Oh, of course! I hope you saved her some!

She must be mid-90s by now. She's from Missouri, she eats a lot of food my Oregonian self has never seen it heard of.

I'm sitting here fantasizing about this same thing happening to me right now. I would gladly have a big dramatic messy labor that ruins everyone's appetite and forces me to miss a meal I've been sitting around waiting for since 11am.

Exactly. The cheese really confused me. Why would anyone do that?

My great great aunt Pauline likes to bring a dessert to holidays that I cannot understand. It's lemon jello with pineapple, canned cherries and mini marshmallows, topped with cool whip, walnuts and shredded cheddar cheese.

Good!

As someone who identifies with the views of the Church of Satan, I totally enjoy the antics of the Satanic Temple. They are a bunch of reckless trouble makers, and I fully approve, although they are not "my people".

I married my first husband at 22. I left him when I was 23. He was ten years older than me, and I realize now he saw me not as a person, but a prize. He's a very charming, well-liked man.

oh, I totally relate to this. I'm smart, but I'm not ambitious in a traditional way and it's just not a part of my personality.

Thank you. The legal requirement here is 43 weeks, but my midwives arent comfortable with anything longer than 41.5 weeks. I'll be doing increased monitoring if I'm still pregnant on Wednesday. I feel confident that she'll come out on her own, though.

Oregon is amazing. I grew up here, and I kept trying to leave in my 20s, but there's no place I enjoy living more than the Willamette valley.

I'm so pregnant. I'm SO SO over being pregnant. My due date was Friday. This is my second baby and everyone said, oh don't worry! You won't make it to 40 weeks! Second pregnancies are easier, blah blah blah.

My husband is about the least domestic guy you'll ever meet, but he taught me how to fold a fitted sheet perfectly square like that. His grandma ran a laundromat when he was a kid.

buying a house was really scary to me. I mean, it's just so much money and it's a huge commitment. My husband works in construction and his schedule (and our income) fluctuates a lot. We also were open to so many possibilities, it was hard to narrow down our choices.

As a parent, one of the things I can't stop wondering is HOW DO I PREVENT MY SON FROM BEING A PART OF SOMETHING LIKE THIS? Not just this wretched Brian person, but how do we raise our sons to be the kind of young men who don't look the other way when their "friend" is assaulting young women and bragging about it?

YES

Actually, not all farmed animals are thoughtlessly slaughtered. A great number of them, yes. But there are many, many individuals, families, and farms who care about their livestock and make sure their lives are ended in humane and peaceful settings.

We totally did this in the 90s with craft store rhinestones.

you should try this, if you haven't already

I am about to have a baby and get back on the permanent diet lifestyle again... And I'm dreading it.
