We gave you electricity, rock and roll, jazz, film, and the Internet.

AND if we really believe that hiring a person based on qualifications and not gender/age/looks....

Anyone know what happened to the nanny who previously worked for Ben and Jen? This Christine person had only been there for a few months, I read. So what happened to the nanny before her?

See, that’s what I think, too. They “broke up" because her relationship with an abusive rageaholic was jeopardizing the adoption process. They'll get back together soon, I predict.

Cynical take: she had to “break up” with him because the relationship was jeopardizing the adoption. Now that the adoption has been finalized, they can get back together.

Well, but this is literally a health concern. My pediatrician gave us a gentle lecture about using a good sunscreen properly. Skin cancer can kill you. It’s not a piddly cosmetic concern.

Yes! IIRC it was clear... We were considered weird for being so cautious in the 70s.

Truth. Our pediatrician gave me a gentle lecture about it because Eldest had a sunburn. I used 50 on her, but it washed right off in the ocean waves, even reapplying consistently. I felt like crap.

People here will sometimes put boxes of stuff on the curb so that anyone passing by can take what they like. I've taken countless books and even got a few Le Creuset pots and a chair this way. And have left good stuff for others. It's a nice way to recycle.

Didn't think I could love this woman more than I already did.

I am 100% pro-tampon and will get my daughters on them, straight outta the gate. BUT. When I was still a virgin, I used one of this tampons that expand into a V-shape (I forget the brand and not sure they even have them anymore). It took a long time and a lot of stressed-out pulling to remove it. I was terrified the…

This is just me, but if he called me “disgusting”, I’d find it amusing and not at all offensive. He’s a joke, and his opinions are so outrageous they don’t have any weight for me.

Putting aside this woman’s tragic death for a moment, I’m always surprised that Science is so subjective. Folks always point to “Science!” (especially in relation to Faith) as if it’s an indisputable, absolute Thing made up entirely of concrete Facts and Logic.

Jane Birkin used to carry a wicker market basket as her handbag. There are dozens of photos. Here’s one of my favorites.

No conviction. But the fact that the women have come forward in such great numbers and he has been exposed to the sunlight is very good, indeed.

There are SO many good people waiting to adopt.

Of course. But once it's born, would you kill it, just so no one else could have it? That's fucking twisted, man. How is death a better option for your child than leaving it at a police station??

Are you a parent? Because if most parent had to choose between their child dying or being adopted, they’d want their kid alive.

And did your friend’s sister kill her surprise newborn? You don’t say, but I’m guessing she didn’t.

What? She killed a newborn. This has nothing to do with wanting to be perfect. Get your head out of your ass.
