Yeah, I thought USPS was not too keen on shipping biohazardous material...

Go. It's good to get a baseline when everything is presumably normal. Also helps to build a rapport with the dr and staff.

Damn, I may have to go get the ingredients for this now. My tuna-hating husband is out of town for the week so I should take this time to remind my child how tasty a tuna melt really is.

Met my husband on match.com. Yeah, you’re going to get quite a few older guys and it’s frustrating when you have an age range and they don’t pay attention to that.

I’m sorry you’ve been on this emotional roller coaster lately.

Good for you for not bad-mouthing your MIL in front of your wife, even though she does it herself. I fully admit that I’ve not been very good about that regarding my MIL.

My mom re-married when I was in jr high. My stepdad was an okay-enough guy but when he and mom had my brother pretty quickly I felt a bit like an outsider (but I was there first, damnit!).

Tell him it took 9 months to put on the weight and it will probably take at least that long to drop it. If you are breastfeeding, dropping too much weight too quickly can make your supply tank

I've been known to do that...but the buttered side goes down on the pan to make myself a tuna melt.

Heh, certainly another interpretation of pack animal!

I have an uncommon and therefore often misspelled and mispronounced first name. I have tried to spare people’s feelings and not corrected them but it festers into a bigger issue like a completely wrong name on a flight reservation.

I took my husband’s name because I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life correcting people. And I feel like we are a cohesive family unit along with our kid. So yeah, I fully admit that I played into the patriarchy.

Yeah, Catholics are super-judgemental but don’t tend to evangelize (unless you’re family). They’re usually just quietly smug. My Granny always said “God helps those who help themselves,” so I agree that a Catholic would have been useful first and prayed second.

I rarely read the articles linked but felt compelled to read Carrie Underwood’s motherhood woes. She said she feels like she’s carrying 20 bags everytime they leave the house.

That sounds like torture! Get an eye dr to prescribe some numbing drops!

My husband forbade me to get on FB before to avoid spoilers so I could catch up on a show that had had its season finale. It took me an entire weekend to get through that season so had a FB break from Thursday night to late Sunday. It was probably the best weekend I’d had in a long time when we only stayed home. I get…

Your username is incredibly apt in this situation.

I click through from Twitter links so I don’t have to see the ads but I'm grey so I'm probably doing it wrong.

I don’t believe I’ve ever had pierogi which is sad since it looks very tasty and I grew up in what used to be an area with a high concentration of Poles.

S’pose I should be following people as well. Just seemed so stalker-ish but I guess that’s the system here.
