@anniemontana: I do know the feeling. Every so often, I'm filled with the pangs of baby want. Especially when I realize how many of my friends are pregnant. I try to settle myself by squeezing my dog. Not the same, even if he is small and cute.

My mother once mused that it'd be really nice to set up something so that old gay people got to be grandparents to kids who either didn't have grandparents or whose grandparents lived far away. What's not to like about old gays, she reasoned. They're unlikely to have their own children, they often have a bit of money,…

What is wrong with these people?

@Nancy Sin: Hark A Vagrant: [harkavagrant.com] (And that particular comic is called facebook: [harkavagrant.com])

@tinyalice: My favorite brand for shoes that can go the distance and still look nice is Merrell. My first pair were hiking shoes, and then I snapped up a pair of mary janes on sale at Macy's. Extremely comfortable and supportive. I can't find exactly what I liked at Macy's, but this ([www.merrell.com]) might be…

@Gigi: So my father's last name is Spanish, and I was named for my paternal great-grandmother, so I am very white, but with a Spanish sounding name.

@jemandtheholograms: I think that is the core of my weight loss issues (and or weight gain issues): I cannot cook worth a damn.

@velcrosneakers: Buy nice jeans. A well-tailored pair of dark-wash jeans pass in the office very well. Also, look for some comfortable twill slacks. Women's Dockers are great, actually. Find some that really fit comfortably and you won't miss your jeans.

@LaFemme: Also, keep in mind that NO ONE KNOWS WHAT SIZE YOU ARE.

@Virginia(formerly Jen)loveshercurves: When I stood in my friend Erin's wedding, we told the bridal shop (David's Bridal) that we needed them to order the correct sizes because we were going to pick them up the weekend of the wedding.

@redhead_runner: This is me and my siblings, too. Holidays are really the worst. We're sniping at one another, and it makes my parents crazy. Yet, on some level, it doesn't feel like family otherwise.

I kind of love tattoos — on other people. They're beautiful and brilliant in many cases, and I really like looking at the artwork that other people have chosen. Yes, some of them are not very good. Some of them have no real redeeming artistic value. But many of them are really nice.

@Casquivana: Honey, if you end up in New Orleans, the food here will increase the circumference of your thighs without much effort on your part.

@Jennipop: My mother to newly pregnant friend of mine: "Oh, honey. It's fine to drink a little when you're pregnant. Why, I had pina coladas all the time when I was pregnant with Tributary!"

@gold lion: If you admit to a hair professional that you blow dry your hair upside down, they will give you a horrified look. I know this from experience.

@karmasutra är svensk: I like both at the same time. Then, when my tampon is done, I've got a pad waiting and ready to go! Eliminates leaks, too, and I never have to sneak anything to the bathroom.

"I love women" should be read as "I love sticking my dick into things and I'm totally not gay."

@Peptidoglycan: I totally could have had a baby at 14, too! I mean, if my mom were willing to raise it.

When I see Crystal Renn in an advertisement wearing something that makes her look frumpy, I know to steer way clear.

@PrincessSassypants: In 1997, I was an 18 year old freshman in college. One of my new besties was S., who had been homeschooled in a very conservative Christian household and who had those sorts of ideas about sex and marriage. And she met a guy named Mike at church. And he was like 22 and totally a Nice Guy.
