Today’s open thread is hosted by women laughing alone with salad.
Via The Hairpin, who agrees that salad is sofa king funny.
I removed your name from this three-week-old Facebook conversation, but you know who you are.

Wow--I guess after seeing this collage, I need to eat more salad!
awww, I do matter!!!!
Why is there little to no information on uterine dehiscence? I just experienced one and I have so many questions and can find no answers. I would love someone to point me in the right direction. Oh and I have always wondered why there are so many pictures of women being so happy to eat salad :)
The maniacal pig-tailed lady in beige is extra-scary. I'm hiding my lettuce from her.

Have you seen this?
Wow, the pig-tailed lady in beige really IS too weird! Salad orgasms, apparently.
Melissa, I'm sorry you are having trouble finding info on uterine dehiscence. You are not alone. I've been looking for good info on it for some time on behalf of others and haven't found what they need to know. It may not just be you....it may be that there simply is a dearth of quality information on it (and its meaning for future pregnancies) out there. Or it may be that we are simply not looking in the right places or with the right search terms.
Keep digging. You never know. But rest assured that you're not the only one having difficulty finding good info on it. If you find something, be sure to let us know!
Melissa, what specifically are you looking for? I can get some folks to come answer questions.
Naomi, you do matter to me, even though I think you're overly sympathetic to that obnoxious cherry tomato.
I've noticed a similar thing with yogurt commercials. Only, women don't eat yogurt alone. They only eat yogurt in inter-racial pairs.

That was the funniest thing I've read all day. My white friends and I feel so uncomfortable laughing and winking at each other about yogurt. It's really something that can only be enjoyed in multicultural dyads.
Damn. If only I had a salad to eat, then all this laughing I'm doing right now alone would make so much more sense!
Ditto the 'yogurt in inter-racial pairs" comment. OMG, that was awesome.
Ummmm, maybe I'll have something to share in the morning. Yawn. Maybe I'll dream about yogurt and salads and lonely laughter.
oh and It looks like you got confused with the name removal process
OMG. Naomi, thanks for being a good sport. I was going reeeeally fast earlier.
Nicole--that was hilarious!
Just discovered that the small, Christian liberal arts college where I teach has blocked "The Shape of a Mother" website as pornography. ARGH. So sad, and yet so telling. I fired off an angry email--we'll see if I can get them to unblock it.
Well rounded mama, I am mostly looking for info as to how it affects subsequent pregnancies. If it happened once, what are the odds it will happen again? How is it related to uterine rupture? I also want to know why it would happen and not a rupture. What causes the uterus to unzip without harm rather than rip open and bleed like a rupture? So many questions and NO answers.
I found some good studies on the measurement of the lower uterine segment by ultrasound in predicting uterine dehiscence by googling "uterine window." Here is a link to a page with links to several research study abstracts.
