@Ruby_de_la_Booby: I was relieved he did. It's unfortunate it took a disaster like this for us to consider the implications of off-shore drilling.

@philstwohearted: i was excited to figure out i could find out where that orange sweater is from.

I don't remember when I started to wear makeup. I know I wore some makeup in high school, but mostly a little blush, a little mascara. I think the makeup thing must not have been that big a deal to me or I might have stronger memories. But I loved painting my nails and decorating them with all that crap you can…

@philstwohearted: click on the picture and you will be redirected to polyvore where you can click on the item and get the info! it's brilliant!

They also have a lot of mannequins with large butts in Miami. Which I find amusing but also kind of appreciate.

@Lirael: I'm really surprised they wouldn't let you have water. I've never heard of that before at any yoga class/studio I've been to.

@WaffleCopter: I love this about yoga too. My favorite instructor was the one who said the least flexible people are the ones who get the most out of yoga. Some people are naturally flexible and can just fold themselves in half with no effort. As she explained it, they have to work a lot harder to get any benefit…

@Biologeek: I've honestly never gotten a lecture like that from any of my yoga instructors, and I doubt they are all vegan hippies.

@elisa: I keep a nail brush in the shower, and spend a few seconds every morning just brushing it back and forth across my fingertips to get under the nails. Usually cleans them out. I also get all kinds of stuff under my nails during the day, and will use the file part of my nail clippers to clean them out. But…

@AmosTrue: @nakadika_shiksa: I agree completely with everything you both said, especially regarding the responsibility of western nations (and especially the US) for the ever increasing consumption problem. I was responding to the initial comment which specifically said "overpopulation isn't the problem." Part of…

@AmosTrue: Except the larger the population, the greater human consumption. And human population continues to grow, so I'm not sure how you can separate the two.

@TheRoyalWe: I just buy large jars of pre-minced garlic in olive oil. I haven't minced garlic in years.

Heide's wearing Emilio's Project Runway dress! Except shorter. To bad they lopped off that long skirt, but I guess that was too formal for the event.

@cocobanal: And probably reckless driving or something similar. I mean, I think it's a minor crime only carrying a fine.

I have three friends who work for the same abortion-rights organization, one of whom is writing a book about abortion and trying to get it published. So yeah, they are out there.

@raineoffire: my eagle scout boyfriend and i are both craving iphones. but maybe he's not a real boy scout since he doesn't seem to have enjoyed the experience too much.

@JoStockton: you should meet my boyfriend and his blackberry.

@ragincajun67: Yes, it disturbs me that they appear to have given the adult Violet a nose job, since neither of her parents have that nose. Also she looks much older than the 20 years they supposedly aged her.

@eclare09: It's a shame a lot of law firms are doing away with this in light of the current economy. This, along with the very public discussion of salaries, is the only way to be sure, as a women, that there's some fairness in the system. I appreciate the government's clear payscale for that reason as well.

@NefariousNewt: I wish I could re-heart you. Way to speak reason to the unreasonable.
