@midwesternmom: That's weird. And the mom gives no reason why she pulled Ruby from school for a year? Like, she just sits there and is like, "Don't worry about it, stop asking."?

@midwesternmom: Disregard. I should have just read the article linked to there.

@midwesternmom: I've never seen the show and all I know about her is what I've read in snippets here and there. I get the idea that she believes something traumatic happened to her in childhood that made her compulsively over-eat but she doesn't know what the event was? Is this the "mystery of her disease" you're…

@kaiwhakamarie: I hadn't really thought of the frustration angle, I suppose, of trying to transition into "real" acting. I was thinking mostly along the lines of, well, you got famous for taking off your clothes, and you're not exactly audition for some Oscar-quality film, so where's the shock coming from that he'd…

I know Jenny McCarthy doesn't mention anything about the script or movie or whatever, but isn't it fairly routine that if a script calls for nudity that the the people or person holding the audition request to see the person naked? I mean, maybe the situation was totally sketchy, I don't know, but it just seems sort…

@RestroomOccupado: BLASPHEMY!

There's no better coffee than Dunks. Fact.

@GrandmaEdie: I hear you. I read that story the other day and then later that day couldn't find my handbag and was like "OH NO THIS IS IT MY BRAIN HAS STARTED TO MELT."

@Penny: Granted, I think people do go overboard in babying pregnant women- carrying a box is probably not going to hurt you or the baby. And sure, there's risks associated with lots of jobs and you do have to do what you have to do to feed yourself and your family. Sometimes, you've got no other choice but to do…

I read her article in Vogue a few months ago and was really just angered by it. It just struck me as so selfish. Once you've decided to carry a pregnancy to term, I believe you've got a responsibility to do the best job you can to keep yourself and that baby safe and healthy, and marching around Afghanistan is…

I got a group invite or page suggestion or something on fb yesterday to join a

No joke, about 2wks ago a childhood friend of mine found out she was 7 1/2 months pregnant. I totally understand how it happened for her: she's extremely obese and has some sort of hormone problem and was not regularly menstruating anyway. Also, she was working on a cruise ship during her first trimester, so chalked…

My wedding cost $-0.37 cents, I made the bridesmaids dresses and my dress out of gently used coffee filters, ate roadkill and served dandelion wine made from dandelions from the same highway median we held the reception on.

I am sick and tired about hearing what a great team cake has. SCREW 'EM!

@stacyinbean: We re-wound and watched that like 5 times. I love that kid.

@oh_desy: I don't know how true this is, but I was told that the highway prostitutes were all Eastern Europeans, that they were war refugees or just desperately poor, which really makes the whole thing sadder. But it might have been, like, "An Italian girl would never stoop so low! It's all that Gypsy trash out…

@Le Coucher d'Yvette: Dude, for real. One of my friends host mother's was totally an escort. Dudes came and went every 45 minutes. The apartment was an L, with the kitchen, living room and daughters' bedrooms in the long part and the reception and her bedroom in the short. We'd be having dinner and a she would…

NAPROXEN. I'm telling you.

I lived outside Bologna for awhile in the late 90's and there were prostitutes lining the highway into the city. It was crazy. I had always pictured hookers, like, come out at night and skulk around alleys and shit (I grew up in the suburbs, all right?), but these women just worked the…
