Good for you.

I always thought they were unnecessary if you are paying attention to how you pull the string and the string tension isn't too heavy for you to pull. If it is too heavy, there is a tendency to pull out and back. If you pull straight along your arm, the string is on the outside of your boobs and not in between.

I had waist length hair that I cut to a shaggy pixie in March. So, I say go for it.

No, he's told me before. "I knew people were getting uncomfortable. I knew it was because of me. I really didn't care. I wanted to talk about what I wanted to talk about." Sometimes it is a conscious choice.

Now I can work with a therapist to learn the social cues and communication skills that other people take for granted.

I agree with SeaAnemone.

It is very hard to determine the high functioning spectrum kids early. My experience, with a really old school pediatrician, was that he didn't know much about it. I would trust an autism clinic to know what they are talking about and I would totally point that out to the nanny and school. THE EXPERTS IN THAT FIELD…

It depends.

My bestie told me today that she had finally realized that she could accept that her mom was a kind of shitty, damaged person without trying to fix her. It wasn't her job to try to make her mom a better person and trying to was stopping her from dealing with the things involving her mom that she should get past.

The thing is, being a GS Troop in incredibly individual. There is nothing that says you have to teach reproductive health, but it's there as a resource. If you want to be a super-conservative troop, you can do that.

Gluten free, corn-dog muffins and some Pop Corner chips. I may make a smoothy in a little bit.

Then she really should back off. My mom sometimes takes things like that personally, but usually not if we already have plans soon. Does she have a history of doing stuff like that?

While it is run by Mormons, there are a lot of active genealogists with no Mormon ties that upload their research. If you luck out and are on a researched line, there is no work to be done for you to know your family lines.

My Grandfather's sister and her son did them a few years ago. They were always told their grandmother was part Native American and they wanted to confirm whether they should dig into the genealogy. They found out there is no Native American DNA, but enough African American DNA for my Great-Great Grandmother to be…

You are being totally reasonable. You have planned your weekend to do things and get ready for next week, and you don't have time.

I use the LoseIt! app. It has a large data base of food and can scan bar-codes to find the food you eat. It also tracks exercise and weight. I mostly use it for awareness. If I know how much I've eaten, I don't overeat. I'm sure its a lot like the ones mentioned.

Mom high-five!

When we couldn't pay my loans, we let them go into default before I called and told them what was going on. The company that got it while in default adjusted my payment down to where we could make a monthly payment. The payment stayed low after we had rehabbed the account. Now that we are in a better position, we…
