but I'm more confident and effective when I feel like I look good.... I choose my choice (natch)!

I think Anna is absolutely correct about just laughing at this crap as it pertains to women. What bothers me just a little bit more is the commentary it makes on men. We all know that there's a societal norm based upon spinster women trying to hook an eligible bachelor. That's old news. What's bothersome to me is…

Ain't it da truth? :)

yeah that doesn't sound like a friendship worth having. Time to move on. I'm really sorry. It sucks. A lot.

AMEN. Plus, it's not like the new mommy friend is going to be supporting your ass much while her baby is still young. She'll beg out of any number of social engagements, parties, celebrations and phone calls by blaming the baby, but if you fail to do your friendly duty to her by - as some people have ridiculously…

keep in mind that some of your friends may be really jealous of what you have: a partner and a family (I'm assuming a partner, you didn't say specifically). I know for me it's really hard to even spend time at my married/babied friends' places because - although they are doing nothing at all to make this happen - I…

Long ago (even up to the 1950s, 50s and sometimes even today); women are nothing more than chattel; fixtures to be traded according to their ability to make-a-home and then used for things like sex, cooking, decoration and child-rearing without any need to engage in partnership. Downside for bros: women eat. Yep. …

I have a problem with the idea that if I don't bring new mom friends dinner and rub their feet and watch their babies then I'm not a "true friend" or a "good friend." A girlfriend of mine had a baby recently. I visited a lot at first, then tapered off as she seemed to become more and more occupied with him as he…

here's the thing though: your friendships end up being ENTIRELY on your terms if this is how you handle them. Your friends get called when it's convenient for YOU, only get time with you when it fits into YOUR schedule and probably stopped even asking if you want to do something or talk because YOU didn't…

I have to say I'm really disturbed at the nearly down-the-middle divide between the mommies and the non-mommies on this one. Why are all the mother-commenters suggesting that the singletons do things for the mommies (babysit, bring coffee and croissants, sit in the living room while mommy showers???) so that they…

anyone else noticing a pattern whereby the mother-commenters are all suggesting that the singletons do things for the mommies (babysit, bring coffee and croissants, sit in the living room while mommy showers???) so that they can become the mommy's true BFF while the singletons are mostly saying how annoying it is to…

ooo! Feel free to experiment with throwing other things in the dough, too. I sometimes put some cornmeal in it (a very Chicagoan thing to do), olive oil, herbs, cracked pepper, more salt than called for, a little parmesan.... anything that would taste good with a pizza should work well. Just keep in mind that if…

there ya go. Good attitude. I actually think it's really fun to do. To speed up rising, you can also put the bowl (not plastic!) with the dough in the oven set on "warm", or about 175 degrees. That dough will be triple the size in about an hour. Good luck!

NO!!!! No equipment required!!!! Here's a great recipe:

oh goodness you should make your own. Sooooo much better than ANY packaged dough and takes about 5 minutes to put together, 2 hours to rise, but then you can freeze it in sections and then bring it up to room temperature to use at your leisure at a later date. Costs about 25 cents to make 2 large/4 small pizzas…

soooo... (again, recall Virginia '12 shitstorm...) what's the medical rationale for requiring the procedure this time? Particularly since "proving the most visibly clear image....." and all that crap cannot be construed in too many other ways than "we want to you to see your baby, look it in its squishy little fetal…

HIPPA restrictions and the like aside, I would like to see the personal medical records of every person who is requesting "religious protection" from this provision of Obamacare and the prescriptions of every sex partner the principals have had throughout their lives. If they've used birth control at all - EVER -…

gah, this isn't even a well-worded comment. Are you referring to women who participate in consensual BDSM relationships and, thus, must know (and enforce) their own limits of pain tolerance or......? Try again, troll.
