There was the night I ate an entire box of those deliciously soft frosted sugar cookies, there was the night I ate brownie batter. There was last weekend, when my roommate and I ate a tub of caramel popcorn, a batch of croissants*, and a pint of Ben & Jerry's.

Anyone else spend a second thinking she meant "toothpaste + cum + clay"? No? Oy vey...

When I think of a baby fever, I think of my boyfriend's mom, who did not want children (0 kids she says!), until she got pregnant with my boyfriend, then she produced/adopted 5 more kids. It's like the dog ate her diaphragm and engaged some suppressed part of her brain.

Jezebel didn't mention it, but the CNN article says he "refused to wear loose-fitting shorts because they would slow him down."

I'd buy her a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves :) or any number of similar books targeted towards teens. Or at least give her a couple of websites to reference so when she has questions, she has a reliable source (like planned parenthood, mayo clinic, afraidtoask.com). Also get her hooked on Dan Savage? I like to read,…

Our Bodies, Ourselves has a great article about the hymen online and in their book, and they refer to the hymen as being "disrupted." Thoughts? I'm with you in spirit, although I'm having a hard time thinking of words that don't describe how painful it was for me :) (although I kind of like expunge)

Not too soon! Dan Savage did it back in '05. I still remember reading these as I walked home from school. Glad I didn't have to cross any busy streets!

Yes :(( I had a pretty stubborn hymen so I did a lot of a research when I was younger. If you can get your hands on a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves, I think they have even more "types".

At 17, I was torn between wanting to have sex specifically to break my hymen so I could wear tampons and terrified that I didn't have a vagina to have sex with (because I couldn't insert tampons and those accompanying diagrams are rage-inducingly misleading).

It's been in the high 90s for the past two weeks here as well :( so my full sympathies to you. My tip would be to apply deodorant to the "underarms" of your legs—(aka the top of the inner thigh where it meets the crotch; where your heels would touch if you were sitting cross-legged; where you wouldn't have hair if you…

You're absolutely right—especially about two women of the same size and height weighing differently (for example, I weigh 140 and I have a shorter friend who weighs the same but we're both around the sz 4/6). Still, as another commenter pointed out, if Kate Middleton was 95/105 lbs, she wouldn't be able to walk (her…

"Kate Middleton has "dropped to 95 lbs." Dr. Fred Pescatore, the creator of The Hamptons Diet, thinks Kate looks terribly underweight. He thinks she should weigh 140 lbs., and suspects she weighs 105 lbs. at the most."

I want to tell you how funny this comment is but I can't stop giggling.

"we should remember that the FDLS has a problem with child brides"

I can, uh, vouch for that. Before I knew what gin and tonics were, my dad made them for me as a teenager.

hearted. this plus cotd plus everything you say always.

Last day at work last week, I forgot to wear deodorant and everyone wanted to give me a goddamn hug. And I got there extra early and left extra late, so there was a lot of me and my male boss standing too close too each other and me walking around with my arms clamped to my sides. Le sigh.

I don't think one accomplishment diminishes the other; we can be impressed by the strength of both women.

1. The largest baby ever born...in Texas?! There have been bigger babies elsewhere?!

Just a thing people do, like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes mid-morning, mid-afternoon, and/or midnight snack. Dessert! amirite?
