I know what that is like. We eat very healthy in my family. My niece and nephew live with us, and when they first moved in the loved all the healthy food we offered. Well, not as much anymore (yay, power struggles!).

well, it was interesting with my father because he was so a-typical anyway. He was very gentle, loved to go shopping, loved baking ( I miss his pecan pralines sooo much!) and he was often home to take care of us kids and pack our lunches...but he just couldn't shake the desire to be the main provider...and to provide…

When society makes it clear to men that they have to be the bread winner, its hard for men to accept the place of lower incomer earner. My mother is an accomplished MD, my dad had huge organizational trouble thanks to an early massive head injury and had trouble keeping jobs. Mom worked 70 hours a week and earned her…

haha! +1!

I've long suspected this is partly due to the fact that much of fashion is dominated by gay men and completely subconsciously they see the ideal woman figure more of a young male body type. Which for women to have that size and shape, usually causes fertility issues.

yeah. I guess I'm a snob 'cuz i hate when people buy me fakey costume jewelry. Unless its rhinestones and I'm feelin' like Marylin Monroe, I never end up wearing it! But the good stuff? When I wear it I put it on display. Nothing like a fab necklace over a black turtleneck.

hahah. he jokes about locking me up in an ivory tower with a big moat, or keeping me pregnant and barefoot. But then I remind him he can barely pay from himself, hows he going to pay for that many kids? then he hangs his head, makes a sad face, and lets me go to work.

He is concerned with out of wedlock births...so he wants to prevent women from having access to birth control.

:( but I'm poor. I can't affords yet. What am I to do?! Be a good woman and get married or not get married? But the marriage isn't legit if its not consummated, but if I can't afford babies yet, then I shouldn't be having sexy time with my husband? Or should we have babies and use tax payer money to pay for my…

nyesss, nyess, report how costume jewelry is toxic so they will come to silversmiths like me. nyess. very good.

I'm gonna be married soon, so my crazy pill popping will be in the confines of holy matrimony. Does that make me a 1/2 slut?

Had this happen to me. I was doing martial arts and everytime I jumped I pee'd a little. Way too young to have bladder issues so I went repeatedly to the health center at my univeristy and just kept being told to do keigles. By the time my vagina could bend a steel bar and i was having the same issue I was 99.9% there…

Got a friend who works in the ER and he has had many cases of women who SWORE they were not pregnant, NOR had they had sex in the past year, but actually were.

pssht. whateve's, aussie shephards and aussie cattledogs are awesome. I've had both and they are truly smart, loyal, and gentle. My girl plays with rabbits and never hurts them. Australians should be proud to bare the name of such awesome dogs...think of it as a present we Americans gave.

Oh man! My boyfriends family apperently let everyone have their room and "theirs" and he says you couldn't even knock on their doors without permission! CRAZY! My family is way more chill and it drives him crazy. We knock, and we don't go into other peoples rooms without a reason, but i don't think its that bad. HE…

nooooo! don't ever pawn jewelry! that will fleece you so hard! either my sis or her hubby (the story kept changing) pawned a gold and ametrine necklace, an antique platinum wedding band set with diamonds and rubies and one other piece of jewelry and got $60. $60!!!!! With old gold prices, It should have been $200-300…

Yes i do. best pets ever....except they don't fetch.

Not to mention television and our culture in general tells kids its okay to talk back to your parents. you're a kid, what do they expect?! You watch sitcoms and how kids talk to their parents then watch as young children start copying the behavior. I have seen it with my niece: as she has watched more "Wizards of…

I am totally going to buy this for expecting friends....only i will give it black spots so it looks like MY sheep.

Thankfully in Oregon servers get min + tips. We had a Republican run for govenor last year and said some bs about creating a "training wage" for service industry people..basically hire people every 90 days and you can pay them pennies! Yeah, not a great idea in a state where most people have been or are part of the…
