  • Haha, this reminds me of my best friend. She told her 3-year-old son to "go get your dad" for dinner. Her son smiled sweetly and promptly screamed his dad's first name, just as my best friend would have done. It was hilarious, but I can see why she might want to start calling her husband "daddy" for a while... her kids…
  • My husband calls me "hon" a lot. I guess it's okay. I call him Dave. I used to like "sweetie" but my dad started obnoxiously bellowing that to my stepmother all the time and I lost all love for the term. I like "baby" but a friend's creepy old man boyfriend calls her that all the time and refers to her as "baby" when…
  • I'm not an expert, but wouldn't wearing leggings under your jeans to make your legs look bigger or trying to say you've been sick to excuse/hide weight loss be signs that your ED isn't really under control? I agree with amyuniversal - show them your diary and talk about your goals. You may need to see a doctor to make sure…
  • You have the child, you get priority. They should be coming to you, plain and simple. I would offer to let your parents in on the Santa excitement and really hype up making Christmas special for your son. Do they want to experience that or not? My husband and I don't have children yet, but I can already tell some of my…
  • A trainer at my gym has corrected my husband while we were lifting (it was kettlebell swings, which I have down pat due to 2 years with my own personal trainer but my husband is clueless and wanted to match or beat my weight, which isn't good for a beginner without proper form) and I've seen him jump in and correct other…
  • 5'9", 160 lbs, and I wear an 8 or 10. It depends on the brand and cut, but 8s are sometimes a teeny bit tight and 10s are better. Goal is a solid 8, occasional 6.
  • They're correlated. I will agree with that. It's unfortunate.
  • While that may be true for an average middle-class white woman, this comment is off-base. The color of my skin does not tell you much about my past and my upbringing. I'd advise you to pause before making your generalizations and think through your statements carefully. Financial struggles can apply to all races, genders,…
  • I've always thought that if today's youth in America were required to work retail over holidays and in the food industry before graduating high school, there would be a lot more college-educated and responsible people in society. People have messed up priorities and the entitlement issues are a HUGE concern. I have nice…
  • I have a cookie recipe that calls for browning the butter, using two different kinds of chocolate chips, sprinkling the tops with sea salt, and a Nutella filling inside. They're AMAAAAZING but not exactly diet-friendly... even if they do fit in your macros, your sugar is blown out for the day with one cookie. Nutella is a…
  • It depends on the situation for me. If you don't want the reminders, give the gifts back or donate them. I have kept very few gifts from ex-boyfriends over the years. In fact, I think I only have two things leftover: a necklace from my very first boyfriend and a tea kettle from another one. I don't really like the necklace…
  • I have a PhD and am a research scientist. This show is hilarious to me, as I am constantly in contact with people just like the characters. I can watch it for hours. Adding Mayim to the cast (Amy Farrah Fowler) was a genius move and has made this the funniest show on tv.
  • I'm 5'9" with 26% body fat. Weight is 160 right now. Goal is 17%.
