I don't know about studies, but anecdotal evidence of my entire life suggests that, while not every cycle is the same, some are preceded by water weight gain (on the actual scale), immense hunger or finding all food disgusting, headaches, increased pimples on face, cramps, fatigue, and occasionally, I do find…

Can you provide a link to this? My understanding is that they speculating increased BMI as a link but couldn't confirm it in any way at all. In fact, it sounds like they still don't really understand what causes puberty to begin.

I always notice that, when you ask them which Christian religion should prevail, and which should go by the wayside in the argument of "'Murica's Christianity," it gets really, really quiet.

I recommend the train. Of course, you have to book far enough in advance and have a few days, but now that pretty much all of us can make our phones into a hotspot, you can get a small cabin, a few meals, and even access to a reasonable shower.

Think about getting a good children's book on anatomy, too. Your child will love it. Bones and skin and all the other things, explained.

This is true, and I taught my child all these things. Plus, the two correct words. (She can learn the rest a bit later.) Just be prepared for hearing about it in Target at top volume. heh heh Because you will. And be prepared for the talk about appropriate language at appropriate times when she's discussing these…

I hate to admit, but for all her seeming stupidity, Hilton has done a good job making her money and keeping it. She has to have gotten some from family, but she also used to get paid $100,000 for an appearance at a party or some such ridiculous figure. She was disowned by the grandfather, so a lot of the money appears…

Heat is best, as it kills the eggs, too.

In the summer, you can give your things the hot car treatment. One car. Parking lot. No shade. Four or five hours. Dead bugs. Of course, I live near the desert. That makes it easier.

In my dreamworld, you could get an app on your phone that you use to send messages to your local laundry for laundry service.

Oh, okay! Good. My mistake. Apologies all around.
