I’ve purchased the e-book but have not started reading it yet. From other SNSs, I think I get the basic premise of the book. We want to move this year so I hope it will get me to organize and more effectively de-clutter.

My ex and I had discussed Evangeline for a girl. He called me outside of our “normal” calling times to tell me he ran across the name in a graphic novel. It’s a pretty name, but given that he’s an Ex, would not be up for consideration should I find myself in a position to name a girl.

I’ve been ruined and this is what I think of when I hear/read “Danger.”

You are NOT failing her. You are keeping on top of what help she does have and doing your damnedest to get her more. I cannot imagine how difficult it is to be met with resistance at every turn. You are an amazing mother and her strongest advocate.

My toddler’s understanding of death is nonexistent. He’d probably want to put a band-aid on a bullet wound to “make it feel better.” I’m assuming this isn’t far from average for that age group.

I'm bummed about this purely for the fact that Meredith Corp is based in my city and they seem to be shutting down publications left and right. I get that print is dying but it's still a bit depressing.

Of course HLs are usually staffed by women so perhaps this isn't the best iteration of a PP shirt.

I have a boy and do not intend on having any more babies so no comparison, either. I’m terrified of my son playing American football. I don’t like the sport to begin with but as more and more stories crop up about brain injuries in football players, I am even more terrified.

Is it approved for boys now? I just figured by time my kid was old enough for it that it'd be approved by then.

Aw, that poor social media intern! Trying to impress that cute English major and failed spectacularly.

The one time I actually wore lingerie, I felt completely ridiculous. I was already wearing it and waiting in bed for my husband to come join me. He wasn’t opposed to it but I doubt it added anything to the experience.

It’s not visible! I know I’m not the OP you asked but had to share. I do, however, enjoy pointing out to close friends and relatives so that they can get all squicked out after touching it. It did look like someone beat the shit out of my arm for a few days after insertion.

I have Nexplanon and was about to post my own woes! I’m 2 years in and just started spotting on Wednesday. I was at the tail end of breastfeeding when I had it put in so pretty sure that shored up my menstruation for that time.

I don’t have the experience with the real estate side of your quandary (kinda going through that ourselves) but going back to school and quitting your job is something I’ve done :)

Eat the baked brownies, not the raw batter!

That’s a big blow, to be sure. I think you have every right to be upset about it. Hindsight is 20/20, as they say. It all makes sense when you look back and realize there were other layoffs happening.

I found some Jezzies on Twitter who use the same handles here and there. I do not use the same handle on both so I’m sure there were a few of them who were like “who the hell is following me?” But even if I did change my Twitter to match my handle here, they’d still probably wonder who the hell was following them. :-/

While it's taking an extreme amount of personal restraint, I'm refusing to order GS cookies from a co-worker for this reason. Well, that's one of the reasons....

That’s so young to be going through that!
