Dear Jezebel,

If you haven't talked about getting married before that moment then yes, but I don't think that is generally the case. I usually find proposals to be very thoughtful and sweet.

Oh my god! You totally reminded me of this. So one time, when I was single, I somehow ended up crashing at this dude's place. I went to the bathroom to change my tampon and didn't want to leave it there so I wrapped it up and put a used tampon in my purse. Ridiculous, I know. Then me and tampon purse went back to…

O_O;....

Whoever just leaves a tampon unwrapped is not the owner of a cat or a dog. You just have to clean that mess up once to learn that lesson *gag*

Seriously. $300 on a belt? BFD. I've spent $300 at Target in one sitting on cheap shoes and decorative pillows. Hell, I've spent it in the drug store on Revlon and nail polishes. It's nobody's business how we spend our money, no matter how foolishly.

People: commenting on the cost of the belt or the look of the belt is really not important. Stop. It would be the same as if I got arrested after I bought a $300 video card at Fry's just because of my ethnicity. There are plenty of things that we can judge people for spending $300 on if we're dicks.

I'm glad Lena cleared that up. It is really important that people who suffer from mental illness know that there is no shame in using whatever means necessary (okay, not illegal drugs/alcohol) to get your mind in balance.

Yeah, there was an article. It's so absurd I can't even be mad though. I just laughed hysterically. Like yeah guys, go with that one. No hypocrisy there.

Or we could just do away with matching bridesmaids dresses, which are a weird tradition anyway. I'm not sure why several women wearing the same color became the best way to frame a wedding or decorate wedding party photos, but it's just odd. Your wedding, and its photos, will be perfectly lovely even if they are…

Or... why not get rid of the idea of mandatory matching expensive bridesmaid's dresses?

When I was 14 my dad sat me down for one of the most uncomfortable conversations of my life where he covered drinking, drugs, and sex. One of the most important things he said? "No means no, period, end of story. If you think no might mean yes remove yourself from the situation because it can't lead to anything good."

Beware the child that has tee totaling parents and doesn't drink in High School. I was a total goody goody nerd in HS, then I got to college and was all FREEDOM!!! If she thinks her daughter is going to be all pure and shit because she herself doesn't drink she might be in for a rude awakening. As to the rest of…

I loved Teeth. It was seriously the funniest movie of the year, with spot on satire and a great engagement with monster movie clichés. It was horribly marketed though.

I would really like for one of the congresspersons to agree to the conscience clause in exchange for a bill requiring:

And leave my uterus - MY UTERUS - out of your job, too, thank you.

Agreed. I will also add pockets in addition to vaginas and extend that to ALL dumbfuck politicians. Must be nice to have a job where you can consistently fail and not be fired. Not so much for the rest of us...

Why must people criticize other people's management of their mental disorders? It's one thing for Lena to say meditation works for her, but to say she's "thankful" she wasn't put on meds suggests going on medication is harmful. This attitude is all too common; I've dated guys & had friends who had depression or mood…

Jean Harlow. Scary stuff.
