Really? I married my high school sweetheart (still married), and think the point's a valid one. Doesn't negate the value of my relationship at all.

My 8-YEAR-OLD son asked me last week if I thought Ron and Hermione should have gotten married. He didn't think they should have. He based this only on reading the books. My 11-year-old son chimed in to say he thought Harry and Hermione would have at least been a better match than Harry and Ginny. Then they asked what…

I'm just so damned relieved to see them free and looking healthy and happy.

I gave up on lingerie a long time ago. There's just no point, in my relationship. Low cut tops and short skirts, on the other hand ...

Thank you. It was pretty invasive, and it wasn't so pervasive that I was left thinking "oh, it's just the culture". On the other hand, it was the 90s and some of the parts of China I was in were extremely remote. And I was a lot younger and more oblivious then, so I was more content to just roll with the weirdness…

Yes! Things perfect strangers did to me in China:

I'm not usually that interested in TH, but I confess to having just replayed "exercise in delayed gratification" a couple of times...

To quote The Woman: "twice."

Brazil, Peru, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, China ... I have lived in all of these places and in none of them did toilet paper go in the toilet. I'm pretty sure globally flushing is the exception, not the rule.

k.d. has my undying love, forever. She's the one singer I never sing along with because I feel like my voice is not worthy. Also, so damned hot:

I agree completely - she is gorgeous. I don't know what lipgloss she is wearing, exactly, but CoverGirl WetSlicks Fig Splash looks very similar.

How so? She has gorgeous eyes. The right one (our left) is closing slightly because there's a rainbow prism shining directly into it.

I agree. A big part of being a good lawyer is being precise with language, and that includes grammar and punctuation.

My dad is pretty much the dad from Calvin and Hobbes, so this comes as no real surprise.

My dad swears his friend was 6'6" owned a Datsun Rabbit, removed the driver's seat, and drove while seated in the back seat of the vehicle. No idea if it's true, but I always liked the image.

My husband hasn't used shampoo in 20 years. He showers daily and gives his hair a good water scrub. His hair looks good and smells (to me!) awesome.

I forgot to buy wine. So I will be drinking the tail end of a Pequena Vasija Merlot and a white (forget which one) in the fridge. And watching Supernatural by myself while the rest of the house sleeps. Working my way through the series, and am currently partway through season 7.

I'm with you. I had a fantastic talk over the Christmas holiday with my childhood minister (who is gay, and who married my husband and me) about how we as atheists in a Christian country should teach our children about Christianity and Christ. It's tricky, because while I want them to think critically, I also want…

Ah, my first love. The voice! The looks! The derring-do! I dressed up as Maid Marion on numerous Halloweens thanks to my infatuation with this fox. I was so mad when my mom made me a conical princess hat, instead of one like the cartoon fox Maid Marion wore.

I realized that my pms actually hits around 10 days before the actual period, and gets better about 4 days before the period.
