My friends with babies go to brunch during actual breakfast time, before the rush, at like 8am. I went with them once, it was such a different Sunday morning scene. Actually sort of calm and efficient, with all young families, screamers were taken outside and all tipped pretty well. I always thought that was ok...?

I don't mind the *existence* of babies at brunch/bars/restaurants/movies at all, as long as a) you don't expect me to alter my adult behavior, and b) if your baby starts screaming (not crying, but that ear-piercing screaming) you get the fuck out of there and try to calm that heathen down before you rejoin society.

To me, it's more like having a second adult person around makes me feel safer than being solo. Right now it's my male partner, before that it was my female roommate, before that it was my parents.

Yeah, I'm going on a 19-hour 3 flight trip next week, back of plane coach. My yoga pants and xanax are the only comforts I have!

A few months after my last bad breakup, I met a dude at a thing I wasn't even planning on attending. Five months after we met we moved in together and we have now been married for 4 years. Super unexpected and wonderful :) Don't let yourself get bummed out, just find ways to enjoy the life you have now and be open to…

As you state, this woman's pregnancies were extensively planned, so it is unlikely that she did not consider the age issue.

I read the original article - it's interesting that she notes she still plans to meet and marry a "good man" twice.

I understand where you're coming from, but you can take this slippery slope all the way to the bottom. What if you are disabled, or have a history of depression, or are saddled with debt, or are estranged from family, or are simply poor - these are all circumstances that may require "care" from children. I bet you can…

When I was in like late elementary to early middle school, a lot of my peers had braces, and they would change the rubber bands to match the seasons (black and orange for halloween, etc). I wanted braces so bad, even though my teeth were (and still are) super straight. I didn't even realize braces were uncool until…

And Ron was kinda mean. I was actually surprised I ended up liking and then loving him.

Well she mentioned during the search for a house with Ben that he refused to move in to her house, I am assuming that it was rented/leased and she just gave it up. That was it though! Those two episodes were like the only time we hear about her house and her hoarding!

No totally - and it's not like I don't have a shitton of humiliating stuff on my personal internets that I wouldn't want to get hacked and made public. They just happen to not be nudies.

I actually can't really watch season 1 anymore, because both Leslie and Ron are so much better in later seasons. I always assumed there was a technical reason why Brandanowitz couldn't come back for stuff like that, otherwise there would have been quite a few opportunities.

That's actually one of the few things about the show that didn't sit well with me - like randomly Leslie is a hoarder? And it's only mentioned a few times in the series?

I am working from home right now and very tempted to sneak in an episode during "lunch"

"I just said you were BEING drunk and ACTING stupid"

Yes. My husband doesn't get it, I try to explain by saying it's a band that you love, you put on songs (episodes) depending on your mood or interest level at any given time.

The proposal in the leased house?! game over.

Well I took them because my friends who had kids told me my boobs would never go back to the way they were before pregnancy and to treasure them and take photos so I would remember what they looked like. I guess that counts? I am imagining there's a whole class of hip millennials that do continuous photo shoots with…

I have constant low-grade anxiety that my map-my-run or iTunes song history will somehow end up publicized on Facebook. I've gone so far as to remove the app from my phone completely.
