Oh man, I know exactly how you feel. My teeth are incredibly shitty and I’ve spent years in treatment to correct previous work and do some new stuff. I’m now the proud owner of crowns, implants and a bridge (we tried an implant twice and after two weeks the screw thingy would come out of my bone. You can imagine the…

This is Arthur. He’s new in my life and very warm. I think this photo will be sideways... but I am sending so much love.

Two months?! I retract everything I said (Except the me-time part. You should do that anyway.). Your husband should respect your well-being and include you in activities.

Where would people get their cars washed?

Why, when turning yourself in, would you wear a cartoon prison outfit?

I gave birth last Saturday, when I was only 25 weeks along, because my high blood pressure turned into preeclampsia and then HELLP syndrome in a matter of days. Original plan was to keep me at the hospital for as many weeks as possible before delivery, but my labs turned bad and then worse and doctors think I would…

I’ll tackle that second question. To preface this, I am transgender and medically transitioning.

I look more pregnant 3 months post-partum than she does at 20 weeks along. Let me go eat another brownie in despair and further compound this problem...

A guy asked me out in the grocery store this morning. Like, at 8AM. He just walked up to me and started chatting me up, staring at my boobs the whole time. I politely told him that I wasn’t interested, but it was really the most action I’ve had in seven or eight months.

My dream is that this whole situation drives Kendall deep into an existential crisis, where she isolates herself from her Kardashian Klan for six months, churning the loamy soil of her soul for purpose and meaning. She starts reading up on the histories of marginalized peoples and their fight for civil rights in this…

Eh, the reality is this whole clusterfuck will soon be forgotten and Kendall can go back to Kendalling and then the nuclear war will wipe out everything.

“The world sees her as this glamorous, sophisticated, jet-setting woman,

Sometimes when I see ridiculous commercials, I try to imagine what that pitch meeting must have been like, and I feel like the phrase “protest is the new brunch” was uttered in this one.

The way you guys talk about the NY Times reviews and how people perceived this show at the beginning makes me think about Jennifer Weiner and how she (rightly, IMO) argues women’s fiction is automatically slapped with a “Chick Lit” label if it involves any kind of issues considered “domestic.”

Bless your heart.

lol it’s the finale open thread. If you can’t watch it, don’t be in the open thread!

I just finished the last one yesterday! I loooved these books! Yes, the covers are awful. The books themselves are excellent. I don’t think I’ll watch this though; I liked the books too much. I don’t want the mental picture I had to be overwritten by a tv show.

You are quite young “fertility-wise.” After getting pregnant quite easily at 38 and then again at 42 I did some research for my little sister who was about to take drastic measures (wrong guy). The historical data that shows a decrease in fertility is based on the birth-rate of particular populations that avoid…

Indeed. I had a baby at 19, another at 31, and the last at 41, and there are no words to describe how different those three experiences were. I was stunned by how much harder it was at 31.
