Oh no, I wasn't suggesting that was why I couldn't be racist. What I meant to say was that I would have figured that if it was something White people were too ignorant to bother discussing then it might have been something I would have learned in the company of Black people. But I can see where you get that and I…

Okay, full disclosure here, I was born in 1990 and as a senior in high school I saw a friend (my age) dress in blackface (brown makeup but still) as part of her Steve Urkel costume for Halloween and I didn't see anything wrong with it. If you had asked me the very next year, as a freshman in college, I would have…

Amen, sister.

THIS. Precisely the experience I've had when trying to be open and honest about my sexuality. I've been in a monogamous relationship with a man for 3 years so they feel I couldn't possibly still find women sexy.

Gosh, it would have taken all of my self-control not to immediately junk-punch him and ask him if he thought that was sexy as he writhed in pain.

While dancing in a club in Spain on my 21st birthday a man demanded that I dance with his friend, an offer I declined with a smile. He made a second demand and I said "No, I'm with my friends and I have a boyfriend." He then looked me up and down and asked "Do you suck your boyfriend's dick?" complete with a…

Wait a second: if he was a father figure to Zoe and can't be for Paige then wouldn't that make Paige the newborn and Zoe the older sister?

AGREED. I spent a year studying abroad in Spain while the boyfriend stayed stateside. It was brutal and I would have really appreciated a pillow like this, even with the 9 hour time difference, it would have been a sweet reminder.

Sunday Kind of Love - Etta James

I loved those books and totally remember the potato tattoo! That would definitely make me happy.

Amen!

I thought I was the only one! He is seriously such a charmer. I thought I might have a thing for him before, but then his appearance on The Daily Show sealed the deal for me. Old enough to be my dad? Psschh yeah, whatever.

Both of my parents are competitive runners who are loyal to Asics, while my brother and I (also runners) are hooked on Brooks. Brooks are great distance running shoes, especially for women because they are narrow in the heel but leave more room in the "toe box" so that your feet can swell a little. I highly recommend…

It's worse than that, I found their website and another one of their fabulous famous customers appears to be Katie Price. Oh yes, that woman is also known for being fashion-forward and high class. [www.gaspjeans.com.au]

Seriously! I'm 5'10" and I've noticed that most guys in the 5'5"-5'8" range claim to be my height. Sometimes when we've both revealed our height as 5'10" but I'm clearly taller they'll even tell me "There's no way you're 5'10", you must be at least 6 feet!" Uhm. No.

Yeah, every game or competition day at my high school in Orange County, CA. It was a nice reminder of which girls to watch out for.

The way he says it's sad because, "The guy was a fan, and so he wanted to the painting so bad he had to steal it because he couldn't afford it. So he finally steals the painting and he's getting his ass kicked by his hero..." made my heart break. Whether accurate or not, that interpretation just clarifies for me what…

We're in the habit of bringing a "one pound" box from See's because you can find gift certificates for them at Costco which makes them cheaper. One Godiva box for everyone sounds like a good way to go to me :)

Hahahaha I see what you're saying, but we've never had a problem with it. Generally my mom says that she's a flight attendant when she gives it to them, and I usually go "My mom is a flight attendant, she wanted me to give these to the crew." And then we get treated to drinks and their DVD players, and other flight…

Bring a box of chocolates "for the crew" (the flight attendants and such) and they usually will set you up with a nice personal DVD player from first class. My mom is a flight attendant, we bring chocolate every time.
