I should probably clarify. Healing and art and social injustice are all wonderful things, but unfortunately not everyone in the world is capable of feats like that. However, most of the world can have a child.

God. I wish I could say that I learned about smegma on Wikipedia. She is very lucky :-/

I totally get your anxiety and you are right, there is an EXTREME amount of pressure put on women (usually by other women sadly enough) to stay at home. I've never felt the mommy-pull, so whenever I have supported women going back to work, I've been accused of "just not liking kids." Nothing could be further from…

I agree 100% with your thoughts. Luckily this will probably never have to be something I worry about since my fiance and I have agreed not to have any, but in addition to the financial risks and time off work, I have never felt that I would be one of those women who would even make a good SAHM. It truly is a calling…

Well, I certainly hope there was more than just that passage. Not that I EVER condone book banning but if they are going with the offensive to the religion angle, it really doesn't show Mormons (including Smith) in a good light. At all.

When reading this story I got totally confused by the abrupt change in the middle from a mystery to a travelogue of a desert. I was convinced that I had somehow gotten a copy that had been constructed with two separate books.

I have always thought that even if a majority of your pay is going into daycare, does it makes sense long-term to be a stay-at-home mom? After all, your child is in daycare for approx. 4 years, yes? That means being out of the work force for 4 years. Four years where your contemporaries are still working and…

First you reference Choose Your Own Adventure Books, and now this post.

Thank you for this screen shot. Awesome orgasm face.

I dream of Pam killing Tara. How Tara has managed to NOT be killed this far is beyond me.

Well ... that's ok but it is still all about English football for me. All those lovely lean men and at the end of matches they all take off their shirts. Nice.

I imagine this is what their proposal looked like ...

It is just like the end of Melrose Place ... One of them should be pretending to be dead though.

TJ Maxx is my go-to spot for .. well .. everything. I travel for work and the first thing I do after booking my hotel is find the nearest TJM and print out some directions. Be still my heart if there is more than one ...

I am hypnotized. I will be singing this for the rest of the day.

Thus is the magic power of CYOA books. My favorite is Who Killed Harlow Thromby?

Goddamn I love Choose-Your-Own-Adventure books. If I see them at a book sale I can't help but buy them ... and I am in my 30s.

No - not as much as a period but I did wear something that evening. One of those useless pantyliners I believe.

The first time I had sex, my hymen was broken (and it hurt like hell) and I most definitely bled. All over my boyfriend's bed. He told his mother he had gotten a nosebleed :)

I certainly agree with the your biggest point - that women often wait for other reasons.
