@ukuleslie: Oddly, these are one of the only prepared food items my family buys, other than bread. Sometimes it's just one of those weeks when you would rather spend the extra dollar to have someone cut them up for you. My whole family loves to eat carrots, and we eat at least one of the large size bags per week. To…

@eclare09: Mine too!

@TwoRandomPennies: I've seen this, and it was horrifying. I can't remember who the celebrity was.

@morninggloria: Beautiful.

@morninggloria: I love TI, too, but dude should know to smoke his pot at home while he's on probation. He has a pretty long record, and in fact is on probation for possession of a weapon by a felon. Judges tend to get a lot huffier about past weapons charges than they do about past drug charges.

@morninggloria: I think you're right, but the two cases aren't really comparable because T.I. is on probation. He'll have to serve the remainder of his probation, plus whatever time he gets for marijuana possession.

@Shancan: I shouldn't have said BS - it's an overly inflammatory word. I have nothing but sympathy for this clearly beautiful, shy, and probably sick girl. And I hope that all this publicity gets her treatment for her health issues.

@xfreeBird: Of course not. I'm just saying that I have never seen him not make himself fit anywhere, though it could well be uncomfortable.

I call BS on having to leave school because she can't sit properly on the bus. My 6'9 father in law can squeeze into little seats (airplanes, backseats, etc.) when he really needs to, and he probably has 150 pounds on this lovely lady - and shot knees to boot. I think there might be more to these health issues than…

@ilovedexter: Like, if Gabourey Sidibe or someone of her stature had a reality show and was talking about considering getting pregnant? No, this post would definitely not happen.

@funchefchick: No no no. The Jez post implied that the doctors made the latter statement.

@funchefchick: It completely misread a statement by some American Society of OB/GYN that basically said, "We have been unable to determine a level of alcohol that is safe for all pregnancies." This was turned into, "You stupid wimmenz better not take one sip of alcohol while you're pregnant or your baby will come out…

@clothandcake: Absolutely. BMI is a shitty tool for use on individuals, but it's a very useful tool for public health researchers. If your doctor thinks it's a good tool to use on you, find a new doctor, but don't criticize the existence of the number.

@QADude: BMI definitely does not work well for the very tall, because I don't think it accounts for the increased width that your hips, shoulders, etc. naturally have to maintain that stature. I calculated the "normal" weight range of my 6'7 husband for life insurance purposes once, and he was on the cusp of…

@mandabear: Dude, you did not get anyone fired. There is no room for laziness in nursing.

@midwesternmom: Jeb's kids are really bad. They are rumored to be one of the main reasons he isn't interested in running for president.

@marathonjunkie: I agree 100%. The statement quoted above from the American Council merely says that they can't determine how much alcohol is safe for everyone. They're not telling you you're going to mess up your baby; they're saying they have no idea how much alcohol is acceptable to drink for any person. Given how…

@DorothyWordsworth: Exactly. I know a ton of doctors, and all of them are fine with them or their wives having a bit of booze while pregnant. (As one of my friends put it this weekend as his 7-mos. pregnant wife was sipping some of his sangria, "enough to enjoy the taste, not the buzz.") However, none of them would…

@bluebears: It used to be more on par with Ikea, but I think they've increased prices quite a bit recently. Now, I'd consider it more of a cheaper alternative to Room and Board or DWR.

@Antrack: And I'm totally using this for, like, therapy right now, because I need to vent and get this out. But I also need to say how truly upset I was when he told me all this, because I had thought we (husband and I) had had such a nice conversation with ex and his wife. And it was insanely important to me that we…
