One afternoon when I was about nine, my mom, my and aunt and I were in our kitchen. My aunt started gushing ... "Pregnancy is beautiful and childbirth is a miracle and labor doesn't hurt and I loved being pregnant and I was farting glitter and my after-birth was made of peach Jello!"

My mom, with a totally straight…

That is one thing I didn't understand. She demanded that she have a house the same size as of the other wives ... despite there was only her, a daughter who is nearly grown and a husband who is there a couple days a week. How does that makes sense? No ... I don't think she should be less of a wife or get less just…

I agree ... and I think that's going to back-fire on her. I got the feeling that Meri felt like the odd wife out because of the babies between Christine and Janelle. But guess what? Robyn immediately had a child and I bet she keeps going. I do agree though that now there's a two/two split going on. I noticed a…

I just couldn't get myself too worked up over this. If I had the money? I'd do it. I've had friends who have rented out movie theaters for birthdays or skating rinks or what have you. Is it extravagant? A little I suppose. But they didn't close the National Zoo ...

For a moment or two I actually pondered this picture ... is this Liz and Dick? Is this Lindsay Lohan PLAYING Liz? Who is this??? Ohhhhh ...

Could they LOOK more pretentious in this pic?

I watched this for awhile with the same kind of "watching a car crash" kind of mentality. But ALL the fun left when the showed the episode with Christine having her baby.

In the middle of the pregnancy, Kody starts wooing and brings in Robyn as the 4th wife, moving her closer to the family. Christine is obviously…

Thank you! That was my EXACT thought! Wow, what is wrong with the skin around her knees? Holy crap she's got some LOOSE skin on her ... wait ... are those leggins??? LOL I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who focused on that ...

It comes across as an odd story ... it's hard to put into words because the conversation was so awkward. "Can you think of any names like memory?" What? A word like memory? Remembrance? Recall? WHAT? So we decided she must've meant a word that IS a memory ... the memory of love or happiness or sunshine ... I…

My neighbor's daughter is named "Summer" ... and she was born in March.

I. Shit. You. Not. I thought it was a nickname or the child was insanely premature or something for the longest time ... until we were standing by the fence talking and she said no ... she just really liked the name Summer. Ohhhhkay then.

I know, right? I would be terrified something would be wrong and then I'd have a baby with a freaky-ironic name.

One of my twin daughters' high school friends got pregnant in college. She wrote the girls asking for name ideas "like memory" ...

So we sat around baffled all evening trying to think of names that were like memories. What would you possible name a child? Happiness? Love?

Finally, one of the girls wrote her back and…

Wow ... well ... that's an interesting theory. Just off the top of my head, I suppose the reason they don't do that is two fold. First, that would be an organized act against the capital. Any act of disobedience, organized or otherwise, is punished severely. If an entire area were to act en mass like that? There…

Thing is, he wasn't that HOT himself. I mean, he had an average body ... but he wasn't Chris Hemsworth, for Christ's sake. For him to openly mock fat people and talk about not ever accepting his wife gaining weight? After their two children? Whatever ... enjoy your lonely life, asshole.

My old boss used to make fun up people who were heavy. In fact, when he first transferred to our office, he told me, his secretary, that he was disappointed because he didn't realize people in the Midwest were so "corn fed." I'm heavy. He said that to my face. He was friends with one of my co-workers ... until he…

My grandfather kept a scale in the kitchen ... and whoever came to visit, if he thought you were too heavy, he would have you stand on the scale so he could see how much you weigh. I have no idea why my parents allowed this to go on. If this happened around a child of mine, I would've told him to go fuck himself. …

True that ... misery DOES love company. That's the only thing that keeps my spirits up ... that when I call to make payment arrangements, I'm not the only person saying, "I will pay you as SOON as I get paid!" Hopefully it ends tonight ...

For my boyfriend's Breaking Bad finale party, I made cotton-candy flavored blue sky rock candy. I even went and bought the tiny baggies from the jewelry department and had small bags to hand out to the friends who came. Can't lie ... it was AWESOME! :)

I imagine that's a good part of it. Back when Kim got married, we looked at Bride magazine ... but it wasn't like she thought she HAD to have a $1,400 designer wedding dress. She picked out a beautiful, gorgeous dress ... all fluffy and Disney princess-y ... our bridesmaid dresses were a jewel-toned purple ... very…

I understand and feel you completely. I just got my mail and found a late notice on my electric/water bill. My mortgage is late ... and so are two or three different bills. Their partisan temper tantrum has serious real-world consequences. I'm not sure how long the delay in my deposit will be once the shutdown…

God, I don't want to sound old ... but I'm sure I will ...

When my best friend got married 20 years ago, there was a shop in town that was a complete bridal rental store. They easily had over a hundred wedding dresses to rent ... as well as about two dozen "groups" of bridesmaids dresses to rent. What I mean is ...…
