I'm glad they included the scene. They had to - it frames the dynamic of their relationship going forward (I've read all of the Outlander books including the novellas because I'm that much of a nerd), and Claire and Jamie are still referencing it decades later. In the books it wasn't played for laughs, really. But I'm…

I've had the best luck going to the same stylist for on and off 10 years now. Anytime I try to go somewhere else and explain an a-symmetrical bob or something, they mess it up. Go see my hairstylist, boom walk out looking great.

Haha - YES - this was spectacularly terrible advice. First of all, a surplice top is just going to make it look like you're smuggling cantaloupes each in their own separate hammock. It's extremely unflattering, shows way too much cleavage, and makes the boobs look even bigger. Not what we're going for! And the Halter…

Give up the long locks because long hair is a giant pain in the ass I don't know why women bother with all the bullshit products and maintenance and messy hair-everywhere-drain-wookiees that go with it. I think that if all women cut their hair short, we could achieve a whole lot more without the ever-present specter…

There's a happy medium between Mom Hair and I'm Oblivious.

River, Carey, This Flight Tonight, A CASE OF YOU! Basically anything on Blue. And Chelsea Morning.

One time a photo was taken of me and I was doing some fake haughty laugh pose that I thought would be cute. Wrong. I looked like I was simultaneously choking and trying to eat my friend's head. Posing is hard.

Option 3 - stay where you are and work on finding a new job where you do love the cultural values and a better boss?

I'm a PhD student. When I graduate I will be at the top of my field. Great reputation, many publications, countless presentations. HOWEVER, my physical and emotional health has suffered. I spent two years in therapy, took anti-depressants for a year, almost failed out (or so I thought), and gained 40 pounds. It's…

I did the PhD thing in my thirties. Looking back, I should have just gotten an MA. PhDs are a dime a dozen now, it depends what kind of job your thinking of afterwards. For me, I had to leave it off of my resume entirely in order to get back to full-time employment.

Do not do the PhD. It is a miserable living with no guarantee of employment when you leave. Remember: MAs open doors, PhDs close them - your ability to move back to the private sector is greatly reduced once you get the doctorate, and there are far from enough academic jobs for all. The bubble burst is coming soon -…

Everybody with a Ph.D. I've talked to has told me that it's an absolutely miserable experience, usually not worth it, and that I shouldn't get one . . . which kind of just makes me want to get one more. But Option 1 sounds pretty damn good to me. That's what I would pick.

I also like this advice. If you can figure out how to be the boss, and thereby also influence the cultural values of the business (one hopes), and you have a great quality of life — that's definitely worthwhile.

And if you can indulge what you need from academia — i.e., your intellectual side — you'll be surprised at…

What do you plan to do with a PhD that you're not already doing now with a high paying job?

I have to tell you, I would not give it up for a Ph.D. Let's say you get one. It takes five years. So then you're 40.

First I would like to ask, please can we get a genuinely hot Professor Bhaer? Bhaer has a lot of good qualities over Laurie, but it's always sad when you leave a prime piece of Christian Bale for a Gabriel Byrne or a Peter Lawford for a Rossano Brazzi. And maybe if we spent a bit of time with Amy and Laurie in Europe…

Easy with the "albeit in Canada" 's there. The Avonlea and Green Gables tv shows were awesome. They had Coleen Dewhurst as Marilla for crying out loud!

RIGHT?! As an adult I can see how Jo could have been gay, and thus not attracted to him in that way and thus the rejection...but still....I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Laurie as a kid...

Polley is awesome, but nothing can touch the 90's version. It's my go-to comfort movie. It's like the mashed potatoes of movies. And Danes as Beth just....slays me. Every. Fucking. Time.

Meh, I love the 90s version. Christian Bale may be a bit of a rage-a-holic but he is always the one true Laurie to me...to the extent that I am still like "NO, NO, NO, NOOO, NOPE" every time Winona shuts him down.
