Thank you! No worries: I'm not harassing you for your post - I enjoyed it, and it made my afternoon! I burst out laughing when I read it! And point well-taken, too. I enjoy it when someone uses humor to make an excellent point.

Agreed.

I completely agree with you: this commercial is so cute! And I certainly don't have a problem asking/discussing ethnic heritage; it's fascinating to me. And I don't mind people asking me about my heritage, which is English, Welsh, Scottish, French, and German (whew!). Ethnic diversity is interesting and a cause for…

Yes, of course, overeating can often be a medical condition in the psychiatric sense, especially if the overeating is compulsive; overeaters in this situation are oftentimes unable to respond to exhortations to take personal responsibility for their actions. People who compulsively overeat definitely need some sort…

Wonderful commercial! It's about time commercials depict a realistic view of bi-racial/multi-racial families. The little girl in this commercial is so cute and very sweet - and I like the way she put all the Cheerios on her dad's chest! (I once put ice cubes on my dad's back while he was trying to nap on the sofa.)

In my opinion, I think it is pretty interesting when people discuss ethnic backgrounds. Guess you'll really LOL when I, as a white girl, tell you my background is English, Welsh, Scottish, French, and German! Wheeee!

It's common for some British people to call us Americans "mutts", due to the fact that America is not a racially homogeneous country; lots of us here in the U.S. are ethnically a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Some Brits have referred to me as a "mutt', even though I'm totally white - but I have a lot…

Ms. Zuninga is to be commended for her courage. It's horrible that she and who-knows how many other women in her situation have been sexually assaulted and taken advantage of - but how more horrifying when you consider this happens all the time.

Argh! I'm so sorry you're enduring such a difficult menopause - that really sucks. (And isn't it bizarre how women in the same family can have completely different experiences with menopause?) As rough as this is for you, I hope you can take some comfort in the knowledge that menopause won't last forever! After…

Yes, it's true she wasn't that good of an actress - but she was a beautiful young woman and very sweet.

Agreed. She was lovely.

Sinatra also physically beat the hell out of Mia Farrow during the filming of "Rosemary's Baby"; the film's producer, David Susskind, stated Ms. Farrow showed up for work on the set with "black welts all over her body...bruised from head to foot, with mean red gashes and marks all over her arms and shoulders and…

Really? I've seen "Rosemary's Baby" many times (it's one of my favorite movies), but I couldn't ever recall seeing her in it. Did she appear as an extra in the scene where Rosemary throws a big party? I really don't think so, although I could be mistaken.

Honey, check yourself for real: Jezebel is a public forum, meaning everyone who signs up at Jezebel has the right to comment on any post they want. You don't like that? Too goddamn bad.

If you refuse to participate simply due to a fundamental disagreement, then you are truly narrow-minded.

Ah, insinuating that someone might be "crazy" just because you don't like what they have to say...

Oh, I get it: any time someone expresses an opinion you don't like, you automatically accuse them of "spamming".

Then why continue to comment?

For me, I had very little difficulty with menopause. I had only one experience of a hot flash, and very few episodes of night sweats. The emotional symptoms weren't too bad for me either - only brief periods of crying spells. But then, I've always enjoyed good health. Menopause is just simply another phase of a…
