This story would be relevant to my interests.

Same. I was like: Adele! Judy Collins!

Also a moot point- there are no abortion clinics in Wyoming. There is one provider in Jackson that is a private practice physician and charges over $1000 because the procedure has to be done at the hospital.

Yeah I pretty much only look at my husband with boredom and contempt unless he just made a good Simpsons reference.

Dude- SAME.

My grandmother also had HG with all four :( and I really was scared about getting pregnant again after the first but, you forget, you think it might not be bad again... and it was worse with #2. And it was one girl and one boy, so I’m convinced that gender has nothing to do with it.

They gave me Zofran during my first time with HG and I would never take it again. Worked OK for nausea. Caused me to not be able to take a shit. AT ALL. Not sure what was worse, childbirth or the constipation. :)

Just sending good vibes from a fellow HG alumnus. It is fucked up.

Taking medical marijuana was the only thing that got me through debilitating hyperemesis gravidarum during my second pregnancy. I relied on European studies that showed no adverse fetal effects. After losing 20 lbs in the first 4 months of pregnancy, one pill a day gave me the ability to finally want to eat a meal and…

All of Australia does not get it. He is Australian. Native American dress up is still considered hip- see pic I took of a storefront in fancy Melbourne last year. Cringe.

Have low expectations and it will be OK! jk For real, be happy with yourself and realize that you won’t always be 100% happy with your partner 100% of the time. Staying married just means sometimes sticking it out.

Same. 4th year PhD candidate. Two kids. Husband with PhD who is much more academically productive than me just spent one year applying before getting a temporary research fellowship. Visiting Prof my ass.

This is absolutely true. It’s almost wholesome :)

My dad is recently widowed and living alone. My Mom was sick for a long time and he doesn’t seem interested in dating. BUT...I have had multiple incidents in the last 3 years of running into things I don’t want to see 1. Cleaning out his car found Mapquest(!) directions to strip clubs 2. Helping him sort out his…

I can say, having met Ira Glass that he has no odor and has beautiful teeth, skin, and hair (swoons)

Namaste

Never trust someone who is finger-tenting.

I’m also a goody/goody. My BFF and I call this being “super after-school special” . I guess that we always paid attention to the messages in the ABC After-school specials: don't do coke or your nose will bleed and you will die/become and addict right away.

Seriously. The truck driver thing. True story: I have only hitch-hiked once. My Subaru’s clutch went out on the interstate in the middle of southern Idaho in 90-plus degree heat. This was (I’m old) before mobile phones. I was miles and miles from any town. So, I stuck my thumb out. Many, many cars passed me before a…

This one gives me the sads- partially because she was the same age as my Mom, who passed away 3 years ago...partially because I loved her first autobiography, which I read after becoming obsessed with the Patty Duke show as a teenager, and partially becuase I always had a monster crush on her son McKensie. Sigh.
