Hey, that was my sign! (Well at least I also had a sign that said that and didn’t see any other versions)

Well to be fair, I did forget to include my husband when I told my girlfriends I would drive, so I had to tell him that there wasn’t room for him in the car. That probably made him feel very unwelcome.

Semi-related story. We sent out a holiday card (which, IMHO, hilariously featured a wedding photo outtake and a shout-out to 2016 being basically the worst and then on the inside a nice wedding picture and something about 2017 being better), signed, “Love, BabyGirlsMomma, Mr. BabyGirlsMomma, and Baby Girl” because…

Same. When I got back together with the man who eventually became my husband (I got the dog during our breakup. Wwwwaaayyy better than rebound sex, but slightly more expensive), I made him agree that should we break up, the dog is mine. And then before our wedding, I reminded him the same rules apply in the case of…

What the actual fuck is wrong with people? I tell my husband all the time that I love the dog more than anyone on earth, but I do know that she’s a dog. And her eventual death will be very very sad, but having been through the death of a dog and the death of a real human, I can assure you that the human thing is much…

Right, and I think in the case of very young kids, there’s an added combination of parental sleep deprivation and the silent kid in the back. I don’t have kids, I have a very whiny dog that would NEVER let me forget her, but I have been sleep deprived during a terrible period of insomnia. If I drove instead of taking…

And that is exactly why I am not having kids (but also congratulations! thanks for being selfless so I can be selfish). Godspeed madam, godspeed (and chocolate?)

Or get a stronger prescription. My normal dose is NOT cutting it these days and I’ve been leaning hard on my “for emergencies only” xanax supply just to get through the day.

THIS! Everyone keeps talking about 2018 and 2020, and sure, we have an opportunity to do some fixing then, but a SCOTUS justice or twice — that could have lifetime implications that we cannot undo. We can’t wait for 2018 to fight. We need to start fighting 1/20/17.

I mean I don’t disagree that it needs to be tweaked but that’s not what our president elect has proposed. He wants it gone and with it will go the protection for our most in-need populations

And you really mean “best of luck” because that is literally all we can hope for at this point — that by some stroke of luck, we can maintain our health insurance for the next four years despite preexisting conditions. Good plan.

Same with a friend in college. I thought she was my best friend, until I realized she was lying about every single thing she had ever told me (and then yes, of course she try to gaslight me into thinking she hadn’t said those things). Looking back, of course the things she said were ridiculous, but at the time, there…

Baby Girl as Drumpf. I’m cheating because it’s from last year, but it’s even more topical than it was then (when we thought it was a joke that he was running. Hahahaohgodwhathavewedone).

Yeah, I’m a huge (HUGE) fan of shelter dogs, but this doesn’t really feel like an appropriate time to talk about that.

Just as an FYI, it’s A LOT more than 1 shot. Like 50+. My friend had it done and she said it felt like they were sticking her hundreds of times. I haven’t seen her since so I can’t tell you whether she thought it was worth it or not.

Having not sat in this specific meeting, but many many others just like it, I would say she is supposed to represent IBS, not just generic intestines, so she’s sad she can’t ruin the patient’s day anymore. Maybe? Also to the previous point made by Lord and Lady, that was definitely a med/legal/FDA mandate that she not…

This is totally off-topic from the original post, but I’m curious to know more about your experience as a local with AirBnB in New Orleans. We have very good friends there that have expressed similar concerns (and we also saw a poster doxing what I assume are some of the bigger offenders in the neighborhood). Our…

In fact, my husband posted the NYT article about the latest accusers on his Facebook page and A WOMAN commented, “But why are they only coming forth now??” I very seriously considered replying with, I never reported my rape in college. Does that mean it didn’t happen? Does that mean if I see that man running for…

No, only because I never had access to them in large quantities (outside of say Halloween, which I was completely allowed to participate in). If I got a goodie bag or something from a kid’s birthday, I would pretty much eat everything I liked immediately (but to be clear, my parents would definitely weren’t throwing…

Same! My parents turned out to be basically everyone I know in Park Slope, just 25 years ahead of their time. And for the most part, I’ve very grateful because I love a variety of interesting, healthy foods but they were so nuts about sugar and junk food and now I have almost no self control around that stuff. I’m…
