I was there! The wind and dust set off the fire alarms at my work. We had to evacuate the building—but the only place to go was out—straight into the storm at its worst. I couldn't see more than a few yards in front of me. Even now, several hours later, home and showered, there's dirt in my scalp and my eyes are…

Someone fed mice a low-protein diet for ten weeks and then got them pregnant.

I'm not a big fan of Sears here in the States, but I visited one in Mexico last year and it was fancy-fancy-fancy! I actually stopped at a Sears when I came back to see if I'd been wrong about the store for all these years, but the one at the mall near my house is a crappy as I'd remembered.

A&W?! Noooooo!! I haven't been in years, but now I really want to find one and order a huge rootbeer float. I should have visited more. I feel so guilty.

I don't understand the problem with this billboard. She's apparently a well-known name in golf. She's dressed appropriately for her sport and actually appears to be golfing. It doesn't call her the "main attraction," it says "major attraction." So, yeah, it's an attractive person being used to attract folks to…

Thank you! I'm just in my second trimester so I still have a ways to go ... but I haven't been sick or emotional. Other than headaches (possibly from no caffeine?) and a bulging belly, I might as well not be pregnant and everything I read (even the things that say every pregnancy is different) seems to be telling me…

Same here. Fake or not, it really bugged me—maybe that's why I want to believe it's fake.

I was five when my sister was born. I begged my parents to name her Primrose. They didn't.

When my nephew was born my dad actually called my brother and basically told him, "now you're stuck with that wife of yours forever." I was really disappointed in my dad for that. I'm sure my former sister-in-law could share some scary stories in this comment thread—which is sad because I really love my family, but…

Thank you! I'm shocked at how many people are just flat-out agreeing with the MIL. Maybe both women are obnoxious. It's impossible to know. Maybe the future daughter-in-law is a monster who doesn't get along with anyone or maybe she has real diet restrictions (diabetic, vegetarian, etc). Plus, the attack on the…

I used to think that too ... and then, with a little weight gain, my boobs exploded. They're big and I hate them. Dressing is more of a problem than I ever imagined. So many of my cute tops have been relegated to the Goodwill pile because they show nothing but cleavage now—and I don't want massive cleavage when I'm…

I get the part about some people not wanting to go to shelters, but what's to stop someone from driving over to, say, Oakland and buying from a breeder or pet store there?

I don't understand how this law would create a black market. Couldn't someone leave the city, buy a pet, and bring it home? The law would ban selling animals in San Francisco, not owning them ... right? Or am I missing something?

I have a friend who lost fifty pounds on Weight Watchers a few years ago and it was almost impossible to talk to her for a while because of it. EVERYTHING was about food, exercise, and/or weight with her. We couldn't have a conversation without one of those three topics coming up. She went through a phase where she…

Oh, we've talked about it and he'll (we'll) be throwing balls and playing with our kid whether it's a girl or a boy (we won't find out til it's born), but I think there's this little fantasy in his head still of a boy....

Expecting my first. My guy and I are stereotypically divided. I want a girl. He wants a boy. He thinks a boy will be easier. He's scared to death of the sexualization of little girls ... and I'll admit that shopping for my eight-year-old niece is getting very hard for that very reason ... plus, I think he has…

I think she keeps blaming it because it apparently worked the first time.

Thank you! All I could think of was flutes at first and the thought of trying to squeeze a boob into one made me wince a little.

Alcohol is a controlled substance. The controls are exerted more strongly on someone with a DUI.

I hadn't thought of the reality show angle, but I was wondering exactly what you're trying fathom. Why does he think that anyone would want to be with him based on what he's presenting? It's like he doesn't have any friends to filter this through first.
