Got it. Yes, it does make it easier when the schools mandate it. As they get older it’s much more difficult—I can’t exactly poll the 50 kids in her hockey league.

I’m curious, how old are your kids? I have one daughter who is about to turn 9. When she was a baby/toddler, if I knew for a fact that one of my friends wasn’t vaccinating her kids I would take a pass on playdates.

Got it. I just pay per trip, because the unlimiteds do end up losing me money. My express bus in the morning is $6.50—on the way home it’s $2.75 for subway/local bus combo, so that’s $46.25/week. The express bus plus pass is $59 or so. It would totally work for me if I were bouncing around the city on weekends and at…

Mine comes in the form of a credit card that carries my balance and I can only use it for MTA passes. Is that an option for you?

Same for the epidural. It probably lessened the pain but I felt every push for THREE HOURS. It was not pain-free by any stretch.

He did get banned as a host from Airbnb, so that’s something.

I’m not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. :-) But, he was allegedly drunk on the job, and he had priors for aggravated harassment and assault which presumably would have come up in a background check. Both of those point to some culpability to the bar.

This is, of course, horrifying. My question - where are these guys getting these vials of drugd? Is there a market, are they buying them online?

My sprained ankle was because I drank too much wine and stumbled in a pair of wedges. I’ve never been injured by CrossFit since my coach and I know my limits, but I do manage to injure myself on water slides and in heels etc. on a somewhat regular basis. :-P

OH MY GOD ARE YOU ME??? I really thought I was the only one who couldn’t put a bra on right!! But for real, it’s even harder with an athletic bra because I want it to be tight, which makes twisting it around hard and depressing.

Are either of those front clasping? I have never, not since I was a teenager, been able to get my hands behind my back and clip a bra shut. I clip the back clips at my front and then twist the bra around (which is why my bras have a relatively short shelf life). I would love something that clasps in the front so I…

Great to know, I missed your first post. I’m a 38G (ish) and it’s a real bitch to find comfortable sports bras. I do CrossFit (OK, I’m on a break due to a now-healed sprained ankle, but going back soon) and running and jumping jacks are just embarrassing.

He should have, but in the end what he put in was way better than what we were going to do. The old bathroom had those Hollywood-style lights above the mirrored vanity (yuck), and he put a light above the shower and one above the toilet area, controlled by separate switches. Overall, I’m super happy with the work he…

We just gutted our bathroom, and I wish we had chatted with the contractor about his plans for lighting. We never discussed it, but he put two lights up in ceiling. Meanwhile, we had order a custom light fixture for over the vanity that is not returnable, and would be overkill if installed. We’ll try to sell it but it…

I had no idea it closed until I read this. I went once—it was pricey, but I was really impressed that I enjoyed it as much as I did. She really did do raw food very, very well.

Oh my gosh, yes. When I started at my job in May 2008, I didn’t notice that NYC tax wasn’t being taken out of my paycheck. I only realized it when, you guessed it, I went to file my 2008 taxes. I had to cough up a couple grand and it was painful. I had filled out the paperwork correctly but HR made a mistake.

I twice did this for Gov. Abbott of Texas, I hope he appreciated it!

Actually he lost whites by a 12 point margin, compared to Kerry’s 17 point loss among whites in 2004.

Here is the full statement the gym released to Buzzfeed Canada (at the bottom of the article).

They claimed that the tank she was wearing in the picture was not what she had on at the gym. Given that women work out in sports bras, I can’t imagine what it could have been that was so offensive—but at the same time, if the gym is telling the truth, why didn’t she post a photo with what she was really wearing?
