At least post it in the relevant section, on a relevant post on a current date. 2. The comment is completely hysterical in that disturbing Freudian sort of way when psychiatrists talk of hysterical women. 3. The snobery of thinking that some mediums are appropriate to express this kind of throught and some for that kind of throught. Whatever your opinion is you cannot control (nor should you have the right to) who uses what medium to say whatever they have to say. 4. Last but not least: The overwhelming intolerance of the comment. i.e Everyone must feel the same way I feel. Good people do what I do, bad people disagree. This kind of comment implies that if you have any feelings that are non-prescribed about periods, babies, abortions or miscarriages whatever, then they must never be expressed in case they shake the commentors own fragile pre-concieved ideas. Its ridiculous. ps- Penelope, I've gotten trapped in this blog. I ought to be working but I've been surfing through the many related posts and internal links for about 2 days and now I'm in a nightmare maze of multiple tabs. I'm having a nice time though.

Posting about your supposed miscarriage? You seem to want to bring people to your blog pretty desperately. 7:34 am in a board meeting having a miscarriage? Hmm you would not have made it to any meeting let alone walk around having a miscarriage & if you were which I call bull*hit then you have very little respect for yourself & your children. Miscarriage is painful both emotionally & physically & to broadcast it as if you were taking your mornung dump is not a professional nor respectful thing to do. Taking something serious & making a joke if it is pretty immature & any advice you have to offer is F**ked up & you simply are a desperate attention seeking selfish person. You owe an apology to women who have experienced loss & losing a baby to a miscarriage is not a relief & abortion is not birth control! Get a grip & think how lame your twitter is. You are like a child - negative attention is better than no attention. Why not do something good & focus on gaining respect & attracting people who will respect you & your "business" Grow up!

When I started my company it was only my husband and me, which was okay but not great. Then he continued with his full-time job and I hired women, one after another - at one point there were 8 of including me - not good with that many women - oh ya in my studio/used to be a garage. Now I am going to have to go back and read every single post - great blog! Oh my god – too funny. When I started my company it was only my husband and me, which was okay but not great.

Keep it up - just a matter of time of time before even that loses its edge. Your are in your 40s, aren't you? Penelope,

This is as good as reality TV. I think I will stick to the khakis. Not only are black shoes OK, they are better than brown! You wear the khakis with the black shoes and a black belt and a nice white shirt. Wear your BEST black loafers and they will "pop" as they say on the design shows. This is a timeless look in LA but may not go over in Madison, except on a muggy yet bright summer day. Try it! Wow. This is as good as reality TV. I think I will stick to the khakis.
