Have you ever had a windshield replaced? They’re usually the first place a lot of insurance companies recommend, at the very least, even if you don’t use them.

My husband and I always talked about adopting, even before we found out we both have fertility issues. When we seriously started researching our options it turned out that IVF was both cheaper (thanks state of Illinois for mandating fertility coverage!) and most likely faster than adoption. It’s still something we…

except it feels like you do want to victim blame...........

There are very few children who are true orphans with absolutely no family who need to be adopted. Adoption is expensive and traumatizing. Adoptions are open now. It is not in any way equivalent nor should it be viewed as the consolation prize for infertility.

This right here is why it should be considered an etiquette breach of the highest order to ask someone if he or she is trying for a baby. Best case scenario, you’ve invaded someone’s privacy that does not intend to have children and is fine with it. Worst case, you deeply hurt the feelings of someone who wants…

Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt. When people ask me how many miscarriages I had before we ended up with an actual baby, I just say “fewer than 10.” Had them with fertility cycles, I had them between the fertility cycles. This is the way I know, at a gut, experiential level, that a fertilized egg is not a…

And CHIP insures kids until they are 21, not 18, like some plans, and covers dental too!!!

I. Am. Livid.

When Trump announced the ban, he said he’d made the decision “in consultation with my Generals,” an assertion which now begs the question: And which generals might those be?

I found out my ex was cheating when I was 8 months pregnant. I locked down emotionally and decided I could stick it out for two years, instead of taking my toddler and soon-to-be-newborn and trying to manage on my own. I was a SAHM so I frankly needed that financial security.

Thing is, Lord of the Flies was a response to a particular conceit of British pulp novels which depicted young boys/men being stranded as a fun adventure with little internal conflict. Golding took the subject of entitled British boarding school boys and the kind of savagery he saw in how they acted with each other…

They’re not teaching “context” much anymore, are they ... ?

I am a Jew. I would for sure think it was really weird and it would remind me of the Juden star immediately.

Unsolicited advice from someone who survived a very necessary estrangement from her own mother: beware of anyone who attempts to convince you that you should be able to look past this. I wish someone had told me 20 years ago that “blood is not thicker than safety.” Thank you and good luck.

It doesn’t matter- Trump’s followers are too stupid to understand that the Pershing story is bullshit and those that do just don’t care.

“Thanks for coming halfway across the world, Sean, but sorry, you can’t meet the pope” is the most hilariously petty bullshit in the world.

This is so funny it almost makes me like James Comey. It’s a confusing feeling.

Looking forward to my copy of ‘Rothkopf On Joanna: Who Am I? Who I Am, I Who Am.” - the bespoke limited edition, individually numbered and autographed by the author.

Oh god. This is the best book. So happy this has FINALLY made it onto a screen. I remember sitting up late one night reading the book and I got to one part and got so freaked out I closed the book and turn on infomercials (do they still exist?).

“I was trying to explain that all hospitals are required by law to treat patients in need of emergency care regardless of their ability to pay and that the Republican plan does not change that,”
