I’m not in the medical field so I can’t speak to the timing of these kinds of questions, but maybe asking on check-in is a way for staff to keep the abusive partner separate from someone giving birth. Labor is tough enough without having a volatile person in the room.

I would be more likely to watch it without famous folk. I love that regular old people could have wild family histories.

Seconded. The Boston metro area housing market is a nightmare.

I’m going to go all witch in Hansel and Gretel and live in a cookie.

You’d think that if you had a “significant criminal history,” you’d want to lay low, not get a job on a 24-hour so-called news network.

Imaginary Boyfriend Jesse Williams is shocked that he’s not on the list.

I don’t know him and obviously I need to. That is a beautiful man.

I don’t know, I haven’t seen it, but it sounds like “The Next Best Thing” was just the worst overall. But then, I also hate Kirsten Dunst because she was Amy in “Little Women” and Amy is the worst.

I would like a remake from the perspective of Rupert Everett’s character. In my mind, he’s got a whole plot going on on his own, and every so often we get background glimpses of the Julia Roberts plot craziness.

SAME. If they ever do get divorced (because one of them was taken over by a pod person), I hope they keep it secret so the rest of us can live on with the delusion that love is real.

There is no way I would ever be cool enough for that threesome.

What kind of bag was that and how can I get it? Grocery stores say they want you to bring reusable ones...

Amen to that! :)

I like that they found something that was special for them and a compromise on the different weddings they each wanted.

SAME. Other people’s race photos look like they’re so healthy and fit and happy; mine look like I crawled out of a beet farm after some horrific ordeal.

Okay, that’s a legit fun song. Points to Harris, and thank you for the heads up.

Who the fuck is Calvin Harris? Usually I don’t care about the Swift romances, but girl, you can do better than him.

Agreed. And I have to assume that they’re deeply sad inside, because middle school was hell and I can’t imagine living in that kind of mental space forever.

I side-eye anything that becomes someone’s entire identity. My mom was a stay-at-home mom and loved being a mother, but she also never acted like it was the only thing that made up her life—she had friends, she volunteered, she and my father went out to dinner or took weekend trips, etc. Even if you absolutely love…

Same. The whole “let’s become friends because we hate someone else” feeling is too middle school for me. I’d rather bond with people over the actual stresses/joys of something like motherhood than bond with them over being shitty to other people dealing with a similar situation.
