You're being deliberately obtuse. The person you replied to was speaking specifically about the OISTNB storyline, and not any other storyline.

I'm also in a similar situation. My fiance and I started out like rabbits and were like that for a long time, but for the past couple years I've had chronic UTIs. No matter what kind of precautions we took, I got them constantly and was on antibiotics all the time. After a while, the sharp pains of the UTIs meant that…

I can still sit the way that little girl sits. I try not to do it in company because it's not exactly the most flattering way for a grown woman to sit. Sure is comfy though!

This is when I'm thankful to now be an Old Person, having been born in the 70s. More often than not I hear the Weird Al parody before I hear the song it's based on. So I heard the parody of "Fancy" (that's "Handy" to Weird Al) and thought, "wait — that's a real song that got played on the radio and is a hit record?"

At first I thought it was a picture of Lisa Bonet. I'm showing my age.

I'm white. Many times in an academic setting my written work has been praised as "articulate" or "well-phrased." There's nothing wrong with praising someone for their articulation. You all are jumping all over this commenter. Please everyone get off your high horse and calm the fuck down.

They're not my friends, they're my fiancé's friends. I told him that if we ever go to a party where people are doing it, I'll be turning straight on my heel and leaving. I've never seen blackface here in the US, but I'm sure it still happens. I remember the Julianna Hough thing from last year.

I lived in Scotland for three years and I'm moving back next year because I'm marrying a Scot. At Halloween, it's not uncommon to see people there doing blackface. My fiancé would never do it, but he has friends who do. And the joyful ignorance with which they seem to do it makes me choke with rage.

See Brooke Shields. At least this kid won't be remaking "Pretty Baby," which would never happen now. Hopefully what her mom is doing is enough to shield (heh) this little girl, unlike Brooke's mom.

In other news, Bette Middler shouted at some pesky kids to get off her lawn.

I used to really like Bryant Gumbel on Today. Jane Pauley, too. But I actually liked how Gumbel was no-nonsense. I used to think it was actually quite funny in itself, how grumpy he was. But I also just thought he was more urbane and cerebral than Matt Lauer. My favorite combo of all was Gumbel/Couric.

When I was pregnant earlier this year (it unfortunately ended in miscarriage), I was 95% sure I wanted a caesarian. It was just an instinct I had — I'm terrified of labor pains and I also have near-chronic UTIs — that it would overall be the best thing for me. Of friends who were already mothers, every last one of…

Perhaps, but I feel that the U.S. is way too squeamish about non-pornographic sex scenes. If it had transitioned directly into a scene where people got blown away with a machine gun, there wouldn't be any outcry.

Like everyone else here, I watched Daniel Radcliffe grow up onscreen. I have 13 years on him and he's pint-sized, yet I've had the hots for him for the past couple of years. The more I hear of him, the more it seems evident that he's the total package: talented, smart, nice, funny, cute, extremely solvent. Come to me…

I saw this the other day. It's so stupid and yet it made me giggle uncontrollably.

She looks fine, but she no longer looks like herself. It's sort of a sad commentary on the world she inhabits, but if she's happy fair enough. I do think she's protesting overmuch re: her current happiness. How happy can you be if you've only recently completely rearranged your face?

I'm just surprised that Mcconaughey, being a Texan, is a Skins fan. Huh. That said, I take his point about no one saying anything about the name for years and years and then all of a sudden it's unacceptable. Now that it's an issue, it is going to have to change though - but I see this being dragged out for as long as…

That was my EXACT same thought.

Wishing you the best of luck for your situation in the future! That's comforting to me that your mom first had a baby at 38. Best case scenario, I'll be a mother at 39. I spent a lot of time in my 20s and early 30s struggling in my career, and decided at 33 that I needed a big change, and went back for a masters and…

Thank you. I actually haven't done testing yet. I will call my OB/GYN and start looking into it.
