For the love, splitting infinitives isn't bad grammar. It may be a preference but it isn't a rule. Read the links above.

Oh, look, you learned something new! How precious!

No, the infinitives don't really care. It's people who are hung up on an old myth who really hate it.

Indeed. I miss it.

I keep forgetting that I'm supposed to vote for people I disagree with.

No and no. Name your kids names you love. If Henry ever says, "Did you name me after your dog?" you say, "I named you a name that I loved, that I associated with beings I loved." As for Emmylou, people name their kids after themselves all the time.

Seems to me that each woman determines her purpose individually. If that's what Beyonce felt was her purpose, who am I to tell her no? And if another woman determines her purpose is to raise sled dogs, who am I to tell her no?

Yeah, that would make sense. Ours was in-house, so they could be as ridiculous as they wanted.

I grew up in suburban Philadelphia and the rule at my high school was only opposite-sex couples could go to the prom. They wouldn't sell singles and you couldn't go with another girl friend if you didn't have a date.

Anyone else as tired of Rihanna as I am?

You're not the only one. It's scar tissue! You can see how it was sort of knotted. But being pregnant does weird stuff to your belly button and I'm willing to bet they just tried to normalize it as best they could.

You're fine. I started at 33 my 2 SILs started at 33 and 36. Just try to get that first one in before 35.

Oh, sadly, I do believe that about the law. I was just answering from the standpoint of what the medical community—you know, those people with the training to help patients make decisions because they actually know what's happening, unlike the legislature?—would do.

I was thinking though—if a woman gets tested at 17 weeks, say, it doesn't leave her much time to make a terribly difficult decision, if she needs to. These bastards are so heartless. Women aren't aborting at that point because a kid would be an inconvenience, you know?

A slight quibble with your first point. I've had 2 children and both times was offered the screening that indicates sex and some of the chromosomal abnormalities between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, so it does fit in the time frame of the law. If a woman waited until 19 weeks for the screening and then needed an…

When you become pregnant, they start counting from the date of your last menstrual period, which occurs 2 weeks (typically) before ovulation and thus possible conception. So when you ovulate, if a sperm fertilizes the egg and implants in the uterus a few days later, you're 2 weeks pregnant. Then, when you miss your…

They'd go by your last menstrual period until an ultrasound showed more accurately the gestational age of the embryo.

I know! I get so irritated when I read those comments because any woman who's carried a fetus close to full-term was plenty miserable during the end and doesn't need a constant reminder of the fact that there's a human inside of her.

And in that interview, couldn't you tell that he was way more into her than she into him, or at least wanted it to look that way? When they were talking about not using birth control beyond pulling out and Howard asked, "What if you get pregnant?" Adam Levine said, "Oh, I'd love to have kids and I love her so much…

I had the same experience. When I said, "Diet and exercise," the crestfallen look would fall over people's faces. One woman, after looking disappointed, said, "There really is no easy way, is there?" Nope.
