As a Canadian, my first thought before reading the article was, "cool, and then I could share the beer with everyone who doesn't have a Canadian passport!"

That's probably why I like them so much. Unashamed Klimt fan.

I just want this polish. And most of these clothes.

In 2005 a new friend was gushing about The Notebook and sent me home with her copy. I watched it with an old friend and when it ended we were both like "um... did you... like that? No? Okay, good."

"Build Your Own Malibu Barbie Dreamhouse with lights and working motors, I'd be delighted."

This actually makes me want to run right out and buy a bunch of CH clothes! (surely some of them will work on me?)

"These aren't aphrodisiacs. If you're not turned on by your partner, no amount of tablets will help."

That is scary stuff. To be fair, I've been prone to distraction and procrastination since long before I ever had a drink - all of my life, essentially - but the drinking clearly doesn't help.

The Babysitter by Jane Yolen, if you can get your hands on it. It was in her collection of short stories, Twelve Impossible Things Before Breakfast.

My husband has a fb account for work/professional life, and won't be my fb friend. So, I can't answer your question, but I feel for you?

I have always had petechiae (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petechia) (mine are really small, not like in the picture), and they come and go. I know the wiki makes it sound scary, but any doctor I've ever asked about mine said it's nothing to worry about. It sounds like that could be the thing? If you've been coughing…

I'm a fellow social person, and have done long distance (badly) at times. I've also had male friends with whom I've become emotionally intimate, sometimes to a degree that my partner (or my friends, or society) might not be okay with. When I have truthfully not been attracted to the guy, I've had no trouble setting…

Oh, Tom. If only exercises in delayed gratification were easier ... I am trying to get myself properly disciplined to finish a project by the deadline 9 days from now (and I'm moving, and my husband is going away for work, in between), and so I promised myself I wouldn't drink till it was done. I'm a 2-5 glasses of…

Thank you for my first true laugh of the day.

Ha! Truer words, my friend. Truer words.

"Hey, I said I support you and I had you on my show, so you don't get to call me out when I'm offensive. That's what we call a two-way street, people-who-are-way-less-privileged-than-I-am."

I was more surprised when I discovered HE'S ONLY 44 YEARS OLD. Sorry to yell. I just assumed he was around 55 - 60.

My dad was thinking of building a log house, and our minister knew a guy who had built a log house, so he took us over there to check it out. They weren't home, but the door was open so we went in and waited for them. I was 9. My husband was 8. We didn't exactly connect. Then 5 years later we went to the same summer…

Me either - I kinda thought he was messing with Ellen.

I hate that I'm with him, because he's so often insufferable (funny as hell, but insufferable). But, yes. May the masterminds behind that abomination have ample opportunity to participate in the passion of Jesus Christ before they shed this mortal coil.
