They really are like giant toddlers/Great Dane puppies who won't take a nap when they (or I) need one. I second you with The Wiggles, I just had a flashback the other day when someone mentioned fruit salad (sorry). I'm so glad our Things behave, I really don't know what I'd do if they were this gigantic and wild, too.…

Sometimes, hard work isn't enough. It is not a defeatist attitude to be realistic.
Yet another anecdote; broad hips, oddly narrow pelvic opening. Read everything, eschewed ultrasound, found a Dr. that let me roam with a leaky amnion for days while in labor. Ended up with a C-section, happy baby with a cervix-shaped…

There are no shiny lapel pins awarded for natural childbirth, the breastfeeding olympics, diapering origami, locovore feeding or winning at school roulette.

I just keep telling mine the man-funk and moss-mouth he insists on sporting is a form of birth control. Keep rolling with that, buddy, I don't need any girls calling here anyway.

I am with you, I have a similarly disposed man-child that ate a perfectly delightful baby-man and finds amusement in using his vastly increased mass & strength to bowl me over with a "hug." At least he can reach the high shelves and haul stuff now.

I thought May was public sex month. Dammit.

Sherri Shepherd needs to stick to words other people write for her to say out loud, she's not very good at coming up with intelligent thoughts all on her own. She might even need an aide. Ugh. Stop making stupid people famous.

I think the age of first viewing of this movie determines whether one will get lasting enjoyment from repeated viewings, or pray to never see it or hear of it again. Sadly, I was past the age of pleasure in the experience. Thanks for the recap, now I remember why.

That is some Pixar level shit right there.

I do love "The Princess Bride," Buttercup's empty-headed character doesn't ruin the otherwise witty banter. There's plenty of stupid to go around in the movie, it isn't just the ladies; Carol Kane's character makes up for Buttercup a bit. (It could have used less Billy Crystal, though, a little of that goes a long…

Yes! I remember feeling gross for having paid to see this crap at the time. Blech, for all the reasons you mentioned and more.

I'm reading a lot of the replies to this and other posts on bc, and it seems like a LOT of women are experiencing debilitating periods that require medical intervention of some sort. I've had a couple of periods like this myself, but nothing on the scale I've seen described here (fortunately). Are there any studies on…

I never "got" fur. Aside from issues with harvesting fur, I don't understand why people wear it, juxtaposition with skin only accentuates the opposite of dewy-adorableness aspect of whatever human is inside it—unless it's a baby wrapped in fur, I suppose. It feels really nice, but that is not usually the criteria for…

The unhinged rage on the face of some geezer at a PP protest where I was participating in a "hold the line" clinic defense in the 90s made me realize that irrational misogynistic hatred was the actual adversary hiding behind the religious zeal. We were all sandwiched together on either side of a metal barrier, and…

I like this. It is a good precedent. Many teams would benefit from a reboot to underscore that the gravity of this kind of asshattery vastly overshadows their (inflated sense of) importance as participants in organized sport.

Are wedding photos now porn shoots? Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd want to know if this is going to be expected before signing on to be a bridesmaid. I'd prefer my ass turn up anonymously online, rather than in the memorabilia of someone I know. It's a quirk.

Nah, we only read that first bit. Once we realized one of the main characters was supposed to have lived for practically a millennia, and they meant it literally, we lost interest in the story line. We were reading Genesis out loud, but there were too many continuity errors to hold the interest of my pre-teens. I…

Just like Moses!

Is it because we're still waiting for them to move out and give us some alone time? Because I can believe that (they're teenagers now, pardon my cynicism).

No, Sam's Club is imitating Costco, including the membership requirement, but omitting the quality treatment of employees.
