Thank you for perfectly articulating how wrong this whole mess feels and for standing up against the bullies. Why does a debate between educated adults always end up involving insults and put downs around here?

I often avoid commenting when I feel like I don't have anything interesting to add to the conversation that hasn't already been mentioned, but also because the scrutiny can be a bit intense among commenters. In any case, thanks for clearing up the misunderstanding and for your support. I hate that you have felt…

Hi itscocopop,

I want to thank you for using "fetus soup" so close to "I am not a doctor" in this glorious comment.

Hum, you're definitely a badass in my book!

Damn, that lady is a BOSS.

Good to know!

That would be all kinds of IN.TENSE.

Yeah, I was wondering about that. Aren't you supposed to avoid all kinds of intense exercising when you're pregnant? Performing (and all the rehearsing that goes with it) for a big show like that seems unsafe, but then again, I'm no doctor.

Annie Hall was actually based on Diane Keaton (Annie is her nickname and Hall her real last name), and those quirky mens wear outfits were all inspired by her own wardrobe.

Woah, thank you so much for your detailed and informed answer! My partner and I have been thinking about vacuum sealing and usually like to buy professional cooking equipment (he's obsessed with quality) so we'll definitely be looking into the Minipack.. We cook a lot, from scratch, and have many left overs that we…

I don't cook sous vide with ziplocks (seems dangerous?), I meant sous vide as in vacuum sealed. I'd love to get a vacuum sealer, not to cook-just to preseve, but I have this fear that the bags will end up costing too much in the long run. Is that true? What is your experience with it?

When using zip lock bags to freeze food I put a straw in to suck out all the air, when most of it is gone I remove it and then tightly seal the bag. It avoids freezer burn, makes thawing much faster (I don't use a microwave so I thaw food in cold water), AND saves up a lot of space in the freezer as everything is…

I get where you're coming from, this is so par for the course that we don't even notice it anymore. But let's not lose hope! Despite what I said earlier, I still think Pharrell is a smart and talented guy. His "Happy" video was incredibly touching a relatable in it's diversity, so I'm sure this is just a stupid…

You mean featuring a real human being with her quirks and flaws instead of a sanitized idealized version of a doll? We're talking about a revolution of epic proportions here! Careful, MTV's NSA might already be on to you..

You're absolutely right, and that's the problem. The lyrics and the visuals don't compute. What is the point of praising strong, intelligent women if all he's ever surrounded with are traditionally (safe) pretty girls?

Divine's I'm So Beautiful is the best love yourself jam out there!

No worries! You'll always have options to choose from if it's indeed a hormonal issue. Also, ask your doctor about maca, a herbal supplement that helps balancing out hormones naturally (vetted by my gyno!).

It looks like you've got a hormonal situation there.. Get yourself to a good gyno/endocrinologist stat!

I can't drink regular milk or else my stomach hurts so buttermilk is my low fat alternative with bonus healthy bacteria. I drink it pure or in a milk shake.
