@pharmgrl87: I got engaged after 5 months, but we talked about it way before (me not thinking he was serious) since month 2 & 3. We were married just 1-2 weeks shy of 1 year of our first date. It happens but I can't figure out why everyone thought it was weird.

@nothing_new: Sadly that's the only way (duration, times per week) that I can lose weight. Is it better to be thin(ner) & miserable or fat & happy? I can't decide.

@largirl: I'm in the same boat with 10 - 15 lbs gained. It's getting difficult to lose the post-wedding weight even with working out & eating healthy. Sure my schedule isn't like before - where I could eat ramen or steamed fish & veg for dinner instead of making a sit-down meal after work - after which you're too…

I'm glad I went to an all-girls school but I didn't quite escape unscathed. I was never quite a looker - pink/red glasses and horrible clothes/no style, and didn't mind it but I thought I was too fat, despite being on the swim team and hated my stomach & thighs. Now I wish I could go back and tell that girl she was…

@_momo_: I definitely have a thing for Takeshi and Henney. Even though lately Henney's look has gone way too stylish/metrosexual for me especially the hair in recent pics. Takeshi? He's definitely gaining a more rugged look as he ages.

That lady is gorgeous. Wait, no lush. This is absolutely not body snark but I appreciate how she's not all skinny especially for a dancer in like Asia/China. Awesomeness.

@Cole23: I have serious wavy hair envy too. Instead I have drab pin-straight black-brown hair all the time.

@dancerevolution: Maybe he also caringly extends his appendage by 1" per year. I'm thinking like those height extension things where they break the bone and reset it (scene from Gattaca). That? Would be an awesome equivalent for such a prick.

How to save $55. Choose one.

@clevernamehere: LOL. Awesome on all points.

@graciousplum: From what I've learned the 'aurat' is covering everything except your hands and face. In fact when performing prayers a woman is not permitted to cover up her face. There are times where I do not understand why someone needs to go to such extremes to be "more devout" - or closer to God - we're not…

@ayaka: Gah Jez really needs a delete/edit function.

Screencaps = awesome.

@schweppes: I just bought My Sister's Keeper because of rave reviews and it was 25% off, prob more because of that. But I almost picked up a bunch of Picoult's other books too because everyone was raving about them too. I'm glad I didn't because it sounds like you either really love it vs really hate it kinda thing.

You know there are times when I'm ok with my body but then I read stuff like this daily on Jez + get hit by advertising left & right + go shopping and never ever fit into anything, it depresses me so much. This mood colors my day and I hate it.

@KTKaya: You should read the article(s) about this case.

Wow so that means I'm a plus size at US10/UK14 now? Awesome. Soon they'll shift down another 2 to make space for Size 0000 US.

@heatherwritesstuff: My mom & dad used to clean our ears out like that too - with a torch light and a bobby pin (yep not safe but safe in my parents hand perhaps). It felt real good like an inner ear massage.

Even though creepy crawlies freak me out I find these fascinating. I watched the botfly extraction vids on YouTube sometime back and they were SO cool. I think it's because it's like the same effect like extracting a blackhead? Maybe it's just me.

After reading the article what is disturbing is how it was so like a business transaction. Where she put herself up for sale, he liked what he saw and she liked what he could give her and so he bought her.
