So Jezzies, I know a lot of you are scientifically-medically minded, and a fair number of moms, and I need some advice. Little sunshine is 5.5 and has struggled with a million issues since starting school 2 years ago. we have finally, after years of doctors, occupational therapy, physical therapy, Iep plans, the…

Living in the heart of the OC, I can tell you that every grocery store chain around here has Cosmo covered like this. I actually find the "worst beach bodies" and "wasting-away?" covers the tabs do more offensive but that's just me. I do have to say that I would rather my six-year-old not ask me what "100 best sex…

I had this! Impending sense of doom that actually manifested itself in fear of what I considered the impending apocalypse. I even went so far as to buy medicines and food to "prep" us for the disaster. Then the left side of my face went numb and my doctor decided maybe I wasn't crazy and ordered a MRI. 2 hours…

While race is obviously a huge factor in the discrepancy between police involvement in the two cases, I think the media is more responding to the more scandalous nature of Lisa's disappearance. Mom was drunk, cell phones were missing, older siblings not questioned b/c mom doesn't want them to be, lying to the police,…

I had this happen to me. At about 7 wks pregnant I had a lot of pain only on one side. We went to the ER and they did an internal ultrasound (the doppler is a wand they stick up in your vadge to get a good look). I was diagnosed with a "blighted ovum" which is where the sack forms and the fetus begins to develop…

But but but... Tina Fey! SNL! She brings the funny! She needed to run just to bring the joy of making fun of her back to this country! It's a recession! We needed the laughs!

I have been following all the "worth it" posts here and have purchased almost all of them, except stuff that doesn't apply (curly hair, etc). My favorite but also most confusing is the Urban Decay Naked Palette. It's beautiful but I have NO CLUE how to use it. I have looked at a lot of tutorials on YouTube, but they…

My daughter did too! She had so much hair it inhibited her travel down the birth canal and they had to rub mineral oil on her head as she was crowning. She never lost any of it, just kept growing.

Can someone explain to me what is going on with Taraji P. Henson's dress? She seems to be wearing a light beige bra, and very wrinkly spanx under a fully sheer dress right? But then what is going on just under her breasts? Is that shadow, or is her skin on her upper abdomen much darker than her other skin? Or is…

I don't understand why this is even a question—why would a doctor NOT tell a woman something about her own body? Aren't we all entitled to ALL medical information about ourselves? I have very small and dense breasts—something that has been mentioned to me every time I get a pap-smear/breast exam. As soon as I…

I had the same response to the pill, after being on it for 17 years (with only a 14 month break to have my daughter). After finally getting sick of having NO sex drive, and crazy mood swings, I had an IUD (Paraguard) inserted in November. Best decision I ever made. I love love love not having to worry about birth…

This made me laugh out loud. And read your post to my husband. Then we decided that we completely agree about mini-sunshine—gay, straight, cis, trans, poly, mono, whatever you want baby-girl. Just don't be a social conservative. We decided that if she is we will consider ourselves failures as parents because we…

Mr Sunshine had a class in HS that was called "Single Living Skills" that was required for graduation. They learned how to cook 12 full meals, clean, care for a home, balancing checkbook, budgeting, how to buy furniture (what to look for in good furniture), laundry, yard care, auto care, etc. They even learned what…

What if it was exactly the way you guys are thinking but she actually was not HUNG, just strangled during the sex act itself. The brother FREAKS, ties the rope to the balcony, pitches her over the side, paints the door message to look like a murder/suicide and then goes back to his room. Waits a few hours, pretends…

She wanted SHINY material, so the ice cream is made of this weird satin/polyester mix. The sprinkles are going to be little rhinestone gems she picked out. I admit I overbought on fabric since this is only the 2nd costume I have ever made. I think I let her get carried away at our local JoAnn and it cost me dearly!

As a mom who just went out and spent $300 to buy supplies to make this I would have been more than happy to just buy something for min-sunshine. Just the sewing hours alone are probably going to add up to $900 (if I work for 3 hours an evening for 10 days, at my current payrate). Too bad it's too late to get a copy…

I was on the pill for 17 years straight (with a one year gap for getting pregnant and having my daughter) and I had a copper IUD placed in November. My experience of the change was some serious cramping the first few days of the IUD, then everything went back to normal. My periods are heavier and much crampier, last…

Story of my life. It's only when I am off the pill that I have what I consider a "normal" sex drive (meaning I actually want to HAVE it). My husband and I have been thrilled with how I feel since getting my copper IUD in November. I had a really difficult time orgasming when on the pill, it's like something was…
