I ask this with actual concern and not derision, but is he off the wagon or something? I can't tell from reading it if he was trying to be funny, trolling, being serious, or just off his rocker.

Well done. I hadn't heard about this subculture and I'm glad I read about it here first instead of some one-off Cracked.com reference or Daily Mail tale. On a side note, I honestly don't think giving birth out of the butt is inherently much more gross than giving birth out of the vagina (said the two-time c-section…

You are right. I probably hinted too much out of sick glee from the way he was with my friend. Cooler heads must prevail though as adults. sigh

Yeah I don't think harassment is in order. I'm sure it will be public soon enough though. He's enough of a known jerk. Normally I wouldn't even think much about who it "really was", but him stating his prominence as a writer really opens that up to casual wondering

Haha no

BrianD got his initials right. :)

Yup

This is the first time I have ever been genuinely curious as to who the d-bag was. Any guesses?

I mean yes, difficulties facing women over 40 in Hollywood... But having just seen the photo for the first time I am freaking the F out. That doesn't look a little different. That looks nothing like her. I...wow. If she is happy I am happy for her. I just...wow.

Good point. Referring to your boss's story, for that to happen to my son I would have to be willing to do his laundry when he's an adult, and oh my god is that not going to happen. That reminds me, does anyone know which comedian has a bit about children where he talks about letting your son do his own laundry after…

Just re-watched. The part with the Mickey and Minnie Mouse is actually kind of terrifying, since you don't see their faces. They're just these odd figures walking toward the child

Really great, if bizarre. I wish I could feel this confident about my job just one day of the year.

I absolutely cannot wait until we can afford a cleaning person coming in a couple times a month. We have two kids and are both working full time and it is getting incredibly difficult to keep things up. Also, like OP here, seemingly everyone in our town has a "person" coming in to help with the kids and/or clean the…

This honestly horrifies me. My partner and I both work full-time, but the kid stuff and house management falls so much on my lap because I work from home (actually even he was unemployed a few years back our families still came to me regarding those) and I am not at all naturally that way. Children bore the hell out…

I am so grateful for my c-sections. The first was because she had to be out that day, c-section or inducement and surgery scared me less than forced contractions. The second I wanted to do a VBAC but had so many pregnancy issues that by that point I was like, "Nope, not giving him the chance to mess up that area too."…

Kelly Clarkson has a baby named River Rose*

Also, women in the military are frequently raped as well...

I just want to second this. That book is so accessible and yet incredibly informative. I had no idea how much I didn't understand cancer until I read it, and it's led me to feel comfortable reading more in-depth research on the subject.

Fellow atheist and very monogamous type here, like to the point that porn isn't even okay in my relationship unless we're both watching. I think it's pretty presumptive though to think someone is not as in love because of their views on sex. Sex can be completely intertwined with love but it can also be not so much or…

Hm, I'm fairly certain that could be the description of most TLC/Destiny's Child songs that I grew up loving so I'll refrain from commenting on this one lol
