Well for one thing, we hadn't had sex more than once or twice a year for about three years running, despite my best efforts. So, I began to fully believe that I was unattractive and not worthy of love or sexytimes. Then one night I got wasted in a hot tub with a super fucking hot dude who totally made the moves on me.…

Ugh, that is super frustrating. Unfortunately I don't have any brilliant ideas about why some people believe those of us without kids can't possibly have an informed opinion on anything regarding children. But I do have a link to a good article about a Canadian parent who went through this - I think she sheds a lot of…

I dunno... a friend who got married last Fall did this for their gift registry, and I thought it was great. Easy gift (a few clicks on a website and boom, gift shopping done. Plus it meant not having to carry a potentially breakable/heavy gift in my luggage on the plane) and there were a range of priced activities to…

OMG I can't even believe there are people out there would do that... so obnoxious!

I have super oily skin and the only blush product I've found that actually stays all day is Benetint lip & cheek stain by Benefit. Plus you only need to use a bit, so one small jar lasts me about a year. Good stuff!

Yes - If I'd gotten pregnant in my 20s while married to the previous Mr. Ceiling Cat, it would've been a disaster because I just wasn't ready to take that plunge. Now things are different - I'm older, know myself a lot better, and am in a very happy, stable relationship with a man who I know will be a helpful,…

I think in this situation it's OK to be honest with your friend, i.e. "I can see you're struggling and I really want to help you. But you know I'm not a maternal-type, so I have no idea how to support you. Is there something I can do to help you out?" She'll respect that you're being honest about your uncertainty, and…

Thank you thank you for posting your feelings about 'mommyhood.' I never pictured myself becoming a mom, never saw myself as the 'mommy' type... but an unexpected pregnancy at 37 years old changed all that. Unfortunately that pregnancy miscarried, but now I'm pregnant again by choice... although I am sooo looking…

"animate pile of leather necklaces Robin Thicke"

I'm baffled by all the shit being flung your way on this thread... wtf?!

I was 21, and visiting my boyfriend at the time, who was a hippie type living on a small hippie island in the Pacific Northwest. His "house" was more like a cabin the size of a shoebox that he'd built himself a few years prior. While I was visiting, he had to go out for a few hours one evening to fulfill a volunteer…

Seriously... dude is such a slimeball. How does anyone find that attractive? He must really know how to turn on the charm when he's all coked and boozed up?

I also miscarried 4 months ago, and we had announced the pregnancy on FB just 2 weeks prior. I decided to post about the miscarriage too, because it felt empowering not to allow shame to play a role in my grieving process. I also didn't want to deal with potential questions from people who would have inevitably…

I am also 37 and miscarried my first pregnancy in early February, at 13 weeks. Hugs.

Yep. My reaction exactly.

This is so true. A few weeks ago, I returned home after a blissful tropical vacay spent doing sweet eff-all... for about a week after I got back, I felt like I was floating in that dreamy, ultra-relaxed high. But then last week, it was almost like I could literally feel the bubble burst, and reality set back in. I…

Personally, I don't hate plastic surgery, nor the people who choose to get work done. I haven't had any myself, but I wouldn't turn down a chin-tuck, boob job, or a little lipo if I could afford it.

I'd hire someone to carry all my shit around for me on a daily basis, like a mule: my keys, bag, umbrella, shopping bags, scarf, extra layer in case a cool wind kicks up, etc. This is my rich-person dream; I am a klutz and hate not having my hands free.

I had a copper IUD. Hormonal IUDs might be more effective?
