@najmah: Well, Lisa Frank opened her business in 1979. As one of her original customers, a child of the 80's, I was well past tween by the time 2000 rolled around. Perhaps it was inevitable that she would branch out and adapt to a growing tween market, but it wasn't to keep the attention of the "original" customers.

@bengalgirl: I feel like there's a comment like this every time the discussion of "appropriate" work wear comes up. But not all corporate environments are created equal. I too have worked in corporate law, as have half of my friends, and every office has a different standard of work appropriate clothing for women. …

@curiousgeorgiana: How about these men grow their hair out 10 inches and try to make it through a sweltering summer without pulling their hair back?

@curioushair: You should smile more. You look so pretty when you smile!

@Cactus: Yes, I remember seeing those plates years ago, too. Obviously, even with the ? they didn't expect it to take until 2010+ for the engagement. They're going to have to redesign those plates!

@slightlyhardup: There are lawsuits out there stemming from kids whose feet got mangled as a result of getting their crocs stuck on an escalator. Save your life? Or amputate a foot? Tough call.

@cate3710: @rhoswhen: And some states require a period of formal separation before divorce proceedings can be initiated.

@14Kgold: Yes, it sounds like the church and her family were complicit in trying to "keep it in the [church] family." Which is such a shame since it has the affect of hurting the victim most of all.

@jlpwjh4l: Wasn't that right after the 2000 election? Does it still count as "calling it" if it took ten years to come to fruition?

@mnerd: When you're talking about the violation of a state law, which sexual crimes are, you can't just hand over jurisdiction to another state. The rapist was actually in the state as was the situs of the crime, so New Hampshire needs to retain jurisdiction to prosecute the guy. If the rapist had fled, they could…

@lurkerbynature: Doesn't she have one kid already? A son, I believe. The twins will be her second and third kids.

@Hiroine Protagonist: Well, just because she saw the cameras or recording devices or whatever it was that tipped her off doesn't mean she consented to being recorded. She might have only seen the cameras on her way out, or otherwise been powerless to turn them off.

@mbmargarita: This is a feature called "Crap Email from a Dude" where the site posts ridiculous emails readers have received, usually from a former paramour. The message is: some people suck; let's all publicly mock this anonymous dude.

@AndPreciousLittleofThat:

I don't know about Canada, but that is generally not the way one party consent rules work when it comes to wiretapping laws. One of the parties actually participating in the conversation has to know and consent to the recording - not just the person who decides he wants to record a conversation from afar. I don't…

I want to eat his fuzzy head!

@Imjustnotthatintoyou: @battleaxonista...is a humorless bitch:

@14Kgold: Not to mention the pavement will do a number on your heels. I've had way to many shoes re-heeled just from wearing them out to lunch. Commuter shoes are a must.

@curiousgeorgiana: At my old firm in DC, there were some partners (and relatively high-powered ones) who routinely dressed in colorful and interesting suits. And in some firms in NY, I've heard associates I know gasp at the mere thought of wearing a button-down shirt that is any color other than white. It goes both…

@HannahBethD: And Juno, I'd say.
