I am happy to have the 24% increase in heart attack risk over the 100% risk of ongoing, lifelong misery. (3 years divorced after 30 years married; first year after we split was hell, but now I would say I have never been happier - though poorer. Probably never been healthier, too.)

You do you, as they say. I'm a fan of makeup myself. But for my hair, no real need. Plus, I'm poor. If I had money, there's a chance I'd spend more of it on shit like that, but as things stand, I'd rather, you know, eat, or pay my phone bill.

So angry! Some of us like our hair long. Which does not in fact actually mean millions of products - I use three. Or that we don't cut our own hair (I for one have been to a hairdresser exactly twice: once when I was 4 to fix the haircut my 5 year old brother gave me, and once to fix the mess resulting from asking…

I use henna from Lush which has the advantage of being deep-conditioning as well as colouring. They have black (I haven't tried it; I've been a redhead all my life and I plan to stay that way!) and brown as well as red. I use it every 6 weeks. You get used to the routine. And it makes your hair super soft and thick as…

That long hair after whatever age thing: bullshit! I'm 53 and my hair is and will always be long. And red. Still my best feature. My mum is 79, and ditto (except not red anymore).

Hard to get a malfunction out of a black dress and boots...

I can take a good selfie but there are literally about 4 pictures taken of me by others where I look like I think I do. But there are pictures of me when I was in my 20s (that is a while ago now...) that at the time I didn't like at all that I look at now and say, Hey, pretty fine! Possibly this is coloured by the…

I always knew I wanted kids (or a kid) but my husband (ex now) was decidedly lukewarm. I was also infertile so it actually was a decision that kept having to be made, in a sense, but I kept making it, and he went along (he thought it would ultimately not work out) and then when I finally did get pregnant, he was…

I never found it so, and would not have agreed at any of my kid's ages, but then I was infertile for a long time so she was a VERY wanted kid. Also I only have the one, so, lots easier - and cheaper, I guess. Nearly all my friends are childless-by-choice and have, to one extent or another, been part of raising mine.…

I used to say "Got the one I wanted first try!" if anyone said anything.

I have an only (now aged 20) but somehow or other in her circle of friends at school, there were several onlies, so I guess we were spared a lot of that. I was always prepared for such comments, but rarely actually faced them. My daughter, btw, is a very social, well-adjusted, healthy adult with a wide circle of good…

So wine's as good as exercise for your heart (http://www.bustle.com/articles/41340…) and chocolate for your heart. Life is good.

My mum was totally hip in the sixties. Some of my earliest memories are of her in the lime green mini-dress with the white gogo boots embroidered with flowers, or the psychedelic purple long slit skirt over hot pants with the bright orange mary-janes. White lipstick. False eyelashes. Hair bands. Now she's in her late…

Those white shoes are nigh perfect! What a glorious heel.

My daughter's one vegetarian friend was the other tallest-girl-in class. (I think genetics is most of height, though.)

Small for their age? Not in my experience! Said this above somewhere but I'll say it again: I have a grown-up veg-from-conception who is and has always been the healthiest kid we've known, tall and slim and studying to be a lawyer. It is not hard to raise a healthy veg*n kid. Most vegans naturally pay more attention…

It's really not that restrictive. If your toddler hates tofu one day (they never hate tofu, though, btw) they can have peanut butter. If they hate lentils, there's chickpeas (kids love hummus). No kid hates all fruits and vegetables at the same time. I never found it any kind of problem. Maybe mine was not so…

Typically a vegan diet absolutely does have enough nutrients. If you eat a varied diet, you're good. Vegans tend to eat much more in the way of fresh produce than the rest of you. We tend to eat more whole grains, and healthier proteins. We tend to pay attention to nutrition in a way that meat-eaters do not.

As the owner of a 20-year-old veg-from-conception, I can say absolutely it's a viable option. You have to pay attention of course (but veg*ans tend to) to things like B12, but it's not hard. Purely anecdotal, of course, but my kid NEVER was sick enough to go to a doctor never mind ever need antibiotics, is tall and…

Happy to live in a province that adamantly did not elect that smug self-serving prick.
