Yeah, I worked overseas a while back and was amazed by the number if vaccines I needed updated! Good that you are almost up to date now and that it was caught for work not from getting sick.

great article . I too have spent a lot if time reading advice columns in a quest to understand myself. I also recommend reading a ton in general. Fiction can be so helpful in processing and particularly in understanding different ways of dealing with conflict and life.

Really interesting read and I appreciate the thoughtful questions and candid responses. My heart goes out to this couple. I hope that they can find a treatment that works for the husband. It sounds like a difficult and stressful time.

I have curly hair, and in general agree with this advice. However I firmly believe that there are many cheap drugstore brands that work as well if not better than expensive brands. May not smell as good but perform well. I recommend: garnier leave in conditioner; garnier curl control creme; Pantene Bb cream, and…

I only have one kid so what do I know. Very little. I've observed little correlation between kids whose parent spank and good behavior.

Sounds like it's from someone else's egg. Meaning a resulting child would have DNA from 3 people: egg, sperm, and donor mDNA.

Well shoot. Here I am at 36 feeling like I'm probably too old to go for a second child...

Sadly, that's many men. My MIL once apologized to me as she did everything for my husband until he moved out at age 22. It's been a huge issue in my marriage. Things are good now, but I'm horrified by how many women I know do everything for their partners—laundry, all shopping and cooking, cleaning, child care...

I so relate. Having a kid is effing hard. My kid is approaching 4 and it is finally starting to feel like my body is mine again.

Damn she is a goodooking woman.

I'm honestly glad no one interviewd me for a national magazine when I was a teenager. God only knows what kind of faux profound BS I would have spouted.

me too! Also helped spark my love of Greek mythology.

Me!

This is super helpful! I love make up but have always been intimidated by lining the waterline . You've inspired me!

Thanks for this excellent article! I'm very interested in articles like this post as I have a neglectful/abusive mother. For a long time I blamed myself for the mother issues. Moms are so worshipped by society, and kids are do predisposed to bond, that I assumed there was something defective in me. Doing much better…

are you me? This is well put and I've struggled with similar (neglectful to abusive mom with dependable issues, searching for a mother figure...). I'm a parent now and a pretty good one. Therapy and doing a lot of reading and soul searching helps a lot.

Depends on your coloring. I am so pale that I really need blush and something on my lips or I look terribly washed out.

I have such mixed feelings about this...on one hand I loathed the book. On the other, I like the idea of supporting a woman directed film aimed at women. Probably will have to pack booze and see with some friends like you did...

You are a better woman than I. I couldn't even finish book 1. Bites lip, inner goddess slinks away in shame...

I loathed milk most of my life. Was not a fan of dairy in general, and the closest I would come to milk was soy milk. Now after having had a baby, I find I...like milk. I love dairy now. Very strange it's as if the process of being pregnant and producing milk myself made me crave it. So while I understand your anti…
