| I feel extremely constricted by organizers that require things to be listed at a certain time. It is like a mental claustrophobia. Invariably, something I scheduled before hand takes a little longer than expected which then throws off the written schedule, which drives me bonkers. Some sort of &quo... |

| B19, the blogger you linked to refused to post the article about the Canadian parents, the Wellses, who live tweeted their son's meltdown. I however will give the link, since this sort of narcissistic behavior is WRONG and MUST be brought into the light. http://www.ptbocanada.com/journal/2015/3/7/p... |

| I kind of feel like I'm somewhere in between. I don't feel male per se, but I don't feel particularly female, either. I identify as female because that's the body I was born with, and I've never had the desire to start acting or dressing like a guy. I've always been a tomboy, and since girls' behavi... |

| I'm not anti-vaccine, but I am going to play devil's advocate here: Anything you put in your body has the potential to be harmful to you; what works for one individual's biology may not work the same for someone else.
