My calico is an incredibly beautiful cat, but I also really want that can't-stand-it cute slightly fluffy grey cat in the stock photo above. A Russian Blue? Errrgh! SO CUTE!

"It feels like a lot of energy coming through the top of your head. Your whole body is filled with this electric current. And you just start speaking, but you're not thinking because you have no idea what you're saying. Words are coming out of your mouth, and you can't control it. The idea is that it's a language that…

I know. Weird, right? Those use to be my favorite, but I just find them a tad too sweet now. I went all old lady by passing up the samoas and going with the shortbread cookies. When I shared my cookie order with my husband, he was disappointed by the no samoas as well. I'm a bad wife.

Gross! A coworker just circulated his daughter's GS cookie form. I didn't see this new unwelcomed addition on the form, but there was some kind of new berry cookie. I don't believe it was "Nutrifusion" cookie. I ordered Thin Mints (duh!), Tagalongs and Trefoils (? - I think that's what they're called - basically…

Me either. Sad panda.

I have have a vowel in my name that doesn't get dropped but put in the wrong place all the time. My guy and I were just talking about this last night. My sil has a nickname with two double consonants and she gets really upset if someone drops one. We found that kind of silly because it's not even her formal name. …

I've just spent an hour on the phone with my partner (a writer) debating this issue (slowish day at work) He is actually sides more with you. While he did provide some arguments to sway me a bit, I still a disagree when it comes to this particular article. I believe Katie just re-stated a stat without…

Interesting. Being a discerning reader I always consider the source of these re-posted articles. I would never mistake any post on Jezebel (or any news aggregation site) to be gospel. If you have the expectation that every writer/blogger (I'm hesitant to call many of them journalists because, again, this is mainly…

My neurologist, whom I adore, takes my BP as part of my annual migraine exam. I normally gets higher BP readings from me every visit and I explained that I have white coat anxiety. However, this last visit, remembering my WCH, she (unnoticed by me) took of her lab coat when we left her office and go into her exam…

Uh, your ire should really be directed mainly at NYT's Deal book as Katie is just reciting/re-reporting the stat for comparison directly from them. So, how about aiming your far, FAR superior knowledge to William Alden. (GASP! A man!)

I don't remember that one, but it's GOLD! Thank you! HEH!

The "Chicken of the Sea" tweet reminds me of my favorite Jack Handy Deep Thought:

Oh Lindy - ask that old roommate to borrow her/her trades again because Y is really, really good. The perfect comic for loud and proud feminists.

That's great for him, but hardly helpful for folks who have hormone disorders and have already attempted all the tried and true (she says with sarcasm) diet and exercise plans . In other words, your post is a waste of both your and RedBeans' time.

Although out situations are somewhat different, l feel you on the weight and baby catch22. I have PCOS and have gained a good 20 or more pounds (I don't weigh myself much) just the last few years and I'm already on the larger side (and have been most of my life). But oddly my cycles have been evening out for the…

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll have my husband pre-watch it is that he'll know when to skip/FF through the scenes when we watch it together.

So not needed. BLECH!

I want to see Pitch Perfect but I'm told there are vomit scenes. I pretty much avoid any films with graphic vomiting. I did see Bridesmaids but on dvd and I made my husband fast forward through that infamous gross-out scene.

Her eyes are just mesmerizing.

My Dad also has prostate cancer and just finished treatment.
