I was really sick With stomach flu and when my dad tried to get him off my bed, my serene, loving patient golden growled at him and gave him the stink eye as he climbed on me and laid on my tummy. He's my best friend.

I blame Todd Palin for this, somehow.

Someone tried to rob me late at night on my porch, obviously he didn't see my dog sitting at my feet, she attacked him and saved my life. I stood there completely frozen while she bit him repeatedly and chased him up the street. I lost her to cancer a little over a year ago and I miss her every single day. So yeah,…

So, not remotely the same thing, but I got the death flu in December and it lasted for a ridiculously long time. I was too sick to leave the house (except for slow, short walks when my housemate wasn't there to take the pup out) for weeks, and too sick to leave the bed for a long stretch, with several recurrences. And…

I think Taylor and Karlie have established a new upper limit for whiteness... their whole adventure has gotta be at least 8.8 gigahonkies.

with her rep adding that the lovebirds are "very happy."

Is his hair pretty? I think it looks ratty.

Yikes. This just reminds me of leopard print trapper keeper folders. The colors, blocked and stacked, it's just awful.

This is very distressing news. Shaming formula feeding moms is my primary source for validating my choice to breast feed and causing stress and guilt for new mothers with my harsh judgements.

I was really relieved and happy when I read this. I have an 18 month old that I breastfed for 4.5 months and I hated every moment of it. I loved giving her a bottle but I really really hated breastfeeding. I always felt very claustrophobic when I breastfed her for some reason but kept at it because "breast is best"!…

Her boobs... they make me weep. I'm not sure if them boobs are store bought or what but I can say as someone a year younger than her it makes me sad that I have the boobs of a 40 year old with 2 kids, which is not to say they aren't awesome and that 40 is old, but you know... I have no kids and I'm 24. My mom had…

I remember seeing this when it came out, and being delighted when it was clear that Phil was going to take more then a handful of tries to work out what was going on. Not one, not two, but uncountable tries. I felt like I was really seeing something new. A new way to tell all kinds of stories—love story, adventure…

I think it is worth noting that Phil (Murray's character) doesn't ultimately win over Rita until he has become comfortable with himself and accepted himself; he no longer needs her or her affection to fill a hole in his identity or accept him in a way he is unable to do so for himself.

A close personal friend of mine was influenced by that film to quit drinking and turn his life around. That movie helped save my friends life. It wasn't the only thing that influenced that change but it inspired him to take a step back and examine his life choices and how his behavior and actions impacted the people…

Another one:

Vaccines can fail - this is one of the reasons why it is so important for EVERYONE (who is capable) to get vaccinated - "herd immunity." If 1 in 5 of a vaccine is ineffective, the fact that those other 4 people didn't get it will help protect patient number one.

I heard on the news today (but I haven't seen this elsewhere or tried to verify it elsewhere) that only 5 of the 25 had been vaccinated against polio. Comparatively, if that is true, that's a lot of kids who weren't vaccinated that wound up with it... so it seems like it could very much be related to the anti-vaccine…
