I believe that is an acknowledged shortcoming in fertility statistics. If you don’t start trying until 30 or 35+, it’s not clear if you are infertile due to age or if you would be having trouble regardless. Add to that the women that started trying in their 20s and have not gotten pregnant, they get pooled in to the…

I’d honestly rather be jet lagged than fast for 14 hours. What am I supposed to do during stopovers and 12-hour flights if I can’t snack???

Looks like a still from a Pixar movie.

Ugh. It’s literally a video of nothing but pretty girls in slow motion - no activities, hobbies, specific events. I was in a sorority from 99-01, and while our recruitment slide show definitely selected for the most attractive shots, they showcased stuff like tailgating, volunteer events, the annual volleyball…

So basically what they’re saying is that it’s tough to be a woman with a career and children. The only argument that is age-specific is the aging parents issue. The financial argument doesn’t even make sense, since generally people make more money as they get older and progress in their career.

I do not understand this “new” j crew - overpriced, mediocre quality, ill-fitting. I still wear some of the staples I got back in the late 90s, but other than a couple pencil skirts that I wear very occasionally it’s just not working for me.

I've gotten it for 2 months so far and I really liked the previous 2 (I'm supposed to get this month's box in the mail today). I've gotten full size lip gloss and nail polish in the previous boxes that were really nice.

I am the same age as Beyonce, and I've been having a minor obsession with my newly-emerging smile lines - and by extension everyone else's smile lines. It's not something I ever noticed or looked out for previously, but seeing them on Bey makes me feel good about them. I can't explain it.

Awww, I love these stories! My now-husband moved in with me officially 4 months after we started dating, once we realized that he hadn't slept at his place in over a month and that one rent was better than two. We've been married 5 years, take that asshole ex-friends who either thought I was pregnant or he needed a…

Sorry for the late reply, but thanks for your input. I don't have kids yet, but planning to soon - and we live in the SF Bay Area. I totally get your side, and agree with it from a logical larger public health point of view, but if I had a choice I would pick a pediatrician that requires vaccinations with exceptions…

I've been reading about pediatric practices that don't accept unvaccinated patients - what are your thoughts on that?

Yeah, living in the house was way cheaper than the dorms. Overall, I am glad I joined a sorority; I was a science major at a super competitive university and wanted to make sure I didn't miss out on having a social life, and the friends I made in the sorority are still my BFFs 15 years later. However, there were many…

Got it :) When I was in college in the early aughts (yes, in LA), Juicy sweats and those Tiffany bracelets were the standard uniform, with LV or gucci logo pochette bags. Just as tacky in my opinion, but at least a style one grows out of after graduation.

On my seventh birthday, my parents invited my two closest friends over for pizza and a movie, and the next day gave me the same number of presents as every other kid from my class they didn't have to invite (and didn't have to make goody bags for). Turns out what I loved the most about large parties was the mountains…

Until your comment (followed by a google) I thought we were talking about Vera Bradley. Same category I guess? Also I was in a sorority for 2 years in CA and I never even heard of this ish. It seems a little too frumpy to be cutting edge style for upper middle class college women.

I recently indulged in Liane Moriarty's "Big Little Lies", where (spoiler alert?) the bully at the elementary school has a bully for a father, and his mother doesn't really see the connection for a while (she later comes around). I can't help but think that this "good kid" has a "good man" for a father, and his mother…

YES - like the first day the class roster was released he requested to add me on linked in, and then the first day the class website was up he sent me the first message. Like, there are 65 people in the class and we have NOTHING in common.

I just started an business certificate course I was (and am!) really excited about, to kick off a career-change that I am also really excited about. About six weeks before the course started, the class website was released and we began the process of forming groups for a team project. Almost right off the bat, this…

Yeah, you can get those from like REI and places like that.

Yeah, we were in LA , so the church thing wasn't really an issue. My friends just asked, how early does "cool breakfast place that also serves brunch on weekends" open? so we could get there right away and leave before the shit show started. Also, around here we do brunch saturday AND sunday!
