People will make stupid comments Shutterstock I cannot even begin to describe the ridiculous things that people said to me when they found out I was pregnant again. There seemed to be no limit to the number of comments I was forced to endure. The people around me seemed unable to exercise restraint or tact, and often, my feelings were hurt. Prime examples include: • “You know how this works, right?...

Best Bras For Big-Busted Women Shutterstock By Adria Valdes Greenhauff/March 8, 2017 9:56 pm EST Finding the perfect bra can be a challenge. Finding the perfect bra when you’re busty can be darn near impossible. At a size 36D, I’ve spent many hours in the dressing rooms of Victoria’s Secret, Soma, and other big name lingerie retailers, watching my girls spill out of way-too-small demi cups. I’ve spent even more hours navigating the racks in an attempt to avoid unnecessarily padded D cup water bras and cringed while sales associates tried to squeeze me into a 38C because it was the “same” as my regular size that they didn’t carry....

For fans of Electronic Arts’ Dead Space series, pickings have been slim for nearly a decade. The last mainline release in the survival-horror franchise was Dead Space 3 back in 2013, and since then, there has been a Necromorph-sized void to be filled in every Dead Space-lovers’ heart. Year after year EA has been asked about the series of games with little to no comment. It seemed that even though the publishing giant had given other fan-favorite franchises a second life like Mirror’s Edge and Skate, it continued to ignore their famed limb-slashing sci-fi franchise....

News that reality families such as theirs typically earn about 10 percent of their show’s budget. If, like similar shows, the estimated budget is $250,000 to $400,000 per episode, the stars of The Little Couple could easily be making around $25,000 to $40,000 with each one. However, a report in Business Insider elaborates on how, after a few years of success, the per-episode rate increases from $1,500 to $3,000 per episode to around $7,000 to $10,000 per episode for similar shows, suggesting some participants may be making considerably less....
