Have you considered Fertility Awareness Methods? They involve some periodic abstinence and/or use of condoms during fertile time, but the majority of your cycle you are fine for unprotected sex. It's not for everybody, and it works best when you have an invested partner, but it works fantastically for my husband and…

Yes, yes, yes, YES. In middle school, my BFFs and I each had a glorious set of milky pens, and we circulated a black-paper notebook constantly, like a round-robin journal. The entries consisted mostly of boy gossip and elaborate doodles. Those were the halcyon days of youth...

Indeed he is, so I'm pleased I got him locked down. Justin is still up for grabs though!!

D'awwww, I love Justin Long and have forever (though I'm probably biased, as he's my husband's celebrity doppelganger). Good for him for using his fame to support an on-site, obscure, and deserving charity!

These are great tips — thanks!

I read that as "If you are dining at an establishment where tipping is customary..." rather than "If you decide to tip at a tipping establishment...". For instance, I don't always tip at Chipotle, but I always will when I'm at a sit-down restaurant. Either way, you'll save money by not eating out at all.

I know this can and does work, but what if there's only one cable provider in your area and you don't want to ditch cable altogether? Kind removes your leverage...

I'm as guilty of this as anyone, and part of the problem is likely that, as a very conflict-averse person, I've internalized that constant "Use I-statements, not you-statements" dictum about having arguments. E.g., I'm not saying anything about you or attacking what you're saying. I'm just expressing my own…

Whenever my husband and I are plastered, generally at least one of us will announce, "I drank a lotta booze, ma. ...Happy Mother's Day."

Weird standardization of body size/shape aside (seriously, all of them are identical), Red's power-walking outfit is all kinds of adorable.

I loved that moment! Such an authentic reaction.

Yup, the cheaper the vodka, the more likely that they've had to filter it a million times to get out all the gunk they distilled it with/from. The plastic jugs on the bottom shelf are basically rubbing alcohol — which is great for cleaning!

Yeah, I agree that this sounds like product buildup, which might be interacting with your natural scalp oils and sweat to create ickyness. Definitely try a clarifying shampoo to use periodically (NOT every day), and paradoxically a harsher daily shampoo can provoke your follicles into producing more oil, so depending…

That would be awesome, except I don't have my own washer and am not wasting valuable quarters on two items every day.

Exactly. Gorgeous dress that's competing terribly with complicated, visually busy hair. Get it up and out of her face. Something sleek and simple that won't draw attention from the amazeballs dress and her very pretty face.

Mmm, Kinja. Probably my fault — sorry!

Oh man, I think so! I had forgotten about that!

Ahhhhh, the Cornfield! Was there ever such amazing wank as that produced by the Harmonians? I really, truly miss watching the meltdown.

Sorry — there's two separate issues here (I'm not familiar with TMI and haven't paid attention to CC for years, so I'm going off of other comments on this article). Problem 1 is that, when CC was active in fandom and fanfiction, her very well-known and extensively read fanfictions contained extensive, often…
