Tubals are reversable as well.

Seriously. I realize a tubal is much more invasive and complicated, but I bet none of these doctors performing “brosectomies” refused some men as patients since they might change their mind later.

There’s very definitely gender bias (justified, in many cases), but I think a lot of us have just almost always had OB/GYNs who were women and that creates a natural preference. The one time I had a male OB/GYN, who happened to be a great doctor, a woman (nurse) had to be in the room as well, and frankly the less…

OMG Happy Joe’s! I’m originally from Davenport and it was a go-to....as kids, we loved going and being able to watch the pizza makers in action through the window, and getting a free sundae (with a serenade!) on our birthdays. I still try to get Happy Joe’s for delivery whenever I’m in Cedar Rapids to visit family…

I’m a minor character in a story in Chicken Soup for the Jewish Soul, so I’ll always have some nostalgia around the books....even though I haven’t ever read an entire edition!

I only have to give two weeks when I’m quitting completely (and really, don’t even have to give that, unless I want to be a total jerk). Most women start sharing their pregnancy news in the 2nd trimester. Even if they waited until halfway through the pregnancy, that still gives the employer 20 weeks to figure out how…

Lilith Fair didn’t exclude men from the audience, however, which is what this seems to be trying to accomplish.

Yep, that’s been handled :-)

You know, that makes SO MUCH SENSE. Kiddo has taken my contact solution before and, while I don’t really pay attention, I bet it’s when she’s done that that the slime doesn’t come out right. It didn’t occur to me that multi-purpose wouldn’t work right because that’s all I’ve bought for years!

LOL yes, I drank the entire quarter bottle. I was starting to clean up and I never dump water down the sink, I drink it and then recycle or whatever. As soon as I said “this tastes funny,” I noticed my daughter (she’s 9) looking at me in horror and then she said, “MOM, that was BORAX!”

I’m happy to hear there is a whole book for Borax-free slime recipes! I had to call poison control over the weekend because my slime-making child had left a plastic water bottle of water/Borax solution a quarter full and I drank it. :-/

Thank you for posting this! I saw In Transit a few months ago, and while the show itself didn’t get great reviews, the actors did. He’s really talented and will no doubt be working stage for along time to come.

I don’t care for them myself (they’re just OK for me), but I do think it was clever spelling—if they’d just stuck with Churches no one would ever find them online. :-)

I just went down a “Tehran street fashion” rabbit hole and ended up on the Tehran Times blog after looking at some Google images. For shoes I noticed mostly flats, sneakers, and a few short chunky heels, but nothing like the high stilletos & wedges I see a lot of in NYC. Is it just a style difference, or for practical…

You could be a rebel and post RECIPES, not a 4,00o word essay about how you were feeding your chickens and enjoying some light jazz music with a fruity chardonnay when you were inspired to use your Instant Pot for Recipe X, then post each ingredient as a picture separately with a corresponding paragraph about said…

She IS a citizen.

He’ll just get the soup from Ted Cruz, then.

Thanks for the heads-up...I have wanted to upgrade my Gen 1 Kindle for a while (don’t even know where it is at the moment). I read a TON on the Kindle app on my phone but my old eyes are increasingly unhappy. Just placed my order for the Paperwhite, great deal!

I moved from Chicago to NYC for my now-husband. I was coming off a divorce and didn’t want to rush into living together. Had a roommate who actually lived in Philly so she went back there every weekend, giving me the place to myself most of the time which was fantastic. I did move in six months later when his roommate…

I 100% agree with you—teachers are not stand-ins for child care providers. However, families with a single head of household or even two working parents play an intricate game of “who is watching the kid(s) while we’re working” between vacations, summers, in-service days, snow days, and half-days, and an unplanned…
