I had a great experience with a lactation specialist as well. I successfully nursed my oldest child for well over a year and intended to do the same for my middle child. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go past 6 month due to a medication that is well known for interfering with nursing, but regardless of that fact I had…

Unfortunately unless funding is increased and people become more aware of how common this disease is there is no way it can be cured in 10 years. I had no idea how many people suffered from schizophrenia until it happened to someone I love and I started paying attention to it.

Ohm I thought she was! I don't think her boyfriend is as famous as Biebs though. I would so rather it be asimp than Selena. I know I'm a grown woman who shouldn't care, but my 8 year old loves that girl!

Being in Manhattan certainly helps. Everything is expensive there. I went to a catholic school in Queens that is just a nice as the one Suri is going to and it cost a fraction of the price. Like 5K a year, which was still a lot to me.

That makes sense because Britney's fiance is older so he might have decided to jump off the baby train already.

I was thinking that too, but Mariah Carey is also known to be a bad tipper. I don't know if she would count as young though and Ashelee Simpson is also known to be a stingy tipper, but they are both married so they don't fit the story.

Well said. I didn't think of it that way before now. I read Jon Krakauer's Under The Banner Of Heaven many years ago and he made a similar point. It's a really good read and an eye opener about Mormonism.

That wasn't what I was trying to say you were saying, I apologize for not being more clear. I agree with you.

No worries. I am dealing with a close family member that was recently diagnosed and isn't taking her meds, so I've been doing a lot of research about the subject. Much of the info I've been reading comes from this site

Trust me, I don't think there is any comparison between the two other than the occasional (for Clinton) or constant (Romney) gaff. And Clinton is still a sexy beast in my opinion.

I'm sorry. I don't agree with Mittens politics at all, especially after he became uber conservative Mitt instead of Massachusetts moderate Mitt, but he is a good looking dude if you're into the whole stately, salt and pepper hair thing. I am deeply ashamed of myself, but I would probably do him.

I don't think that is a predominately Caribbean or African American thing. I am white and I experienced the same thing as a kid when I briefly moved from a middle class neighborhood in Ohio to a trailer park (no judgement please) in Indiana. The kids in Ohio couldn't care less what I had on my feet or where my clothes…

Agreed. I think the real issue should be how awesome it is that this young black female is the best female gymnast in the US. It's a credit to Gabby's talent and perseverance.

It's got to get boring sitting there for hours watching everything. When we see it on television it seems fast paced and fun, but when you're actually there it can be draining. My oldest daughter did gymnastics for a while, as well as other sports and while I support her and I think she's awesome, the meets can seem…

I think Gabby Douglas is a wonderful role model for my daughters regardless of what her hair looks like after hours of grueling practice and competition. It's bad enough that any woman should have to hear this stuff, but she's a young girl. I for one and proud of how she is representing my country and I wish I had the…

I feel the same way. My in laws are shocked that we can live as well as we do on my small income and my husband's slightly larger income. We got this way by not taking on student loan debts (I worked my way through college, my husband went to a vocational school and then the army), budgeting and planning well. I've…

Laura Bush had a career and did a ton of work for literacy and other causes. She is also pro-choice and for gay marriage, so I hardly see a comparison between the two. I'm not a Bush basher, but I could never see the attraction between W and Laura, because of their differing political opinions. Laura Bush has more…

Agreed. I actually like Laura Bush and I could never understand her attraction to W. She is always so laid back and not ostentatious, so I doubt if she went with him for the money. He must be a good lay.

I actually don't think she's a bad person. At one point I was very involved with politics in the north east (mostly NY but also Massachusetts and Connecticut) and know some people who worked with the Romneys for various things. Apparently she is a nice lady and she treats her staff well (though people who claim she…

That reminds me of my mother in law. My in-laws went through some financial troubles when the economy tanked yet she was still out shopping and updating her home. She would cry poverty but refuse to sell any of her ridiculously expensive jewelry to help pay the bills. She isn't a bad person at all, she's actually very…
