My best friend's husband said recently, "Nothing works until it does" re: meeting someone. He and my friend met in law school, which: yay, but I love that they're not smug about it (especially her - she readily acknowledges that her love life was pretty shitty until she met him).

Yeah, I'm fairly sure that it's illegal to ask employees to lie on their time cards - I believe Alison Green at Ask a Manager has advised people to call this out.

She knows how it works; she just assumed people would laud her for being clever and cute. She's only mortified because she got smacked down.

Yeah, I talk about my "family of origin" a lot, and my "pretend niece" (best friend's daughter who lives several states away). If people get stank I say I didn't emerge from the ground fully formed.

Damn, what's he been eating?

Yep, my company is pretty diverse in race, gender, and age at every level except the VPs and execs. There are two female VPs, both childless, gay (they aren't a couple), and late 40s - early 50s. The execs are all male and, with one exception, over 50. Every single VP and exec is white. I'm in my early 30s, black, and…

Kelly Osbourne's bathing suit bottom is too small, I think, which makes her look bigger. (I think that was also at the root of those beach photos on Jennifer Love Hewitt some years ago when every tabloid was calling her fat.)

See, I dislike it when people say "We're pregnant" (it's not just men who do this) because in biological, literal sense, no, only the woman is pregnant. But "We're having a baby" doesn't bug me because both people will have, as in take ownership of, the baby once it's born.

Original Recipe Aunt Viv kicks New Coke Aunt Viv's ass. I watch the clip of her dancing, like, once a week. (And she looks FIERCE in that white unitard.)

For me, it's about use. I legitimately need to buy clothes right now - specifically work clothes. I have a full-time job now but I was un- and underemployed for a while, with some decent-paying contract work thrown in. For whatever reason, my contract work was always in fall and winter so summer was lean, so I have a…

One of my favorite college memories is watching porn with a bunch of friends (guys and girls) and just straight cracking up at how ridiculous the plot was - it involved space travel, I think, and it was so profoundly unsexy. And it took forever to get to the fucking! They took so long to set up the ludicrous plot!

My parents divorced when I was 14 and my brother 10. So on top of the normal teenage girl brattiness, I was upset about the divorce. It was a bad time. My friend's GRANDPARENTS split when we were in high school, which was really weird - everyone, including their kids and grandkids, were like ... you can't wait it out?

At least with The King of Queens, they acknowledged that Carrie was mean (that word was used often) and had a terrible temper, and she got meaner as the show went on. And she wasn't just mean to Doug; I think there were plot points at work where she learned that none of her coworkers liked her, and she never had a…

I sometimes sleep naked and I have a robe on the back of my bedroom door for these kinds of moments. My ex slept naked nightly and had for years and years and a naked newspaper retrieval is something he'd do if he still got the paper.

Anthony Mackie should be way more famous. Justin Timberlake should stop trying to be a serious AC-TOR, because he's just not that good. He makes much better music.

No. He's 30 or 31. I graduated from business school at 28 and there were many people in my class older than I - some a decade older, or more. And I'd guess he's playing a 20something here.

Ack, that was meant to be a reply to YetAnotherRachel.

Oh sure. But the odds of all the men in Hollywood having "don't go bald or gray" genes is as slim as all the women having high metabolisms that keep them in sample sizes. Matt Leblanc is gray now (and he looks great, in my opinion) and I've read interviews where he talks about the Friends hair people coloring his hair…

I read something somewhere that said Brad Pitt wears extensions, and I have no trouble believing that. And then I realized how many celebrity men probably dye their hair or wear pieces. My dad is in his early 60s and has a full head of mostly black hair, so I know it's possible to hold onto it, but you don't see a…

That bugs me too - he was SO insistent when people asked him about it during the press junket for Silver Linings Playbook. (And in the next movie they're doing together, a period movie I think, they do look like father and daughter.) That didn't last long!
