From Atop Tank Hill

Is that kind of like One Tree Hill?

Fantastic photo!
But naked yoga? really?
As a woman, I can’t imagine that downward dog would be much fun naked.
And as a pregnant woman, any extracurricular nakedness is to be avoided.

Redundant – See Redundant.

You guys are cracking me up (especailly Tiffany’s manners posting) Mihow, I’m with you – SF is a dirty little party town. Not too thrilled with it – there are many better coastal towns with far less seagulls and trash. I figured that pile of “dirt” was manure – since central california seems to be such a cow town – I can’t plug my nose long enough to get all the way through without the smell.

Thank goodness I’m not alone. Even the strippers find a way to be dirtier. They don’t just “lap dance” in San Francisco, no. They remove the panties sit and go up and down dance.

…Or so i have been told.

I am not a stripper. Nor have I had any Bay Area lap dances.

What’s that really big brown lump on the right side of the picture?

you’re kidding, right?

Another congrats on the reconvining of the procedure. My daughter is a week younger than yours, and it’s good to know my husband wasn’t the only man like him in the world (he SWEARS he is)

No, but seriously.

Should a woman with the email address “sassietrousers” have the authoritay to offer insight on anything?

I’m gonna go with a no.

Someone needs to introduce sassietrousers to the concept of irony. Hopefully, with a name like sassietrousers, she’d already be well aquainted with it though.

Danielle – what makes you think “sassytrouseres” is infertile? Most infertiles are not like that.

One of my favourite blogs, apart from Dooce, of course, is by an infertile Lady (I draw your special attention to that post, because it is about Dooce)

A$$hats are come in all shapes and colours, fertile, infertile, and “childfree by choice”.

The growing concensus seems to be that the mound ‘o’ dirt resembles kaka. Dooce…you need to move there because SF is OBVIOUSLY hoarding all the fibre.

I also want to know what the hell is in that women’s pants that is making her so god-damned sassy?

Your featured letter from a reader made me cringe.. It is so blooming obvious you are cut out for this parenting gig, you just have the balls to tell it like it is. Motherhood is wonderful, we love our little dictators to death but I guess being honest about the ‘extras’ was too much for your reader to bear. I dunno, having HONEST insights to the act of giving birth and the fall out that results was too much for her. Some prefer to pretend it is all hearts and flowers. It is not. It is a totally life/body changing event as most mothers are willing to admit. Some of it not pretty. And that is just the way it is. Kudo’s to you for telling the TRUTH! Leta is a lucky girl, she has REAL parents who appparently love her dearly.

i think sassietrousers is related to george bush. having a baby does not hurt! the war in iraq is going great! negativity does not exist in the world! everything is rigidly and unchangeably WONDERFUL!

schwarzenegger/sassietrousers in ’08!

Hi Jessica,

I think it was this comment:

I think some people should just leave such wonderful experiences
to those who have the stamina and fibre to do such things!!!
Having a baby is a WONDERFUL experience, down to the labor pains and tearing

…that had me jumping to that conclusion. In retrospect it was an assumption on my part, and for that I apologize. Dooce has also posted some other items wherein infertile women liken her to the main source of evil on the planet, so my response was undoubtedly influenced by those, also.

I’ve read the story you were trying to link at Chez Miscarriage, so now worries.

My apologies for any offense to the infertile, or any blanket assumptions I had made, as that was not my intent. Just concurring on the “asshat”-ness of the email.

I’m not sure why I feel compelled to read this blog, no less comment on it. Heather and Jon and baby (and dog) have become like one of the family – and I’m just some stranger out here…

But you know, if I didn’t enjoy their writing, honesty, and worldview – I just wouldn’t read it. I don’t understand why some feel they must dump toxic waste on someone just because they disagree.

Shame on sassypants.

Danielle – thanks for the clarification! All is cool.

Weez – ROFL…my sentiments exactily.

Yeah, Heather, why aren’t you drifting about with a constant seraphic smile on your face, your angelic infant glowing in your tireless arms, and a halo above your sweet maternal head? That’s what real mothers do, you know. I saw it on a Christmas card once.

You know, and we know, that you are a fantastic parent and that you have many, many fans because you are willing to tell it as it is with humor and style. But I admire you most for your incredible strength, Dooce. I cannot imagine getting emails like that (and given the vast internet and the vast numbers of nutcases, I’m sure you’ve gotten more than your fair share) and still having the courage to write as freely as you do. I hope that never changes, because I’m pretty addicted to your blog!

sassietrousers-

You must be a lonely hag without any friends. You might want to consult a doctor about that stone cold heart that lives in your body.

Long live the Armstrong family and as many little feet as their loving hearts desire:)

I think you should put sassietrousers’ real e-mail address on your website and let us do your dirty work!

I think sassiepants is missing the whole point: it’s the whole package (from pain to poop to tiny feet and temper tantrums) that makes motherhood wonderful.
Long live Dooce and blatant honesty!!!

Imagine what Miss Sassy has to say about oops babies and teen moms. My oh my, give her my email so she can be nasty to me!

I thought that was sassie’s real e-mail? I thought about doing the hate-mail like maddox, where all the fans can write in to ignorant bitches/ sons-of-bitches and just generally tell them what they are, and I was tempted to, but I figure if it’s her real e-mail, she’s going to get plenty of shit, and I won’t be able to tell her off any more articulately than anyone else. Probably much less so. But just for the record:
Clearly, you don’t know what the funk you’re talking about “sassietrousers”. Get a fucking life.

Obviously, miss sassy hasn’t read much of your website.
If we could, The Internet Who Loves You would kick her ass.
Maybe she is the kind of person (mother?) who had her child “trained” at 2 months. Dooce, you rock, and we all know how much you love your Leta even with all of the challenges!
