To clarify they have to do SOME menial work. But mostly they work on returns, reconciliations, the whole nine yards; they just have an additional level of review.

Mr. Haa and I are getting ready to head over to a friend's house for the Packers game. I do admit to being a bit sad that I won't be able to partake in the alcohol related fun but I'll have my ginger ale and no hangover in the morning. Plus who doesn't love tailgate food? I hope everyone here has a lovely Saturday…

No it's pretty clear to me that she is being honest about real fear she has. Maybe because I've been there and felt that way. But way to make it all about you when you literally had nothing of substance to add to her discussion. I am so glad YOU ARE a "good friend" IRL but it's severely lacking here. Also I saw what…

Thank you. It's very early on so I know anything can happen but it's hard to not be optimistic when you've been trying so long and it finally does happen. I think it's great you have a fantastic doctor, who is taking your concerns seriously and doing what she can to help you get this going. I think that's half the…

I am so proud of Wisconsin for electing Tammy Baldwin! It's nice to be proud of my state for once.

Ugh! My husband's family is definitely more conservative (but they're poor and not dumb enough to think Rmoney was the answer). I actually had to scream at my aunt-in-law because she continued to use the "n-word" to describe her asshole boss in my car. I wanted to stop, kick her out and make her walk home. Mr. Haa…

I'm so, so sorry to hear this happened. You are definitely not alone in your experience. Sending lots of love and good vibes your way!

Woah. I don't think she is paintbrushing anybody without kids as being losers who will die alone. What I see is a woman who wants kids and it's not happening. If you don't understand because you've never wanted them that's fine but this comes across as incredibly insensitive to something you could easily ignore.…

I just have to say I know exactly how you feel. When my husband and I started trying and it didn't happen right away I freaked out. I couldn't feel happy for anybody or anything (even if the good news wasn't baby related). It can take over your whole life. Seeing the doctor will do a lot to reassure you. In fact, I…

I look forward to rocking a bikini 9 months pregnant but I also think this style is really cute (and may need to switch to it for everyone's sake post-baby). Do you think it would be flattering on non-curvy figures? I'm pretty straight up and down and would love something that gave me some curves.

Wow! What a beautiful story to remind me that yes, there still are good people in the world.

True story. I got married a little over 3 years ago. My parents divorced when I was young, my dad remarried a couple times, my mom has always been single. Now that my brother and I were out of the house she started to get lonely. She especially didn't want to go to my wedding alone. She started online dating, brought…

My mother never wore tons but as she's aged her cabinets have filled up more and more. I would prefer her doing this to botox or plastic surgery so I'm not complaining. I've never worn makeup (except special occasions) even though I have mild adult acne. I also work in a professional setting and have never felt…

Christ! That sounds terrible. I would seriously be bitching to HR if someone said that to me. I have mild acne and I definitely do not feel pressured to wear makeup to work. I beat out someone for a promotion (a man!) with gasp! "bad skin". Honestly, I don't wear makeup much because I don't want to become one of those…

I just posted all of my resolutions in the resolution thread and I think they are all on this list. I acknowledge that every year I make a resolution but normally I only end up following it for a few months. No, that's not true. There is one I continue to do. I started taking a daily women's vitamin on January 1,…

Cheers! That is so great to hear!

The accountant (and total cheap ass) in me would be kinda pissed if my kid was born Jan 1. You would have to wait a whole year to use the kid as a tax deduction on your return.

A little late to the party but I was away from Jez for most of yesterday.

I feel like the only Jezzie who hasn't jumped on the DTA bandwagon.
