I’m surprised at how old some of these women are. Isn’t Roxy Hart supposed to be an ingenue? (I’ve only seen the movie.) Does Broadway work the opposite of Hollywood?

Remember in one of the later Little House books, where Laura makes the “pie plant” pie for the workers and they all choke it down politely, and she realizes afterwards that she forgot to put the sugar in? Pie plant=rhubarb.

Hey, now I have a new phrase for sexual fantasies... “Mereen scenes.”

Thanks - I knew this story sounded familiar! Laura Lippmann is a great writer (and married to David Simon, of Homicide and The Wire, btw).

Mine is going to say “just five more minutes...”

It could be called “Dude, Where’s My Burrito?” which would of course be first uttered by the woman in the car (lols from audience), but later used as a loving expression by the couple (aws from audience).

Agreed. Kit Harington is a beautiful man but Jon Snow manages to cover it up with gloomy drama-boy and can’t-quite-grow-a-beard-in-nicely-ness.

I’ve known my husband for 10 years and have never seen his actual chin (except in pictures). I... can’t imagine how I would feel if he shaved his beard.

When I try to picture either Bradley Cooper or the guy who plays Desi on Girls, I see a man with short, dense hair that grows all over his entire head. Like a yeti.

Yeah, and yet the writer couldn’t even describe Ruby Rose as an actor (gender-neutral term), instead of an actress. I mean, this book has only been out for 25 years so I guess it’s understandable that a major feminist news site wouldn’t have a copy?

I was a very happy diaphragm user for several years, in the early 2000s. When I went to my doctor to get it fitted she didn’t even know how and another doc at the practice had to come in and demonstrate the fitting. I stopped using it when my now-husband, then-boyfriend, complained that he could feel it during sex. (I…

Yeah, I’m sure it had degraded. You're supposed to check them regularly for that.

FAM and NFP are not the same thing - the former is much more reliable because it only uses data that you gather within the current cycle to determine when you are fertile/infertile. NFP is more similar to the “rhythm method” in that it relies too heavily on the assumption that your cycles are always going to be the…

It’s completely normal to be able to touch your cervix. In fact, its position, degree of firmness, and degree of openness can be used, either in conjunction with your basal body temperature, or without, to determine if you are in a fertile or infertile phase of your cycle. Google “Fertility Awareness Method” if you…

Soon enough there will be a Prepon-derance of evidence to support the rumors.

They may not “need” to have them in the literal sense (the farmhands example), but there is a lot of cultural and religious pressure to have multiple children that stems from a past where it wasn’t uncommon to lose multiple children to accident or disease. Now that we’ve solved that problem (in developed parts of the…

ITA. More people should have the attitude that we reproduce to experience parenthood, as opposed to making more human beings. One is enough!
