I DO THIS. I only eat yogurt with plastic spoons. I also only eat one flavor of yogurt. I have weird eating habits.

Aw thanks for the welcome! I'm super excited to move.

Yes. This. I was watching Fox News yesterday (I KNOW I KNOW I KNOW), and The Five spent an entire segment discussing how this poor woman was being persecuted for saying a bad word ONCE, some 30 years ago after she had been robbed (allegedly, or something like that). They don't seem to want to recognize that this is…

I second DC, first for my selfish reason of I'll be moving there in early August, and it would be most convenient for me :); and second, because this is national issue, since Ohio seems all to eager to keep trying, and VA and the probe and MI and the "personhood" and on and on and on. It's a national issue.

I have shivers just from watching. So awesome that you could be there!

Ugh. I can't even. It's bad enough they wanted this abomination of a bill to pass....but then they try to use every dirty trick in the politician playbook to get it to pass.

Ah you beat me to it!

Glad to see I'm not the only one tilting her head at this result. I guess it's similar to the Prop 8 case: most of the legal people I've talked to think it will be thrown out on the standing issue, which is rather anti-climactic.

Can you explain why SCOTUS granted cert in the first place? Was it just to tell the lower court that they used the wrong standard of review?

I agree with you, and I'd like to add my own theory: women have been simplified by society that it's difficult for society to fathom a woman being unsatisfied or so deeply unhappy as to be suicidal.

Nope, I get some weird error message about the network being busy or something.

You're not alone. I had to look it up on the Google.

Oh no, I agree with you! I guess I didn't express it properly, or maybe this wasn't the proper thread. I agree, all I seem to hear are stories of declining fertility with age, how long it will take, etc. Yet, at 27, I seem to be in the midst of a baby boom. Two of my friends had the same experience you mentioned:…

We still want to hang and party and get drunk and be carefree too.

So what you're telling me is, that, at 27, I have more than 6 months to get over my ambivalence about children?

It is such a complete and utter crapshoot. My one dear friend is in her early thirties and has been actively trying for over a year now. I think she had one miscarriage. Others, like the OP, seem to have no trouble. I guess you'll never really know until you actively try (damn cliche) or have an "oops."

If you are going to a wedding where you know a lot of the guests, maybe you can all go in together on one larger-ticket item? I know that a few of my sorority sisters did that for one girls wedding. We were all right out of college so money was tight.

Also, I think the link to the Times article is broken. FYI

I'm excited for what this means for women like my one friend, a super-badass intel officer who has had limited career options in the service because of her gender. I know that it will be tough and probably few women will actually be accepted into the programs, but at least now they can *try*

Aw thank you for the support! I feel all warm and fuzzy now.
