This just gave me PTSD.

It's been awhile or, but... How about:

Seriously. Debutantes and society gals do this all the time. I think being Jewish gives both men and women some breathing room on this because, although getting married is a big damn deal to Jews in general, we get to have the bride experience with our Bar/ Bat Mitzvah(s). It's exactly like planning a wedding and…

As long as you did it at your own pace naturally, and not because you were forced to, I'm gonna say 'no'. Everyone has their own internal schedule, I think. I was cooking family meals, cleaning, and caring for my (autistic) brother after school at 14. Both my parents were working because we lived in a…

I clicked through - why did I click through? - only to be greeted by this:

Not according to my Mom's friends. I was a fuzzy baby and they would try and 'comfort' her* by saying "Oh, she can wax that when she gets older."(?!)

I would like to see Israeli women training Egyptian women at Krav Maga. That would be bad-ass.

Am I the only one being bombarded with frigging "women-eating-oatmeal commercials/ try our NEW oatmeal!" commercials, too? What's with that? do only women eat oatmeal now??

Pad See Eew with chicken, two scoops of hand-made ice cream (blueberry cinnamon & chocolate), and (so embarassing) a Jell-o pudding snack. About to have a bowl of cherries and a couple of apricots. Does that make it healthy?

PERFECT! Can I quote you? This sums it up exactly.

Exactly! Some of those fine-gauge cotton are actually quite costly to produce. And the final quality of the cloth is entirely dependent on the raw fibers. Poor grade fibers will be prone to breaks, splitting, and inequal spinning - meaning the final cloth will be uneven, likely to shrink, and fray quickly.

As a bona fide textile artist, I can tell you that quality has definitely plummeted - and for a reason. The cheaper the clothes, the cheaper the materials are they start with. And cheap materials (such as low-grade cotton, wool, etc.) come from unhealthy plants and animals, which negatively affects the whole process…

Ditto. And a very bitter one at that. I finally made it work at one place by asking my boss if she was going to reimburse me the fee for the class I was going to miss - which, I feel it necessary to note, I had scheduled for AFTER the business was closed.

Well, condoms are not prescribed by a doctor, so there's a difference in price and availabilty. If the Pill was available OTC at a reasonable price, this wouldn't be an issue.

That was exactly my thought!

Aside from my initial anger and blind rage at this non-measure... Am I the only one who finds Morality in Media's URL hilarious? I mean, www.pornharms.com... really? How often do we want to bet they get visitors looking for porn, with that address??

Two things - art from Pompeii: (man going down on nude woman)

KITTENS!!!

Apparently my bitch face is kind of scary. I can't count the number of people who've come up to me (quite hesitantly and/ or fearfully) and asked "Is something wrong?"

To be fair, I think it depends on the parents. My mom was 33 and my dad was 47 when they had me, and then they had my brother 3 years later. We've done great and they've always had lots of energy, etc., we did Scouts and camped and travelled a lot. A number of friends with even older parents (40 & 50 when they were…
