Nixon played a pretty good evil she-devil in uh, the Ken Follett World Without End miniseries.

Watching Criminal Minds feels to me a lot like watching bad porn. Hannibal is a lot more graphic, which I know is hard to imagine, but somehow it does feel like I'm watching something more meaningful. And I barely can look at the death scenes. I mean, I'll squeeze my eyes almost shut and glance over and then look…

Seriously! He was the best actor in this clip!

You will be okay! If your mom can, see if she can't get there for the delivery and then for a week or two after, at least. I had my MIL come and it was such a blessing. She just took over all the cleaning and cooking and everything. The first time she only came for a week, but the next two she stayed longer because…

For my first two kids, I had NO paid maternity leave and I was a freakin college professor. My fairly important state university had NO maternity policy in place. I also felt that I couldn't admit that I was feeling physically weak. The men were condescending about it and the women were worse. Yes, the women were…

I think where people get grumpy about this is where they think they are dividing a very small pie. I'm speaking from personal experience and I realize that not all women have the same experience, but anyway, I've had 3 kids. For the first two, I had no paid leave and for the third, I got 6 weeks paid.

Sorry you had to go through all that, but not surprised. I have similar stories to tell, but I'm guessing I'm older than you (49) and I'm sorry to hear it hasn't gotten better.

My husband works with a woman who called him "darling" one day. He said she stopped and apologized, and when he was telling me all this, he was apologizing for her, guessing it was because she was from the South or something. I replied that the only time a man at work called me "darling" was when they were trying to…

I agree that women are more likely to want to stay home. After experiencing lower pay for more work, along with both overt and tacit sexism, who wouldn't want to take some time off?

You mean the lesson about how any whore can rise above it with just a little help from Richard Gere?

Right. We bought a shitty $500 bracelet as a consolation prize after trying on a $10,000 necklace.

I covered with a light blanket. It was no big deal to me or the baby, and I felt more comfortable in public that way.

The kid seems mentally challenged. I don't think he has a clue what he's talking about.

I kind of agree. I don't think his bipolar disorder is all that mild and he probably needs a med adjustment.

She's a brickhouse. She's strong and beautiful and could snap their rednecks with a look.

Two is way harder than one. And my third? Good thing he has a rich inner life.

I agree, vacation can be a real slog with the kids. I often come back saying I need a vacation from the vacation.

I like it okay. She should have decided, though. Smile or no smile. Not that halfway weird thing she's doing.

It won't matter if she's a lesbian or not. If behavior like this is allowed to stand, everyone's daughter is in danger.

The two practices aren't nearly comparable.
