I don't think that there is anything wrong with talking to the kids yourself. I certainly wouldn't yell at them (it would be hard not to, though) but maybe by just opening up to them and letting them know that you are personally hurt by their comments might shame them into changing behavior...

I dated a guy who turned out to be gay. I know that even though I'm the wrong sex for him, he was into me as much as he could be with a woman. I think that he also really wanted to be married and have kids and live a picture-perfect suburban life...which is unfortunately more difficult for...

My mom was so upset that I was moving away and getting married, she had a complete breakdown and made ridiculous accusations about him, tried build a case that I was an incompetent mother to my daughter, and really made what should have been a happy event a nightmare. We ended up having a very...

It never looks right. Get a lovely Chanel lipgloss instead.

Mirena was one of the best things I've ever done! The only hormone in it is progesterone, and the effects are minimal compared to estrogen. I have a weird bend in my uterus, so I actually had to get sedated in the hospital for the insertion--but it was worth it!!!!!!! Many aspects in...

Both of my parents are awkward, clumsy, and bookish, as am I. Otherwise, I'm more like my dad in that I'm sarcastic, logical, and quizzical. My mother is still a child when it comes to emotions and decision-making.

I went tanning for two weeks before my wedding. I've always been anti-tanning, but I broke down and did it when I saw how ghostly I looked in my dress. Thankfully, I was very prudent about it and only got a little bit of color, but I feel like a hypocrite for doing it.

Thank you elliemom for being a voice of reason. You are right, pharma companies lose money on vaccines. Also, don't any of you realize that alt-med, and homeopathy proponents may also have an agenda? I had my seasonal flu shot, and I'm waiting for H1N1 vaccine to become available...

Yes, good nutrition, plenty of rest, and a low-stress life are really the only ways to grow your hair. If your hair seems like it's also falling out a lot, that can be due to thyroid deficiencies.

Slim-Fast high protein.

Sweat is water-soluble. Seriously...do not shampoo your hair every day if it is curly. J&J Baby shampoo is what hairstylists recommend to strip your hair if you did a bad home dye-job. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone else...except for babies. Wet hair, then condition--don't...

I'd have to say immediately following intimate time with DH. In fact, that's what we do before going someplace fancy--or even to a friend's place for dinner. Take a shower, do the hair and makeup, jump into bed, jump out of bed, get dressed and go out. ;)

Yes, people can develop allergies. Also, manufacturers change the formulations in products as well. I find the most common culprit is laundry detergent and/or fabric softener.

I loooooove Mad Men. The clothes, the story line, etc. I used to work in advertising, so it's fun to see how some things have changed, and shockingly, many things are still the same in the industry.

Maybe these parents are too stupid to understand what RSVP means?

I only take Emergen-C during, uh...emergencies. Extra vitamin C gives me chancre sores, and it can interfere with birth control. --It's great for hang-overs, but I haven't had one in years.

The standard physician's advice is 6 weeks. I'd start out with lots of walking, and then gradually add more.

You'd probably look great in skinny jeans. You should probably keep the color dark, and pair them with a nice wedge or platform rather than a ballet flat. Sometimes petite women can "get lost" in too much fabric, and a skinny jean worn correctly can help you to rediscover your legs and shape.

I brew my own iced tea every day. I just make a cup of tea and then pour it over ice-cubes with a squeeze of lemon in my stainless steel bottle. I'll add a little more water to fill up the bottle. I alternate several different kinds. Lately I've been drinking this green tea acai berry...

Great job with the weight loss! You've accomplished the hardest part, in my opinion! I'd do whatever you enjoy the most, first. Maybe go easy at first, but you may surprise yourself with your muscle memory, and on the other hand, you may be surprised to find a lack of stamina.
