Hmmm I think she IS pregnant but is going to miscarry and neglect to tell Jaime. She’ll let him think she’s still pregnant to keep him on board with her plans and when he figures it out... hands + wrapped + neck

Thank you. You also tend to show differently and later in a first pregnancy versus subsequent pregnancies when the muscles and ligaments are already all stretched out (and that stretching HURTS in the first pregnancy... something no one warned me about!).

The fear of stairs and hand holding thing also explains that little video with him and Melania at the top of the airplane stairs and makes her ‘screw you, you’re on your own’ reaction even funnier.

That’s EXACTLY what we said...we were also told in no uncertain terms just months before it was announced that there was no discussion of going coed. RMWC class of ‘98.

I’m curious as to what you are referring to as one of the top medical schools in the world? I ask because I know a number of Cuban doctors who have defected and their medical degrees and ability to practice medicine weren’t considered at the same level outside of Cuba (this is in Spain, the US, Mexico and Ecuador) and…

In Cuba they call that a ‘Cuba Ja ja ja”

I thought she was his dealer.

And then they proceeded to skip the five delegations following the US because... moments are overrated apparently.

Ah! I almost forgot one of the worst ones ... when Lauer decided to make sure everyone knew that one of the Belgian athletes is the brother of one of the Brussels suicide bombers, and that he refused to change his name even with the negative association. Despite that fact that the guy has said repeatedly he hadn’t…

I didn’t have particularly strong feelings about him - as I never watch him otherwise - but now I do. Ugh.

AAAHHH the Malala thing annoyed the HECK out of me. “Here are the Pakistani atheletes but perhaps the best ambassador for Pakistan is Malala... etc....” Way to just dismiss the people on the camera who have worked hard to get here (and there were a few women who I’m sure have ineresting stories).

Geez. I just watched the Opening Ceremonies from last night which NBC apparently turned into a 5 hour show (I fast forwarded through the 22 million commercials) and the commentary was INANE. “I guess they think a Q is like a C here, in the Brazilian alphabet, [WHAT] so that’s why Qatar is going now...” Then they made…

Neither could I! So I just stopped thinking about it too much, let myself feel whatever I was feeling and focused on the minute at hand. Eventually those minutes add up to days and then months, etc - and as time passes the pain changes into something that’s more bearable, though it doesn’t really go away. But one good…

Thank you. You know, it was when I just gave up on being strong that I found the strength! I just focused on getting through the minute I was in, then the hour, and existing in the present as much as possible.

Oh - sending big hugs your way. It’s a crazy experience and there’s nothing you can do to prepare yourself. Just feel what you feel ... whatever it is, it’s ok and as I said above, be kind to yourself. Also - people, including people close to you will say weird and sometimes offensive things, but it’s almost always…

Thank you. So gross.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I’m good now - over the past 5 years I moved countries, bought a house, got married and am now 6 weeks away from meeting our son (none of these were things I expected to happen - I am very grateful). I was surrounded by lots of love at the time and still am. But grief changes you and…

My annus horribilis was 2011 when my boyfriend, my grandmother, my boyfriend’s mother and the daughter of a close friend all died within six months of each other. The last two were a week apart and I remember trying to do push ups (light work outs were weirdly helpful as a channel for excess energy) and collapsing on…

And meanwhile Cardinal Cipriani in Peru has just publicly said that the main reason rates of sexual violence against women and girls in Peru are so high (they rank 3rd in the world for number of rapes and four girls between 11-14 give birth each day) is because women put themselves ‘on display’ (literally, put…

Most people don’t even have symptoms. But it seems to manifest differently. In Brazil the big thing has been microcephaly... but in Colombia which had an outbreak this year, they said they had a higher number of Guillain-Barré cases (some of which led to death of the patient). At the beginning of the year they thought…
