Currently pregnant. I don’t live in a remote place. But yeah, drive me to the hospital, hook me up to ALL the machines and epidural this up.

Maybe they’re dating not because they’re celebrities interested in dating another celebrity of equal celebrity status but because they are two humans who met while doing charity work and fell in love? Or I’m a sucker.

What should happen? A major hospital in every small town, staffed by nurses and OBs who are forced to practice there?

I hallucinated that I was in an ice cream parlor

“...in one case the military blocked a rescue site where a backhoe plowed through rubble where people might have still been trapped.”

The authorities are turning down volunteers because it is too difficult to coordinate them. During the first days after the earthquake I volunteered removing ruble from a collapsed apartment building few miles from where I live, after Marines trained in search and rescue operations arrived to the site a few hours…

I’d agree. While Oprah’s sometimes a bit too much into some of the woo woo stuff for my taste, I think it’s mostly more on the touchy feely emotional side of things, not the complete bullshit crap side of things. And my impression of the shopping lists of products that are promoted is that they are openly presented…

Yah- so here is the article on Gwyneth wanting to go to Flint, but I’ve spent ten minutes looking for the article on crystals helping to heal the pain of miscarriage, and I have friends coming over in 30 minutes, so... I swear I read it, but it’s not on LaineyGossip or Celebitchy...

I’m sure a psychic vampire is supposed to be someone who drains your mental energy or something like that, but I really want it to be a literal psychic vampire, and you have to spray the repellent without thinking about spraying the repellent, because the psychic vampires would know!

I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I can’t help feeling that she should be wearing a straw boater and a stripey waistcoat peddling Paltrow’s cure all wellness elixer. Buy two bottles and receive a free vaginal egg!

No, no, no. That’s not how it works, Stassa. You were supposed to read every page of Goop Magazine so the rest of us don’t have to.

“this advice column unfortunately is not aimed at destroying lives.”

You sure about that?

Fading sex drive as we age is a thing for many of us. Post menopause, I still like sex- but I’m not insane about it, or mistaking great drive by sex for loooove. Sex as a couple also goes through hills of more peak desire- and troughs of couldn’t care less right now.

“But my relationships with great sex had other issues that made me straight up batshit—cheating, them being super dependent”

I was getting sick for years. Doctors couldn’t help. I turned to alternative medicine, as one does when desperate and losing everything that matters. It didn’t make sense but I had money and thought the worst is it won’t work. I spent a ton, went everywhere, tried all the recommendations. Came away in the same shape,…

This is a magazine largely for women who are so privileged that they have to invent problems in their heads, for which Goop conveniently provides both the inspiration and cure.

I’m not sure I agree (I’m still formulating my thoughts), but this just seemed like a great place to post this David Lodge quote: “Literature is mostly about having sex and not much about having children. Life is the other way round.” 

You can only be a perfectionist if you think, erroneously, that there’s a finish line in life.

Yeah, I remember the first time I went in 2003, the military base had just closed, which was one of the issues depressing the local economy. Once the military left, their $$$ for goods and services left too. Also, you’re totally right- you couldn’t go there because of the fear that there were still live explosives in…

J P-S’s statement sounds like something the worst Unitarian Universalist in the world might say.
