I, too, didn’t realize circulon hate was a thing. I cook everything (including eggs) with mine all the time. They’re a whole lot better than my old aluminum Teflon pans, but that probably goes without saying. I feel like I’m missing something here. Like one day I’ll cook with an actual nice pan - the eggs will hop…

We got LG appliances, including a French door counter depth fridge, which I love. Sears had a sale on them as a bundle and then we got $600 or $700 rebate from LG... I can’t remember exactly; this was 18 months ago.

Counterpoint: When your four-year-daughter calls the vulva a “front bum” and she announces to everyone in the Target bathroom that Mommy has hair on her bum.

I don’t have my numbers in front of me, but we spent close to $50k on our kitchen remodel BUT this also included a small powder room and new floors throughout the kitchen, powder room, dining room, and entry. We have a friend who is a general contractor who helped us - he charged us for his time but we still got the…

As an architect, I deal with this every day. It’s called retainage. The owner witholds 10% of payment until the job is complete and then the retainage is released.

Mom and grandma (the seamstress) taught me this as well. There are few things I would blindly accept from either of them, but sewing is one thing where, well, if mom/grandma said it, it’s true.

They date it from the start of your last menstrual period. So if you have a perfect 28-day cycle (yeah, right) your period would be two weeks late when the six-week timer is up.

During my friend’s 20-week anatomy scan, it was determined her baby had a condition that wouldn’t allow him to live more than a week or so. Doctor suggested suggested she terminate the pregnancy. She chose not to. While I’m sure she would have grieved for the terminated pregnancy like she grieved for the baby’s death…

My two year old will do yoga videos with me. Sticking her butt up in the air for downward dog, standing with one foot in front of the other for crescent, sticking her butt up in the air for forward fold. It's a grueling regiment.

I agree with the exception that I loooooove time alone in my hotel room. No one else's butt to wipe, no one crying for me, no middle of the night paci hunt. It's great.

As others have said you can travel with breast milk with or without baby. My challenge was keeping it cold. The hotel fridge did shot to freeze my ice packs, so I brought along ziplocks to make ice packs from cubed ice. It's just a giant pain in the ass no matter what.

I thought I’d share my IUD experience for anyone interested. I got mirena after the birth of my first child. Insertion was no big deal, especially after having gone through pelvic exams and cervical checks during pregnancy. I’d found that birth control bills gave me anxiety, but I didn’t get that with mirena. However,…

Former Utahn here.

I was 28 when I got married, but H was 35. I'll have to break the news to him that he's more likely to get divorced than me.

I actually say okie-dokie, artichokey. Often.

I think it’s socially acceptable to show up an hour late, see the ceremony on TV, load up on drinks and h’ors d’ouvres and go home.

My SIL video recorded our wedding - we didn’t ask her to, the camera was a new toy and she figured, why not. I have still - eight years later - never seen that video and really have no desire to. I remember our wedding and lots of special details of the day, but I do t give two shits about seeing the wedding from the…

How do we know Katie Couric doesn’t do anal?

I had to go back and look - after all WTF is an insincere forehead? - and yep, that is a fucking insincere forehead.

No, no, no, no, the gays are pedophiles, you see.
