The problem with this statistic (there are actually several on Kellerman’s methodology, but I won’t go into those here) is that the figure of gun deaths includes suicides, a more common cause of gun death in the home than homicides and accidents combined. One can reasonably conclude that, while a gun is one of the…

As much as I think Britain leaving the EU is a bad idea, the more the pound is devalued, the cheaper my tuition becomes.

I believe you mean Torrono, no “t.”

The idea of postponing marriage and children (if even planning on doing the latter at all) until one’s 30s or later is a relatively recent idea as far as being more common goes, but most surveys I’ve seen show only about 10% of millennials say they don’t want children, so the number of people actually embracing this…

If you are single and childless, $130,000 (US) is more than enough money a year to spend all your vacation time globe trotting. That’s more money than most middle class families of 4 or 5 make per year.

If the numbers that Women on Web have seen low, it’s not because there isn’t a demand... I would imagine it’s likely that there are a LOT of rural and poor women (the women who are disproportionately affected by Zika) who simply don’t have Internet access. Zika is an economic issue as well as a gender, health, and…

I hope Janeane Garofalo is in the first five episodes and then gets mysteriously written out of the show.

First off, fuck that nurse. I had two miscarriages before baby no. 3 and “it’s not your fault” was the first thing out of every doctor’s mouth, as it should have been. That lady was crazy unprofessional, making unfounded threats to admonish you for things totally beyond your control.

People who can’t see breastfeeding and formula feeding as complementary are way too self absorbed in their own choices. Breastfeeding is great if you’re able to do it and formula is great if you aren’t. Some people seem to forget that formula literally saves lives. And I say this as a non-crazy mama who breastfeeds…

One thing to try for night time is double layering. We double stuff a pocket diaper (you can find good, cheap all in one’s on Amazon) and then take a PUL cover from our prefold stash and wrap it around the poket diaper. Helps with the leaks. There’s also all sorts of combos for inserts; hemp is supposed to be super…

It’s really, really looking a whole lot like Girlfriends Guide to Divorce, which would be ironic since Lisa Edelstein was once considered for the role of Carrie on SATC.

This show already exists...

Most people who order wine know not to send it back just because they picked the wrong one and they don’t like the taste of a perfectly good wine. They’ll only send it back if it’s corked or otherwise bad. At that point the server consults the manager or host and it gets poured down the drain. The next day the manager…

In the first two trimesters I lost over 20kg because the smell of most things made me sick. No meat for me! It went from my gyno saying ‘It’s okay, you’re fine losing a bit of weight,’ to ‘You can ignore restrictions and eat anything you like.’ After about the fifth month a switch flipped and I ended up with a few kg…

Bock. We are the same humans. (Except you’re hella better educated than me. Lol) I’ll tell you the truth: I shut down. I have oppositional defiance and low blood sugar, was working 3rd shift and married outside my race to a man my family won’t respect cuz Racists. My mother has destructive narcissistic personality…

And your kid wants you to be healthy, too. Which is more important? A happy and healthy mother or breastfeeding at the risk of a miserable and dangerously unhealthy mother? As long as you feed your baby, f that noise. No one even has any damn business knowing why it doesn’t work for you. You can share if you want to…

Lmao @ ‘life changing.’ Its definitely poop changing. Heh.

If their manager and groupie aren't there I’d consider it a waste

I am personally a huge fan of “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” aka Celine’s Meatloaf moment.

Honestly, being pregnant or having a kid and *everyone* weighs in on your decision. Last week the lady in front of me in the coffee shop told me (unsolicited) that I shouldn’t be drinking coffee if I was pregnant.... It’s none of her damn business AND I’m not even pregnant! I just haven’t lost the baby weight.
