Right? And our govt won’t allow the import of any UK Cadbury (which was sold at UK stores that were very similar to the US stores over there) or other chocolate from Europe because it competes so heavily with the crap here.

I believe the request to use the song goes to either her agent or her record company and is most likely from the lawyer for the film so these were attached to the formal request. I think they’re darling.

As if I Greta Gerwig wasn’t already near perfect - this just seals the deal. How charming and humble and sweet.

And you can find pretty much all things American somewhere - you pay a premium for them (UK cheerios have sugar on them and my daughter didn’t like them so I went to the American store and paid for overprice US version) but there are a few things I couldn’t find: Triscuits and Ranch dressing (not for me but for…

I just came here to say the same thing - when I lived there it was super easy to find them and there are American candy stores all over the place if you have a hankering for something not easily found in the UK. Anything with chocolate that is made there is way better than the US version (such as Kit Kats - just ask…

And what if young girls who have a larger build (not in an unhealthy way - just built with a larger frame like my niece and her mother) see her and think ‘wow, size doesn’t matter - I really can do and be anything I put my mind to’. That’s not glamorizing obesity - that’s recognizing that people come in all different…

I’ve been taking ‘selfies’ since the ‘70s (yes, I’m an old) - it never had a name - I just thought it was fun to get a couple of people in close and hold my arm out to take a photo - always fun and great photos. I can dig some up if you want proof. I just wasn’t famous so no one knew about it - but when the trend…

I didn’t adopt my daughter until I was 45 so I will be in my 60s when she’s in high school and I don’t have the money to pay someone else to handle the hard stuff. I’m also a single mom and my daughter has some learning and emotional issues so we’ve gone through some hard times. It’s not that unusual to start a…

Nope, I focused on the part that made a point that, among other reasons, because she isn’t pregnant she shouldn’t have a shower. It’s in there - whether it’s not part of what you consider the ‘important’ or ‘main’ part of your comment, it’s in there.

Don’t need to be pregnant to be expecting a baby - aside from surrogacy there’s adoption, remember? Not every mom becomes a mom the ‘normal’ way (that’s sarcastic in case you didn’t get it).

Doesn’t matter that she isn’t pregnant - not all moms carry their babies - I adopted my daughter and I still had a baby shower - should I not have because I wasn’t pregnant?

Present situation aside, if someone wants to throw themselves a baby shower because they don’t have friends and family who can or will then who cares? I planned my baby shower down to a T - location, food, guests, etc. - yes, my family and friends paid for it but I was very involved - I was 45 years old and adopting a…

Absolutely right! Adoptive mom who made sure her friends and family threw her a baby shower after all the engagement parties, weddings, baby showers, christenings, first birthdays that I went to happily and bought gifts for. I wasn’t pregnant either but was expecting my baby - had already met her and was just waiting…

I do something like that with strangers but with people like other school parents or work colleagues that won’t fly! I just say I don’t have a husband and leave it at that - usually that shuts them up because they don’t know if it means I’m not married, I’m divorced or I’m widowed and thank goodness they don’t dig for…

I love it!

Commenting on her looks is the first thing you thought of in response to this? How about what a badass she is. What the f*ck do her looks or her glasses have to do with anything?

The future is female!

Love that so many women (and men) feel brave and empowered enough to step forward and speak out about this awful behavior. I think this is just the beginning of the tide of men that will be taken down as a result.

This might be my fave!!!

Awesome - girl power!
