IMO, keep it to yourself for now, but it'll make a good story to tell her after you've gotten together.

Y'know, Cee Lo is all of those things listed on the cover, more or less, but he's also a really amazing SINGER. It's the thing he does the very best of all. Sheesh.

If Zooey Deschanel is this generation's Sissy Spacek, I feel deeply sorry for this generation.

We moved to the suburbs. But — because the city we had been living in was so expensive most working and middle class families couldn't afford to live in the city center — our kids' school is way more diverse than the magnet schools they would have attended if we had stayed.

In this case, I think the biology claim is specious. Teen girls, especially younger ones, are not optimal biological mothers. Maternal and infant death is higher in those groups. Most are still in puberty at that age, their bodies haven't finished growing yet themselves.

My in-laws are like that. They like to be on the Winning Team (whatever that is) and they hate Losers (again, as they define them).

Big kudos to you for the links. That's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about, and what should be central to the cultural conversation about pedophilia or hebephilia.

What exactly does he think it proves to say that grown men can be sexually attracted to teenagers?

"even students at one of the top institutions of higher learning in the country aren't safe from being physically and verbally attacked for being themselves"

I agree with what you said, but not with 'Louisa' in the article.

People living longer also contributes to the net number of people on the planet - should we stop treating diseases? Stop providing aid to people effected by natural disasters?

Agree. Of course people who don't have children can and do make amazing contributions to the world. But imagining yourself as the savior of the planet and expecting congratulations for it is just...wow...that's a huge ego you have there lady.

When I was a wee gal of 12 or so (in the 80s) I had a "field guide" of dudes that I tittered over with my friends at slumber parties.

Great idea! Maybe we can decorate some plump, fuzzy kiwi fruits and hide them like Easter eggs! I feel like a party planning genius. My son is going to be thrilled when I surprise him with my plans.

He will be so proud of me, taking an interest in his health and eating habits, and my passion for primary research in my community. Should I ask the fathers of his friends to participate when the boys are together? That might set a good example, no?

Perhaps others with husbands and sons of similar height and weight who do not eat yogurt could contribute to a spreadsheet as a control group? My boys have been eating yogurt too long to establish a baseline.

My husband and son eat yogurt every day — they are quite masculine and virile, I'll keep an eye out for shine and swagger and report back.

Also: I'm raising an eyebrow at tying this to the Writer's Strike. What does that have to do with this?

I already gave a comment on the actual substance of the article earlier, so I feel alright about sharing now that the straps/shoulders on all three of those dresses are really weird. I can't take my eyes off them because they're so goofy looking. Did Reese tuck the spaghetti straps of her dress into her pits?

I like the record she made almost 20 years ago. I mostly only listen to two or three tracks from it, but I love those tracks.
