Small consolation, but some of these 20-something and 30-something fat-shamers will be singing a different tune when they get older and their metabolisms slow down. Not everyone over 40 gains weight, but a lot of people do.

Someone did this to me the other day — fake coughed, and waved his hands around frantically trying to disperse the 'smoke.' What the guy didn't realize was that I wasn't smoking a cigarette; I was vaping on an e-cig. He was at least eight feet away from me, and I doubt that my exhaled vapor aggravated asthma or…

Beuverie Express? If I was going to open a bar right now, that's what I'd name it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks, Jolie. I'm in NYC, so you'd think it would be easy to find anything here! (Just occurred to me that maybe they carry it at Gracious Home.)

Jolie, where do you find bluing?

Tipsy is when you're just (obviously) feeling the effects of the alcohol. When it's really obvious (at least to you), then you're smashed. When you're slurring, not walking straight, or saying or doing totally embarrassing things, that's 'shit-faced.'

I'm guessing she had some natural advantage going into this. (Clearly, she was already in great shape.) I know people who've taken regular dance classes for years who haven't gotten anywhere close to what she can do in the first month.

I'm trying to decide which part of Tyra Banks's tweet is most annoying: referring to herself in the third person, or calling herself TyTy. (Protip to Tyra - neither is cute once you hit the age of, oh, ten or eleven.)

Thanks, rokobang. I used to be a contenduh! (By which I mean, ya know, that old star thing) but I suspect I contribute too infrequently under this new, post-hack user name.) Still, thank you for reaching out into the gray and starring your paler cousins!

Please don't lump all of us grays together!

The Man-Child breaks up with you even though the two of you are not in a relationship. He cites his fear of settling down. You don’t want marriage, at least not with him, but he never thought to ask you.

And yet, it could have been worse. I mean, imagine if Tracy's pedicurist had told her that she needed a bikini wax.

I bought a new TV last week after having done some serious online research. Was wavering between a Samsung and a Sony, and decided on the Samsung based on price and a friend's recommendation. Once I'd got it installed, I was amazed at the clarity and beauty of the picture. But something was bugging me. The picture…

I've seen cash gifts at weddings but always heard that that was the pinnacle of tackiness. Which is not to say that I had any objection to the cash gifts I received at my own wedding.

I've been a huge admire of James Gandolfini's. And am very sad that he died. But am amazed at your post.

I read the piece you linked, and while I thought it was great I did have one issue with it.

I've been wondering if at the end of the books seven of our leads will come together and represent the seven gods.

Some people have that experience when they first go low-carb. A cup or two of bouillon per day fixes that. But even if you forego the bouillon, you start feeling better in a week or two.
