Unless your in northern California (SF Bay) which due to the GS owning a number of properties, the cookies are $5. And we didn't even get some of the good ones they had in socal.

Yeah, like she ever finishes anything...

Ignoring, for a moment, the fact that Dr Suess is rolling in his grave fast enough to produce electricity, can we agree that the second you "re-write" a beloved children's book for political means it makes you look like a fucking lunatic? Didn't someone else in Congress do this with Green Eggs and Ham as well and it…

What sorts of cookies do you think you can get from the American Heritage Girls? I'll start.

Great. So not only will I die by coughing up a lung, but I will have to die knowing that it's because some Portland hipster yuppie douchebag couldn't be arsed to take his daughter Cucumber to get a fucking pertussis shot between her unicycle and harpsichord lessons.

I'm a new mom suffering from postpartum depression and anxiety and a huge source of my stress was the difficulty my baby had gaining weight while breast feeding, my anxiety at the actual feedings, and the guilt I felt (and continue to feel$ when I chose to stop. So basically this is a shitty law that will only make…

My only question about that situation is did your parents discuss this with the other child's parents? Or were the other child's parents aware that this was going on? I only ask because if I were a parent that is something I'd like to know so that I can be on the lookout for it. I'd also flat out expect it from…

Somewhere at the offices of A&E, someone is thinking: "A star is born."

That's awful. But also, lets pretend you were adopted. Who goes up to someone, who, at that point, the believe has adopted a child, and tells them horror stories about other adoptions?!

Off topic... and at the risk of getting your hackles up... did you read this super long but super worth-it gem from the NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/projects/2013/…

Get out of here with your socially responsible, yet totally nonjudgmental and realistic comments. What's the point of being socially aware unless you think you are singlehanded.y doing everything right and lording that over other people?

Sorrynotsorry that some people think that self-esteem should be based on things that the person in question values and not based on a societal standard that not everyone has the time or inclination to uphold.

Translation: I have a black friend.

It's not so much about celebrating the awesomeness of fat, as it is trying to celebrate the awesomeness of people. It's a catch 22 for someone trying to lose weight. Losing weight takes a lot of effort and investment in yourself, but we're taught that being fat means you are worth less. So it's easy to get trapped…

"I suppose I don't understand the "I love myself regardless of my size!" mentality."

The discussion definitely has to be broader. Right now, our culture is such that we're more pressed for time (companies squeezing every last drop of productivity out of its employees), there's an entire industry dedicated to getting people to eat food that is over-processed and unhealthy, we're becoming more dependent…

You just lost me. The "I love myself regardless of my size" mentality is thinking some variation of "I have good qualities and am worthy of love and respect". I'm not sure why someone shouldn't feel that because of how they look EVEN IF they look how they look because they have some unhealthy habits.
I rarely exercise.…

I guess I just don't understand the need for this type of "health/obesity danger" rant concerning those women on the plus sized lingerie site. All they were doing was modeling their purchases from the store. I'm fairly certain, they didn't expect this kind of publicity simply by posting pics on a niche site. To hear…

She's just the latest story that has helped me perfect my theory that Sacramento is the Florida of California.

I had anti-aircraft mortars as party favors at my wedding and we didn't have any problems.
