In her defense, when my oldest was that age, whenever I'd to a (clothed) headstand he'd crawl over to me, pull my shirt down and start nursing. He basically nursed constantly, no matter what I was doing.

Worst. Party. Ever.

My friend made this video! Cool to see it here.

Aww, the same thing happened when my dad finally got rid of the 70's porno 'stache (which lasted well into the 80's)! Though getting smooches was much less tickly after.

My parents took me to demonstrations with some frequency when I was a kid, and by 11, I was going to them on my own (with other adult supervision, but going because I was passionate myself). Yes, I learned to use my youth and size to disarm the opposition, but I never, ever felt like a prop. I was taught about civil…

Best part of having an Indian wedding*: you can and do totally wear your wedding saris/gagra choli again. Also, saris will fit forever.

Your anecdote reminded me of something I'd completely forgotten - my mother was obsessed with keeping me under 100 lbs as long as possible in the hopes of delaying puberty so that I might have a better shot at getting taller... It didn't really seem to work; I got my period at 13 and am 5 ft 2, just like she is (and…

Ha! I actually had the opposite experience, where I boy I was sort of friends with in middle and high school apologized for all of the times he was so awful to me (he was my last-minute date to my middle-school prom and was late to pick me up and didn't hang out after! This was the only offense I actually…

Word. Just like the weird stalky kid in high school who said he'd been in love with you since kindergarten and showed up in the middle of the night and that dude from the awkward threesome you bailed on midway through cause you really only wanted to fuck his friend*... Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

Sigh... there's no way my teeny boobeez could manage this feat. No condoms for me, I guess..

The music throughout was friggin perfect. This is awesome.

And this was the comment that broke the camel's back:

She mostly wears it braided, but yeah I think it would drive me batty too!

Wow. When zzyzzxs says s/he is gonna dismiss all my comments without reading them, s/he means it! For the record, this was my last "offensive" comment, regarding the accusation that I'd gotten all stalky and personal:

My first instinct was to say, "I should just hit 'dismiss' cause screw this person!" but I thought I'd rather clear the air:

Dude meeeeeeeee. Despite the fact that my husband actually prefers older women (so while we're the same age, I get more hawt points with every new wrinkle) I have an irrational fear of this. It's not fair that my sexual cachet diminishes with each passing year, while his stays the same or even increases! I'm not…

I'll shut up now—I've spent most of my morning on this thread, ha. 4 minutes ago

I wouldn't take it personally. I think the OP put forth an opinion that was immediately met with a lot of negative attention and/or offended a lot of people, felt attacked, and just started deleting all comments after a certain point because he/she neither wanted to change his/her original position nor continue…

I'm not totally up on Kinja, but you can "dismiss" a comment someone has made to you (ostensibly to weed out abusive comments?).. There's a little x in the upper right-hand corner that precedes the star and the reply button, but only in comments that are replies to you. I've never used it, but I'm pretty sure that's…

She's pretty into her hair - she's got this yogi-elf princess thang going, and gives her a level of local celebrity that she admits enjoying. Strangers are always commenting on her hair, taking pictures, etc. A photographer once asked if he could feature her in a (totally legit!) magazine spread he was doing. It…
