You never get back to your old self. Not mentally or physically. Sometimes it’s big changes, sometimes more subtle.

Well, I think I speak for everyone when I say that it’s fine if women want to focus on this aspect of La’el Collins’ life. I GET THAT. AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH THAT. But at the end of the day, I’m a football fan, and we want to see great players be great and that’s what I’m concerned with.

When I think of a “real” bun, I think of a coil of hair wound around itself and secured with sticks or pins. The other thing is just a ponytail I couldn’t be arsed to finish. ;)

This. I’ve also had people cut in front of me on the way to the bathroom both when I was pregnant AND when I was flying with my then 5-month old son who was in dire need of a changing.

WHO DOES THAT? I’m not asking for the moon here, just maybe don’t shit on pregnant women and people with small children who are trying…

“Fact: Unless you are a professional paleontologist, any six-year-old child in America can absolutely humiliate you at dinosaur trivia.”
I teach 4th and 5th grade girls science after-school. Truer words have never been spoken, Kelly. I am shamed by my lack of dinosaur knowledge on a daily basis.

I had a similar experience. I was traveling home from business while nearly eight months pregnant. My carry on had some heavy documents in it (that I could not check in), but was not u reasonably heavy, and I wasn’t supposed to be lifting much. I upgraded myself to first class on American Airlines, and politely asked…

This exact thing happened to me! It was just before the third trimester so I was obviously pregnant and I’m 5’ 1” so even not pregnant it’s tough and NO ONE would help me. I was on US Air and the flight attendant literally told me I had to do it myself, I think she said for liability reasons but I wasn’t listening…

And don’t forget!

WTF is wrong with people??? I’m 4’11” and I would have figured out a way to help you! Or at the very least, shamed someone taller than I am into helping you. I do this sometimes on the subway, when I’m standing and someone clearly pregnant or very old or someone with small babies comes on the train and no one offers a…

Find a reason to fly through/to Portland. They opened a Burgerville in the terminal. Healthy(ish), local fast food...yum.

Flying on a plane with your period is just irresponsible. You want to attract flying bears? Because that’s how you attract flying bears.

It’s cool, you can join our group. We’re the World’s Okayest Moms- and we’ve got the mugs to prove it. (sorry that the picture is giant and fuzzy) Here’s your welcome bouquet.

This is gross on all the levels.

Well, it is something that would make many people on the spectrum profoundly uncomfortable so...

I have literally no sympathy whatsoever for Canada Geese. If someone wants to, to pick a completely random example off the top of my head, hit one with a javelin, I'm totally OK with that.

One of my proudest moments was when I hit a Canada goose with a javelin in high school. Those assholes had been shitting all over our sports fields for decades, and the town couldn't do anything about it because they were classified as migratory water fowl even though they failed to migrate and just shat in our…
