OtisEagle, I could not have said it any better. bokjoy, thank you for being so open to discussion on this.

Super happy and relieved. I was so glad there was no more planning to be done and no more anxiety. Our families had kind of hijacked the wedding and it was about three times the size it would have been if anyone had asked either my husband or me what we'd wanted. We wound up with this huge formal beautiful wedding,…

Wow. If his bedtime were somewhere between 6:30-8:00pm, I can't imagine how that would go over in a dorm. Some commenters are also saying that in these dorms there isn't actually a common area - it's three double rooms connected with a small hallway - so if that's true then I don't know where the roommate would even…

Haha, thanks!! I find it kinda funny. Truth be told, when it comes to surgeries or medical procedures I have kind of a weak stomach for certain things, too, so I don't blame him too much. I want to know the basics of what they need to do to me, what the risks are, etc., but that's about where it ends, so I don't…

100% with you. Unforgivable.

I also seem to remember hearing that he's something like 6'7" tall. Whenever I've seen him in appearances, he always seems to tower over everybody... now imagine that height next to a 9-year-old!

Ha! Kids are still a while away for my husband and me, but I am someone who has to send my husband out of the room when he accompanies me to the doctor's office when I have to get nerve blocks (shots) for my migraines (my doctor looked confused until I explained to the doctor that I didn't want him to be distracted…

Same issue with Comcast in Boston, and at a couple of other points in the broadcast as well!

You raise such a good point - so many people focus on telling kids what NOT to do, without focusing on making sure they know what the desired behavior actually is (and are reinforced/encouraged/praised for doing it). I was having this conversation with one mom of a kid I work with because she was focusing so much on…

Or - Hugh Jackman for Best Actor, Steven Spielberg for Best Director (so they can make themselves feel better about not giving Best Actor to Daniel Day-Lewis)

Ugh, I keep feeling like I'm the only one who is getting sick of having Anne Hathaway called "inevitable" by everyone talking about nominations. I'd love someone else to win - the way the campaigning for her award has been handled has felt a little too self-righteous and, while her performance was good, I didn't…

There are some other options beyond paying $300/week for therapy, though. They may not all suit everyone, but they do exist. And if people need help, they're definitely worth thinking about.

Yes - THIS. I'm training as a therapist and most of the adolescents I work with are brought in by their parents and they come in saying, "I don't need therapy because I'm not crazy." We usually spend a good chunk of time at the beginning discussing what they think therapy is. Most of them seem to think therapy is…
