Because NHS actually take care of people’s teeth and we’re envious? What?

She is definitively quite elderly and I am pointing out a possibility. That’s not patronizing, it’s using logic to consider the matter at hand. I don’t think all old people are doddering idiots.

There must come a day when she will cease siphoning my life force.

Or, you can make your husband accept that you are a fat, exhausted, middle-aged mom now and he has to take what he can get. I mean, that’s what I did. I plan to be hot again when I am less tired. My daughter will be three next month. When will I get less tired?

It’s not that I will give her a pass for being old, it’s that it’s possible she is old enough that her mental capacity is slipping and she oughtn’t be making statements at all.

Something fugly.

Have we reached the nadir? Because this has GOT to be rock-bottom pop-star.

I feel like nobody wants to talk about Ms Markle’s ring, and that is all I wanted to think about for like two hours today. It is...nice enough. I was disappointed, and no one caaaaarrrrrres about my opinion! It’s killing me!

His given name is Henry but he has always been called Harry.

I’m with you.

I really miss Rag Trade.

Yes! Yes, I would say Jez tends to be prejudiced regarding surrogacy.

Gosh, thank you! Your kind words mean a lot! Many people feel we were selfish to have a surrogate, but we tried to adopt for three years and got desperate. And we do have so much love—Little Miss Pinwheel lights up the world.

He looks like if you picked his skin a little you would find that he is a cyborg machined from up-cycled AXE body spray cans.

Yeah... Remember him in Maverick? Mmmmm... Mel Gibson AND the still-sexy James Garner. It was a revelation.

So flop sweat and alcoholism is sexy now?

Thanks for this. We met late, married late, and had a child late, late, late. I was 39 and my husband was 48 when Little Miss Pinwheel finally graced us with her presence. But, his family is full of people who live into their 90s, so we took a calculated risk.

I didn’t receive an engagement ring, per se, because we made an adult decision to get married that included none of the usual fixin’s. However, I have received plenty of jewelry both before and since, although no traditional “engagement” rings, and I make no apologies. I don’t need diamonds because they aren’t my…

We absolutely deserved to be celebrated by our loved ones, and you will NEVER know what we went through to pay for it, even after we found an altruistic surrogate who wasn’t in it for the money.

Thank you! She is a joy, every day.
