I'm one too but this gif perfectly encapsulates my response to people talking about attachment parenting. I usually try to deliver it with martini in hand.

Bull-fucking-shit. I attachment parented my way right into serious, clinical depression. You don't fuck around with sleep, you just don't. And all of that "research" that Dr. Sears relies on is anecdotal, fuzzy and cherrypicked. All you need to do is look at how many baby products that man and his family are now…

The Chicago Trib just put out an article today about this same topic. It seems that a slight majority of the scout leaders who were accused of preying on children did NOT have children in the scouting group at the time. They may have been completely childless or their own child was in another group, too old, not…

I'm not an actor and I was only visiting NYC but a waitress told me she that she had seen me on the previous night's L&O. The more I refuted her, the more she insisted that she was certain it was me. So there you have it, actors. Feel even worse about yourselves.

Perfectly fine to glance, just don't stare.

So my only revenge for being the least favorite is spending my adulthood nursing and taking care of her? Well, isn't that just kick-you-in-the-crotch-spit-on-your-neck fantastic.

Yes and his characterization of it was, "broad lawns and narrow minds."

Yes. One of my best friends is gorgeous and we connect on almost all other levels of our lives. I've known her for many, many years though and this thought process has only been applied to more recent friendships (so I probably chose her for shallow reasons in the beginning and it ended up working out splendidly). I…

This is very, very true and I am still learning it to this day. One truth I've recently hit on is that I can't be friends with people that I would like to *be* in some way. Usually, I would like to have their looks because that is what I am most self conscious about in my own life. So I find myself drawn to…

Can anyone elaborate on the denial of/disinterest in global warming and man's effect on it within this movement and other similar "new" Christian groups? So much of their belief system relies on putting one's self last, respect, sharing, being a positive role model, etc. Why doesn't any of this translate to being…

I agree that it may be genetic in certain cases, if only because I had the opposite response. My mom was very critical of my appearance. She told me that I was ugly, offered me money to lose weight, gave me dieting tips when I was 12, etc. I REALLY wanted an eating disorder, specifically anorexia. I would try to stop…

Big Beth just sounds like someone's horrible grade school nickname to me.

I don't think the argument is that her texts prove that Charney didn't abuse her but rather the texts possibly negate these incident(s) from being actionable in court. It happened but she can't sue for what happened.

"Only time will tell whether my early intervention saved her from a life of preoccupation with her weight, or drove her to it," . . .

This reminds me of when I saw the Flaming Lips in concert and they played "Vaseline," their one big radio hit. Beforehand, Wayne Coyne said that it may not be a huge fan favorite or their best work but it got them where they are today, so they wanted to pay tribute. I thought he was right and humble about it (although…

I also think that if you have latent psychological problems, hallucinogenics can activate or aggravate them. But it's hard to know that until it's too late. Of the many people I've known that have severe mental health issues, one of the common threads among them is serious drug use, almost always including…

1. Mayim Bialik looks like a cleaned-up Amy Winehouse here. (Not trolling, I love Amy.)

Holy Shit! With the prostitution, double-sided dildo scene at the end?!? Did a teacher stand in front of the screen for that part or what?

I never changed my last name after I married and I have no professional ties to it. I just also felt that it was a hassle and unnecessary. My husbands family refers to me as Mrs. Husband's Name but I don't mind at all. When I'm with them, that is who I am to them and I think it's sweet and welcoming for them to say…

Agreed, I'm 5'0" and if I ever reached 175, I would likely need a jazzy to get around. She may look bad in wedgie pants now but they were also terrible in 1999, so no loss there. And, without a kid, laying around in bed and having food brought to me me while I drink cocktails sounds amaaaazing. (Provided one doesn't…
