Living in Japan was definitely a revelation for me with baths. In the US, bathtubs are like coffins that are just a liiiittle too short. In Japan, they’re shorter but much deeper, so you can sit in them and put your knees up and the only thing that sticks out of the water is your head. It’s GLORIOUS.

YES IT’S SO GOOD! She’s a remarkable writer.

Yeah, he was a very large man, bless him. It would actually be very interesting to see a list of the various updates/remodeling that happened during each presidency.

That’s what I was going to suggest. Hire a sitter to stay in the hotel (or wherever) with the kids.

My mom’s friend found out she was pregnant again at her 6-week postnatal (or is it postpartum? whatever) check-up.

Ask not for whom the wedding bell tolls!

Howard Taft really got the short end of the stick history-wise. He was an incredibly intelligent, diligent, and ethical man who only really ever wanted to be a judge (but his wife and Teddy Roosevelt wanted bigger things for him, hence running for president).

I’m 5'7" and my husband’s 6'1". We visited the Netherlands a few years ago. My distant relatives made fun of us for being so short. :| (My cousin’s wife was taller than my husband!)

I’m 34 and just got through the worst break-out in my life. (Just got an IUD... UGH I HOPE THIS ISN’T WHAT THE NEXT FEW YEARS ARE LIKE!!!)

Don’t forget that interviews go both ways! You are interviewing them to find out if they’re a good fit for you, not just the other way around. Good luck!

My husband got shingles a few years ago as well—he was on immunosuppressants for his colitis when BOOM. He got them on his face, too. We wound up going to the emergency room because he was in such terrible pain. We couldn’t believe the diagnosis, either. Shingles? At his early 30s? Yep. It was awful and he was totally…

Woah! Nice!

Another ‘83 baby here. I’m pretty sure we’re millennials.

I was similarly bad at plants until I designated a day to water all of them. Now, Sunday is “plant watering day” and everything is alive and well. :) Make it a habit and things will go much better!

I DIDN’T KNOW KENSINGTON PALACE CONFIRMED BABY #3. I know it’s inconsequential but Wills and Kate’s love makes me happy.

In other words, a modern AU fanfic for P&P.

Emily’s perfection annoyed me. I was pissed that he chose her because it felt like he HAD to because she was perfect, not because he wanted to. Oh well.

LOL! I feel like that’s what they were trying to do the first several seasons but I didn’t start watching until Andy Baldwin’s season. (My GOD that man was a hunk. Wowowow!) Attractive, rich, successful, with a good personality? Yeah... those are not the men that go on the Bachelor.
