28 and all my bras come from them! I have basically no boobs and Aerie gets it!

My husband’s family calls him the diminutive of his name despite the fact he's been going by his given name for his entire adulthood. It bugs me

He’s very intelligent, progressive on his social views, and also self-aware. When you’re in the public sphere, people only get snapshots of how you think and feel, so he’s getting a lot of flack about this, but I appreciate him using his public position for something better. Kind of reminds me of that “You Are…

My husband’s mother sends him weirdly high amounts of cash for his birthday every year and then gives me the kinds of gifts you’d give a hostess of a party (e.g. This year he received $1000 and I received a reed diffuser). Every year he tries to put all the money in our savings or toward a trip we’re taking but I…

Yeah I think there’s a lot of variables at play here, just like in a relationship in general. If there’s even a chance you are with someone who could go ballistic or disappear, you need some money set aside they can’t just take to empower someone to leave a situation. But if you’re talking ending everything, that…

Agreed. We have separate credit cards and I have a bank account my husband doesn’t have access to, but it makes it so much easier to not think about who is paying for what. (But then again my husband has no abusive tendencies- I can understand why this is important for women who are economically abused)

My sister did that with her youngest and it was a huge success! So much easier on the parent, too

Which is why economically it's a bad deal, because you're paying a premium (usually the same cost as soy milk) for almond tasting water. And it’s bad for the environment, considering how much water California almonds require.

Was the moral of the story that abortions are bad? What state was this? I feel like I should end every anecdote with “ps had an abortion today!” Now

You can find it on YouTube! “Always Changing Always Growing”. Didn't they eat the uterus at the end? Ughhh

Went to school in Texas in the 90's. We started learning about our period in 4th grade with the infamous pancake video, learned about STDs in 7th grade with a slideshow of actual photos of the diseases and a screening of The Miracle of Life, no sex ed in high school. IMO learning about the STDs worked better than an…

Ha I’m in the opposite boat. Based on my level of education and background (what my friends are doing, socioeconomic status, etc), statistically I should not be having kids til my mid 30's but I have PCOS and the disposition for something like Down’s that basically causes most fetuses to miscarry. Because insurance…

Most pregnancy data is, I think, intended to scare people with cases of anomalies. And for every study saying X is bad, there's conflicting data saying X is good. Do what works for you and know that those southerners are missing out on the emotional and financial maturity you'll have in waiting longer than them.

Well it's probably cheaper than a juice cleanse and more potent, so more power to you!

Fun fact: the owner of Costco has a home in Eagle County, Colorado so he opened a Costco there for himself, even though it was financially not a good decision. It has been a huge help to rural people in the area who are priced out of most food choices (because Eagle County= Vail, Beaver Creek) and provides good paying…

I get what you’re saying and these celebrities are very wealthy, but as they age, the job opportunities dry up. They are learning (in this arena) the same lesson we are, that we’re less special and more forgettable, the older we get. Except their livelihood is completely tied to their looks, something they've been…

Basically all you may eat now is soylent green. They should just make a Nutrisystemfor pregnant women and have done with it already.

I mean yes, there was a proximate cause for this specific outbreak which you correctly identify, but the hunt for witches and the desire to claim any woman of intelligence was either a witch or a mystic (eg Margery Kempe) would have kept bubbling up in Salem and elsewhere regardless of the two families or the specific…

Yeah witchcraft trials and mass hysteria surrounding them came to America from Europe, where it's been around for millennia.

People prefer gently used ones so it doesn’t scream “new money: I just bought a birkin” (according to my sister who owns 4)
