"This is the third time this month, right? Maybe you're lactose intolerant." Oh, I love it. So brilliant!

Yup. While moving across the country, I almost lost my cat in a hotel room. After two hours of tearing the room apart and calling her name down the halls, I had almost resigned myself to leaving without her, even though it was breaking my heart. (The very thought is upsetting me now.) It turns out she had somehow…

I had the same baseless fears about infertility, years before my husband and I even started trying. Learning about my cycle really helped me relax. I liked the feeling of knowledge and control. I downloaded an app called Kindara, which is based on the teachings of Toni Weschler's "Taking Charge of Your Fertility." I…

WOW. That's the opposite of my mother-in-law (age 65), who always goes on about how cute maternity clothes are these days. Apparently when she was pregnant in the 70s and 80s, everything made her look like a house. And that's hard to accomplish, since she's barely 5 feet tall.

Whew, I really dodged a bullet by not telling my boss I'm "gravid."

What if they always filmed the pregnant actress in front of a solid background, though?

Yeah... and it probably looks clumsier and more ridiculous in this mash-up. I'm assuming the whole season didn't feature Kerry Washington dodging behind plants and lamps in every scene.

Seriously... how many times has a wedding guest stepped on a bride's train? That would be a pretty spectacularly unusual occurrence. And that's what would have to happen here for someone to step on the baby — only it would be even more extreme, because the guest would both have to step on the bride's freaking train…

Is "pregnant" still considered vulgar by some? Now that I'm starting to show, strangers have started to ask. I've noticed that women over 60 always ask if I'm "expecting."

I am really surprised by all this. In this day and age, is it really that hard to edit out a baby bump? (Botched photoshops from this very site tell me yes, but the fact that we make entire films with CGI tells me no.)

What is this in reference to?

Aww no! Your mom wouldn't even let you go to the senior/junior prom when you were an actual junior?

I should also clarify: the reason I'm skeptical of studies showing that sunscreen has little effect on vitamin D absorption is because the two most commonly cited compared people who wore no sunscreen to those who wore SPF 15. But many people wear SPF 30, 50, or higher, so we don't really know whether those high SPFs…

The research is spotty, but from what I've read, I've concluded "yes." Sunscreen does affect the body's ability to process Vitamin D. Apparently dermatologists recommend getting Vitamin D through food sources or supplements instead, but the amount of Vitamin D you can get in supposedly "Vitamin D rich foods" is…

Are you sure we should be wearing sunscreen every day? My abysmally low Vitamin D levels would disagree with you.

Argh, you're right about the mind-pretzels. His delusion is just too frustrating. I have never seen girls "throw themselves" at complete strangers. Chances are, what he saw was girls flirting with guys they are friends with, or guys they met at bars/clubs/parties, or guys they at least have spoken to. Did he ever…

Also, if he had any self-awareness of his own wealth and above-average looks, maybe he would realize that the hot, rich sorority girls he hated might not have perfect lives on the inside, either. Maybe that hot blonde is pining for a guy who doesn't notice her. Maybe there was a girl who thought HE was really cute,…

Yes, exactly! Well put.

Women, argue PUAHaters, will only go out with good looking alpha males and would never look twice at anyone who isn't a musclebound dreamboat with a six-figure income, and most men will never be those things, and so the world is against them and life is unfair.

Oh noes! :(
