@sarahchirp: Nah, they're the Nike Air Max Trainer One [www.zappos.com]

@S.R.: I was at a party in a nightclub in Vegas over the weekend*, and as soon as I heard Tik Tok come on I busted my ass to get to the dance floor. Not gonna lie.

@EBone: There is no QoS for text messages. They are instantaneous until the network is under load and then they...might not be. They might be delayed or not go through at all, and the phone company is under no obligation to ensure their delivery.

@jody-diperna: A guy I went to high school with is a coach for KC Tribe. It's not my thing but I'm so glad there are women out there playing their butts off, and I'm proud to know someone that's involved with it.

There is a lot more to the article than this quote...it's a worthwhile read. He does do some more generalizing, but given the state of video games at the time he's not that off-base.

@femme-bot: Are you kitty-snarking?

@BelleBreezing: You have it exactly backwards. (The flu vaccine is for viruses, but it's more of a shot in the dark.)

Oh god, I am so petty, because I want to post this on Facebook without comment. My best friend in high school was incredibly toxic. She kept me around because she viewed herself as prettier and smarter than me. In the fall of our senior year she got dumped by her boyfriend and I started dating someone shortly…

Whatever happened to the old maxim "take a look in a mirror on your way out the door and remove one accessory?" I count...5-6 bracelets, a ring, a lapel pin, a pair of earrings, two necklaces, those fucking glasses, and about 80' of pearl strand. To say nothing of that ridiculous crushed velvet blazer.

@pastanaut: My mom did not have a Dalkon Shield, but our neighbor did and it almost killed her. She was pretty freaked out when I told her I was considering an IUD, but I e-mailed her literature on modern IUDs and it calmed her down a little.

@clockwise - counter: Next you're going to tell me that Soylent Green is people? I can't deal if that's the case.

I just had my Mirena IUD removed on Tuesday after 5 trouble-free, period-free, blissful years. I loved it. Jenna's account of the insertion matches mine almost exactly. It definitely hurt, and I was crampy for the rest of the day, and every time I got gas or had a stomachache I was all "OMG IT'S COMING OUT OF…

@Thatiswhyyoufail: I wore my hair short all through high school and caught hell for it the entire time. I guess that means the knuckledragging rednecks I called "classmates" just had developmental delays.

On 12/26, I got a UTI that landed me in the ER. (It got me out of a prolonged visit with my in-laws, too.) It came on so fast and was so painful! I started out at a walk-in clinic (to get the *&!@*$& scrip for antibiotics) but by the time I got home I was peeing blood. That and the epic pain sent me to the ER.

@gunchkin: It makes me really mad at myself when I don't see things like that until they are pointed out to me. :( Good catch.

@NellMood: I found it on Amazon for less than fifty cents. I'm so, so tempted.

@whats_in_a_name: Oof. We used to have two of those in my workplace. A guy and a girl, both rarely bathed or did laundry. When someone complained to HR, he started bathing in Axe and she seemed to be partial to its girlie floral equivalent.

You know what Jon needs? Meggings. #inf

@TheFormerJuneBronson: I'm with you. I woke up one morning and said "you know what? I don't make my living with my looks. Maybe if I did, this or that imperfection would matter. But I have a body that works and I have a job that doesn't depend on whether or not I have a pimple or a bit of a belly. So fuck it." I am…

@Ailatan: If you want to pick nits, it's "Kohl's," which is kind of like a JCPenny's that wants to be hip but fails miserably. I think they're based out of Minnesota, which as we all know is a hotbed of "punk rawk."
