are decided by the parties themselves through an agreement or mediation. Like, yeah women get custody more often but the majority of the time that is because both parties freaking agree to it.

Where did that happen?

NC police departments have straight up said they aren’t going to enforce it out of recognition that it’s ridiculous and damn near impossible to do so. We’re shitty lately, absolutely, but we aren’t quite at Mississippi and Alabama levels of shittiness. Yet. I’m optimistic about November here though, Pat McCrory is…

Or proportional representation instead of winner take all districts.

They don’t really, unless they are Republican. A lot of her most ardent supporters are women over 45. I got straight lectured in 2008 and then again this year by a lot of my parent’s democratic friends for not supporting Hillary. Like sat down and given a proper scolding for not supporting HRC.
