Going to a chiropracter 2x week was the only thing keeping me walking during my last trimester of my last 2 pregnancies. My sciatic was killer, and I also had SPD. I got therapudic massages once a month.

We have 3 cats. We currently have 2 dogs, but are getting another in November, so 3 dogs. We have 3 kids.

We’re obviously crazy. The dogs sleep in their crates at night (though the new puppy I’m wavering on)- and the cats go outside. No litter boxes either.

Yes yes, indoor cats are better, blah blah- until you own a…

+1 Function, -1 fashion. A valid trade for helping someone move.

My husband’s family is Jewish- reform. We go to Seder and a Chanukka at their house. They often invite non-Jewish friends/relatives and many show up. One Seder this friend/distant cousin brings her chef husband. He brings brie wrapped with filo dough and blackberry jam filling (SO good) and these little puff pastry…

Ugh, does it stink like troll in here or is it just you?

“show me someone who eats 3000 calories a day that doesn’t work out and isn’t fat”

One *could* assume that, but that doesn’t mean one is correct.

Depends on the frame. I’m a large frame person- wrists nearly 7” around- and I am 5’1”. I have linebacker shoulders- I find I often cannot even fit in shirts that are supposed to be my size across the chest/back/shoulders. If I were 135lbs, I would be very thin. When I was 115-120lbs, people often asked me if I was…

Took the words right out of my mouth.

except there are approximately 3 million other animals there that are going to actively tried to kill you.

There was an excellent article that may have been linked on Jezabel at some point (I forget where I read the article it was linked from), that goes over that. It comes down to the fact that molestation = infidelity = rape = fornication for fundamentalists. He was found guilty (by his community), punished (but not…

I am not against abortion, I fully support abortion remaining legal, safe, *and* accessible to all. I would not, however, choose to have an abortion under the circumstances in this story. It is against my personal beliefs- which have nothing to do with religion. Maybe I would for rape, I have not experienced that so I…

I was wrongfully terminated from a job once. Young, unmarried female. You know why I didn’t get a lawyer? Because I couldn’t afford it. Not with the money I didn’t have and not with the time I needed to actually work another job that I needed to pay my bills. Lawsuits are great- and I hope some benevolent lawyer…

Wait until after they get that huge-ass earthquake the scientists claim is coming to destroy the PNW.

My cousin’s husband posted on FB just today that if he would’ve been in the theater he would’ve taken the guy out. To be fair, he is trained military. But there were trained military in the Aurora theater, so… I think everybody should be linking that experiment they did to see if gunowners would or could do anything…

Holy. Shit. It’s been altered. They added/changed the audio and altered the video. Watch from 32:34- the road and vehicles that pass multiple times (and disappear), and the lights on the tow truck during him recounting smoothly the entire time to dispatch.

God so much this.

Tampa Bay has Doorstep Delivery, Take Out Butler, and Mobile Meals. Kind of nice to get something other than pizza and Chinese delivered.

I think children should be taught that if they want something and the parents can’t afford it, that it’s not in the budget. They should know that money is a finite resource.

“Unless they are very sheltered, they don’t know what surgery is”. There, fixed that for you. My son is five. I promise you he knows what surgery is. He knew what surgery was quite a while ago, I can’t really pin down when. My mom had surgery recently, so it was rather easy to tell him about that. Last Christmas he…
