I like to get this conversation out of the way during the early get to know you stages of texting. “So, what are you looking for here on [insert name of dating app here]?”

I was ghosted this weekend. 10 days or so of fun texting back and forth, including him revealing some pretty serious personal things and talk of meeting up when my kids were with their dad. Then the time came to make actual plans, his responses become fewer and less frequent. Then finally nothing, despite saying…

He was such an ass during that interview. Even my cocky 15 yr old son thought he sounded like an ego maniac. “Everyone knows my story, it’s so boring to have to repeat it.”

Thank you for writing. I commented that I got pregnant while I had a Mirena and am interested in a non-hormonal IUD. I am put off by the likelihood of heavier periods, but, like you, I want to feel my hormones in full swing! And I don’t have a history of very bad cramps. I’m going to make an appointment.

I got pregnant with an IUD. It can move out of position and be ineffective. The nurse at my OB/GYN’s office thought I was crazy and/or stupid when I called to say I was pregnant and had a Mirena. She told me it must have “fallen out” and I didn’t notice. NO, no it did not fall out.

That's a pretty sexist assumption. Male and female colleagues can be close friends without sex involved. I had (and still have) a very close friendship with a male colleague 20 years older than me, no flirting, no "porking," just mutual admiration and friendship. I deeply resented the women — and it was mostly women —…

I did the same thing when I was younger and men in meetings assumed I was someone’s assistant or simply arranging the meeting, rather than being a participant. Kill them with kindness and win them over with your work.

Watch Faye Dunaway in the 1990 version, she is excellent.

Sonja looks amazing this season, a little misstep with the Tipsy Girl thing but in the end she did a mea culpa and handled it as best she could. I just love that she owns having a friend(s) with benefits, but is discreet.

I have a 15 yr old boy going through the same thing. He tries to play us against each other to get what he wants, "mom doesn't understand me, she's being unreasonable and yelling, you know how crazy she is" "dad is being mean and

The very pregnant woman goes first, especially if she has another kid in tow. Parenting while pregnant is like having your boss yell at you while you’re taking a flu shit. It’s miserable business. That poor lady just wants to get in that elevator and head to the top floor so she can jump off the roof as quickly as…

Seriously!!! I scrolled through all the comments looking for someone saying this, and then just posted my own!! Only the greys care about grammar.

I loved how they basically ignore Costas and just said whatever they wanted.

I love Gabby Sidibe, I love Jessie Smollett, and I love Empire, but this picture is ruined by the use of "I's" — I just can't. It takes a lot of will power to not correct everyone in my newsfeed posting pictures of "My bae and I" "My girl and I."

Poor Meghan just wanted to get drunk before her impregnation, which Jim doesn’t seem very interested in. I think the ladies were stunned into silence by the “scary crazy” — they’re used to fun crazy or bitchy crazy, but Kelly is on a whole new level. Remember that Meghan’s doctor is Nina’s ex-husband, the doctor who…

This is the correct assessment of IAC. Caitlyn is terrible, but the discussion of trans issues and sexism in general was fantastic. I learned a lot from Jenny Boylan and Kate Bornstein and the other women.

I thought it was Winona Ryder!!!

When my divorce from my abusive ex is finally final — weeks I’m told — I’m getting “Nolite te bastardes carborundorum” as my divorce tattoo. The Handmaid’s Tale is my favorite book of all time, with Alias Grace a close second.

Too opinionated usually. Juries are scary. I’ve watched few mock jury deliberations and am always stunned on what the jury sees as the important issue and how much their judgments about the lawyers effect their opinions.
