This is why people prefer to talk about their pregnancy in terms of weeks- it’s more accurate. But then the non-pregnant people get all ornery about that because they only understand it in terms of months, so they think describing it in weeks sounds pretentious. Using months is pretty much just dumbing it down for…

Exactly! I feel like everything she does is carefully calculated to make herself look like this serene, selfless, angel, when in reality she’s a total narcissist.

VF may have gotten some details wrong, but I don’t know that I buy Angelina’s story, either.

When I first got my license in MI at 16 (this was 1995), I didn’t even have to take a road test. I’d passed driver’s ed to get my my permit, and then for my licenseI just had to pass the vision test and a very easy 10 question written test, which I took right at the counter. I’d taken driver’s ed in July and got my…

Omg that movie scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid. Also, the current administration scares the bejeezus out of me as an adult, so there’s that....

A baby is considered “full term” at 37 weeks, though doctors generally prefer they stay put until closer to 40 weeks, unless there are other complications that make it safer to have the baby sooner. A baby born at 36 weeks is likely to have slightly underdeveloped lungs, which would require a stay in the NICU until…

First Mooch attacks him to a reporter, then he gets canned and literally left on the side of a tarmac, then Mooch’s friend tweets that he’s having an affair...I was actually starting to feel a little bad for poor Reince! Then I remembered I hate Reince and he got himself into this, but then.....

Pregnancy is actually 10 months long (40 weeks), so she would have been considered 9 months pregnant at 36 weeks. If she was early in her 9th month, the baby could have been as much as a month early.

Have a fresh baked blueberry cake donut and you’ll understand. We were visiting my parents recently and my mom came home from the farmer’s market with a bag of them. OH MY GOD they were delicious.

YEEESSSS! You beat me to it. A crisp fall day, a fresh warm apple cider donut in one hand and a chai latte in the other. HEAVEN.  

I like to think that when Trump eventually gets arrested for one of his many many crimes, the arresting officers will heed his advice and rough him up. Put him in some size XS handcuffs and slam his fat bloated head into the doorframe of a cop car.

That line always gives me chills and makes me want to burst into tears.

Seriously. Fuck Paul Ryan. 29 people DIED on the Edmund Fitzgerald. Their bodies are still entombed on the ship at the bottom of Lake Superior. And somehow that compares to a bunch of rich, white imbeciles failing to pass a disaster of a health care bill!? Arghhh.

Not to mention, Chris Christie has always made a big point about “telling it like it is” , which is code for “being a ginormous asshole.” So I highly doubt his kids heard anything in the media that was any worse than what they’ve heard come out of their father’s mouth* The only difference is that this time it was…

A nurse friend of mine now works for the medical provider, doing the same concierge service and she says they absolutely do have access to your chart information (at least the basics) and that the nurse who called me was just lazy and didn’t bother to read the chart. I think she’s been using my story as a cautionary…

I can’t decide how I feel about this. I am furious that McCain is getting all the credit when it was Murkowski and Collins who have been opposed all along (though their reasons for opposing it differ from mine, but at this point, whatever), while he has had no problems screwing people over on health care before this.…

I think the way most medical providers (meaning the health systems) are incredibly insensitive and uncaring when it comes to pregnancy loss. Pretty much everyone I know has a horror story. And providers really don’t have an interest in changing, either. I could write a book about all the horrible experiences I had…

Between the long stretches of darkness and the Palins, hasn’t Alaska suffered enough? Plus, threatening a state full of people with guns doesn’t seem like a very bright idea.

It is really so much of a stretch to think that he’s sitting up at night watching 80's movies and taking copious notes on a clipboard? “Ooh yes, stinky fish! I’m definitely going to use that!” $50 says it’s only a matter of time before he yells “Put ‘em in a body bag, Johnny!” at someone.

Which one is Cain and which is Abel? Would be an awesome plot twist if Priebus was actually Cain and he killed Mooch.
