This is far from the first time I've heard this re Butler. Not to mention his comments about women ("I don't like them to be smart," or whatever the exact quote was) and the fact that he actually hands out prepaid credit cards as a way of picking up women makes him even grosser to me than I already thought he was.

Thanks for that! I have ben concerned; my two girls are soooo close, and there's barely three years between them, so I was a little worried about how having a baby at this point might change that (I'm especially worried about my "baby" (6) not being "the baby" anymore.) But I've heard that if there's more than five…

No, you can't claim that all overweight people are automatically unhealthy; it is quite possible to be both overweight or even obese but very healthy, and I didn't say that being overweight was specifically unhealthy. But I'm not talking about being merely overweight; morbid obesity is, as others have pointed out, a…

No, heh, actually that one is "toe." You're not dragging it along, you're making sure you're perfectly lined up to it. :-)

Cool, thanks for the mea culpa/clarification.

You know, I have two daughters. Both of those two daughters would pretty willingly eat nothing but cookies and french fries all day, every day, until they had diabetes and the blood pressure, arteries, and BMI of a morbidly obese fifty-year-old if I didn't stop them.

YES.

Good for you!! And yes, it is disgusting, and those mothers who ignored you should be ashamed, frankly.

I am totally going to make that for my older daughter. She loves cornflakes and peaches. And ice cream.

Yep, I had the same thought. Don't see this as very far off a Belgian waffle covered with whipped cream, so...I'd give it to my kids as a fun breakfast treat once in a while, totally.

Ha, I thought of that, too! And "We wanted eggs, and bacon, and healthy things but Dad made us eat this!"

Isn't that just...gross, and weird? It honestly never occurred to me when it happened that people would ask at all, much less come right out with "Was he black?" And they always ask first, right up front (after ascertaining we were okay, to be fair, but then I'm telling the story so obviously I survived).

OMG. They not only used that word, but used it in front of you? I wouldn't talk to them anymore either; well, I don't talk to people who use that word, and I'm white. I'm so insulted on your behalf; of course I can't imagine how that must have felt for you, but...geez. I don't know if I'm more upset that it was said,…

Billie Joe was a decent guy, when I knew him. Pretty cool/fun to hang around with. Of course, that was when Green Day was still reprinting their "No thanks" letters to record companies on the sleeves of their Lookout! albums, so...

I would give my kids this once in a while as a breakfast treat. Not often, of course, but I don't see where it's so much worse than the occasional Belgian waffle covered with strawberry sauce and whipped cream or chocolate chip pancakes or whatever, you know?

Yeah, I'm glad to know that, because I had the same thought re Amy/Rory and children.

I hated this episode so much I'm in the middle of a big blog rant about lazy writing and stupid characters. (Amy and Rory don't even try to open or look out a window? Really? It can all be "wished away/you can make it right by thinking it right," really? Again?)

Yeah, I've heard that, too. I'm honestly not that worried about actually getting pregnant; it's staying that way and having a healthy baby that concerns me the most, you know? Because of how the odds for certain birth defects etc. go up. That's the scary part for me. But thanks!

Thanks! I hope so, but of course we have to make the decision first, sigh.

Ha, awesome! That bit makes me laugh harder than just about anything else in that movie. :-)
