I think people are being intentionally obtuse. I am 30 years old and when I was in school, problems were worth multiple points and one was able to get partial credit for the correct thought process, even if the answer at the end was not correct. I think all of these people who are insisting that math is objective…

But time is also money, right? So if you are buying dried bulk rice and beans, which would be the cheapest possible option. You also need the time to cook those things.

Wait... that's what they were doing? I read the whole thing and was like... is Pinkham black? How is this relevant?

I think they do normally. All of the things you cited can be issues, as well as the baby just getting stuck if it can't fit through the pelvis. This woman also opted for an all-natural birth, so I would imagine that she wanted to try for a vaginal delivery first. It hurts just thinking about it.

Me too, me too. I was like... hold up, how old is she??

I read this article a while ago, and just reread it now. I feel a lot of sympathy for the Niveen. She certainly made mistakes (leaving him alone, certainly, and also the kidnapping plot), but throughout the whole thing she seems so so desperate. So I am just wondering why you didn't feel any sympathy towards her?

So I totally agree about tops. I have a bunch of sports bras and tops from Target. Pants however... Have several Champion from Target, got Nike and Adidas and Under Armour. Bought one pair from Lululemon on sale and they are significantly better than all of the others (don't ride down, don't stretch out). They go…

I read Any Rand in high school over a summer and thought it was satire- like Animal Farm. I was really taken aback when I realized that she was serious.

They've lost a lot of pain/temperature and taste receptors by the time they're that old. It's not really their fault. ;)

All of this yes.

I'm a Batesie too! I never felt like the hard alcohol policy was that strictly enforced except for parties that were taking place in more public spaces. I will say that Bates' fairly permissible drinking policy made it feel safer to me. I knew a couple kids over the years that needed to go to the hospital, and we…

I work in prenatal and my oldest patient ever was 47. Pregnant with TWINS via IVF and she was single. Apparently got tired of waiting around for the right guy to come around and decided to take matters into her own hands. Hopefully she has a lot of family/friend support bc I can't imagine twins at my age (30) let…

At first I thought you were eating a burger on the El.... (Hi neighbor!)

When I was reading, I could see the white out of the corner of my eye and thought.. oh, she's wearing a big hat! And then I was momentarily startled to see you had no face! Oh, photoshop.

So your point is that he shouldn't have said anything at all because natural family planning isn't perfect?

Ugh. Except have you heard of the crazy contingent that believe that this pope is the anti-christ brought to lead the church astray? I feel like those people are going to use this as more ammo. Ridiculous.

This is the law in Illinois as well (per the lawyer we used for the pre-nup).

I had a couple bridesmaids and the thing that I liked most about it was that they were physically THERE. With me. For the part of the day leading up to the wedding. I had my best friends there to talk to and hang out with while we were getting ready. And they helped me when I needed it, and at the time I thought it…

I am struggling with this right now. My mom is a compulsive liar. She was never emotionally or physically abusive to me, but she certainly does her fair share of gas lighting. She would take my allowance (from my grandparents) and spend it on... who knows? Said she ALWAYS paid me back. Let psychotic drug dealers…

Why does this gif make me sing Taylor Swift?
