I'm a science geek, and I read an unfortunate article about ten real and present global dangers. One of them was a scenario in which a volcano on an island in the Atlantic ocean was active, and in danger of erupting and thus catapulting about 90 tons of precarious rock on the island shelf into the ocean, triggering a…

That sounds like an appropriate response to a child that is so difficult.

HAHAHA! I know. So astute, these medical professionals.

Exactly. The OB asked me all the questions about PPD. Are you unusually sad all the time, are you scared you're going to hurt the baby, etc. And yet, I had PPD and didn't realize it until later. I wrote another post about the way I felt after my baby was born, but it wasn't until I had (luckily, sponteneously…

I've had four children. After my last one was born, I spent months feeling like everything was horrible. My life was horrible. The littlest things were tremendously, over-blowingly, overwhelmingly awful, and were in itself signs that my future was going to be awful.

Honest question: When did we put the onus of parenting on schools? Why aren't we telling parents to talk about this with their kids?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. And frankly, I do agree with the dress code, but not for the reasons they give.

You're right. Color me embarrassed.

Why would you advertise this and give them more hits?

Wait, why can't people be aroused by someone who's fully clothed?

Google Dionne Galace (dionnegalace.com?). She had a blog that had listed romances by grades, and if you read the A stuff, you'll do fine. She gives great reviews, but hasn't updated her blog in a long time.

That's for the serials, like Harlequin and whatever else there is out there.

I know! They make such good wigs these days! This wig doesn't (1) look silvery blond, just a weird yellowy blond (2) have a part! Normal hair parts, and she just has this weird cap thing that they try to disguise by having some updos all the time.

Margaery looks better as a brunette.

"House McHale"????

I love Robb because he never acted like he was above asking for advice. And he had all the "HONOR!" of Ned, but none of his intractability.

THEON??? I lost it with him with the whole mean dalliance on the ship.

Me too. I don't understand the love fans have for her storyline. I mean, at first when she's training with Syrio I had lots of hopes, but now that she's with The Faceless Men, I just think her character is going nowhere.
