I think her rage is pointed in the wrong direction. Instead of blaming the people who are getting plastic surgery, why not, for example, direct that rage to the producers and directors who won't hire women with lines and wrinkles?

I remember in high school (I think, considering my HS was WAY more conservative than my college) reading Ayn Rand because I'd heard people talk about it so much. I never heard much about the substance of her writing, but they way people talked about it made me think I was missing some great author so I figured I…

This is one of those costumes that is for the parent, not the kid.

Maybe he's just a Malthusian. (also a huge sexist, btw.)

I just want to grab her by the shoulders and turn her toward the camera. This is not the time to pose hard, Vicki! Take a cue from the lady in white and try to have a fun moment instead of a glamorous one. Geez. It must be exhausting to never let your *posing* guard down.

My soup thickened so much overnight that I was thinking about repurposing it as a pasta sauce or just pouring it over rice.

I made pumpkin soup this weekend. It was SO good and not at all sweet. Savory and delicious with curry and ginger. ~sounds of stomach rumbling~ Is it too early for soup?

I miss living in Encinitas. I almost got to live on Point Loma. I was all set to move, but then got a great job offer that took me out of state. I still dream of moving back, though it's unlikely to ever be a reality.

I had an advisor who always wanted to meet there for breakfast. At first I was excited because she was paying and I LOVE breakfast. But after the first visit the excitement wore off when I realized there isn't anything good to eat. For a bakery-esque place, their baked goods are lousy. If I can't find a pastry to…

my husband used to use a golf club as a cane when he was young because he didn't want to have to carry an actual cane. but then at one job je was told he wasn't allowed to use it and had to switch to a real cane. granted they work better, but he hates it. today he uses his chair more, but his PT says he should use…

The man doing the flip. That was the only one posted when I responded.

I'm impressed with the dress. It's flattering on all of them. But the shoes are unfortunate.

Best scene in the whole commercial!

And does that mean Grandma and Grandpa are named Grandma and Grandpa? Does this mean that when brother and sister have their own children that they have to name them Grandma and Grandpa? What if they have 2 of the same sex? Then what will their names be? Auntie or Uncle? Does your name determine your future? So…

And how did they know to name the boy Brother if he's the oldest. What if they didn't have a another cub?!

People sent Susan Sarandon's mom hate mail because she did a love scene with Catherine Deneuve in The Hunger.

Let me help.

There's a music festival near where I live and that happens here too. We also tend to get an uptick in panhandlers in the weeks before and after the festival. I'm even starting to recognize them. They are all young, probably in their 20s, and they seem to work together, panhandling in shifts.

Systematic.

Even when it's a 'duh' to most of us, systemic and comprehensive studies can go a long way for making change. Once you can say that no, it's not just an anecdote, but a documented trend it's much harder to argue for a structure that perpetuates that trend.
