My husband had never heard of it. I was as shocked as he was when he found out I had never seen any of the Star Wars films.

Me too!

file a post-nup IMMEDIATELY

Joshua Jackson and
Diane Kruger breaking up?? My heart says no, but my vagina says yes.

By “Holiday” do you mean the Good Friday when I hooked up with super hot Alex? Or the Easter Sunday when I met him at the family brunch and learned he was my dad’s half-sister’s son?

I just wrote the same thing. If some woman got my good embryo, I'd basically kill someone.

Holy crap, as someone who has struggled with infertility for the past four years and done numerous cycles of IVF, this would be an utter nightmare on both sides. In my case, I do not produce a ton of eggs and every healthy embryo is a small miracle to me. I can’t imagine if the clinic gave it to the wrong person. I…

It sounds more to me that they don’t want someone else to have their baby, not that they don’t want their baby.

Disliking popular things doesn’t make you more interesting.

I was a little put off by this article too, but I’m more familiar with his conservation work than his fashion stuff. I knew he’d founded TNF and Esprit and that definitely allowed him to do the work he did, but the man’s main love (from what I could tell) was conservation and the outdoors. He and his wife, Kris, were…

I got in a solid 30 seconds of “well helooooo, Tarzan” before the horrible niggling part of me wondered where Tarzan gets trousers.

Any man in only a shirt is awful.

I remember first learning about the Holocaust when I was somewhere around 7 or 8, I would guess. It was presented in the highly simplified way most things are presented to kids: Nazis were Bad People who did Very Bad Things to Jews, who were mostly Good People, just because they were Jews. Jews who tried to fight…

I was going to mention that one but I couldn't remember how many cigarettes it had.

what do you do for contraception if you don’t know what you want?

These discussions are always so focused on ourselves. Pregnancy by definition involves multiple people (a partner in reproduction who also consents to becoming a parent, a future child). Creating a whole new human being shouldn’t be a matter of “whoops”, and there’s no reason to be nostalgic about a time when it more…

Chanukah: Come for the so-so presents, stay for the immaculate wi-fi connection.

This is an essential point. Know who you’re working with! I’m newly pregnant from IVF (with my eggs) and while it was a extremely long, difficult, and expensive process, it came from an incredible medical team. They never promised me what they couldn’t provide and were always realistic about my odds. And were always…

Yes. Some donate to friends or family and don’t get paid. I got paid thousands of dollars. And I’m lucky enough to be in contact with one family and they are really really happy and that makes me happy.

I’m an egg donor and I’ve done a ton of research on this topic. I think full disclosure is absolutely important, and just like any business, you must do your due diligence on the company you’re working with. There are plenty of unethical people who will snow you. I worked with an amazing agency who was very…
