Wow, I'm sorry. That is honestly shocking and atrocious. I hope that you have cut ties with that one bride in particular for her ungratefulness. Clearly when she looks at her friends, all she sees it what she can get from them. I've seen registries where $350 is the stretch range, saved for the pots and pans, a…

I agree. It seems like a lot of people poo-poo physical gifts now. That picture frame may not be exactly my taste, but my grandmother got it for me because she really thought I would like it. So I kept it, because the sentimental value was worth a lot more than matching my exact tastes.

Good heavens. You know people who expect $400 gifts?

It's only a betrayal if the giver is likely to find out about it. If not, then regift/resell/donate away. You might want to do it under a pseudonym.

It's probably a lot easier to illustrate clearly with bathroom-sign figures. Who knows? Maybe the "balls" are actually labia and the "penis" is really a dildo.

Yikes, what is that from?

Wow, I didn't even think about it. I took the pain killers in as low a dose as I could manage, tapered off when I felt able, and breastfed away through the whole thing. Never really thought about it that hard, painkillers were a no-brainer. You did have to ask for narcotics at the hospital, though. They didn't give it…

And they'll sing in greatful chorusssss....

If I could write a movie starring myself, I'd write Scarlett Johansson as my make-out partner, too.

I know I looked like that pretty much the entire time, so I wouldn't doubt it....

I think several people have pointed it out already.

I don't think they were blocking photos of breastfeeding so much as blocking photos of totally naked people.

I'm a bit tired of the exhibitionism in general, interesting or not. We used to dread having to go over to that friend's house to see slides of their latest vacation or family party, now it's fed directly to our inbox.

Meh, you can't really win as a parent. People assume I'm smug because I -don't- post pictures of my children.

Only beneficial to your breasts, it dosnt really affect the milk or the baby. The milk ducts are set up in a circle around your nipple. If the baby is inefficient and doesn't empty all the ducts, milk can stagnate and cause a blockage, which is uncomfortable. Not everyone needs to change feeding positions, though, as…

That was my thought. A "teepee" in Hawaii, you say? That's a long way from the Dakotas.

Hey now, don't be so hard on yourself. Herpes does not make you a "whore" or devalue your worth as a person. If you have it, there are treatments, and you will need to be careful not to give it to your other partners, of course, with full disclosure. But anyone worth being with will value you for who you are, anyway,…

Ditto, yikes

I always mean to get to it in the morning, but I never do...
