I would skip coming to the US and go somewhere where the healthcare is government sponsored like Canada or . . . pretty much every other 1st world country in existence.

I was recently telling the following story to someone and had a big (sad) aha! moment.

I’m 33 weeks pregnant, baby’s feet are lodged squarely under my ribs, and all I want to do right now is pop open a bottle of The Bean Pinotage and say a jolly “no need, thanks” when someone offers me a glass for it.

The scene in George of the Jungle where George runs with the horses was a very important moment for my early womanhood, so I have always had a soft spot for Brendan Fraser. I also like Bedazzled and Blast from the Past without any irony.

My dad, an interesting man on many accounts, could also be a nasty, racist son of a bitch. This cost him friends and family to the point where few wanted to deal with him. After an estrangement of about five years, I started to visit him again, and he was noticeably grateful for it. But whenever he lapsed into his old…

Those around me like my son at Berklee School of Music on an $80k scholarship and his musician friends?

Oh God we can ALL relate to this

It accurately describes how you feel, though. The days after giving birth is a haze, but the one thing I remember with clarity is how AWESOME it felt to be able to get out of bed like a normal person and not roll out bed like a whale carcass being pushed out to sea

I’m going to put that picture on the front of my fridge to jump start my diet.

And people wonder why women “don’t just leave” their abusive spouses. I hope O’Reilly is consigned to the hell he claims to believe in.

Bill O’Reilly is looking for the truth like O.J. is searching for the real killers.

They’re about four times more expensive at the nearest health food store which is a little over ninety miles away, but thanks for judging the ethics of a purchase I made while my daughter’s cat was dying.

Technically speaking, she is my daughter’s cat. She’s doing great, thanks. I force fed her six times a day for six weeks, which was an absolute joy as you can imagine. One of the standard treatments for fatty liver is surgically implanting a feeding tube, which costs about $2,000. I would have done that but my vet…

I’ve been struggling to articulate my feelings about Milo, but this does a good job. A part of me has always felt a little bad for him because it’s so painfully obvious that he just hates himself for being a gay man and his whole shtick is about that.

If nothing else, here are a few anagrams for his name:

I know some obstetricians are C-section happy but this one looks like it was warranted because the baby’s heart rate went too far down during labor. It’s the aftercare that I found seriously lacking.

My first thought when I read that story was, this is an elite professional athlete. The woman knows her body. She not only knew what was happening, she knew the course of treatment necessary.

When Lipinski quietly said into the mic, “She is blind, and he is showing her the world,” I said “NOOOOOPE.” so loud, one of my kids got out of bed to investigate.

I have never shipped anyone. Not fictional characters, not irl people. But I ship these two and I want it more than I have ever wanted anything related to two people I have never and will never meet. I fell down an internet VM shipping hole last night and I have no regrets.
