That is a wonderful idea! What a great thing that you can go back and read. I might steal that to do with my husband and I. I need some experience developing so it would be a double win. Thank you for that!

Sorry in advance for the wall of text.

Just "ok" childcare for our area is 13K a year. We both have to work, neither my spouses job or mine could cover our mortgage alone. It's just not that simple. And we do all those other things already. Moving would mean leaving our support system so we do get that break to go to the free fun time stuff alone once in a…

I have that same nightmare. It's just awful isn't it?

Sounds about right. We're in the same boat here in CT, it's just too expensive here...but the family lives here. What do you do? So frustrating. And of course the cheaper towns in the state...bad schools. So then you're really stuck. At least Seattle sounds like fun : )

yep. Would love another, no f'ing way. It's 13K/yr for childcare in my area of CT. Good god. $265 a week. I do not understand how people have more than one. We both have to work anyways, not possible to stay home! It makes me really sad. Would love another one at some point but when I start thinking about helping (not…

They escape! Or at least the one I took care of did...a LOT. (he was strong and would push right by me when I opened the gate...doh)They're hard to catch too : ) But they're so cute.

So when can we just airlift all the women out of the country? My heart breaks for the women raised in an environment like this. It's horrific.

Ditto here too! Huge part of my 20's, since I recently discovered it...but enough that I'm currently in a re-watch following along with "the Buffy Rewatch" podcast...which is phenomenal! (Just a fan...not a promo I promise)

I've always admired the artwork of tattoos. My issue is that I'm an artist and I would want to design my own...and nothing I've ever drawn lives up to what I want. And my taste for art changes so fast...I feel like I'd regret anything I got. So I'm stuck tattoo-less. Wahhhhh.

oh good god. I'm so sheltered. That's a thing? Of course it's a thing. Ew.

Same here. The removable battery and ability to add memory are awesome coming from an iPhone. Wonder why it came in so low?

Thank you for this! I just put a bid on a Care Bear on Ebay for my son and I'm awaiting the flack from my family for getting him a "girl's toy". I'll point them to this! : )

yeah, I work for one of those 50 or less employees companies so FMLA doesn't apply to them. I got maternity leave, 12 weeks because they are nice, but no money at all. All unpaid. I'm way luckier than most sadly. Like the above said, really research this stuff before moving here, it puts such a dent into your salary…

I tried to get rid of constant heartburn along with other digestive issues and almost daily migranes with medicine for the last two months...the only thing that worked was getting rid of wheat and dairy. It sucks. I wasn't crazy about Prilosec or any other drug I tried (which did nothing anyways) but it's hard not…

I agree in regards to Jace. I just don't find JCB jaw-droppingly attractive...which is pretty much his description in all the books. I saw a lot of fans liked Alex Pettyfer, he's more along the lines I imagined too.

My favorite artist (Kabuki is my favorite comic ever...the artwork is just breathtaking) combined with Buffy? Amazing! Mr. Mack, your artwork inspires me so much (I illustrate as well), I can't thank you enough.

You don't sit down until 9 is all, my experience with just one. Can't even imagine what having more does...

The therapist I saw when I quit drinking wouldn't continue seeing me unless I went to AA, I refused. Mostly because the only religion free one was about an hour away. I made it fine without it, but it still ticks me off that she wrote me off because I wouldn't go to AA. Whatever works for everyone right? AA or not.

My husband and I are having an awesome time with our little guy and theoretically wouldn't mind another kid...but we are both pretty uptight people and I don't think we could go through the infant stage again. Add on to that the fact that my husband has a crazy job and I do 90% of the kid work...and work? And we are…
