Not just the whole 'having babies with loser guys' thing gets me about this story - but I (personally) know of so many women who have had children, and refused to get married to the fathers of these children, so they can continue to receive government benefits. Meanwhile, I've been married for 10+ years, no children,…

This goes back to a story in the WSJ, where this woman from Lorain was talking about her first child, and how the father of her first child was so dependant on her, that she was worried that marrying him would be like 'having a second child'. So, she knew what this guy was like, even before their child was conceived.…

I really don't understand why some people are so cavalier about bringing children into the world. I'm 35, married, college educated and I have a good job. After being married for 12 years, my DH and I are just NOW starting to try and have a baby. The thought of bringing a new life into the world scares the crap out of…

So, they're good enough to live with, and knock you up - but heaven forbid marry! I really don't understand - bringing a new life into the world isn't a big deal, but marriage is? I mean, if I divorce my husband, it's traumatic, but you move on. You can't divorce your children. And besides - if these guys were such…

What about steroid nasal sprays? My DH has been using one to shrink polyps in his sinuses, and he swears that it helped get him over his cold very, very fast. Too bad there's no antibiotic nasal spray... or is there?

Things like this remind me of the discussion I had with one of my sisters, about female power, and the way women dress. According to her, the idea is that women are inherently evil creatures, who are sent to lure men into a life away from God. We're supposed to be so powerful, and men are such simpletons, that we…

Taking convicted felons out of jail, so they can serve in your mansion? Especially one convicted of multiple burglaries? What fresh hell is that?

If she feels that strongly about it, then she needs to get her own pool. If it's her pool, she can discriminate against whoever she wants to, otherwise, STFU and GTFO. Plus, if she's actually a landlord, and she gets her own damn pool, she doesn't have to soil herself by using the nasty, hair-product laden, public…

1. Should be able to be repaired. Was this damaged on the insole of the shoe? If so, have you tried some inserts? Like the ones from Dr. Scholl?

I would find a shoe repair shop - yes, they still do exist. The worst they'll say is that they can't be repaired.

I asked a pharmacist about taking anti-histamines for a nasal allergy attack. I asked about taking them, because I already take prescription meds for lupus, and I just wanted to make sure that things were on the up and up.

Hearted. So f'n hearted. My (imaginary) hat is off to you! <3

Thank you, thank you - I have my moments. If she had Tracy spin at the wedding....hoo, Lord. That would be a sight, now wouldn't it?

Wasn't she in a relationship with a woman? I can't keep all this crap straight in my head...

Hearted for Sephora reference. I spend so much money in that place, I have to strategically avoid it...lest I spend all the money I have on me, and then some.

But that's what they do - manufacture discontentment that only their products can solve.

I think my husband would rather do anything than marry either of my two sisters. He (really) can's stand either one of them.

Yes - I'm worth it. I'm worth supporting a company that still actively tests their cosmetics on animals. Those poor lab animals? Pfft. I'm SO worth it - screw those bunnies.

Amen! L'oreal, and the companies they own (Maybelline, Lancome and others) can shove it, IMO. Cosmetics are not a necessity, and there are plenty of other companies that don't ACTIVELY test on animals.

I work in the public sector, and I don't get paid maternity leave. I get my sick time (paid), and my vacation time(paid), as well as FMLA. I would love for either me, or my husband, to be able to stay home with any child we have (until they get into school), but I worry about the cost of health insurance. My job…
