@this_charming_one: I'm tremendously annoyed by people that think getting out of jury duty is the best thing ever, but that's whole 'nother story.

@Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: Or buy cosmetics in Europe. Errryuck.
I've got the evening news on right now, and the newscaster is about to cry while reading the Shaniya Davis story. I've never seen that before. She keeps pausing and her voice is shaking.
Wow, this is timely. Yesterday I had my annual girly-bits check-up and my doctor told me that now that I'm (6mths shy of) 30, I'd only need to do it every 3 years from now on. I was sort of confused, because I thought that the older you get the greater the chance of things going wrong, but my doctor said that the…
@TheLemon: That was one of the worst books I've ever read.
@FrannyR: YES! This is also my dream.
@Rose.Selavy.Needs.A.Drink: I second that. Three cheers for Susan Sto Helit as well. #feministbooks
Only 1000 births worldwide? That can't be right. There's been at least a thousand births, plus subsequent murders, plus subsequent twists (they were the receptionists eggs!) on Law and Order SVU alone. #eggfreezing
@CrispinManiac: (and @everyone else who pointed out my reading comp. fail): Aha, yes I did read that wrong. Though for a second I thought I had the answer to stopping the rape epidemic: just find rapists some effing hobbies, already. #rape
How does someone even have time to attempt 400 rapes? I mean, it's totally beside the point, but my God, that's got to be all you do all day. #rape
@DinosaurDanceParty: I'm think it's actually illegal to NOT serve a pregnant woman. Which makes me wonder, if a bar/restaurant can be sued if they serve someone who then gets in a crash on their way home, is there legal protection for a bar that a woman can't come back after being served while pregnant and sue them…
@Susan B.: It's recommended. In fact, keg stands in the 2nd trimester give children an excellent sense of balance. #pregnancy
I don't think it's paternalism or lack of trust that makes health organizations say not to drink. I think it's fear of being sued, and frankly, not wanting to listen to everyone's bullshit. If the CDC says, sure, go ahead and have a few glasses of wine, you just KNOW there's going to be a parade of woman with FAS…
@morninggloria: Sign me up for that. I would watch the shit out of that show. #kimoraleesimmonsamericasnextto...
My mom can top all your baby poop explosion stories with her Elderly Nun in Support Hose-and-Wimple Poop Explosion in Sears story. #poopexplosion
This Brad-Jen-Angelina thing is never. going. to. END. When Jen and Angelina are 94 years old, these magazine will still have them on the cover, like, "Angie steals the tennis balls of Jen's Walker!" "Jen hires away Angie's night nurse!" "Brad brings horrible strawberry candies to Jen- is a reconciliation in the…
@SparklyTempest: I'm one of four, and when my mother mentioned to my brother's kindegarten teacher she was expecting number 4, the woman actually asked her if she knew there was such a thing as contraceptives. My mom was, yes, but you can't have a bunch of kids if you take them...which is, believe it or not, what my…
@Oryx Hearts Crake: Lord, if only that were possible. I'd get a little backpack for him and send him to the fish market like the penguin in Japan. #angelinajolie
I find it hard to believe that Brad is "fed up" with all the children or whatever the magazines keep going on about. Every actual interview I've seen or read he's said they plan to add more. I think I heard "our own soccer team" tossed out once or twice. What is the big obsession with him not wanting anymore kids? …
