I think this actually makes a lot of sense. When I first got my period, I was living at my dad's for the summer. I was horrified, embarassed, etc. I couldn't bring myself to pick pads or tampons up at the store, let alone ask my dad to do it. (Thank you stepmom, thank you gams). I can totally see my ridiculous 13( or…

@PoppiesNCream: I remember spending the summer at my dad's, where I was actually allowed to buy these magazines and put up the pictures and posters all over my wall there. I would guess my wall was 80% Jonathan Brandis. Still can't believe he killed himself.

Look, I find Gwyneth to be insufferable, but this mean girl bullying of her is completely ridiculous and seems to run contrary to the spirit of and intention behind Jezebel.

This was just a silly rumor leaked to try and make Mourinho and co. look stupid and petty. There is no Shakira ban.

@Remi: Because this is America goddamnit!

I feel like Morning Gloria is on to me and the fact that I had two sex dreams about Russell Brand this week. I feel grossed out enough already. I don't even really like him that much, except for when he's in Goth Detective mode with Noel Fielding. I do love the Goth Detectives.

Found out yesterday that I was turned down for yet another job, one that seemed like a sure thing. Been unemployed for over a year. If one more person tells me I'm over-qualified for a position I will kick their teeth in.

@Marbe: When I was younger, my guilty pleasure was Victoria Holt. She wrote gothic romances. I got into them after exhausting my Austen/Bronte collections.

She should have named the exhibit "Look at Me!: Self-Indulgence and Daddy Issues."

That's my inbred, poldactyl baby! Got him and his sister in arctic Alaska. Most of the cats up there are polydactyl.

Topper says "T" is for Tabby!!!!!

FTM is where I especially see huge problems. I don't know that many prisons would have the ability to create separate areas to house FTM prisoners. I think the only currently available option is administrative segregation which offers minimal protection and also keeps them from being able to participate in any…

Wait! Greek yogurt is vegetarian? For reals, yo? I never even though to look since finding vegetarian yogurt is like finding the holy grail. Count my ass in!

I admit to some ignorance in this area. I feel like the only time I ever need my birth certificate is at the DMV. Obviously, what is on the birth certificate will go on the state I.D. So with that in mind, doesn't the government have an important interest in correctly identifying the sex of an individual? I'm thinking…

Bastards threaten a six-year old. That is so uncalled for. Shame on whoever did that.

@gonzobiology: A child dying suddenly of an unknown heart condition is not the same as a child with a known condition dying throw a known method that another child would be responsible for. Apples and oranges, though both are equally horrifying.

@jenawithonen: Yes, I could. Which is why I don't think her parents should be putting her at risk. If the mere whiff of peanut-anything could KILL my child, no way in hell would I send her to school where even with uber-strict controls there is still a large likelihood she could DIE. If you want to send your child to…

When I read the headline 'What Do You Think Charlie Sheen's Breath Tastes Like?', I threw-up in mouth. That's what Charlie Sheen's breath tastes like.

I feel a lot of sympathy for this young girl, but if I were a parent at this school, I would not want her at my kids' school. If her allergy is as severe as her father says, then one tiny slip up from someone, anyone, and this young girl would die. How do you prepare your kids for that? Kids are sloppy, messy, sneaky,…

@ricardvs: I am referring to two specific waves of aliyah and the immediate crisis of a need for a place to put Jews after WWII. Do I need to give an in-depth history lesson on the years of pogroms that inspired the earlier waves of aliyah? What do you think? That one day a bunch of Jews decided to take a break from…
