You have to be over 18 to buy pseudoephedrine in some states (I can't find a federal age restriction). You also have to be over 18 to buy cough medicine in the Virginia CVS I go to, at least.

Y'all, the ID isn't to enforce an age. It's to track who buys it. They do the same thing with pseudoephedrine. If you go from CVS to CVS buying either, your sorry ass will be busted.

What I don't understand is why they're doing this in Southern New England...where the meth problem is almost non-existent. If they want to help the drug problem here, do a better job of tracking opiate refills?

Lawrence says they "manned him up a little" — and being able to swim is part of his manification.

Who needs to opt out? Apparently, entire careers can be supported on writing weekly articles for magazines about the question of whether and why women should or should not work when said women are also moms.

I'm done with these fucking articles trying to make me feel guilty for my choices. I chose to have a child, knowing that in making that choice, my career would be put on hold. I don't care, I'm still happy with my decision.

This artical seems super judgey to me. Most women who chose to stay home feel it's best for their families and themselves. It's awful that the decision they made backfired, but they are not bad people, women or even feminists for making that decision.

What frustrates me most is that every one of these articles finds a way to hold individual women personally responsible for the absurd cultural dynamics in which we try to function. And it's becoming clear that no matter what you do, someone will tell you that you were wrong - and probably make you believe it.

Pretty sure we wouldn't be posting a pic of a woman's cameltoe with a similar headline.

Whoah, whoah, whoah. I thought Pocohontas happened on Pandora.

Just to clarify: these women are Aborigines; in Australia, we would not refer to them as 'black'. (Obviously, their skin colour is highly relevant to this discussion, but I just found it a bit odd, in that at least for me, the two terms imply different minority groups). Would love to be better educated on this if…

Eating cookies like a crazed maniac was exactly what made Cookie Monster so ridiculously funny to 4 year old me - he did exactly what you were not supposed to do. The other monsters (if memory serves me) were a little wary of Cookie because they knew he'd eat all the cookies and that wasn't right or nice to do. He…

Idk, that's all well and good for a human. But who's to say the digestive system of a cookie monster is not intended for cookies all the time? Maybe he's vegetable intolerant?

My two year old loves the original Icona Pop version of this song. We dance to it every morning before I workout.

Not sure if anyone will reply to this, as I'm still in the grey, but I feel like this might be a good place to reach out to any Jezzies who have had surgery before and can maybe help me calm down.

After a long week, and a shift on the crisis line, I treated myself to a nice glass of LaBelle Gewurztraminer. What are other jezzies doing to treat themselves tonight?

Death List Five

This is cool, but ultimately not very helpful for me. H&M sizes are mega odd, and no matter how cute it looks on a hanger, it looks like a garbage bag full of used diapers on me.

I'm happy for all y'all, though.

Open threads are not the same when you are in the gray. :(
