Well, part of it is exposure. American see/hear far fewer British shows, movies, radio programs, etc. than visa versa. I think that's a shame, but I'm a big Anglophile. Also, as other pointed out, just as there are some British dialects that takes my ear a bit to attune to, there are some American dialects that I…

I'm right there with you. I LOVE my seltzer and a very certain and inexpensive brand of bottled water because (unlike tap and most bottled water) it has this smooth non-mineraly taste - sort of like Evian. I recycle. And don't own a car or use CFCs, and I compost so I feel ok with my carbon footprint, so suck it,…

I had no idea there was such a thing. I'm currently saving up for a down payment on the house, so I will be sure to leave room for this miraculous-sounding steam washer and dryer!

As a person who's currently just about ready to make the jump into trying to make a child (who knows if that'll happen - I'm trying to prepare myself for being ok with either turn-out), this list terrifies me. None of it was very enlightening, but then again, I'm an aunt and have seen lots of child-rearing close up,…

Perfectly said. Also, huge ::eyeroll:: to the OP. Swift's ignorance, and yours OP, is embarrassing. It's reductive and damaging to the REAL issue of ACTUAL slut-shaming.

YES! I had that same thought re Molly Ringwald. Weird.

Swoon...indeed! But I do wonder what was going on with his hair. It was like they just threw some peroxide to the top layer of his hair and the underneath it was still his Sherlock brown.

I have yet to watch any of his interviews. But it sounds like he's even more appealing than his characters. I must get on that.

Yes, please!

The Travelocity Gnome? Boo! No, it's the adorably awesome and original Amelie Gnome.

I'm a migraine sufferer so I commiserate with other migraine sufferers by sharing horror stories.

I never saw Shia "cute" and/or "promising" because I caught him on the first/second (?) season of Project Greenlight and he was an entitled little shit. I really can't stand him. I guess I have a really low threshold for obnoxious, self-important actors because, once upon a time, my job consisted of wrangling…

Thanks, Aimee!

My problem with exercise isn't that I hate it or that I lack the aerobic capability of doing it, but that I don't know how to sustain a healthy exercise regiment. When I exercise, I don't know how to take baby steps to build up endurance. I just dive right into the deep end and it's just not sustainable. I either…

I'm also a worrier, but I will try to take a lot of the over-the-top rules with a grain of salt. I plan to just use common sense and do things as I normally would (plus a cut back on the tiny amount of imbibing that I do). BUT, and I actually haven't looked into this with great depth, but I think I need to take the…

Hi Aimee, what are your thoughts on the advances of the prosthetic limbs that have sensory capabilities (are connected to a person's central nervous system)?

I missed out on the scholarships, but I did go to a good state school (and graduated with under $20k of loans) and did more than a handful of internships, but sadly they were all unpaid and when I did land paying gigs there were barely for living wages. So, my choice was then, if I wanted any kind of career in my…

I can attest to the loveliness of white sapphires. I'm a big fan of the one I bought and it was a fraction of the cost of a diamond. Yay for low demand!

I love that my query has spurred so many responses because I'm really interested in every and all theories. Also, I'm avoiding work.

I've definitely seen this. I have a friend who has a speech impediment that gives him a twisty sort of English accent. Almost everyone he meets thinks he's from the UK.
