I’ve read that in France routine aftercare to a pregnancy is therapy for your pelvic areas. You get visits from specialists who can evaluate your condition, and prescribe treatments and exercises and work with you to get back in shape. The goal is both continence and restored sexual pleasure.

I lived in Germany in the late 1980’s and parked in the “Frauen” areas a few times. They only existed in large public lots or garages, and it seems to me that they amounted to nowhere near a third of the spaces available, I’d have guessed about 10%. Perhaps the rules have changed since then. I did appreciate them,…

I was born in 1950 and just about every girl in my Catholic elementary school class had the middle name Marie. Among Catholics it’s been going on a long time.

Locks rust away. Just try living at the beach and see how quickly metals decompose. And bridges all over the world are suffering the same. The Brooklyn bridge was full of them. People are so trite.

You have to watch the show. The neighbor wanted her out so he could expand his business. He broke in and used the apartment all summer long, trashing the place. The baby shower decorations were just evidence that it was him or his pregnant wife who used the place and not some random burgler.

It’s Prince Edward Island. Up there, McDonald has Lobster rolls.

Probably bought at Hobby Lobby. They are full of that kind of dreck.

I doubt Canada would take him.

Why covered “girls”? Why not be inclusive and have covered persons day. Boys can wear turbans or skullcaps.

Isn't it about time they drop the "von?" Austria officially dropped that from names in 1919.

Perfect list. I share your aversion to peanut butter cookies. Peanut butter is for sandwiches, not for cake or cookies. Though my dad was rabidly in the other camp.

Why didn't they publish a digital version? Dead tree books are so 20th Century.

I think it depends a great deal on the family. I never married, but I am among the oldest of my generation. If I had married at the usual time, there would not have been a lot of kids around. I would have chosen an adult wedding so that my mostly unwed siblings, cousins and friends could have partied heartily into…

MLM essential oil scams seem to be the latest fad among fundamentalists. The women need home-based businesses to help support their progeny, since they're not allowed out in the world.

He probably did give them to his wife.

Yuck! Duke's tastes pasty.

Shelters are not all the same. I took my last cat to one when she was old and incontinent. They took us to a private room and I held her while they gave her an injection and I was allowed to stay with her as long as I wanted afterward. They were very kind and caring.

Yeah. Another article said he got $32 for 20 lb of brass in one trip to the recycle center. It must have been $36 - $40 per trip, not per piece.

Except that here, mother does practically nothing. She hands the babies off to her daughters to raise as soon as they are weaned.
