A lot of people hate the whole process of consignment shopping- everything's jumbled together, the thing you really want is in the wrong size, the clothes wear out faster, and they often just look not quite...right. I kept trying, but after I realized that I never wore most of the second hand clothing I bought (or…

Pesto? Pesto with everything always? Or maybe a creamy alfredo sauce?

This is an open thread. People post about whatever they want to. There are open threads every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evenings.

It can't be a coincidence that this trailer came out right after the new Newsroom episode about killing Bin Laden.

The editorial staff specifically instructed her not to make the piece a political one, after Buck questioned her own qualifications to write a piece about Syria. They then excluded her from editorial meetings and refused to give her guidance. And, to be fair, she did write this before the Arab Spring started.

Replying to bump this up, because I've been wondering the same thing! From what I've seen, I really like her!

If he's allowed to be confused about the definition of "strangle", then she is allowed to be confused about what the cop meant by "demonstrate".

Well, it's supposed to be both, which is why it's a kind of tricky show, but I like it for that. (Admittedly, I've only seen four or five episodes.) Remember the quote about "being the voice of this generation"? That was from a character, not the writer.

Aah, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying that every wartime has been harder than this, and thus implying that we haven't been at war. Sorry about that!

You do realize that this has been a wartime era? Maybe not to the same extent as, say, WWII, but we have been fighting two wars.

(Just a little side note, Girls is supposed to be mocking and satirical. If you look at it that way, it's a really great show.)

"And holding the kid while you give it a bottle" - MoRex acknowledged the bottle feeding option in his/her comment.

I think they have separate bathrooms, only which bathrooms are which might change as the population configuration changes. So, not having urinals is supposed to make that easier and save space.

Oh yes, I completely agree with you about that! His method was obnoxious. I guess I just find it a bit tedious to only critique an article for the fact that it's an article. In my opinion, the more interesting discussion topic is, how much say does the father get in unusual breast feeding choices? Is the spousal…

Yes yes, it's not our business, etc. But, since it has been brought to our attention via this article, I think that for the duration of these discussions we can *pretend* that it's our business. It's not like we're telling them what to do, we're speaking in hypotheticals amongst ourselves. Anyone who pretends that we…

I agree! He's a douche and goes about it in the completely wrong way, but he has valid points and valid concerns. Marriage is as important as parenting.

I mean, according to your other posts, you're also objecting to him wanting to have a say in this admittedly unusual lifestyle and parenting choice that's affecting their marriage.

Well, the sexual relationship between the two people is a very important part of a marriage. Also, it should be the mother's and the father's parenting choice. We're not talking about a choice in lullabies, we're talking about a serious (and unusual) lifestyle choice. Their marriage is just as important as their…

Thank you! Finally, a voice of reason. No, the husband shouldn't have on-demand access to boobs 24/7, but, he did marry the woman. Marriages do involve sex, and it's normal to expect sex (and, as part of this, breasts) every so often. The spousal relationship is *just as* important as the parent-child relationship.

I tried Weight Watchers, but between the technical glitch, how unclear the points system was, and the fact that I actually gained weight, I stopped. But, myfitnesspal is a free app for tracking food, nutrition, and exercise, and it's awesome! I mean, it doesn't have a variety of recipes, but it's not hard to find…
