Wow- I just noticed that FDR is rockin' a cape. BAMF.

That seals it- Barbara Hodge really should be my new best friend.

Ha! I'm slayed over here! You slayed me!

Vonnegut had a character who spent his whole life pretending to be a really, really bad guy for what he thought was the greater good- in the end, it didn't matter who he was in his heart, it mattered what he did in the world. The line "Be careful who you pretend to be." has always haunted me.

OK, once I got over the initial shock of seeing something such a personal moment with a child on the internet... yeah, a kid jumping in the bathtub with their grandfather isn't a big deal.

This is what I'm thinking, too... I mean, why did he have trunks on if he was taking a bubble bath? And why did the girl have trunks on? Is this a family of never-nudes?

I want to live in whatever parallel universe this magazine cover came from, where Mrs. Hodge is thrust into the national spotlight for being awesome at baked ziti and running the shit out of the PTA and we have no idea who Jennifer Lopez even is anyway.

I get someone saying it once- like, out of an immature impulse or something. People say stupid shit. But how can you be told something is offensive and then keep doing it, esp. when you know you're offending your friend? Gross.

Aw... internet hug to you. Thanks for this!

Yes- I honestly found most of these very funny- they seemed to come from a place of genuine surprise at being asked or heartfelt bafflement- but a few times, a line was crossed into "your body is gross because you're a woman" territory. I had a friend who was a gay man and would constantly refer to my "hatchet…

Hi, Frank! I'm adopted, too. And fuck you for turning your birth mother's brave choice into a bludgeon to deny other brave women their choice.

Not gonna lie, that is super hot to me, too and I was raised Catholic. It's not based on any particular priest I knew- I never had a young or hot one, I think I picked mine up from Quills.

It has been proven again and again in countless studies that I'm too tired to look up right now- but seriously, google is your friend- that having a gun drastically increases the likelihood that you and your loved ones will experience gun violence. Just because something is legal doesn't automatically make it a good…

I console myself with the knowledge that there is some designer somewhere who is not Fergie and who just got paid to make some awesome shoes.

Huh- I've always gotten my stuff on sale. But this conversation made me go to her website for the first time and I was floored at the prices. Guess I didn't realize what a deep discount I was getting! I'd still recommend it if you can get a good price, though.

Well, sodas are crazy sweet. If Little Who isn't getting used to really, really sweet bevvies, she'll probably be repulsed by her first sip of coke.

Meh- no one knows what the tag on the inside says. Wear that sh*t and look cute in it, I say- he tops are adorable! Never tried the shoes, though.

My parents' dog- Australian Blue Heeler- will attack running water. Like, when my mom runs a bath, the dog will hear the water, run from wherever she is, jump up on the side of the tub and bark and snap at the water coming out of the faucet, trying to catch it. It's hilarious and adorable.

Do you have dry skin, too? I have dry skin and can honestly go 3 days without showering if I need to- even my boyfriend, who has to cuddle with that, doesn't notice the difference. And when I do sweat, it hardly ever stinks. But I sweat A LOT. My gym clothes will be soaked through but not stinky. On a summers…

Hooray for boobies and hips and thighs and being "not tiny*." I don't universally love all of her stuff, but it's usually flattering to the curvy set!
