Please sign the petition to ban pro-ana/mia communities. We only want the communities that give out tips and tricks on how to starve yourself and purge to be banned. Communities for REAL support and RECOVERY will not be banned. Do you want your child to find these sites and learn to starve, purge, lie to you, and so on?

You can sign the petition and read more about it here (there also is an FAQ for the petition in i_lacemychucks journal).

One of my favorite books of all time is LM Montgomery's Emily of New Moon. In the book, Emily Starr has a friend named: Ilse.

It's a German form of Elisabeth, and the name of German princess in legend. I've heard it pronounced "EEL-sa" or "IL-sa" or "IL-za." I'm not expecting and I definitely don't plan on naming my child Ilse, but I think its an interesting name. What does everyone think of this name? I'm thinking it might make a comeback since Germanic names like Matilda are making a comeback lately.
