I have a Beatrix. I'm pregnant with a boy and I love Atticus, but the husband and I are both lawyers, so it may be too much. We are still looking for a boy's name we love (we had Stella picked for a girl and it is on there too).

I kind of want to google "Blue Waffles" now, but I know better. I'm not sure what is going to happen.

As long as they are actually continuing to work on the others, that approach makes sense to me. I also realize that the entire equation comes down to whether or not the market for increasing the coverage is large enough to recoup the research and production costs, but I suspect it is. Of course, I wouldn't be…

Oh, gross. Purple cauliflower! How does that work?

This is so close to what happened to me, minus the daughter. Mr. Happy (first husband) was abusive when drunk and I didn't know that until after the wedding. I kept it up for a year and half because I didn't want anyone to tell me "I told you so," after getting married so young. I had rug burns, our house had holes…

HPV is magic. God's handiwork and all.

Do you know if there is any particular reasons they only made the vaccine to cover those two strains?

Mine too. Nurses, sardine factory workers, teachers (my grandma went to college long before it was the norm and got a masters in education and became a principal, go grandma!), secretaries, farmers, etc. Like most families, mine is not one with a long history of wealth, so everyone has always worked.

I wrote a paper for my History of Law class about women in the South. The vast majority of women, of all colors, have always worked and worked hard. They worked on farms doing backbreaking work. They worked as childcare and domestic workers, they worked in canneries, fisheries, waiting tables, you name it. It is so…

I tried to convince my husband for a year to let me stay home and just have us live off of his income (I'm glad it didn't work; he knew me well enough to know that I would be miserable). I now make more money than he does and he loves it. He doesn't understand why any man would want the burden of being a sole…

That is just a really crazy thing to say. It is a tough job market, but we don't correct that by telling all women who have partners who make enough money to support them to go home and make room for women who don't. I've got a million reasons why that doesn't make sense, but I assume they are all obvious.

This is me...in fact, I went through my child's entire first year of life miserable at work because I wanted to be a stay at home mom and couldn't afford it with my massive student loan debt. Looking back, I don't know what I was thinking. I love coming to my office on Monday morning because it is so quite after a…

I agree on number 3. I never like character replacements. They should pretend to not exist and they certainly shouldn't speak out on matters that clearly do not concern them.

Unrelated to sfaxing, but we hire teenagers in the summer to help with filing and one girl asked me if I knew who Eminem was. I feigned ignorance and she proceeded to play me some of his songs. I told her that he sounded a lot like Slim Shady. She had no idea who that was. I then told her that he sounded a lot like a…

Here's a link to an article about what was stricken and what wasn't.

Is there anyway that private people can raise money that would go directly to research like your lab? Or does it have to come through grants?

I'm really sorry. One of my closest friends just went through that at 18 weeks and it's been so hard. I'm nearly 20 weeks now and terrified that's going to happen (I have a history of repetitive miscarriages due to a genetic problem).

Worse...no cats, only cat hair. Don't worry though, I recently saw a book of crafts you can make using cat hair.

We like to use the old-fashioned and distinctly Southern Baptist sounding "helpmeet" at our house. It gives both of us the goosebumps (the bad kind) so we like to spring it on each other out of nowhere. It keeps the passion in our relationship alive.

That's awful. I'm pretty sure cheating was involved with both the people I mentioned too, but nothing as drastic. I think they were just more estranged, but my memory is a little fuzzy.
