I’m originally from the Western Philly burbs too!

.....This didn’t happen to you at Exton Mall in Chester County, PA, did it?

That makes me feel better. I have always worn a medium at Gap, and I haven’t gained any weight. And yet, I now have to buy a large in most Gap items. I noticed the same thing at Express as well. I’m not fussed about the bigger size, but I was really confused about what might be going on with my body!

I’m not sure how to answer that. I believe she deserved prison time, and I’m not sorry she had to serve seven years, though I was supportive of attempts to improve her conditions and treat her as a female prisoner as she deserves. I’m not going to scream for her to stay in prison, though I’m going to wince at the…

Exactly! She did the technological equivalent of throwing an enormous temper tantrum and tossing a bunch of papers in the air whilst stomping her feet.

Like I said, I never saw any evidence that she released anything for patriotic reasons. This wasn’t a case of “she came across something horrific and knew she had to do something” - she released thousands and thousands of documents without having a clue what was in most of them. Did some of those documents reveal the…

Agreed. She deserved fair and humane treatment while in prison. But she deserved prison. She is no hero, and I’ve never seen any compelling evidence that she released the information that she did for any reasons intended to actually benefit the American people.

That is a bizarre yet fascinating little addition to this story.

Haha, noted, will give the baby a few days before I made a judgment call!

I would not have anticipated that I’d love a red latex baby doll dress. And yet, here we are, in adoration.

BMI is funny - I had my first midwife appointment this morning, and she asked how much I weighed. I told her, she calculated the BMI, then looked back over at me and frowned, because she didn’t believe I was 20 pounds overweight (I wear an 8/10 at 5'6 - I could stand to drop a few, but you’d probably never look at me…

Wow, that is a pretty significant change in a short order of time. He does not look well or in full posession of all his facilities in the second photo.

Saturday night social has been coming on too late for me to participate the past two weeks, but every Sunday morning I have scrolled through all the responses hoping you’d pop up with a positive update! I’ve been praying for your little girl (beautiful name, by the way) and your family everyday. Lots of Hail Mary’s!…

Good God, that is...awful. I’m so sorry for your loss, and that our country’s policies made it so. Health care is a basic goddamn human right.

Hahaha. I literally said to my husband tonight, “I swear to God, this kid better be fucking spectacular, because I am not going through all this for a mediocre baby.”

Having worn real bullet proof vests, I can tell you they do appalling things to one’s boobs! :p

Me too! Early 30s here, but Catholic school - nuns frowned on left handed writing.

I’m only 9 weeks and I haven’t been functional since 5.5 weeks. Who talked us into this shit anyway??

I can’t get plantains in rural England - what would happen if I, say, used a banana for this instead?

Don’t drag dogs into this! Our canine pals should never be compared to Republicans!
