I can never read an article about this without mentioning my friend, Susan who lives in New Mexico. Healthy, beautiful Pilates instructor who was pregnant 16 years ago. Great pregnancy and all was well. She wanted a at home, water birth for her son. Midwife & spouse was there. Baby came out with umbilical cord…

We really need a better system of certifying and regulating midwives in this country. Most CNMs are prohibited from attending homebirths by their insurance and other types of midwives are largely unregulated and that is terrifying.

Just wait until they start menstruating all over the church floor. Then the no underwear rule will magically disappear.

This title is very misleading. The study is about developmental neuropsychological disorders - brain disorders like autism.

She said it took two weeks, 18 hour days, of crouching down looking through a slit in the chariot, trotting towards a camera on a pole, in a long parking lot. She said everyone was very nice though. She drove Peeta and Katniss (even I squeed) and Mags and Fisher-boy (sorry can't remember his name).

Leonardo DiCaprio is like the fringe tween just waiting for the popular kids to notice him. He has done too many good movies to have not have any Oscars to his name at this point. Matthew McConaughey spends most of his career acting in stinkers like Ghosts of Girlfriends Past and Failure to Launch, but just starts…

Me tonight:

Oscar wrap up:

If Leo wants to win.an Oscar, he needs to lose weight, gain weight, lose a limb, wear false teeth or be Daniel Day Lewis.

American Hustle won nothing. I can sleep easy :)

"Adele Dazim." Nailed it, Travolta.
