A co-worker just told me this story at work yesterday: a woman in her third trimester with twins would go into the gym shower, lay a towel on the floor, turn the water on and then she would sit down on the towel with the water running and shave her crotch. The problem (as if there is just one) was that the shower…

I totally agree. I'm a parent of 3 and you know what? When I finally escape and get a night out, the last thing I want to do is be surrounded by other people's kids. It's not fair to everyone else, it's just not. Don't get me going about the parents who let their precious wonder stand and look over the back of the…

And here's what I'll admit: I've got a bit of a competition "problem", so I'm not claiming to be 100% blameless with regard to my injuries. You're absolutely correct - if you've got your ego involved and you are one who doesn't like to lose, then you are likely going to keep trying to get as many reps in as you can,…

I'm so glad someone said this about Crossfit. I belong to a boxing/MMA gym that added Crossfit a few years ago. The owner became certified and drank the kool aid and started ramming it down all of our throats. I did it for about 3 years, about 2 x a week, to mix in with my boxing/MMA workouts and for awhile it was a…

Did you happen to see them perform that song together on SNL a few weeks ago? I was gagging through the whole thing.

I'm curious how she "fell pregnant". (yes, I realize it's The Daily Mail—it was a bad joke). In all seriousness, I wish we would stop talking about this person and she, in turn, would just go away.

My bro is former Coast Guard and he is also a bit of an aficionado of all things mood and mind-altering and he flies everywhere with his "stuff". Although I did think it was funny that he chose to drive from San Francisco to Minnesota once, simply so he could make sure he had a sufficient amount of weed on him for…

I get it; I do. I breastfed 3 kids. The first one, I made it a full year and got him straight to a sippy cup. The second one, the two of us made it 2 weeks. We were both miserable. I didn't want to quit, either, but he wasn't gaining any weight, he was basically eating ALL THE LIVE.LONG DAY, and between pumping and…

This "dumb hypocritical bigot" is laughing her ass off, Peeping-Tom.

Yep. I posted something similar up thread. My experience with a SAHD was decidedly not as described here. I was really psyched for the arrangement in the beginning and then by the end, ugh, I was living with Randy Resentment and you know what? I was also a little resentful myself.

A-fucking-men on the "not as helpy" part. My ex was a stay at home dad for about 4 years and damned if I would come home every night and still cook dinner, fill the birthday party goody bags (don't get me going on those), meet the enrollment deadlines for sports/activities, fill out the summer camp forms, and fight…

You mean I'm not alone?! I was just diagnosed ADD 5 years ago and I'm 42. He was the first of many psychiatrists to ask me questions about my sleep patterns, about my ability to finish projects, motivation levels, etc. He also asked me about family members. I have 2 older sibs diagnosed ADD - both when they were…

It's smug because it was loaded with judgment and preconceived notions about not only this girl's present, but about her future. I'm sorry but she's NINE. My oldest was overweight when he was younger. He had a number of issues, including tragically low self-esteem, low self-confidence and almost non-existent…

I had to finally stop reading the comments (after an hour...while at work...). I couldn't believe what I was reading. My faith in humanity took a severe blow reading that garbage. It was as if The Missing Link had appeared for the day.

He's just about the kindest person I think I will ever come across. In fact, he puts other people's feelings, wants, choices, etc. before his so much so that I have to remind him that his own feelings, wants, choices matter. He has openly admitted to me that he doesn't feel "good enough" most of the time, and…

I agree with you 100%. I'm one of the few, but brilliant people to actually start smoking in the year 2013. Yep. I became a "I only smoke when I drink" smoker because that's the new, edgy thing that the moms in my area tend to do every single night, I guess in an effort to carve out 10 minutes of pure escape from…

"Ugh, I hate people." "Yeah, they're the worst." Elaine and Jerry.

This was such a great comment. If you decide to put the kibosh on it, I'd love to reconnect with you to hear how you're doing. Also, I never realized before just how ubiquitous alcohol is until I stopped drinking it. Whoa. It is around every corner, every page, every social encounter.

I lost weight right away and noticed that I craved sugar single night. For the first two months, I ate ice cream and whatever the hell else I wanted each night because wooo hooo! I'm losing weight and I'm not drinking! Then that train came to a screeching halt when my body caught up with itself and am now trying to…

I read it. It's dark and interesting. I really liked it. Good for you...
