Also: My little sis is a musician who has a fantastic song about Bowie, and usually plays it live as an introduction to her cover of Moonage Daydream. She had a gig on Saturday night at which some guy approached her to rave about the intro chords to her tune (lifted directly from Ziggy Stardust). My sister and I live…

When I first got ill when I was 12 or 13, I got very very agoraphobic, I didn’t leave the house for a year, being in the front yard gave me terrible anxiety attacks. After that year my big sister got me to take a xanax and go for short rides with her. Just around the block, then to my grams 5 minutes away, then 10…

For me, it was his appearance on SNL with Klaus Nomi. Blew my little nine-year-old mind, both sets he played. I knew that this was a rock God, unafraid of doing what others might say was silly to make the impression he wanted to make.

Your parents ARE great!

When I was, oh 8 or so, I was so into Labryinthe that I asked for David Bowie for Christmas. My mom was like, oh, ok, a poster of the Goblin King? and I adamantly replied that no, I didn’t want some dumb poster, I WANTED HIM TO BE MINE.

After watching Lazarus I made the mistake of listening to Space Oddity and then lay in bed in the dark softly weeping (the news came in the evening in Australia). Mess. I was surprised by how much this hurt. He didn’t seem mortal.

I love Bowie, I grew up on KROQ and I took for granted that everyone thought he was great. I read the book Gia about a decade later and didn't realize how much he meant to kids growing up different in the 70s. He was an original in every sense of the word. We have truly lost someone special.

On a daily basis, Pictorial has at least one mood lifting article.

As a lapsed Catholic who this week acquiesced to the perceived pressure by my family to have my wedding in a Catholic church, and as someone who visited Avila when I was Catholic, this article could not have come at a better time for me. While I struggle to justify marrying in the partriachal system that is the…

Totally not surprising for 700 WLW. I live in Cincinnati, and that station is basically most well known for two things: (1) having a talk radio host (Bill Cunningham) who makes Rush Limbaugh look liberal and (2) being an absolute fear-mongering garbage station. They frequently try to spin even the safest neighborhoods…

Had my support right up until the boob job comment. Now I’m all :/

Rebuttal: You spineless, money grubbing, enabling immoral cowards who treat pedophilia as if it’s the equivalent of swiping a bag.of Doritos from a convenience store. Duggar can go “heal” in jail.

lets all be honest here:

I wasn’t commenting on the issue of the age of the eggs, merely pointing out that Down Syndrome is a genetic anomaly and has nothing to do with the state of this woman’s uterus. The woman was not carrying her own embryo, so her age would have nothing to do with the child having Down Syndrome.

Those are chromosomal abnormalities, so a gestational mother implanted with someone else’s embryos doesn’t have any influence on them.

Most problems occur because of faulty dividing of the egg cell. An older surrogate would have no effect on the genes in that manner, and as long as she has a hospitable uterus and maintains good health, there really aren’t any additional risks as far as I know.

No small feat and probably put her at increased risk for estrogen-caused cancers. That’s quite a sacrifice. She sounds like an amazing person, I wish her continued good health.

this is awesome

A little weird, maybe, but also nice. Going through that much hormone therapy to carry a baby to term in a post menopausal body is no small feat. That’s a lot for a mother to go through to give her daughter what she really wants. Good for them, I'm glad it worked out.

“Hey, Jeb...why’d you...say that? You don’t have to choose, buddy!”
