    My first job out of college was working as an intern for a fashion mag. They had me running around the city all day, picking things up, dropping things off, performing menial errands, etc. I rarely, if ever, got the time to eat. And then they'd yell at me hours later and ask why I didn't eat. (Usually after 3 or 4, when lunch hour was technically over). So I sympathize with being so busy that eating is the last thing on your mind. And having people around you not give you the time to do so.

    I thought the standard diet consisted of cigarettes and champagne, couture optional.

    The captions are quite annoying. A model holding a cookie is titled "Don't worry, she didn't finish it." Oh good, thank god someone is policing these women as they grab bites of fruit and cookies.

    Wake me up when they get pictures of fatties not eating. That will be a shocker. Imagine if people with different body types didn't behave according to broad stereotypes! Carazy!

    Rocko stared at Isabella coldly, as she dared herself to eat the blueberry.

    I was just talking to my mom about this, and am now highly discomfited. She said she completely understood this mother's actions, and got all purse-lipped quiet/defensive whenever I pointed out why I thought it less than a kosher idea.

    Now I'm thinking about those legal "don't use my eggs" instructions after all.

    I understand why she's doing it. It's a desire to keep your bloodline from dying. That chance died with her son. Hell, if I were rich I would keep some of my eggs and some donor's sperm frozen and order someone to create a child and name it after me if I ever died before my time.

    I can so see this working out so that octomom is the surrogate.

    Grief is as close as we get to pure madness. It robs us of rationality and gives purpose to our obsessions.

    I'm just bothered by the fact that someone has to have my permission ahead of time to take my organs or donate my body to a med school or something that you know would help people already in existence. But it's okay to harvest someone's sperm without their permission to create more children with less resources?

    This bothers me not because it's wrong to have children in a certain way, but because this is purely a selfish decision, with no regard for the child who's going to grow up without a father, or a mother, and possibly in the care of an older woman who has greater chances of dying during the child's youth than your average parent.

    Here's what I don't get: it turns out that this boy wasn't this woman's only child. SHE HAS ANOTHER SON.


    So this obviously isn't about her "continuing the family line," as she has another means for that. It means that she had some kind of weirdo relationship with this particular son that died that she doesn't want or can't have with her other son.


    This new information squicks me even more.
