    Seriously on the Prince thing. I once wanted to listen to "When Doves Cry" and could find NOTHING. Me, queen of finding nearly anything online- could not locate anything of his on the Interwebs.

    While it sucks for people who use Youtube and whatnot in lieu of putting on a CD, you gotta admit that he seriously knows what he's doing when it comes to nixing the piracy of his work. #porn

    I am very angry at this woman. She decided to have kids instead of seeking help. And I'm sick of people claiming to be religious when it's a good excuse to get out of a fucked up thing. "Oh, I couldn't KILL those babies, I'm very religious." How else are you religious, Nadia? In what way? Do you go to church? Because typically people who are SO religious that they believe that destroying embryos is murder usually have some sort of part in their community. Did you go to church BEFORE this happened or is it just now that you need the church-members help and money?

    You know, I make probably twice as much as the average American and I don't believe that I am financially capable of bringing ONE child into this world right now. That's not to say that people who aren't super wealthy and education can't have kids...I'm just saying that you shouldn't be COMPLAINING about an inability to take care of your kids because of your inexplicably low salary while continuing to PROACTIVELY implant embryos in you. She was making $15K a year with 6 kids?

    This lady is a pathological liar. Remember when she said that she never was on public assistance? Lie. Remember when she said that she was totally capable of taking care of her kids because she's getting her Ph.D. or whatever in psychology and could care for them with that degree? Lie. Remember when she said that she never had plastic surgery? Lie.

    This is the same lady that goes out and gets a tattoo (which costs hundreds of dollars) while her kids are at home with a bunch of nannies that are being paid by who? SHE IS A FUCKING NUTCASE. No schaudenfraude here...just total anger. #octomom

    @JinxyMcDeath: I just want to comment on one thing. Being religious does not necessarily mean you must have a community in which you are active. People practice their religions differently, and while a good many do choose to express their faith by going to church/temple/mosque etc, not doing so doesn't make you fake or irreligious. In the same way, going to church doesn't really mean a damn thing. #octomom

    Maybe I am alone, but I think the across-the-forehead headbands are quite cute.

    I am not known for my excellent taste in clothes, though. My mom threatens me with What Not to Wear frequently. So, maybe what I like isn't the best litmus test. #freepeople

    I can get you a ring like that at one of the jewelry stores on 74th St. in Jackson Heights.

    Then head to Patel Brothers for the best Indian grocery shopping eva.

    And wrap it all up with a henna tattoo! I'm getting myself a HT to freak out my family at Thanksgiving. It's going to be kick-ass.

    The only thing some of us want from an Octomom story is for it not to appear in any publication of record and for a Jezebel piece to be reproduced instead in the space it would have taken.

    (Unless, of course, it's a Jezebel piece about Octomom, in which case I drown in the conundrum.)

    Do they charge for embryo storage by the month? I thought it was more of an annual thing. That way, you know what the fixed cost is gonna be. Regardless, did she not think this was going to be an issue when she decided to do IVF and freeze them in the first place?

    I feel like there's a definite Greek Mythology connection with Nadya Suleman. Perhaps Persephone? #octomom

    @JessickerFletcher: Why Persephone? Persephone didn't have kids (at least on record), and was married. She strikes me as more of a Hera. A mother of many, but not a nice mother, a spiteful lady who never quite gets what she wants. #octomom

    @PoisonPixie: Oh well, I always thought Demeter was the goddess of the harvest and Persephone was fertility (and was the reason we have Spring). I dunno. Still the photo was apt. Plus, Persephone was the Queen of the Underworld after Hades took her. (Stop me if this is wrong) #octomom

    @JessickerFletcher: Persephone is the reason we have both Winter and Spring. She was taken by Hades to be his queen, since he saw her and fell in love with her. While she was in the underworld, she ate 6 pomegranate seeds. Her mother Demeter, goddess of grain and fertility, wouldn't let anything grow while she couldn't find her daughter. Zeus didn't like that, so he brought Persephone back up. Hades said that since she had eaten in the underworld, she had to stay there with him (it's kind of a rule that you can't eat there or else you stay forever). Zeus decided that since she ate 6 seeds, she had to stay in the underworld for 6 months and could spend the other 6 with her mother. When Persephone was in the underworld, Demeter stopped helping things grow, making Fall and Winter, and when Persephone came back up, Demeter get back to work, making Spring and Summer. Tada, seasons!

    That's the version I know, anyway. There are a bunch of others. #octomom
