I saw a headline somewhere in one of my “news” aggregators that said something like “Prince George wears Crocs; parents everywhere smile knowingly”.

Once the pony hits 6 months, just go for it with ibuprofen. I held off and held off because I didn’t want to pour meds down BabyWebs’s throat, but it’s really the only thing that gave him relief.

Yeah, isn’t that the Dear Abby or Miss Manners approach? I need to have that one ready more often than I do. Usually I just stand there with one of those AYFKM faces until I awkwardly change the subject.

Yeah, I felt that way too, and a lady in neighborhood wanted to throw a shower for another friend who was pregnant with her third boy, relatively close to the second. The friend was hesitant, but the lady said, “every baby deserves to be celebrated!”, so the friend said okay and asked for only books (for any of her…

I hate this as a cocktail party question, but...what do you do?

Oh, to be “ugly pretty.”

This is kind of in the same vein as what has been bothering me about many of the Caitlyn Jenner discussions. I’m very happy that she is finally able to live her life as she needs to. BUT. I’m not optimistic about the reality show that she’s putting together—I’m afraid it’s going to be a version of “Extreme Makeover”…

“Two more inches would be great”

I use ‘em all! Ellipses, em dashes, semicolons, parentheses...my writing reads just like I sound when I talk (if that makes sense), which probably annoys some people but I never hear about it straight out... :-)

(Looks guiltily at the roughly 300 pairs of jeans I can’t bring myself to get rid of)

I am far from fluent in the language that should be used when discussing gender issues—I’m all stumbly and back-tracky and re-phrasey, so I love when someone else articulates such important points so concisely. I’ll be bookmarking this for when I’m trying to get a similar point across.

I am SOOO lame right now so I am way out of touch with respect to TV shows, but I am about to spend the next hour googling all of these beautiful people.

Isn’t he still together with that gorgeous tennis player? They should probably have a racket or two around. (racquet? racket?)

Alexander Skarsgard is looking more and more like his dad. I APPROVE.

YES. There is only ONE top hat-wearing dude. This guy will forever be a pretender.

YES, damn Athleta, they started tempting me, too. Now, my legs are nowhere near as shapely as the legs of the models the Tevas are adorning in the catalog, but that’s never stopped me before...

What a delightful read. Thank you for sharing!

Oh, yeah, the many-years-older fling. As in, way too old to use “LOL” in electronic communications. There was plenty of “you’re in trouble” and “you’re being such a bad girl” and “I’m going to give it to you”. I guess he thought he was the one in control (snort).

That looks like a post-deployment gradual beard shave down. I’ve never seen Mr. Webs get so creative with his facial hair as when he started with a gnarly deployment beard.

YES DRY HEAVING IS CORRECT.
