Yes, I agree, women who play professional sports should be fairly compensated. And the disparity between losing in the first round of the men’s FIFA World Cup and winning the women’s FIFA World Cup should not be so stark - particularly for an organization wit h so much money running around. HOWEVER, some of the reason…

I didn’t say it made me mad, but it’s as useful as telling someong that breathing is crucial to survival. If you’re going to say something, congratulations isn’t weird at all and “oh shit, you’re in for it” is the same as “your life is going to change.” I just think it’s odd that people are so obtuse that they think…

Married in my early 30s and know that with my career (lawyer who is admittedly pretty successful) there’s no slow time and we knew we wanted kids and I didn’t want to put more risks/hurdles in the way by waiting until I was (or was nearly) 40 to start, so we picked 35 to start trying. It was based on an underlying “we…

About to have my first at 36. People keep telling me “your life is about to totally change!” I am acutely aware of this. It’s precisely why I (and my husband) waited until we were ready for that change to have children. It’s not like I’ve never observed human beings becoming families in modern society so I have no…

I don’t believe this is true of Diddy’s son, but Snoop’s son was a top recruit his year (for the class of 2015). SI notes he was 27th for wide receivers nationwide.

Flip flops have a place! At - or going immediately to/from - the beach; PROVIDED that your trip to the beach doesn’t involve any urban walking or public transportation, at which point you should wear something that covers/protects your feet. That goes for men and women.

Yeah, I cannot achieve this today. #36weekspregnant #bellybuttonnowanoutie #cantseemyfeeteither

Where is Margery (I mean, imprisoned, but no follow up?) and why was there no Olenna Tyrell? How long must I wait for more Tyrell?

“married people under the age of 32”

The author of Gonzales cannot be handed this case to be given the right to have any possible thing be either “medically uncertain” (or whatever the term was) or medically reasonable. If Kennedy is the best hope, I feel hopeless. Can we let RBG vote 5 times instead (or at least 3)?

But it’s a different kind of sweet - the fake sweet/aspartame thing. Or maybe that’s just what a frappuccino is supposed to taste like and I am not the target market.

As the existing frappuccino flavors are all way too sweet for me, I am mostly just fascinated that the existing level of sweet is so inadequate for so many that a secret menu emerged to create this many more flavors. I’ll stick to my iced americano.

It’s because it’s a LOT easier/cheaper for the designers. I wanted sleeves when I got my dress (a couple years ago) and ended up having some made by the seamstress. But, the primary reason for pushing strapless styles is ability to increase profit margins by the designers.

I cannot abide the Tevas. However, full disclosure, the second it was passably hip and fashionable to wear Birkenstocks again I got some - silver and white. My feet get hot in the summer, commuting (in NYC, but applies to any non-beach environment) in flip flops is disgusting, and I needed better get around shoes.…

UGH. Many medical practitioners will require a viability ultrasound ANYWAY prior to performing abortion. The “look at what’s inside you” part of the law isn’t required, however. This is a medical decision (whether the U/S needs to be performed), so leave it to doctors. I’ve had a number of U/S (transvaginal or…

I’ll go with never been funny and always has seemed lecherous and off putting. I couldn’t stand to watch him as a kid when I first started staying up late enough or sneaking late night TV and he never grew on my all these years later.

No one does. Unless you’re a hipster. Then you just, you know, know.

As a non-hipster W’burg resident, all I can say is that it’s BRILLIANT that the L isn’t bringing MORE PEOPLE to the hood on the weekend. (And as an adult with a car who is also close to the G, no train when I don’t have to go to work doesn’t really bother me at all) The hipsters have moved on - they live in Bushwick…

The best thing about learning that this show is cancelled is that soon, I hope, when/if American Idol comes up in conversation and I say “I’ve never seen it” I won’t have to listen to fans tell me that I should start! Small (talk) victories.

Except, he could spend that time (I believe). I think (I am no expert) that he would be legally entitled under FMLA and if he wants to spend 7 unpaid weeks at home, his employer has to hold his job. Your note suggested that it’s a corporate culture issue that he doesn’t, which is pretty standard in the US as well.…
