I appreciate the attempt at the MJ fake chin and the tattooed under-eyeliner, Joseph Fiennes’ nose is waaaaay too long to pull this one off. I love how the contouring artist was just like “awww, fuckit!” when he/she got to the middle neck.

Hear, hear. Joseph’s eyes are set too close together, and his brow ridge is too heavy. Now, Ralph? Hey, daddy.

Samesies. Every single time.

Exactly this. “Blah blah she’s so old blah so selfish blah blah”... Ah, shove it. She has a metric fuckton of money and this is the time in her life where she has someone she loves enough to have a baby with - or a baby just for herself? You rock that infant, girl. Literally.

I ate all of that stuff, and had maybe 1 beer/1 glass of wine every 2-3 weeks during both pregnancies (19 and 23 years ago). Back then, there were very little warnings outside of smoking and alcohol consumption; I never heard anything about soft cheese, lunchmeat, etc. My eldest girl was 10.5lbs at birth and hit 6'…

Jesus fuck.

My friend has two boys, and had them a year apart. She’s a non-profit, hair-perfect, pillar-of-the-community type who was a sepia/filter babe many years before it was overdone. The best part of the year is getting her holiday cards where it’s always only the two boys either having a full-assed meltdown (cue the snot…

My mom’s side is roundabout related to Rebecca Nurse via her English ship captain’s second wife (who was also the 2nd cousin of Sir Francis Drake). We are related to Mary Johnson, who was a Connecticut witch (whipped and a three years later executed), and also Nathaniel Hawthorne (descended from Judge John Hathorne…

If my body looked like that I’d wear it for more than just a day just because I could. Luckily for all of you, it doesn’t.

I miscarried last year during Mother’s Day week. We’re mid-40s so no rainbow babies for us, but you make a great point about the holidays. I am inundated with the “Baby’s First Christmas” posts EVERYWHERE and it just sucks all of the joy out of the celebrating - at least for a brief moment. Hugs to you and wishing you…

NORMAL. I’ve been in therapy, too. Tried natural mood enhancers. Not working for me, either. I think that we have to power through until it diminishes enough to be around normal baby sightings/convos. I’m with you.

Yup. My miscarriage bump buddy (we lost both our pregnancies during the same week last year) is due in the spring, and I went to her place this weekend and it was COMPLETELY OVERRUN with babies & toddlers. We’ll never have a rainbow baby because we’re old as shit, so Mr.TARDIS and I couldn’t run out of there fast…

Hot and humid. Sooooo not into holiday celebrating when you’re sweating in a tank top. :(

And Jermaine Stewart, Gerald Levert, Ready for the World, Atlantic Starr, Bobby Caldwell, Luther Vandross, Cameo, Gregory Abbott, Boz Scaggs... my kids totally hate going anywhere in my car.

The one has some adorably curly hair, but yeah. Eh. Small kids. Whoop.

I have this on my iPod and listen to it probably once a week. I am absolutely not ashamed to admit this whatsoever.

Not in my scenario, he’s DEFINITELY not.

Ooooh - will look into that one!
