Tsunami of menstrual blood....no way.

Anyone have a picture of this rapist so that other women who live in the area can run the other direction when they see him?

Dermatologist. And avoid dairy. It worked for me.

Ugh, my step mother-in-law got into it about this very issue. I'm born and bred New England, and she described me as cold and distant. I said her Tennessee manners were fake. I've never observed this "southern hospitality" everyone keeps talking about. All I find is pretentious liars.

Haha, I have a 'Fred Armisen on the subway' story too! Its pretty much like yours only he was wearing huge ass headphones.

I saw Fred Armisan on the subway. He was wearing these huge ass headphones. Thats all.

I hope you win.

I met Bill Clinton, and he asked me a question and my answer was a lie (It was at a book signing and he asked me if there were many people left behind me, and there wasn't but I said, "Yeah, its still pretty long."

I think I'd feel more self-conscious about only having one painted nail, than actually thinking I don't deserve to wear nail polish. I hope that's what you really meant. I know thats not the point of this story, but that part seemed a little put-upon.

Also, Christmas is in the summer...your argument is invalid.

I'm in the same situation, and what's worse is I live in Florida and there is hardly anyone my age in my beach town besides service workers who always end up having the opposite schedule than me. My last three good friends moved away. Any new friend I try to make end up being flakey or a druggie or god-forbid…

I always favored the thought, "You don't have a soul, you are a soul. You have a body." Its somewhat spiritual, but I like to think it's about being so very much more than mere flesh and bone, and in the end its only temporary.

Eh, my first puppy was from the pound, and the shelter did not tell me he had serious health issues (hell, they had so many dogs, they probably didn't know). Anyway, it took 2 years and bi-weekly trips to the vet to finally get him to a point where he could eat solid foods and not look like he had mange. It was not…

I was really happy to hear you were on Fresh Air! Congrats on your new book and the accompanying accolades. Its well deserved!

This is the best reason I've read so far.

Hawaii white boy bros don't like to wear shoes.

You're talking about Diane Rehm. When I first started listening to her show, it bothered me, too. But her questions are so poignant, and she doesn't let anyone off the hook, and I think her pacing helps her listeners understand the content of the discussion (at least for me). It's very steady, too. Hers is one of my…

I don't think he cares one way or another what I do with it after we're officially married, but I'm not one for fancy jewelry anyway. I'm OCD checking it constantly that its still in its setting. My friend lost the diamond out of her Cartier ring because she didn't have it maintenanced. She didn't care because she…

My ring is a family heirloom, too. It belonged to my fiance's great grandma. I love it, but as soon as we get married, its going into the safety deposit box. I love the cut; its an old cut (or so the jeweler says), and I'm extremely fearful of it being stolen or lost. Which brings me to my proposal. I knew I was…

I, too, am excited for this! I am going to make sure my commute passes a DD on Monday.
