This measures a lot of day-to-day stresses, but I'd think any composite for "high stress" state would have to look at frequency of major stressful life events (like on the Holmes and Rahe stress scale) . . .like rates of (1) divorce/marriage (2) incarceration (3) bankruptcy/losing ones home. Florida may still make the…

Since many people from South America and the Caribbean are from a mixed Spanish/European, Indigenous, and African descent, so the real meaning of "Hispanic" versus "Latin@" versus "Chinc@" is hard to parse, but loosely, yes, can mean anything that has a historical or ancestorial relationships to Spain.

Did anyone watch "The Family Crews" reality series starring Terry? I had no idea who he was at the time, but I found him super endearing and watched a few episodes. There was an episode where he dropped his four year off at pre-school for the first time . . .MISTY EYES.

That shoe is so ugly. And I'm sure a million people took a million hours to animate it.

Thanks for this!

I'm pregnant and almost cried while reading this story (so moved, yes) but i can wholeheartedly agree that slimy red newborns are not super cute (so squee, no). And toddlers are the best! I also kind of want to skip the newborn part and get to the chubby saying-stuff and clumsily running bits of toddlers.

classic!

Don't be surprised if you try to explain why you're thinking of leaving (via talking or calm, well-edited email) and you get blamed for everything instead. A narcissist cannot take criticism, so working out your problems (what problems? we have problems? I have problems? NO YOU HAVE ALL THE PROBLEMS) is a noble but…

You think someone kissing their boyfriend in a celebratory moment is "throwing it on to our faces"? (also, that phrasing means you're clearly thinking of a cum shot as you describe this scene, which is your problem, not Michael Sam's)

Its "Jon Hamm's John Ham;" An SNL skit about eating ham in the men's room. As endorsed by Jon Hamm.

I wish my mom would admit to me that she never loved me. Instead, she pretends that being a needy, intrusive, narcissist is "loving" her children. Please stop blaming all your problems on me and complaining about how you sacrificed so much, and just come out and say that you wished you weren't my mother! I can tell! …

Yeah. John Hamm seems like a big dork. In the best way possible. Meaning, not an asshole like Don Draper.

That 9 to 5 reunion photo makes my heart beat with joy. I love that movie, and those women, and their playful photo op!

I just came here to say that I really, really, like SJP as a person. She seems really earnest and hardworking. She managed to make Carrie Bradshaw charming 90% of the time, even though the writing and plotlines would suggest she's the most annoying and self-centered friend in the world.

God bless you, I shall try it.

Actually, that nike bra looks exactly like the champion bra that I already double up with.

Have you actually tried the VS sports bras? It doesn't sound like it. I am a DD cup marathon runner, so I was/am willing to try lots of different bras so I can keep jogging with my giant mammaries. I saw that VS had a new line of sports bras and gave them a try. They were no shittier, and some even slightly better,…

Totally Self-serving poll time: I am pregnant and really like the name "Xavier" but this seems to be very controversial regarding pronunciation (EX-zay-vear) (Zay-vee-er). WILL MY BABY BE UNTRUSTWORTHY WITH THIS NAME?

Yo. I totes relate, and I also feel kind of guilty/shallow about it. With a few sparing highlights, everyone thinks I'm a blond, but I am also in that light brunette ambiguous hair category. Brownette?

I was born and raised in Wisconsin until I was 22, and I've lived in NYC for the last 6 years. Call me cray-cray, but I would rather move back to Milwaukee/Madison, if I had a good job there, than stay in the NYC/tri-state area. The Wisconsin urban areas have somehow gotten more interesting every time I've visited…
