i agree about the 'fur children' trend. i get unbelievably twee and cutesy about my dog (seriously, i will outlast anyone in listing the obnoxiously adorable nicknames i give him), but calling him my 'fur child' or describing myself as a 'pet parent' is a bridge too far.

I tweeted Nikki Reed to tell her how important it was for her to use my suggested cat name. Let's hope she appreciates my talent and genius.

I think that as women we're expected to be emotionally dependent and nurturing. We're supposed to be "above" judging men's bodies. If we don't enthusiastically accept tiny dicks, we're being bad women.

I just watched the micro-penis episode of New Girl, so I'd like to say that we all have micro-penises. They may not be physical, but they are all there. My micro-penis is that I never finished college. This is not a serious comment for everyone boiling with rage right now.

Let them do their thing, and get some new friends. You don't have to dump them completely, but you'll be happier if you're not depending on mostly-unavailable people for your socializing.

I'm running my first half marathon tomorrow and am excited and a little terrified! I lost 80 pounds two years ago and made a resolution (so corny) to do this run. I know I am physically ready, but still battle some of that old negative self-talk every now and then. Anyway - woo hoo!

I force myself to have a minimum of 5 fruits and/or veg a day. I often have a platter mid-day when I'm hungry that's all 5 because it's a chore, but it gets it over with. Then I don't feel so hungry later in the day and pig out. Plus, I feel better knowing I've done one good thing.

This was the last time those cats would ever trust "The Man" again.

Setting aside the normative question of whether the league's drug policy is/was a good one, if you are on the NFL's drug hit list and yet you continue to either use banned substances or spend time with people who are ,thus putting yourself at risk of a secondhand-smoke false positive, isn't there strong evidence…
