GOOD BOY. GOODEST BOY.

This is one of the very best ghost stories I’ve read in several years of these posts, and was also such a palate-cleanser after going through way too much of the not-supernatural scary stuff.

Follow up: just now, thinking about this story, I went to look at the registry of deeds for the town I grew up in. They’ve got everything digitized now, so I was able to look up the closing paperwork for the house. There, my parents both signed, as did a notary, but the witness section?

I was really surprised at how he stood by Bethenny! She seems so easy to dislike... and Carole is so dang likable. I just don’t get it at all. I agree she was too good for the show but I LOVE HER and she was the only reason I watched. Now who’s left to root for? Tinsley I guess? Sonja is hilarious. So I guess there’s…

Bethanny got a BEYOND generous edit this season, and she STILL seemed like a total nutcase in regards to her interactions with Carole.

Carol was always too good for the show and she really was tugged into the dirt.  Andy backed the wrong person here. Bethany is cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

Bethenny is insufferable. Andy is wrong (and desperately clinging to his wrongness). And Carol is my kuhweeeeeeen.

Team Carol over here.

...the posts were not meant to be public—they were “the result of an ongoing family dispute.

Thanks I feel like I am shamed even by my friends in a way... “are you still nursing” - in which I feel the need to give them all the details why I am not.

I am sure this will get flack - but - 

I really wish my boobs shrank when I lost weight. All I want is smaller boobs and a flatter stomach, but of course, those are the last places I see results. Figures.

I come at this conversation from a slightly different angle. I am DYING to get a breast reduction. In fact, I just reached out to a doctor today for a consultation about one. I wear a 34G, and I absolutely hate the way my breasts impact everything in my life, from what I wear to how I exercise. I regularly have pain…

This reminds my random mind of a story, where my husband had a ‘friendship’ with a goose who lived in the park-area around his workplace. He named her Gertrude (or Gurty, like the character in ET), and he really liked her. Then, one day, She was out there hanging out with Richard, and my husband was over the moon!…

I know that lots of women are able to. I just can’t imagine how it works. Definitely not for me but maybe it’s because I’m really short and I am like, all baby by 10 weeks or so. By the end of my pregnancies my underwires from my bra would get pushed up by my stomach. And I had hyperemesis gravidarum so I was actually…

Ta-da!

My mom had that when my little brother was born and the both of them almost died (it was bad). They really wanted a third child but couldn’t. I think they would have gone the adoption/surrogacy route if they’d had the money but they didn’t.

She had severe preeclampsia (a high blood pressure disorder) which can be deadly to both her and the baby if mismanaged. She also had to deliver North 6 weeks early because of it, since delivery is the only cure.

Yes, I also forget the name but basically something went wrong with the placenta and she could have bled to death. Her doctors said no way would she be able to safely carry another child. I do really appreciate how open Kim has been about not loving pregnancy and having a hard time with it, I know she’s not…

I remember going to the gym the morning after this happened, and watching it unfold on one of the TVs there. A senior citizen decided he needed to tell me, quite loudly, that this was some sort of divine retribution for sin. I told him, just as loudly, that it’s fortunate most of his generation is in the process of…
