Yeah, the only friends he even pretends to respect are the one who went to law school (but is not a lawyer), and the one who is a doctor. He’s obviously better than them, but they’re closest to his incredibly high and aspirational level.

My friend is marrying a lawyer who is absolutely awful, and the worst part is he clearly thinks we are all the absolute dumbest people in the world because we are not also lawyers.

Hey, you don’t have to be able to read to be smart.

I don’t think you’re a hypocrite.

Just up your ice cream intake. That’s what I’m doing.

My friends are all well-educated, privileged, but most of them only understand how their menstrual cycle works (in greater detail than “period, ovulation, period if you’re not pregnant, approx 28 days”) because I read Taking Charge of Your Fertility and shared a ton of information with them.

He lived to a very old age, and completely on his own, with no real help. And when he got sick, it was quickly apparent that he probably wouldn’t be able to go back to his house alone.

My grandfather had a potential cancerous tumor removed from an organ. And when they found it, and said it might be cancer, he was like, “well, my affairs are in order. Let’s remove it, but that’s all I’m doing. I will enjoy every second of my remaining time. No chemo. No radiation. Not up for debate.” All of his…

Meanwhile, at my office, I tried to get pregnant for 3 years, taking lots of time off for “medical tests/procedures” that were fertility treatments. When it finally worked, I waited about 15 weeks before telling anyone at work (had to be positive it was definitely sticking!). Despite the fact that there was a definite…

I’m a 30 year old woman. In all my times in public bathrooms, I’ve never been exposed to anyone else’s genitals, and no one has seen mine.

We got them the day the last block went on sale - matinée performance with the understudy instead of LMM performing, and they were under $200/ticket. I had to really convince my husband, since he’s not super into musicals and that’s a lot of money.

Oh, for sure! After three seconds of thinking about it, I was like, “oh yeah, he was 79.” And when it came out that it was a heart attack, I was like, “of course it was. That makes perfect sense.” But the thought crossed my mind in the seconds it took to read the headline and wait for the article to load.

Not gonna lie - I had the same thought.

Oh I LOOOVE the people comparing this to the Confederate flag.

My state doesn’t tax feminine hygiene products, and it also doesn’t tax toilet paper, diapers, soap, first aid products, etc. We aren’t a perfect state by a LONG SHOT but at least we have that going for us.

We once had a demonstration from a vitamin company at work (relevant to our business, though it sounds super weird lol), and they gave us samples of their gummy vitamins to try. Every tastes them, everyone likes them. One presenter asks the other presenter which bottle he used, so she knew which other one to let us…

I mean, there are a lot of questions raised for me that the article didn’t address - babies with scheduled c-sections usually are because there’s a larger problem than having trouble with labor, right? (I mean, hopefully!) So is it actually labor or the overall health of the pregnancy + mother + baby?

I was reading something about a study in the difference between vaginal and c-section babies. And there seemed to be a difference between babies born in c-sections after there had been active labor, and babies born in c-sections with no labor. And I wouldn’t be surprised if this had more benefits for…

The clerk who issued our marriage license later started issuing them to same-sex couples to prompt the lawsuit that ultimately made it legal in my state.

You stop making so much of it at some point, but it takes awhile to leave your system. It just levels off, stops doubling every two days.
