If I should ever win the lottery, I will make sure that your shelter benefits from it. Your posts make me feel better about the world & I would adopt them all if I could.

I met my birth mother and spent ten days with her in Portland. Also met my two half-sisters and nieces and nephew.

IS THIS THE CUTEST BABY OR WHAT

Hey everyone! I’m so glad to be SNS-ing tonight because I’m alive, and home from a week in a local hospital’s ICU! Things looked grim a week ago, when the doctor in the ER thought that I had had not one but two heart attacks, and in any event, I was in heart failure. Right??? Terrifying!

I once had a nursing mother accidentally spray me with breast milk while we were on the subway.

On the train, I started to smell something foul. I glanced towards the back where there was a young woman changing a poopy diaper. Not the greatest situation, but I shrugged it off.

Martina Clements, 41, a Portland mom who didn’t vaccinate her two children until recently, said the anti-vaccine community uses fear to raise doubts about vaccine safety. But parents who support immunizations can be belittling.

Seems Dr. Sanderson experienced an unconscious coupling.

I was friends with a woman that bought a house at the same time she found out she was pregnant. She had registered for an expensive set of knives, a microwave, other housewarming type gifts on her baby registry. As I was shopping at Target for a gift, I am internally screaming about how tacky this is. I show up to…

Woo! I’ve got one! So, this chick was the SiL of my best friend, and when the baby shower invites  get  around, my best friend *begged* me to go because “jesus christ Heathens, this bitch is insane and I need a damn witness”

I AM TOTALLY WINNING THIS ONE.

Okay, this was not over the top, but I bet I can take the cake for most pathetic baby shower. My twins had just been born super early and in dire condition. They were the size of squirrels and ensconced in the NICU unable to breathe on their own, but my aunt insisted on going through with the shower she had planned. I…

The time a certain relative got so upset about a younger sibling getting pregnant first that she decided to get pregnant as well. During the shower.

Disagree. Feminism acknowledges that there are problems with capitalism. Buying space in another (much poorer) woman’s body because you have the cash is an issue that’s worth pondering.

Pro-choice means pro-choice. We shouldn’t be snarky about a woman choosing to have or not have a baby/more babies.

NYE used to be my favorite holiday - we spend it with friends doing a sort of small-dish cook-off, there is a lot of drinking, we go outside at midnight and druknenly sing - and it’s a beautiful way to ring in the new year. Someone always goes too wild, but whatever we’re among friends!

Last year was “sloppy” though -…

Man, there’s a lot to hate about New Yorkers, such as living in the biggest tourist attraction in the nation and then complaining about tourists, but I’d have to say the douchiest New Yorker bit of this piece would be calling Philly and Boston “small.” Their metro areas are roughly 7 million and 5 million people…
