I’m torn about this, because I like the idea of normalizing IVF by placing it within the context of other stories about pregnancy and birth. See “While We’re Young” as a great example of this (although I did take issue w the end of the film but that’s not relevant here). As you say, IVF is increasingly common and it…

Please, I read The Mists of Avalon, I don’t need this “scientific” “proof”

OMG, the thing about Julia and Kristina’s hair is so spot-on. Julia's hair drove me CRAZY.

When Rory is at her lowest point Jess appears and they have uninhibited, nihilistic sex.

I can't think about Kirk without picturing the time he had his shirt off, and that is Not Okay.

Yeah, Jay was definitely offered a deal by the police (both the pleading guilty to a lesser crime and also something about them threatening him with a drug trafficking charge if he didn’t cooperate, IIRC) and that included being fed information to make it look credible. I agree Don is super-shady, and like in the…

Not sure how Denise Richards can claim she didn’t get a heads-up about the announcement when basically the entire world knew what he was going to announce a couple of days before.

Whenever I see Ken Kratz I think about how much he looks like this bird. That is all.

That’s a gross overgeneralization. There are many people who are receiving all the treatment they can and for whom MS is destroying their lives.

Texas is a large and powerful enough textbook market that publishers issue different editions just for use in that state—the changes they require don’t usually get included in the regular editions used elsewhere in the country.

People who play Neko Atsume in English = people who watch Miyazaki films dubbed in English. So much of the charm of the original is lost, IMO.

I think I liked London the best. I think it was the first season I watched as it aired. (I remember the first season being on the summer after I graduated from high school but I didn’t have cable so only caught an episode here and there of the first 3 seasons.) San Francisco was great. They were all good until the…

These suits are cute for posing, but they don’t look comfortable or wearable at all. Cleavage sweat and indigestion from such a high tight waistband, no thanks!

She looks like a Vegas lounge lizard - I kind of love it although that probably wasn’t the look she was going for.

The pattern is WAY too Falcon Crest. It needs shoulder pads.

Based on my experience living with a man whom I see often in just his underwear, sometimes a little post-pee wiping wouldn’t go completely amiss...

Just, like, “why do you need to wipe after peeing?” I mean, this guy definitely knew his way around belowdecks, IIRC, and I was like, “Really, I need to explain the mechanics of this? You don’t see that pee can’t possibly be coming out of a protuberance that can just be shaken off?”

Interestingly, this guy had been brought up in a devoutly Baptist household. (The aforementioned sister got pregnant at 19, and I just found out through FB snooping that she’s now a fucking GRANDMOTHER at like 35. So, yeah, thumbs up all around.)

I once dated a guy who, despite having a mother and a sister, and having had previous relationships, didn’t know that women use toilet paper after they pee.

HANDRAIL IS A FAMILY NAME, THANK YOU VERY MUCH
