It seemed when Yeltsin was in that Russia was not going to go this way. But he picked Putin and it's been KGB city ever since. Sad, the wasted opportunity. And sad that Gorbachev defends him.

No. You know what not to do in a way that will probably make you a better parent. :)

I wear slips as outerwear. I know, it's not the '90s anymore, but those dresses in Gap Body? Throw a sweater over one of them and boom, you're wearing a very comfy LBD. I detest waistbands and refuse to get into one. My only pair of jeans is the largest size of Ann Taylor Loft stretch. They're practically jeggings. I…

Thanks for this!
