No idea on any of her reasoning, just commenting on the possible reasons for the word choice and why she wouldn’t be able to travel.

But it can be done with fertility treatments, which do require planning and scheduling.

Look, I’m trying to be happy for her but I feel like this really decreases the chances that she’ll adopt me.

She can afford to hire someone else to chase a toddler.

Bummer!

It is reassuring that an unrelated lawyer is the one managing her money. I wonder if her dad as conservator of the person was something that reassured her during a rough time? If you have a good relationship with your parents and associate them as being caregivers, I can see how having him remind you to take your meds…

The entire series is on Hulu. So good. Starts off like a Friends rip-off (six friends! married couple! on/off couple! but there’s a gay guy too!) but has a much sharper, quirkier sense of humor.

I worked with a couple of ridiculous sanctimommies in a small office and would randomly text my mom notes like, “Thank you for having an identity away from me so that I didn’t grow up feeling this pressure to be the center of your world at all times.”

Is her father part of her life now? If so, how does he not punch Allen in the face every time he sees him? Oof.

I have a 10 year old brother and I occasionally watch those shows and am filled with rage the entire time. Just so awful.

I remember him being interviewed on, like, Leno or something when they were dating and how he was talking about how he had this amazing girlfriend and how he didn’t understand how someone so cool was with him but he was going to roll with it because hey why not? It was adorable and I love that for all his cynicism…

Yes to allll this. For years his thesis was that she was an adult fully capable of being in a relationship and making this grown up decisions, he was never part of her life growing up, etc. And now he plucked her from an orphanage in Korea and has given her this great life.

The Creepy Connie episodes of Jessie are shown, like, 12 times a day. It’s so fucking weird.

RIGHT?! WTF, dude?

I asked two vets about that neutralizer and both said that it can hurt the dog long-term. I’d rather deal with one dead patch of grass in the corner of my yard than a ton of vet bills and/or a dead dog.

I was recently a judge in a hot dog contest (jealous much?) and one of the mystery ingredients was cream cheese. The dude who won used it very sparingly and it was a nice complement to the chili (aww yisss).

Seriously. This is like an STD and should have been disclosed prior to the engagement.

That scene with the baby...oh god. I asked my husband, “So instead of rape, tonight we’re getting babies and new moms mauled by dogs? FUCKING COOL SHOW.”

Not a mom so forgive my ignorance. I had a boss who pumped regularly (locked office - how lucky for her!) and she always had to be near an outlet. I wonder if that’s why she went to the restroom? Sadly, I bet she also had some concerns about complaints if she pumped at the gate or on the plane so she was trying to…

I kind of love that boy, but in like, a big sister/cool aunt way because I am old.
