My two cents: It depends on how things sit. If you have a modest (but not huge) chest and something of a waist, they look great. If you're bottom-heavy, they can look good, too. Basically, the "pear shape" looks good in a wrap dress. An hour glass that is proportional can also look good, but the "apple" shape…

But again, keep in mind that I "log in" every time I log into Gmail, and you could consider it "doing something" when it loads up G+ in the Gmail sidebar. If G+'s user base really had increased that much, there would actually be people over there for me to friend and follow. Instead, it's a dead zone. Only my…

+1 for DocuSign. We used it for house buying also, since I had moved to our new state and my husband was still in our previous state. It was awesome. If you don't create your signature using a tablet or touch device, it gives you all sorts of cool fonts to choose from for your signature. I *wish* my signature…

Did that. Still not there.

Whenever my relatives ask me for advice on what brand of laptop to buy, the first thing I tell them is to go to a brick and mortar store or two with a good selection and try typing on all the keyboards. Start with the smallest display size that they think they want and then move up if desired. The goal is to figure…

When trying to decide on a game to play, we often use a similar technique called "swing an axe". You nominate or bring up N+1 games, where N is the number of people in the group that will play. Then, each person eliminates a game (swinging the axe) until you're left with the one that is the least objectionable by…

So, you're basically saying that every human quality is either "a health benefit" or "not healthy"? So, being black, hispanic, male, or short, for example, is a health risk, because statistically, those groups tend to be more prone to certain diseases and live shorter lives? I'm guessing redheadedness is a health…

Actually, I am. You just keep ignoring those arguments and only responding to the ones you wanted to argue with. Either way, you're ignoring evidence that contradicts your own worldview, and I'm bored of this. To be clear, I'm not even sure I agree with your categorization of 1/3 of the population as obese.

I'm saying that I believe, based on the evidence I've read and seen, that, for most fat people, being fat is no more of a choice than being tall or short is. However, even if you disagree on that point despite evidence to the contrary (because certainly, there's older evidence that supports your POV), I'm also saying…

Actually, it is precisely true, and a Google for data would tell you as much. What you're suggesting is calories-in/calories-out or "Eat Less, Move Move". No matter what you call it, it's been disproven for long term weight loss. There is no successful method for long term weight loss for most people. Several…

Ah, the old "fat is the same as smoking" chestnut. Are you telling me you believe in some kind of second-hand fatness? If you want to smoke in your home, or with other smokers, or in your car, I have no issue with that, and neither does federal or state law in the US. You get to decide that risk vs. reward for…

Being able to run doesn't automatically make you healthy any more than being thin does. However, excess body fat is not equivalent to "high blood pressure, high cholesterol, et cetera". Being fat is also not a choice. Losing weight doesn't happen for most people, no matter what method they use. It just doesn't. …

The attitude that "community health is everyone's health" is exactly why we can't have nice things in the US. To be more specific, it's the fear that people like you will start dictating how other people should live when/if we implement single-payer health care like the rest of the damn civilized world that keeps…

Quidditch as a game literally makes no sense. It is poorly designed. The snitch is over-valued compared to a regular goal. I think it would be far more interesting if the snitch were flying around all crazy and fast all the time (or perhaps starting at a random point between 0 and 20 minutes into the game), had no…

I unfriended someone who I only knew peripherally from a club we're both in. The reason was related to a Facebook game. She kept showing up in it (apparently she plays a lot) and thus blocking my husband from showing up, and I wanted to play with my husband, not her. As we aren't "real life" friends and she never…

Well, thank you. I *do* rule the seas. (Is 34 old? Eh, I don't care. Old and fat FTW!) And frankly, I'm glad that you're no longer on the seas given your douchey body-shaming photo and your need to post it with your lame comments. How rude. I'll make sure to call forth a never-ending rainstorm the next time you're…

Thanks for the recommendation of Eye in Sky! The usability issues with Accuweather were annoying me, but I love having "feels like" temperatures that seem to be missing from competing apps. Eye in Sky has my "feels like" and has a much better interface. Yay!

There was a photo that went around conservative circles on Facebook and various blogs that made that exact same point, maybe a month or two ago. I don't want to direct link any of them, but if you Google image search "eagle egg abortion", it'll be in the top results. The text at the top of the picture said, "liberal…

Better would be for YouTube to simply frame portrait videos correctly. Consider portrait vs. landscape photos. Those don't bother you, right? Because when you post a portrait photo on the web, there's no giant black space on either side, since there's basically no one that forces a portrait photo into a landscape…

You could always freecycle them. Freecyclers pick up stuff from each other. It's not a sale, and it's not tax deductible, but it's the most convenient way to get rid of things you just don't want cluttering your house anymore. Check http://www.freecycle.org/ to find a list/group near you.
