@fluxus flucker: If it makes you feel any better, I get the same thing, but the other way around. "Are you going to try for a boy?" "How can your husband stand not having a boy?" "Boys are SO MUCH EASIER than girls!" It's appalling.

@sgtyukon: How much room could the Holy Ghost possible need?

@scullymurphy: It's been super cold in LA. Temps have been dipping into the 30's at night.

You're getting sloppy, Jez. Lots of incorrect assumptions lately. The support these give you when you're pregnant is fantastic, and they don't compress the baby at all, which is a very good thing.

@gerbilsoutofexile...is cheap and easy: Agreed! Unless you have at least 4 kids, you really do not need a minivan.

@love you dead: In the US, there actually are not that many kids up for adoption. There are many kids in the foster system, but those kids typically still have a parent in the picture (in prison, in treatment, unreachable, etc.). It's wonderful to take these kids in, but they legally often cannot become part of your…

@introverted_innovator: You clearly don't know much about the IVF or donor processes.

@JessicaLovejoy: Laughing, riding, cornholing!: I just met a Czarina!

God, people in Brooklyn are such assholes.

@littleada: You're kidding, right?

@littleada: Not when you see all the obese 9-year-olds running around lately.

This is what happens when you go to an osteopath instead of a real doctor.

Here's a big one: stop blaming your parents for stuff. If you're over 30 and you're still blaming your parents for things going wrong in your life, it's not their fault anymore, it's yours.

@Chocolynne: Oh, you and your logic and sense!

We went with SO (for significant other).

And THIS is why I love my home state!
