15 years ago my friends pranked me really hard that I won the DC shoes monthly giveaway by calling my house and acting like they were from DC. I was suckered really good and got laughed at for weeks. So I wrote DC an email telling them about this story and how I should win it for real and punk those guys right back. I…

I wonder if falling a lot during his career led to CTE and depression.

I found out I was pregnant New Year’s Day. Lots of drinking and smoking. Perfect, healthy, too smart so if it dumbed her down a bit, “meh”

This is my story. Doctor said they get nourishment from the yolk sac for the first 5 weeks. Also, probably means you have fun friends :)

I was shit-faced the weekend before I found out I was pregnant. I also had a beer or glass of wine once a week once I was past the halfway mark. My kid is healthy and well-behaved (for a 4 year old...I mean, he’s still a stubborn asshole sometimes...but so are his parents).

It’ll put hair on your fetus.

Still, some day in the future when she’s out of the Fox stable and decides to write a book about her time there, I’m going to read that cover-to-cover...

I love to see a Fortuny gown with an evening coat. Even more drama!

These are an incredibly lovely and beautifully executed homage to Fortuny. Especially the yellow. Magnificent.

This is really timely for me. Right now, I have a student whose IQ is similarly low, who is minimally literate (she can read early reader books, but definitely not a newspaper), and really struggles with basic problem-solving skills. She is obsessed with having babies and being a mom. She talks about her future…

DCF workers don’t have any right to refusal and have to take all cases which does result in overburdening. I wish people who get angry at situations like these would think that part of the problem is a resource and training issue and maybe go beyond anger and think about how the system needs to change.

I think you’re completely right she needed, and still needs, help and support. But taking the baby away and only allowing her 1 hour twice a month is ridiculous. Ideally, she would have been referred for help by her OB before birth to gain some of the basics like diapering and CPR and then a home visit nurse would…

I feel for her and while I’m glad she got her daughter back, the state and the hospital were doing their job, which was to protect the child. I’m a pediatrician and see many parents who, to be completely honest, shouldn’t be taking care of their children without help. I’m not saying everyone with some developmental…

After Dana’s placement, Sara was initially allowed to see her daughter for one hour each week with the brief help of her own mother and the supervision of a social worker.
