Based on his description of brunches he has been to I'd say the man has confused the words "brunch" and "drunken lost weekend." If I substitute "drunken lost weekend" for "brunch" his article makes a lot more sense. Brunch is a perfectly nice meal that he should go try.

Just scheduled a Saturday birthday brunch with two 40 year olds and their 4 year old daughter at Venturo Osteria. Come at me bro.

from what i can tell, past him is the worst and so is present him.

Another thing to consider about death rates for c-section births is that c-sections are more likely to occur when there is already a risk factor in play. As the author notes, an "emergency c-section" is pretty much worst-case scenario because you're in the situation of having to do surgery in order to try and prevent…

You're the Worst, now on my hit list for future viewing. Mindy also does a good job with the texting pop-ups

Holy shit, I guess I DO believe something crazy, I am totally a Beyonce Fake Pregnancy truther!

You move to NYC so that wherever you end up later seems cheaper (no one leaves NYC for San Francisco). Of course the house in Nashville is twice as big and cheaper than their house in Brooklyn, it's like that in most of the US.

Setting aside the questionable notion of moving to a particular city because you really like a TV show that takes place there... Nashville, of all shows? It's entertaining usually, but it's not THAT good.

I think its really weird you moved to Nashville to stalk the cast of a television show, when you could have been stalking and enjoying real country musicians. Is the real thing not as shiny and captivating as the network tv version?

I think that we should just end the failed experiment that is daytime TV. Every channel should have to go dark until Jeopardy! comes on.

Wait? The excerpt which talked about how she was literally unable to function during her childhood due to various crippling fears and undiagnosed OCD? All you got from that was that she was privileged enough to pay for all those therapy sessions?
It seems to escape all the Jezebel h8 bandwagoners that her show Girls…

Here's an idea, we make the NFL pay taxes and use that tax money to pay for the NIH.

On his podcast last week Dan Savage said he was planning to set something up for her, you could check his blog?

Callie, have you found any information on where people can donate to Mrs. Whalen's legal defense fund and/or expense mitigation for her family? That would be a very helpful tidbit to highlight if available, thanks!

I absolutely agree that it's illegal. I just think it likely that many people out there wouldn't know/understand that administering a pill bought from a website that presents itself as legitimate is illegal. Should they know it's illegal - absolutely. Might they have an inkling that they ignore in their desperation -…

As a childless lady I appreciate the horror stories more than the 'it was a special, magical fairy tale' ones. Because those are LIES!

Doing regular self-exams is a different matter.

Well, Connie Britton is an actress - you may never have seen her in anything, so that's okay (go watch Friday Night Lights!). But Kirsten Gillibrand is a US Senator and an amazing feminist role model. You should definitely know who she is!

I understand why people would feel like they couldn't talk about this. If we're being honest about feelings here, I honestly felt no sympathy for the women above. To be honest, I saved all my sympathy for their children.
