I love how women spontaneously get pregnant all on their own, without the intervention of men, and it's all their fault. And their responsibility. LADY PROBLEMS.
And all these men weren't born or anything. They were dropped from space or something.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Yeah, that was two abject failures. The first because it turns out a cuisinart blade doesn't go low enough to actually engage with one egg yolk, and the second because, I dunno, I was using the stick blender and, well, it's nothing like mayonnaise at all. I think it did not emulsify. It's just liquid. And kinda gross.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jilli, do you think the average American woman cares about pockets? It seems like there's more to do than just making them available--entire silhouettes have to change, and I can't see even an sizable minority of women digging that.
I mean, I wish I had more useful pockets, but only a few of my clothes has anywhere to put a pocket or three that would do more than lighten my bag.
I know there are guys out there who don't worry about sitting on their stuff, but I got pretty much nothing that a Nook-sized pocket is going to look good in and allow me to sit down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
flea, check Serious Eats for mayo tips.
I fear I'm about to go apoplectic. Is that a lady problem as well?
I'm pretty sure the word you want is hysterical, not apoplectic.

Maybe I can get mr. flea to go get mayo. The recipes online make it look hard. A cup of oil mixed in a drop at a time? I am not that patient a cook.
If you've got a food processor, look at the cap on top. If there's a well with a little hole at the bottom, you can dump all the oil into that, and then it'll drip into the mixture as you run the food processor.

The first because it turns out a cuisinart blade doesn't go low enough to actually engage with one egg yolk
Yeah, I've run into that. Super frustrating, because making mayo seems like something the cuisinart really ought to be good for! And I know some people have gotten really good (and easily achieved) results with stick blenders, but I have not, so I can't help with that one.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There's a movie about the hysteria and the lady parts.
It's at the theater in my old neighborhood (which is 5 minutes away from where we are now), and we really need to get out to see that before it leaves.
(Maggie Gyllenhaal + vibrators = there is no bad there.)
