Oh he's so cute. I want to hug him! I love orange cats.

Thanks for writing this. I relate. I have a medical reason, too, but even without that I think I'd be on the no kids side of the fence. I have a bit of optimism things CAN get better (I watch a lot of Star Trek), but I don't think that's going to happen fast. Probably after 2100.

I've known people personally (I don't want to get too detailed for the privacy of individuals) who weren't told they were adopted. I know there are people who won't want to know all the details (whether they are donor babies or adopted). But people who were never even told growing up they were a donor baby or adopted?…

I think we need some Universal Laws like in Star Trek, then! I don't like anonymous baby creating. I realize it might not bother some as much as others. But I feel for those who grow up and want to know more about who they are. With 23andMe and genetics such a growing field, you'll eventually find out! (There are kids…

It's such a blast trying to get your 'sealed' records. So frustrating. I'm on the side of the kids/adoptees. Their right is to know WHO they are.

I see no shame in it...but what about parents in flyover country where there are no jobs and in dying towns? I'd have liked to stay with mine longer, but that just wasn't possible. Student loans really hurt in this situation!

Handsome!

Where is my photo!

This means I HAVE DIBS ON JAMES MCAVOY. Wait, we're both hitched. But we could still have dinner parties. And couple outings. And one could stare just a tad too long without being terribly weird. Right?

I came here to freak out about this. She was always so outspoken about not having baby rabies. So she's not knocked up. These tabloids drive me insane.

I'm plenty tall enough I need 'tall' and I buy a big chunk of my stuff online at Old Navy and Gap ($50 = free shipping) and they are good with returns in the store for 90% of the stuff. Everything feels SHORTER than it did 10 years ago in the stores…I'm always tugging. And the shoulders are narrower. I hope they don't…

Anyone remember these strange, yet delicious, Carnation Breakfast Bars? I lived on them in high school. I even liked the 'kinda grainy' taste a lot.

Becca loose finishing powder being discontinued. It was perfect texture and color wise. Why do they DO this to me! Bisque was the best color for me. Nothing else works as well.

Hyacinth is a hoot. I love flower names. I named my old car Petunia, I hated to let her go I loved the name so much. New one is Poppy. I can't have kids. So car names it is.

There are so few C-Level positions (and even high level VP positions) per company, I'm thinking they role the dice figuring they'll be a lucky fast-tracked exec? I'm a bit confused, too, because only so many people can reach the highest levels in a company, but they are saying all these people should freeze away so…

Isn't Kate Hudson engaged to Matthew Bellamy? I was quite a fan of his until he fell onto the Kate Hudson train.

I am mortified when I see people out in pajama bottoms who clearly aren't dying of the flu or anything. Respect me! Put on real pants! Things cannot be unseen! I also cringe at shorts so short they look painful and likely to give one a chafe. I'm also basically 2 rungs from my Grandmother.

I could lick this stuff. Almost. Maybe. But it's so creamy and delicious.

Actually it could be part of it. My 23andMe says my genome may be more adaptable to the cold. And I prefer the cold.

I'll dress up for this.
