I actually know someone who got suspended from facebook for a week or two for posting a picture of her kid on the potty. she was reinstated, but the photo was taken down.

I didn't really read the people article, so maybe it clarifies, but from what Anna wrote, it's not actually clear whether the proposal in question was on his birthday, only that she accepted on his birthday. So for all we know the proposal was weeks ago, and she just chose to think about it, which would make accepting…

damn. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that!

Anybody know any tricks to combat foot cramping during yoga balances? I'm doing bodyflow (yoga, pilates, and tai chi) and it kills me in general, but I can deal with everything except balancing on either foot.

As someone who did have trouble nursing, I will tell you that this "hostility" you're observing is because people straight up tell us our babies are going to be sickly and stupid and that it's all our fault. Which is, I think all people who are not insane can agree, bullshit. So I thank Mo-Rextrordinaire for pointing…

I'm supposed to go in and do orientations over the next week, so hopefully that will help with the nervousness. I'm mostly worried about the group classes, but they say the early morning and noon hour classes aren't too packed.

I joined a gym yesterday! And bought my first ever sports bra! I'm excited, but nervous, because almost literally every new thing gives me anxiety. I think I got a good deal though : 25.95 bi-weekly, and they waived the usual enrolment fees (about $150) and gave me 1 week free.

If it comes back tomorrow, I'll do that. It's not as freaky looking as the tail-less one we spotted last year though. Just a front leg, amputated around the elbow, and I almost didn't notice.

My daughter and I made friends with a 3 legged squirrel today! We were eating dinner in our back yard, and we spotted it eyeballing our plates so I tossed it a slice of strawberry. It turns out 3 legged squirrels freaking love strawberries!

Danae. I love Klimt.

I botched dying my hair last night! I let it set for too long because I got distracted waxing various chin and moustache hairs off. Instead of dark brown, it's now overdyed black.

I've said it before, Cassie has had that hair since like 2008. It's a sexy haircut, and I'd be wearing it right now if I thought I could pull it off. Not because of Skrillex. I've only been aware of who/what Skrillex is for like 2 months tops. Because of Anya from Project Runway and Marceline the Vampire Queen.

I always used to eat raw rhubarb straight from the garden as a kid. It's perfectly edible, if you like sour stuff. The leaves make a pretty sweet Peter Pan/Robin Hood hat too.

My mom's cats do that. It usually starts as a playful wrassle, and then they just pass out like that. Incidentally, your kitties even look a lot like my mom's, except her ginger is a giant galoot :)

I just want to say that, having sat through all of the tinkerbell movies, the face actor they showed is impressive. Her body language is pretty uncanny. The 15 year old? theres nothing I can say that won't sound like "get off my lawn".

I pumped exclusively for 3 months and to be completely fair, it did look really cool. Like crazy milk lazerbeams shooting out of my nipples at odd angles. Not remotely sexy though. Those 3 months were without question the sweatiest, cheese smellingest, moustachiest, hunchbacked 3 months of my life.

I'm not jewish, but I do have a long, broken, aquiline nose, and it's my favorite thing about my face, so this makes me happy! Hooray! A broader acceptance of what counts as attractive is good for everyone.

When my dad was in elementary school, he said bullies would pin thier victims down and hold thier noses until they opened thier mouths to breathe and then put rabbit turds in thier mouths.

I'm warming up to the idea of not having any more. Only because all hell has apparently broken loose on my only 29 year old reproductive system and it's really depressing trying and failing. Unfourtunately my almost 3 year old is currently obsessed with sisters, and would like one very much.

I have 2 points for you, good sir:
