I think Emma and Sophia (and Grace and Jack and Aiden, though to be honest not really Cayden) are nice names, too. When they first started getting used, I thought they were lovely and refreshing. But I have kids in elementary and middle school, plus I am around ones even younger fairly regularly, and I see the same…

Electric Youth was the BEST. Man I loved that perfume. I can still smell it and Exclamation! when I think about my early teen years.

Aww but you guys, I’m sure she was super into RealTree and hunting growing up in SoCal. She totally isn’t trying to adopt her guy’s personality and hobbies. We just don’t get her like Blake does.

Too old too be an aspirational millennial, and done naming my kids (none of which are literary or on this list). I'm just tired of every other child being named Emma, Sophia, Jack, or Aiden/Cayden/Jaden/Haden/Braden. No there isn't anything inherently wrong with any of them, they are simply overused. My own name…

My 13yo is Kale, actually. Short for a longer name, but mostly we call him Kale. I’d never heard of the vegetable Kale when he was named, as it’s popularity wasn’t destined to boom for almost a decade. He’s never gotten shit for it (except from his dad and I who tease him about being on the menu) and no one has ever…

Charlotte, Amelia, Ava, Olivia, Cora, Eleanor, Isla, Lucy, Evelyn, and Penelope. For boys, they are still dumb: Ezra, Asher, Atticus, Declan, Oliver, Silas, Milo, Jude, Henry, Jasper.

That doesn’t really matter, since what the question is really getting at is do you want to bomb a random place you know nothing about merely because it sounds “Muslim”.

I love football. Tom Brady is very good at football. However, yes, Tom Brady is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper dumb. He is an idiot and his wife is an asshole. I can’t stand them, and I wish his people would tell him to just shut up. Between his stupid cheating issues, his “personal trainer guru” snake oil salesman that he…

pssstt....it’s called acting.

She looks nothing like Kennedy Onassis, but I do think she can capture the essence of her style and poise. Normally I want nothing to do with these kinds of movies, but with Aranofsky producing I hope it will be better than a Lifetime movie effort.

I’ve had two miscarriages. One at 6 weeks, one at between 9 and 10. There was nothing to bury. It was essentially the heaviest, most painful periods you can imagine. I’m not cremating or burying what amounts to a large blood clot. Fuck these people. Fuck em right in the eye.

The trailer made me cry, and every review I read makes me tear up again. I’m so, so happy that the reviews have been overwhelmingly good. I wasn’t really worried that Abrams would screw it up, but I’ve loved Star Wars for as long as I can remember being alive. I needed this to be what the prequels were not. I cannot…

It varies by state, but 20 weeks is the common standard cut-off. Past that point the risk to the woman increases as well as the difficulty. You essentially have to give birth to it beyond that.

I didn't say she was. I clearly stated in my first post that she was past 24 weeks, and therefore past the safe period for elective abortions. My second post was merely a response to your nonsense.

I can support the right to have an abortion and still think it’s not ok to have an elective one when you are 7, 8, 9 months pregnant. There is a point in which the fetus is capable of living outside the mother. That’s a pretty standard line in the sand for abortion unless the health of mother is threatened or there is…

Is there evidence she tried to obtain an abortion early on and couldn’t? I fully support abortion rights, but unless her life was in danger or the fetus wasn’t viable, I don’t think aborting more than halfway through the pregnancy is ok or safe. At the point of viability, which it appears she was at if she was past 24…

That’s when you have things like butternut squash soup!

Obviously any kind of restrictive or monitored eating can indicate a possible issue. Most people I know that say they eat “clean” just mean low to no processed foods and a lot of vegetables, though. One of my closest friends does a lot of clean eating tutorial type things for a blog and it’s all how to incorporate…
