Yeah, it was called “melencholia” and men who were tired of their wives loved it. Great chance to shovel her into an asylum and hook up with a younger woman.

Great article Ashley. I hope in the not-so-distant future you will address this:

Ummmm WHAT?!

Worldwide, breastfeeding is promoted as ideal because formula is risky in developing countries. Water may not be clean. Bottles may not be sanitized. Formula may have plaster in it. People sometimes water it down. And it is a complete meal for your kid in a handy package that they can benefit from well into…

“The main thing, as always, is that baby gets fed.”

As a former breastfeeding mom who rarely pumped or used bottles, I think that it’s important to include with this story that pumping moms often do a combination of feeding from the breast and feeding expressed milk from bottles so that they can keep their milk supply going. Pumping keeps the milk flowing, which is…

I too am a fan of British programming. You can binge an entire run of a lot of series in the course of a distraction-free weekend. “The Catherine Tate Show,” “Miranda,” “Monty Python.” “Blackadder,” although that’s a stretch.

As a frequent consumer of BBC shows, this is one of my favorite jokes in the whole series.

Lmao, no. I am Council staff, program namely. I personally oversee and work with our Camp CEO. Every Camp CEO runs differently, and to paint them all the same is irresponsible, and also just not correct. I won’t speak to the Cookie CEO badges- those are from GSUSA and not created by individual Councils.

Our Camp CEO is…

Please do not discourage people from writing holographic wills. They are valid in half of the United States, and are so much better than no indication at all or simply allowing the courts to decide (potentially against one’s wishes). A holographic will is eons better than nothing at all.

Man estates and trusts was a class I was barely able to stay awake through, but I do remember that a will that is handwritten and signed by the author (testator?) that is unwitnessed or signed by anyone else is called a holographic will, and that there aren’t too many states left that recognize them as valid…

I had a similar experience - unmedicated birth with a minor tear (I forget how the rating system works, but mine was at the lowest end of the scale). I had no idea about the tear until they started stitching it back up - the adrenaline from the delivery was such that it did not register at all. I was scared that…

Thank you, I think I got in a light kick to his left shoulder. When the horrified nurse told him what he had neglected to do, he said, “Oh well, it’s too late now.”

Injury? Meet insult. 

I had them done with both of my daughters’ births. As I mentioned in another post, the doctor that delivered my older daughter forgot to numb me before he started cutting. I was able to free one leg from the stirrup and tried to kick him.

Have similarly aged toddler, can confirm from this weekend’s yard work that this is 100% accurate.

The kids clothes for ‘formal’/official outings have always looked, as one person commented with Prince George, like the ghosts of children who died in the Blitz. The theory being put out that if they dress them like little 1940s dolls, when they are out and about with nanny or whomever, they are are dressed like…

That first picture with the stick is almost audible.  You can hear him going “aaaaaaaa” and his little shoes going “clunk clunk clunk”.

AKA "I'm sorry I got caught", or "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by what I said." 

“because most of my rapes were not the gentleman jumping out of the bushes that nobody had ever met,” What kind of person calls a rapist a “gentleman”?!?
