Same here. Even a regular hair elastic will slip out of my hair and some I can't even double-wrap. I saw these silicone super-stretchy ties at the drug store the other day, so am planning to try those.

Cheezies are good - esp. because of the crispy factor - but they don't have that hint of blue cheese flavor.

Perhaps we can set up some sort of exchange program - our Salsa Verde Doritos for your Cheese Pleesers, which we can't get here (at least on the west coast. Border Control always looks at me funny when I come back from Vancouver with four or five giant bags of these in the back of my car.)

I started babysitting at 12, too, and worked my way up to specializing in "difficult" kids (developmentally disabled kids, one medically fragile kid, and a set of triplets who liked to gang up on me and force me to sing and dance along to Annie every. damn. time.) Now, my friends with kids will hire a 16- or 17-year…

So, do these "enzymes" have any teeth-whitening properties? Asking for a friend.

My college roommate and I got a house share with a few friends our second year. She hadn't been the greatest roomie. For example, I woke up to her having sex in our shared room a few times, even after told her not to do that. She once sent her drunk high school friends into our room to put one of their passed-out…

I assume it was to dry the liquid stitches, which are essentially SuperGlue. But I could see this as a meet-cute scene in a RomCom.

How about "you know, I've always had a thing for redheads" as if that makes you a unique buck-the-trend special snowflake? I hate that.

A fried of mine took his Econ class at Pepperdine the same year that Ferris Beuhler came out - he was a creeper then, has not changed.

Feven & HRHDuchessNapsalot, you are each personally responsible for the coffee splatters on my screen. Thanks Obama.

Can we do a Lunchtime Poll on which movie you do next? Because it should be Forrest Gump.

At my old-style fine dining restaurant in college, once night two men arrived. My coworkers exclaimed. " it's Mr. ___ and Mr. ___ Lastname!" The twin brothers hadn't been in for a few months, since the final illness and death of their mother, with whom they'd lived their whole lives. Kind, quiet men, I waited on them…

For any Washington State women who work for these companies and make less than @$15/hour, the fab writers at Seattlish have the low-down on Washington's free birth control program:

Ed Hardy for Lenox?

Exactly. If I had donated eggs in my early 20s, I would have then been completely unaware of my family history of diabetes or pernicious anemia. those health issues didn't arise in my parents' generation until they & their siblings were in their 50s.

It was 1994 and I had just moved to a new city to start my life as a Grown Ass Woman. My roommate turned me on to these new things "AOL" and "chat rooms" and I soon joined a "chat" with others in my new city. While chatting with this one cool woman about my interest in finding a job in advertising or law, she…

As a former Catholic, I can't think of a single practicing Catholic in my extended family who would find that offensive. Catholics love to poke fun at the Church.

Damn, I wish I had a photo of my ass at my sister's first wedding, 20 years ago next month. My dress was super cute and my 25-year-old ass was amazing.

I know one thing for certain about this book - I am going to read it, probably while on vacation, hopefully on a beach or in a hammock.
