FYI: your supply is low likely because you are having trouble. For what it's worth, my nipples hurt so much that I was bawling and bleeding and if my husband dared to sit down next to me- slightly jostling the cushion a bit - I'd scream in pain. When he brought me our DS, it was like he was handing me a torture device. But for some reason I stuck with it, and after that initial pain period, it all went away. I then made it to 15 months, x2. Just sharing in case anyone really wants to but can't take the pain. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I am looking to hire a new nanny. An agency called an recommended someone who sounds perfect from their description. I called her and asked her if she was busy and she apologized and asked if she can call back in 30 minutes. I was on a lunch break and asked to call after 9pm. When I called her at 9:10 the phone was turned off so I left a msg. Then I called her in am and she did pick up, I described the job and asked her if she is interested and if so I would like to interview her on the phone. She said that she is interested and that she will call me back. Not worth pursuing right? 4 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

Apparently Mary's mom told her friend "in confidence" that she saw him doing something inappropriate and she was very upset with him.

Baloney. OP says her kid is busy with "extracurriculars after school" not that he is at home improvising. That is no different than a mom who picks her DC up and takes him to the park or a friends house for a scheduled play date. [ Reply | More

Park means you are going not knowing who is there. Playdates have the moms guzzling wine while kids (often forced) "play". It's usually more about who the mom wants to hang with than kids. [ Reply | More

I think it depends on your kid. If he has siblings and neighbors close in age to play with, then maybe not. My kids clamor for playdates and I'm ok with them. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Anyone else hear this: Pantaleo was sued twice in the past for alleged racially motivated misconduct while on the job. Two black men accused him in 2012 of subjecting them to an illegal strip search in broad daylight. Pantaleo purportedly “tapped” each man’s testicles during the search, which he claimed was a bid to discover any contraband, the Daily News reported. The suit was settled last January. 7 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

"racially motivated misconduct" that gets settled, it doesn't say that he was acquitted and found innocent. this is long before he goes out and kills Eric Garner. Maybe EG would be alive today if they had taken him off the job earlier. [ Reply | More

[ - ] Most of you are probably too young to appreciate this, but I was only 13 in 1976 and I vividly remember watching Bruce Jenner at the Olympics and what a huge deal it was. He was a superstar and bigger than the most popular movie stars at that point and I probably had his poster on my wall. So it is jaw dropping to me to see what seems to be his transformation into a woman. If that is what makes him happy, I'm thrilled for him, but it really is shocking if you remember him back then. It's like Michael Jordan announcing he is becoming a woman now. (If you are old enough to remember how hugely famous Jordan was in his heyday). 16 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

OP: I don't either. But I think most people think of him as some Kadashian husband, who is famous because he is married to one of them. They know he is a former athlete, but don't realize how famous he was -- not just some guy who won a gold medal, but someone with Michael Jordan-like popularity in the US for a while. If you remember him that way and never watch the Kardashians, it's far more stunning that he is making this transformation. [ Reply | More

He should just come out already and the press will swing the other way and start talking about how fabulous he looks, instead of weird.

Yes, obviously he's in a coma and when he wakes up and realizes the woman he was planning to marry after falling head over heels in love is lost to him he will be devastated. Or, in the alternative, maybe it just wasn't as great a date for him as it was for you. Or he has "amazing chemistry" with lots of women because he's a womanizer and that's his MO.

At this point, no. As long as you hadn't texted him after the date to say thanks for a great evening already, I think it's fine at this point to say "hey, it's Sarah, I just wanted to say hi and thank you for a great evening last Friday! Hope you're having a good week". Nothing after that though obviously. And if you've already texted him thank you then no, you can't text him again if he never responded. [ Reply | More
