Congratulations if you are pregnant (and want to be). Personal question: How are your boobs? As someone who normally got slightly sore peior to my period, when I got pregnant I brushed my breast with a towel and it was excruciating. That was when I thought, "oh dear. I am two days late and...".

Fellow grey pregnant person here. Decided to cross country ski on Friday and maybe pulled my groin? Loose tendons? IDK, but today it feels like someone tried to rip my right leg off.

A counselor is always a good start if you have the insurance. I have, over the years, done short bursts of counseling with a specific goal. Sometimes having someone on the outside suggest coping strategies, books, ideas is really helpful...if you find the right person.

Thanks! We are 26 weeks in now and I am still holding my own in beginner’s yoga. I would suggest, when you become pregnant, making sure your instructor has prenatal certification. Good luck to you in the exercise front and the little critter making!

Depends on where you go. Husband and I go to a non-profit studio in a community building and the yoga there is super chill. Been to a Corepower Yoga with a friend though and those people were dicks about me being a novice, even though it was a beginner class.

Thank you! Yes, everything worked out fine (and it was literally half a lifetime ago now). I am generally a lot more active now, but pregnant and I have been thinking about water aerobics again now that it is snowy and icy here.

I second, third and fourth aqua aerobics. I gained like 35 pounds my freshman year of college in a fit of depression and regret over the school I chose. Once I had an accepted transfer and a plan to GTFO, I looked at myself in the mirror and wondered what happened. I was living in the wide open plains and it was cold…

ohohoh, Prime Suspect. Even the series that aren't amazing are good.

Admittedly, I do not watch much TV, so I haven’t seen any of the shows you listed. I agree that Tony feels a genuine connection though. And although he is kind of a mess, he is interested in the people that he looks at, even people who are not “good”. I like that.

Okay, this is off topic, but my husband and I recently sat down to watch Wire in the Blood. The first episode arc has HORRIBLY outdated interpretations of transgender character, but in the episode the female cop has to rescue the male lead. We were both like, this came out in 2002, is totally off base on GLBTQ, and is…

One of my friends literally shit the bed on her honeymoon after eating Mexican Dominos. (Don't judge her, she married one of those adult men who only eat pizza and chicken nuggets, but he is otherwise a really excellent person).

Any excuse to post this.

It screams, "we have to pee really badly." Not. Attractive.

I’ll take your word for it. I don’t even know what I was watching, but the whole thing elicited it such a WTF reaction in my brain that I can’t let it go years later.

I think that the son was adopted during their marriage and Ritchie has visitation with him as well as Rocco. The daughter was adopted during or after the divorce and has no connection to Richie. I don't even know why I know this.

I don’t know if her dad is a chef, but I once saw him making her grits and putting slices of Kraft singles in it, so maybe “chef” is a malleable term?

Oh! I got this talk at Thanksgiving! At first, I was pretty pissed off because despite my brother’s statement that I “always proselytize my way of life” whenever he has a crisis, which is like once a month, I am the one who gets his phone call or a frantic text. Then I realized that he is a depressed dude who is so…

I dig what apple juice said above. Whatever, call it Santa, but no lying about it just straight up being a pretend thing.

I don’t know what their custody arrangement is, but I just want to leave you this for future Christ on a cracker needs.

I have a coworker who does this. The kids stay at the house and she and her ex have a studio apartment and they move back and forth. It’s really good fir the kids, but horrible for them since they still have all of the same shared conflicts over cleanliness of living arrangements, bill paying, etc that they did when…
