Because of DDD and how good the places are and how Fieri actually seems to truly appreciate well-prepared fresh food, I am convinced he has little to no input on the restaurants that bear his name. He got his career from winning a reality show after all, and that contract must be evil as hell.

I think Guy Fieri's restaurants are designed with teenage boys as the target audience, actually.

People are really fucking stupid. I know of someone who went to Beijing and ate nothing but the hotel coffee shop and McDonald's. My husband's cousin went to New York and when we asked if they ate Italian food there they said "YEAH! The Times Square Olive Garden is soooo good! Kind of expensive, though." I died a…

Yep. That's what professionals do, anyway. I have never worked in a kitchen where the blenders still had the little plastic insert thingies.

Yeah, and the plus line is nice because it's basically all the straight sized stuff just in plus instead of, like, five grey smocks and one white t-shirt and nothing else like a lot of plus lines. She is indeed a very good businesswoman and the whole dumb blonde act is a total charade.

Here's my question, though: Don't these celebrities have publicists that keep them on the cover of and in these magazines? It's pretty much well known that the only reason Jennifer Aniston is still on the cover of tabloids and hasn't faded into obscurity is because of her publicist who keeps her in the tabloids. It…

She already has a plus-size clothing line (along with a regular)! It's sold at Macy's, and pretty cute if a little pricey for the quality level. Her shoe line is cute, too.

But but but! It is sooo wrong that I kinda want to see inside Leo's luxe life??

Yeah, me too and it's why I decided not to have a bridal party. I just couldn't stomach doing that to people.

Even if you do cheap David's dresses, unless you are a perfectly formed human, you still have to factor in cost of alterations. Then there's shoes (never assume the bride will be happy with what you already own), accessories, etc. Every time I've been a bridesmaid, the bride gave us the "The dresses are cheap and you…

Lame Giant has increasingly gone downhill in the last couple of years. They used to be the first place I went when needing something to wear. Now I don't even bother to look at the clothes anymore because they're all SUCH crap. I only use them for bras, panties, and pajamas now.

So how are you planning on approaching this with your own kids? On one hand, I feel like a lot of kids now have advantages that people in our generation didn't have. My husband has a much younger cousin who graduated two years ago with a degree in interior design. She's been able to live at home while she searches for…

Hey, no judgment here. Pirate Bay is my jam, lol. And yeah, my husband and I had the same reaction to Girls. We enjoy the show because it's pretty compelling, but we're always baffled that these kids are able to live in hipster mecca Brooklyn on their parents' dime. I was a Theater major (I know) and my parents were…

Yep. People seem to think that tattoo removal is just easy-peasy but it's not. My sister tried to get some tattoos removed and it took so many sessions she ran out of money. Now she just has really faded ugly tattoos. :( A friend of mine works with juvenile offenders and one of the services her program offers is free…

I was looking at the reviews for a very well-regarded Vietnamese place recently. One reviewer gave two stars saying, "The food here is really excellent, but they only have one bathroom and you have to wait. Two stars." I'm like SERIOUSLY?? This is a tiny ethnic restaurant in a tiny strip mall and you expect palatial…

People who don't know how food is prepared are the worst customers in restaurants. People who demand smoked brisket after it has run out are the same people who just don't understand why they can't get their marinara sauce with no onions (or whatever) at a moments notice.

As a Gen-Xer raised by Boomer parents, I will say that it gets my goat when Millenials get to be jobless for months at a time while they search for a job "in their field." My Boomer parents never afforded me that luxury, and after school I had to just get a job, in my field or not. It was so easy for them and I could…

Yeah, me too. All these people trying to justify hitting children boggle my mind. If I hit an adult, guess what happens? I get charged with assault. But it's ok to hit a child? Why? It's completely fucked up.

If you were hit as a child, and you plan to hit your own children, you are not "perfectly ok." You are perpetuating the cycle of violence.

What your parents did was not ok, and the fact that you think it was is a major problem.
