@MissMoneypenny: All I'm saying is that people who take the entire year don't sound like they take their career all that seriously.

@fluffybudgie: Taking a year off hurts your career. It slows down your climb up the corporate ladder. Also, you could go back to the office to find a co-worker your supervisor. You could find out that you've lost clients over the year, or that they were assigned to someone else. Basically, you aren't guaranteed the…

@fluffybudgie: 1 year is way too long. I once had an argument with a woman who totally believed that a year was not even enough. Thing is, she's a teacher. It doesn't matter if you take a year off, since you get a new set of kids when you come back, anyway. In any other organization, a year is much too long and not…

According to IMDB, I'm taller than Danny DeVito! The guy is 5' tall...daughter must be around 5' as well?

@ShanaElmsford: I guess they paid ahead of time, rather than waiting until the prototype doll was done.

Seventeen was cool and a "real" fashion mag for teens when I was in high school back in the 90s, but from what I understand, it's more like InStyle...lots of celebs, with just some fashion advice.

She *STILL* hasn't cut off that boy's hair? He looks like a mini 1980s heavy metal singer.

SATC II? I thought the story ended. I mean, don't they live happily ever after now?

@laurasaurus: 8-12 UK is about the same size as 4-8 US, give or take. The general rule is to take away 2-4 numerical sizes when converting. Hope this helps!

@Archetype: Zara and H&M have small sizes, but they do not have petites. Canadian stores that carry petites are pretty much limited to Laura Petites and Reitmans. Some Banana Republic stores in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver carry petite sizes as small as 00P though.

I'd think 4'10-5' at the same weight would have been a better choice. Better yet, put them on the drivers' side. Not too many petite women are under 4'10".

How does encouraging Asian students (whom I assume are foreign) to adopt western names helping? If they have foreign accents, they'll still have foreign accents. Even Asians who were born and raised in an English speaking country can have speech patterns that are distinctively Asian (e.g. women with very…

I was at a wedding this weekend and the flowergirl was like 2 years old. She didn't know what she was doing and started screaming! I think 2 is too young to be a flowergirl.

The Anglican Church of Canada has had women bishops for over a decade. The first woman bishop in Canada is an alumna of my high school.

Re Justin Long's new relationship status: Hi! I'm a Mac and I'm single :(

Not sure if I want to spend $75 on a metro anime boyfriend.

@layladylan: An English teacher I had in high school met John Irving when he was researching for Owen Meany.

I wrote to Brendan Fraser when I was in middle school because I thought it was cool that he went to an all guys' school in Toronto (I went to an all girls' school in the same city). That same year, I wrote to Andrew Shue (Billy from Melrose Place). I never heard back from Brendan, but did get an autographed B&W pic…

I really love Claudia's dress! So simple, yet so chic :)

Friends movie? Would it be The One Where Chandler, Monica and The Twins Move Back to The City?
