'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
In fact, I usually bump into the other assholic extreme of people who get all judgey about bottle or formula feeding.
The fun part is how on comment threads, it's usually the same people.
The "formula is poison but if the kid is old enough to walk then breastfeeding is creepy and wrong" attitude is disgustingly common.
This sounds like it was from that Slate advice column thing the other day where someone wrote in to complain that a five year old walked up to his mom, said he was thirsty and she gave him the boob at the dinner table with her new in laws.
She told them he's allergic to cow's milk and this is the only way he can get milk or something.
It's in Ask Prudie.

That was the most recent one - there've been several lately.
Cool set of photos showing retouching: some of it is really kind of horrifying how much they change.

And honestly, I think that by that age, it's a little weird. If you're the kid's only/primary foodsource, then I'm all for whipping out a boob just like you would a bottle. But by the time the kid is only doing it for comfort/able to walk and talk and ask for it? I think there's some discretion required. I don't know why that's my feeling, but...
I had to llama drama at work today and teach it to my team.
Aliens on Ice. . .
You know that people will be llama dramaing during conference calls from now on.

Some of the retouching I can see the reason for--smoothing the edge of the hair, removing reflections off teeth. Some I understand though feel sorry about, like changing the skin textures to the flawless look people expect to see in professional advertising and editorials. But some of those people are unrecognizable. And Clooney looks much hotter before they took out some of those crags, and the one guy in the tux looks about the age of Justin Bieber after the retouching, and he's damned yummy in the before picture.
I haven't been slammed with a migraine for a while, so today seemed like the perfect day to reaquiaint myself with the misery. Blarg.
I crawled in bed and was actually able to go to sleep. Which was great until K-Bug and her bf got into a tickle war. OMG, not cool. Totally not cool. I wanted to rage from my room and kill them but the idea of moving saved their lives.
We have tickets to see Lion King on stage tonight. This MUST BE GONE by then.
