When I watched What Women Want, I became furious with my (then) boyfriend because he expected me to actually tell him what I was thinking and what I wanted. Shouldn't he have just read my mind? Now, of course, I'm really REALLY glad that most men aren't Mel Gibson.

I can't be the only one thinking it.

I went through a period of depression, and I remember my therapist telling me that although technically, women were three times more likely to be depressed than men, she thought the actual rates of depression were probably the same. It's just that men typically externalize their depression and it looks like anger,…

@MoonCat82: Likewise, I don't think girls are really allowed to be angry. At least, we're not allowed to demand change in others. I know that usually when I get mad or frustrated, it turns inward. I am actually aware of the moment when "you're not doing what I asked you to" turns into "there must be something wrong…

Ugh. I'm sorry. I'm lucky that the homophobic Facebook statuses I see are not generally people with any kind of authority. Is her troop old enough that you could suggest some sort of workshop about sexual diversity? Actually, a better idea is probably a tolerance workshop that's not specifically about sexual…

I think for a while at least they were Mormon, but I may be misremembering Penn and Teller (and when my brother was a scout).

@ann_athema: To be fair, it's Boy Scouts that is homophobic and Christian (specifically, Mormon, but they only really have a problem with you if you're atheist). The Girl Scouts as an organization doesn't have that problem. You daughter just had the misfortune of getting an asshole troop leader.

@marciax3: Do you have access to Trader Joe's? They have a lot of frozen appetizers that are both yummy AND delicious. Spanikopita, bacon-wrapped scallops, little mushroom things, all just take out of the freezer and bake.

@LucianaMarigny: I was planning on going to the LA one, but they don't even have a permit so we have to stick to the sidewalks? WTF?

Ambition is sacrifice. Financial security, health, "free" time and even romance, all sacrificed in the name of a goal that has to happen, because the only alternative is failure.

How did she get a copy of my cover letter?!?

Our ads highlight the often trivial nature of stuff on Groupon when juxtaposed against bigger world issues, making fun of Groupon. But it's not all trivial, and it doesn't have to play that way. I just bought my first Groupon last week. It's been years since I've had health insurance, and a dentist in my area is…

@yourestillinadream: I third QoB.

@GunwallsLizzie: That is both awesome and horrifying. Like how my friends played "No Children" at their wedding and had everyone sing along.

So I need to find a man who talks like a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

@Hey, Boo Boo: Brilliant. And... hearted.

@lolly71: The school was celebrating its mariachi group advancing to state

I don't understand. I clicked through to the source article, and I still don't understand.

@Hotpants McGee: I wish we could just lay blame on children. Have you seen Pandora bracelets? They're silver charm bracelets, except that the "charms" are actually beads you slide on and they often just look like beads. Like, "My new one is blue glass!"

@RisaPlata: Also, JFK had osteomyelitis.
