I don't know what the Catholic Church's stance on it is, but my insurance is through the Catholic Health Network (though my employer isn't religiously affiliated.. I work in a geochemical lab, so I have no idea why our only health insurance option was the religious one). Anyway, in the benefits information booklet…

I tell people who hate on my Uggs that wearing them is like my feet are being hugged by a million friendly sheep. Uggs are like my wintertime flip flops.. I wear them when lacing up shoes sounds tedious. It gets cold and a bit snowy where I live, but not to the point where I need Legit Snow Boots. Frankly, I think…

Right? At first I thought it was an excerpt from a Literotica story.

I don't necessarily think the finished products are ugly, but as a collector of antique photographs, the destruction really bums me out. Oddly enough, I have a photo from the Doré gallery (the Riddler) in my own collection.

Hot dogs and mac & cheese are my dietary staples. So I will probably die waaay before our cnidarian overlords make slaves of us non-regenerative meatbags.

Agent Provocateur breaks my heart because their bras fit me weird. The band on the 32A is a bit snugger than I'm used to, but the cups on the 34A are a little too big. I tend to wear thinner t shirts, and lacy bras covered in bows aren't the best choice, so I don't even get to wear my AP unders that often. Also,…

There is nothing about this that is okay. Nothing.

Obligatory GIANT EFFEN JELLYFISH video. The funny thing is that this is not the first time I've joined in on a jellyfish discussion on this site. It seems every few months in the comments it's like

Dark Garden in SF is excellent. Pricey, but well worth it. They have ready to wear and also do custom corsets. [www.darkgarden.com]

My dentist was neat. I didn't want to go under, so he just lidocained my mouth like crazy and even put up a mirror so I could watch the procedure. My mouth was pretty sore for about a week, but wisdom teeth extraction wasn't as bad as a gingival tissue graft. Stupid receding gumline.

I'm hearting you for that!

Yaaaay! More people who detest the comics! I really wanted to burn the omnibus my poor, unsuspecting boyfriend wasted $50 on when I was done reading it. Sure, Andrea is "better" in the comic than the show, but her relationship with Dale is still creepy. as. fuck.

It was pointed out to me that the show would be a lot better if the writers stopped having the characters (particularly Rick) make really poor decisions. They live in the zombie apocalypse and because of that, they'll naturally end up in enough lose-lose situations, so that the writers shouldn't have to force the…

I've started referring to Lori as The Turducken. Think about it. You're welcome.

I think I've seen it in the store, but I haven't tried it because my cats won't let me brush their teeth. Edward will eat the cat toothpaste and sort of gnaw on the toothbrush a bit, but Jellybean just looks at me like "How stupid are you to think that there is a chance in hell you'll be able to get near me with…

Same here. My cats are indoor cats, and I'm neurotic about their health and safety, so I'm slightly less concerned about catastrophic injuries, and more concerned with quality-of-life issues, like their damn teeth. I don't mind paying for yearly checkups and boosters out of pocket, but not covering dental prophylaxis…

For real. Last time I took Ambien, I tripped balls for a couple of hours. Like, bunnies made of sand hopping around my room and holding conversations with people in pictures (though I got upset when they tried to escape from their frames). I like to think of that experience as my brain starting to dream while I was…

My cat started biting at my fingers and the phone to get me to stop.

I can't remember where I heard this, but isn't a regular character supposed to die by the end of the season? Maybe I just imagined it, but after watching last night's episode, I developed a theory around it.

It's true! My cats are not used to being around small people, but when my baby cousin came to visit, she would scoot around after them, calling out "kiiy! kiiy!" The smart cat avoided her, but the fat one would let her grab and hold (not pull, just hold) his tail like the baby in this video. Initially I was worried…
