Pearl Jam are the bomb, really. While I was pregnant I listened to a lot of classical music, now it’s what makes him sleep better. Maybe she listened to a lot of Pearl Jam while pregnant.

Well, some of those are his sister and brother in law, so, extremely close family members. I only go see them during big family functions (I took a stand similar to yours) but I still see them regularly. And my husband likes them well enough for me to avoid conflict, he’s pissed off I don’t like his sister as it is.…

I’m going to listen to it in the morning, it’s 2 a.m arround here... You just reminded me of a lot of music I love and must listen to posthate. Thanks.

If he doesn’t, I’ll be heartbroken. Can’t wait to introduce him to some of my favourites,like Tom Waits, Dead Can Dance or Portishead. I’ll try putting him to sleep with The Serpent’s egg next. It’s my favourite DCD album.

I actually own the Brian Eno’s CD (showing my age here) but the kid doesn’t seem to like it as much as classical. Fell asslep halfway Barber’s Agnus Dei.

I think a dermatologist is the right person to ask. I heard peels work fine, but they may not be right for you. Spring for the professional, it’s not worth it to gamble with your face.

I’m currently trying to put my son to sleep to the sweet, sweet sound of classical music (Pavane for a dead princess, currently), which is even less glamorous than dancing a sweet, sweet jam at home. Woho adulthood.

It’s only a big deal if you let it become a big deal. Sweet, stable guys are hard to get by. Go out with him and have a good time. If the age thing still bothers you after the date, oh well. plenty of other fish in the sea.

We still have them. So. Many. Axe body spray. Ladden. Douchecaravels. They’re not an American monopoly.

We do, we jut object to miserable excuses for human beings who are horrible to servers. Just a pet peeve of ours.

Douchecaravelle has a nice historical ring to it, IMO.

As a middle school teacher for almost twenty year, I couldn’t agree more. They are, indeed, raging idiots.

Sometimes you have no choice if it’s family. You can’t jut sever ties for different values, even if you really want it. A lot of people in my husband’s family are sexist, pro-gun, pro-bullfights nuts. And I have to be civil to them. Let’s just ay I keep my mouth shut, mostly and hang out as little as possible. They’re…

I... kinda like him?

I especially like Gothika’s photography, so underrated.

That’s part of the reason I moved away from the place I grew up as soon as possible never to return. I had wonderlust, yes, but I also wanted to get away from my tormentors. I was bullied since I was five years old up until I was seventeen or so. That changes you forever as a person. My husband complains I’m always…

Here in Europe buildings like that are really rare. Most families own their own washer, and rentals have them too, no dryers though, the electricity bills are high enough to make you decide against it. Because I live in the middle of nowhere I have the luxury of drying my clothes in the enclosed back garden. It saves…

I don’t love ironing but the clothes do look nicer. I have one of those high power steam irons and stuff looks almost new. Most of my clothes need ironing and my husband has grown addicted to having his t-shirts neatly ironed so, more work for me. The baby clothes need to be ironed as well, as they’re more comfortable…

I’ll look for it and give it a second chance. First time around it was kind of traumatic.

They feel better and are more comfortable for the baby ironed (their skin is really sensitive and wrinkles can itch causing discomfort and crying jags). Plus the steam from the iron kills any germs and stuff it could have picked up in the garden. I certainly don’t do it for fun.
