I really, really hate Ivanka and everything she stands for.....but every now and again I remember that photo, and I feel a wave of sympathy for her. I’m not saying he ever actually didn’t anything, but clearly something was very off in their father-daughter relationship, and she couldn’t have had a normal, healthy

Is she British by any chance? That’s a common one amongst working class Brits in a lot of areas.

That is reassuring, thank you! I will keep the faith that the second trimester will be the part where people tell me I’m glowing as opposed to, ya know, green. I’ve ordered some non-underwire maternity bras - me and my newly enormous boobs are excited for their arrival! :)

She had another one after that??? Brave woman....

Please tell me it got better! Haha, the jump in cup size happened before I’d even had the positive test too - I had just ordered several new bras from my usual store and none of them fit. I was really irritated that they’d changed their sizing....Oops!

I’d agree with that, actually - I was thinking purely in terms of work ethic.

I think Charles will make a decent, if not beloved, king, and he & Camilla certainly do a lot in the royal service. It’s all up in the air for the next lot though....

I’m not going to lie, I cackled a little to myself thinking of those lazy wastes-of-space-and-taxes having a little panic this morning when they heard the news.

Who are these magical creatures who go to 18 weeks with no negative side effects of pregnancy, and what did I do wrong in life not to be one of them? I’ve been throwing up everything since 5.5 weeks, my boobs have jumped a cup size, I have a constant headache, and I need like 20 hours of sleep a day. And I still have

A family in my church parish growing up had a 7 year old diagnosed with brain cancer. I remember my mom telling my dad one night that the family had hit their $1 million insurance cap, had remortgaged their house , and were starting to sell off their belongings. The church rallied around them and conducted bake sales

I used to be my company’s liaison to the US military in Iraq, so I spent a decent amount of time on bases, sitting in briefings about exciting topics such as which nationalities were losing their access to base gyms this week. Boring, but necessary information that contractors needed to have. By God though, the army

Malcolm deserves more stars.

Everyone looked gorgeous in just-post WWII photos. I don’t understand it either, but try not to take it too personally :)

I have both the Telegraph and the Guardian apps on my mobile, and both of them sent me breaking news alerts this morning about....photos of Princess Charlotte. Why, guys?

Don’t get bangs. I get them every few years as well, and within a month, I’m miserable. Then I spend months growing them out, swearing I’ll never do it again. My husband now reminds me if I’m going to the salon specifically not to get bangs because I complained so much last time!

I chopped 8 inches off mine last weekend - no regrets!

Haha, something along those lines ;)

Love the Star Trek reference! I had a childhood crush on Geordi :)

Met my now-husband at work, in an environment where we were actually barred from dating. I have no regrets, because it worked out, but we did both have to leave our jobs, and the period of time before we decided to do so was intense and very stressful. We weren’t the only people who coupled up, and most of the others

I read an article recently that covered some studies done on the impact of having devices like Alexa and Siri around kids - now, these studies were quite small and the technology is new, so we obviously can’t extrapolate too much - BUT the studies had found that kids who had unfettered access to an Alexa were a) much
