The only granola I like turns out to have so many sweeteners in it (give me all the brown sugar/maple anything) that the only difference between it and a candy bar is the fiber content.

It’s like the joke about vegans, “How do you know someone went to Harvard/Yale? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you.”

Stargate Atlantis for Jason Momoa.

My pug gets a mini hip massage every morning when she gets out of bed. Pugs are prone to hip problems and she’s 11 without any. I don’t know if the hip massages are part of it but she clearly enjoys them and it is a nice start to her day.

With family overseas, I’ve always had a passport. I have absolutely no idea what my previous passport numbers were.

States’ rights!

Thanks. I’m now in the 3rd trimester with a textbook-healthy pregnancy. It has relieved some of the trauma of that and a previous loss but can’t wait for kiddo to come out, so I can hold him.

I’m calling shenanigans on them not being able to find her IUD once she was pregnant. Not being able to feel the string via vaginal exam? Sure. But my doctor could count and measure my egg follicles with a standard transvaginal ultrasound and they are much smaller and harder to distinguish than an IUD (which I have…

My doc told me not to stick anything up there for a week (although my insertion was also particularly difficult so she may have extended that) and then condoms for a month to be certain with my Mirena. I’m also leaning toward user error and that is about the only time you can have user error with an IUD.

Well, quite a few of them are either stupid or unaware of how woefully undereducated they are about their own bodies.

Yeah, sounds like despite having had IUDs before, mom didn’t listen to standard post-IUD placement instructions. 1) No putting anything in your vaginal canal for a week (tampons, fingers, penises) to avoid infection. 2) Barrier method contraception for a month after placement.

You know when you really don’t wanna see those pictures? When your reproductive endocrinologist says you might be in the midst of one, but takes 3 1/2 weeks to make a diagnosis. In the meantime, you’re walking around wondering if your already-wonky reproductive organs are gonna blow at any minute.

She’s window dressing, not an advisor, when she isn’t ever heard. Or, she is as big a piece of shit as daddy dearest. Neither merit benefit of the doubt.

Perhaps. But I imagine that the difference between a $100 bottle of wine and a $300 bottle of wine is far more subtle than the difference between $10 and $30 bottles.

Twitch isn’t really my thing, but I’ve heard of this happening in the podcast world and can see how it happens. While I listen to some podcasts purely to learn about a topic, many of them I listen to because I am interested in the topic AND I feel like the hosts are people I’d enjoy hanging out with. Podcasts can feel…

Ohhhh, that I could legitimately put on my baby registry. The gold helmet, I suppose not.

I saw an interview with him in a documentary about character actors (I think it was “The face is Familiar”) and Danny Trejo seems pretty pleased with his work. He was especially thrilled when he saw a casting description that was looking for a “Danny Trejo-type actor.” From that interview and what else I’ve heard, I…

Can trained sommeliers?

Functional drunks are still alcoholics, they’re just more “functional”...until they aren’t.

I want that cake right now.
