Yes, yes, we can.

OH YES! Anthony - that man was made for fucking. God(s) - Pullo was great, and he had such a fantastic sense of humor. I miss that show.

Fuck - Tyrion (because he's fun in and out of the sack) Jon (because he's smoking hot, a virgin, and he has a dire wolf)

They didn't do ANY work last week, just review for the test. The teachers hate them too. I heard a rumor they may not do them anymore in NJ, but who knows. They've been really stressful for my son, so I'm trying to be more understanding about his sleep issues.

Oh yeah, we're trying ALL the options! I've taken a stand MANY times, believe me. But he's extremely stubborn, and now the tests are on us, I don't want to argue at 3 am b/c he'll be exhausted in the morning. He's going with his dad and sister to see the Avengers as a treat tomorrow night — but ONLY if he stays in…

My husband and I were "attachment parents" for our two children, now aged 12 and 9. I nursed my first right through my pregnancy, and she had to wean at age 3 b/c her little brother had arrived and had first dibs on the boob. He nursed until just past his 3rd birthday too. I never nursed them in public when they…

I almost said the same thing last summer to my kids about one of the guys in Big Time Rush, but I managed to bite my tongue.

THANK YOU! Why is it so hard to call a vulva a VULVA? WTF people, your vagina should be pinky-red, and for heaven's sake, don't bleach it!

She's a wonderful writer too. I love it when beautiful celebrities are kind, wise, and ARTICULATE!!

For me DH always = Damn Husband.

Not an ignorant question at all! I was in AGONY the first 6 weeks with #1 until LLL helped me fix her latch. Then it was pretty smooth sailing, for #2 too. I HAD to nurse b/c I tasted formula once and it was disgusting, while breast milk is sweet and nice. Also I was convinced it was the ONLY thing to do for my kids,…

That's why I never bring my wallet with me to the park. (Actually, it's locked in the car, but the kids don't know that.)

I'll cast the Belgariad and Mallorean with you! Those are great books.

I loved this story! Baby Fiorentina used to champ down hard with her gums when she was straining to poop, the problem was this usually happened while nursing. She almost always pooped when she was latched on, so she'd be grunting and straining, while I yelped in pain and tried not o disturb her. Once I was changing…

I just posted about my daughter's experience above! Keep up the brushing and flossing, and he'll probably be fine with his adult teeth. My daughter had her cleaning today and has NO CAVITIES! I too felt like a horrible mom, especially after one of her fillings split and she developed a huge ABCESS in her mouth. We…

Because severe cavities are painful and if the roots are really messed up, the gums will get infected, and then the adult teeth can also be damaged. My 12 yr old had very thin enamel on her baby teeth and ended up with cavities, but we have such an amazingly gentle and kind pediatric dentist, he did it all with some…

I so agree about her use of melisma. In my opinion she used it more the way opera singers use vibrato. It always sounded natural, never overdone or forced. I hope young singers listen to her and understand that sometimes less is more.

Wow, this is so sad, especially for her daughter. I had her first album on cassette and I almost wore it out. I actually made a duplicate bc I was scared it would break. I was in HS (yes, I'm old) and I swear, *every* song on that album was perfect for various my teenage heartaches.

Yes and yes - kids that age often use words they've heard in bizarre contexts because they honestly don't understand what those words mean. My kids (12 and 9 yrs old) do that a lot, especially the 9 yr. old. The other week he told me about a kid at school who "said the N-word" and it was really bad. I asked him,…

My 17 year old cat Zerlina, (not the one in my avatar, she's only 4) is now totally deaf and a little blind too. However, when I don't feel well and go to bed during the day, she still has to check on me and usually washes my face as she sits on my pillow. She also has to sleep next to me every night. When my…
