The last season of Project Runway, my friend and I actually looked forward to the bland little moment when Heidi gives the designers a hint about the upcoming challenge, which is usually five boring minutes we could do without. But her outfits were so relentlessly horrible, one week to the next, that we couldn't wait…

To be fair, there's hardly anyone in that house who hasn't suffered something horrible at this point. I'm just so tired [SPOILER!] of writers running out of snappy dialogue and deciding it's time to spice things up with a rape.

Yeah, it depends where you are. I'm a city girl, so I forget that distance costs money when you're in a car. :(

I was with a friend in Vietnam when an ATM took her card & refused to return it. When she called BofA in a panic, the guy on the phone told her that they'd sent a replacement, so her existing card, which was nowhere near expiring, had been cancelled. She said, "So last week when I called to tell you I was leaving the…

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that! You aren't a failure; tons of people struggle with these issues, you're far from alone. A lot of my friends have had eating disorders and I have never, not once, considered them failures for it.

Oy, I feel you. I know I've done a lot of interesting things, but I'm always reluctant to bring them up, and if I don't prepare in advance, I can flatten an otherwise entertaining story (this is especially likely if it's something I don't like to brag about). Your profile is a great place to attack the problem, for…

Congrats! That's a magical feeling.

Well, I have a LOT of things to say about tonight's episode, but boring isn't one of them. I'm not sure I can watch this season either, but for entirely different reasons.

Bookmarking for reading later tonight. Thanks! (I'm intrigued now, but I may end up cursing you later as I wade through what's sure to be a depressing read.)

Ugh, that sounds terrifying. Glad his family was able to see that their son needed help, rather than blindly taking his side.

Right?! The first conversation I had about it with my girlfriends was such a relief...and yet it was only with other women, so I remained convinced that all the guys my age had totally different expectations/experience. It's definitely an embarrassing thing to bring up, but so worth it.

For sure, starting the gestation process in an artificial womb would be WAY more straightforward than detaching one from a human womb and just plugging it into a fake one. But hey, 200 years ago if you'd told them we could attach a man's hand to his ankle so that eventually we could sew it back onto his wrist...like…

I've wondered for a long time whether someone will invent an artificial womb. Imagine if instead of aborting, you could transfer the unwanted fetus in to a fake womb, where it could grow to maturity.

When U.S. conservatives say they want small government, what they usually mean is a government that only forces people to do the things that conservatives themselves think everyone should do. Any government overreach that inforces strict Christian morals and/or props up the status quo of white men is "conservative"…

I know a lot of women who were still virgins at 25. In fact, way more of my friends were virgins at that age than experienced, despite constant media insistence that everyone is having sex straight out of college. I think our culture is much more comfortable talking about either waiting for marriage or "hookup…

I have no idea what I said to prompt this comment.

I've got to step in. I know more than one person who was adopted. The whole "why did my parents abandon me?" thing isn't a de facto response for kids who were adopted. Most of my friends knew from early childhood that they had been adopted; they understand that their birth parents couldn't care for them, are relieved…

THANK YOU. This always, always seems to mean either "I play fast and loose with science because it's more fun to believe in werewolves and vortices" or "I like being an asshole and I hate it when people call me an asshole, so I hope you're okay with me being an asshole."

I get that. FWIW, I probably wouldn't be ready to move in with anyone after only six months, so that sounds fast to me too. That might have been the issue, more than the fact that it was online dating. The people I know personally who found success all said that they'd met their best friends, and they all seemed to…

I know two couples who met on JDate and are now married, one couple who met on Match and are engaged and another who are married, and my dad & stepmom were together 18 years after she posted a twitter-length personal ad in New York Magazine (in the pre-Match era). The sites do work, and most people I know are trying…
