I just visited that bathroom in Bloomingdale's this past weekend...and ended up buying a t-shirt for my boyfriend. I wouldn't have gone into Bloomie's otherwise, so clearly it's in their best interest to have that bathroom. (Same with Pearl River Mart (see my comment above))!

Another great bathroom in SoHo is at Pearl River Mart on Broadway, downstairs. And you can pick up some dried shrimp snacks and a bamboo steamer while you're there!

I think it depends on where you live. My younger male cousins, in their early 20s, are more than ready to settle down and one has a kid already. I can see from Facebook that many of my high school classmates have several kids already.

I found this article patronizing too. I'm from a small town in middle America and I knew what the poppies were for when I was a child (my constant re-reading of LM Montgomery probably helped).

I know a family who is naming their kids in alphabetical order... AND all their names are tree names. Alder, Birch, C-something-I-can't-remember, DURIAN (WTF), Elder, Fir...

A fellow 7th grade girl called me Baby Killer for most of that year because I wore a t-shirt supporting the female democrat who was running for governor that year (she was a family friend and a well-know supporter of the right to choose). Good times.

And those of us in NYC can now get cheap(er) cashmere at Uniqlo without having to brave the SoHo madness. Their new store just opened on 5th Ave a few weeks ago. The NYC stores are (I think) still offering an introductory $49 price for a lcouple of different cashmere items. Not quite as nice as my JCrew, but warm,

Thank you for publishing this Jenna! I will never be able to read this or Magical Thinking (too too sad), but I have been wanting to try some earlier Didion for a long time, and you've inspired me to get Where I Was From (I am actually very interested in the history of Californian agriculture) and The White Album.

Yes! I've never forgiven him (or Clare Danes) for leaving Mary Louise Parker while she was pregnant. He's the King of Showmances. Meryl's daughter appeared in Arcadia on Broadway with him. (they were both terrible BTW, they and their horrid fake British accents pretty much ruined my favorite play)

Hunger Games was the first "teen" oriented fiction I'd read in years, and I enjoyed them so much I picked up a few other "teen" books and could not get into them at all. Hunger Games is a league ahead of the others in writing style and maturity.

My sister-in-law did, and it was a huge bummer. She ordered 2 different dresses from one of these Chinese places, neither fit and they were awful. So then she ordered an infinity dress from an Etsy store (giving her measurements and everything), got it the DAY BEFORE the wedding, and it was such a mess that her mom

I worked as a bank teller, and when people brought in rolled coins, we would have to unroll them all to put through the counting machine — it was a huge pain, and we'd always have to remind people next time, don't roll them yourself! Unless the coins were still in the official Fed rolls, we absolutely were not

Boredom was one of the biggest reasons I tried the Shred. Now I work a lot of those squats and arm exercises in at the gym too. I was the opposite — I always do a lot of squats so my toilet muscles were ok, but when I first started, it was a week before I could raise my arms over my head!

I definitely second this. I love the 30 Day Shred DVDs — not technically branded with Biggest Loser, but — Jillian Michaels. I find her workouts to be really well-balanced and when I was doing them every day or every other day (to get in shape for a wedding), I was the strongest I've ever been. These days I can

Ah, memories. My high school boyfriend was also Mormon (god he was cute), and he wouldn't let me touch his penis either. He also always wore a white t-shirt under his shirts, including other t-shirts. I had lots of other Mormon friends but their parents were more recent converts so they were a lot less strict.

I find myself watching it even though I hate the racial stereotyping (and the gay jokes, jesus, Suburgatory is really cute too, but the gay jokes...enough!). Anyway, what I came here to say is, the bartender character that Max had the celery moment with on the show last night... HOT.

I was watching that game — the injury came in the 3rd quarter and at the time he was shown making the call, the crawl on the screen had already said he was sidelined for "concussion-like symptoms."

Haha, I actually made pickled beet eggs at Easter this year (I also love beets). My midwestern grandma gave me the recipe—it had way too much sugar for my taste so I reduced the sugar and upped the vinegar. The eggs were delicious and a gorgeous pink color. Google some recipes, it's really worth a try.

Holy crap, I am doing that TONIGHT. My showerhead is disgusting, and being a vinegar fan, I can't believe I never thought of doing this!

Hells YES. I pour a quarter cup of vinegar down my drains a couple of times a week and before I go on vacation — then flush with hot water. Works like a charm, and no more stinky kitchen sink!
