It's a pretty good show. A little confusing though. I'm not from Baltimore (from Chicago) though i know they're both filmed there. I usually pick up on small, specific details. What got me in that particular house was the iron work on the stairway. Set design always sounded ideal. Maybe I should look into it. I design…

I prefer to be in front of it. (Get it?) so hot.

The veep's house in that episode is the same set as a hotel for some of the reporters towards the end of the 2nd season of house of cards. My hidden talent that will never net me a single dollar: an uncanny ability to remember random TV show sets.

I read (during my obsessive post-watching internet reading) that it is "looking like" the kid (ahh Silas, so hot) did not in fact commit the crime.

This has gotten so blown out of proportion. I do think it's ridiculous that people are saying you should never ever never tell someone they look good. ever. It is a blanket statement that makes no sense. OBVIOUSLY if a: I don't know the person that well or b: I know they are suffering from an ED or cancer or…

Apologies for my delayed reply. So, it seems I have offended your delicate sensibilities by agreeing with someone else's opinion that doesn't happen to align with yours. I can agree that someone else is ludicrous/overreacting, that's the nice thing about opinions. And having an opinion doesn't inherently make someone…

Man that is genius. Medela will probably fabricate a similar contraption and sell it for $100. I mean I love my freestyle but damn this stuff adds up! (Still cheaper than formula which is what keeps my cheap ass from giving up pumping all together!)

WTF with the spaceships?! Motorcycles?! I feel like my childhood is crumbling in front of my very eyes.

Breastfeeding never worked for me. We spent nearly a grand on lactation consultants and various breastfeeding aids and assistance (yay grandfathered insurance plan that didn't have to recognize the ACA until the end of the year. syke.) So I have been pumping literally since the morning after my daughter was born as…

Thank goodness I didn't drop the milk. I would have cried. Instead I laughed at myself, thinking "OF COURSE you just dropped your most critical piece of clothing into the nastiest abyss known to man." I was pretty shocked I didn't cry (I was only 5 weeks or so postpartum and man the hormones...no joking around with…

Vol. 2 of my "I was pumping when" memoirs...I was pumping in a side room from a hotel ballroom during a bridal show thrown by THE MARTHA. I was there for work, and had to sneak away to pump. I couldn't lock the side room but it was reserved for very few people. The ONLY person who came in the entire time was the…

I was pumping in the ladies room at Midway a few months ago, hands free bra and everything, really feeling like I was nailing it, being a traveling mother and all...and then as I was finishing up and very carefully putting a lid on the fruits of my labor I dropped the bra into the toilet. No longer nailing it.

I am also thrilled when people notice I've lost weight. I've lost weight from running, from lifting weights, from dancing on the line of disordered eating, from having mono...the list goes on. But, as you said, I appreciate a compliment! I'm really surprised at how many people on here don't, so I guess I have learned…

Likewise, people have given valid reasons for why they comment or gladly accept comments from others. Different strokes/different folks, know your audience, etc. etc. Didn't realize having an opinion and supporting someone else who gladly accepts praise made me a jerk. I don't think I said "let's go out for drinks and…

I guess there are pitfalls to every method, and it really comes down to knowing your audience, like anything else. It's the same reason I don't talk about my sex life in front of my father.

Of course not to every single person on the street. If my sister is actively whitening her teeth we would likely have discussed the various options, so yes, I would probably say "hey girl, teeth are looking great!" and an inch of hair, seriously, please let's nit-pick here, but in general if someone's hear looks great…

I've been reading a lot about helping daughters to create a positive body image, and I do keep seeing over and over again that instead of saying "you look thin" "you look like you've lost weight" "you look ____" etc etc to focus on "you seem healthy" "you seem very happy," to take ake it completely away from the…

It is interesting that you think "You look even better now" is superior to "You look great!" I'd rather be told the latter over the prior hands down, every single time. Semantics really are a bitch!

Love your analogy. Love how you spread the love to your friends for all of their goals, be them physical, health related, cultural, or whatever!

Agreed. Let's all go out for drinks and celebrate our ability to NOT overreact.
