We already have Ciaran Hinds, who was spectacular and perfect can never be replaced in my mind, despite the fact that he is more than twice my age.

If you're old enough to have experienced Kathie Lee 1.0, this is a level of sad that blows the mind.

Because teenagers. Hugging your mother is sooo lame.

I normally hate denim on denim, but JLo looks so gorgeous that I ain't even mad.

I would but the person in question has been my husband's friend since high school. One of the things I love about my husband is that he is an incredibly tolerant, compassionate and understanding person. One downside to that is having to deal with clowns like Mr. "Video Games are My Children."

It's almost like women are diverse and have, as a group, an infinite variety of feelings and opinions! Why is that so tough for some people to swallow?

Playing with my kids was always so hard for me. I remember trying to play barbies with my 3 year old once.

Me (holding barbie): "Hello, how are you?"
Her (holding her barbie): "Well I'm doing alright."
Me: "..."
Her: "I don't want to play with you anymore, where's dad?"

I went through hell to have my son. I love him with breathtaking fierceness. He is, without a doubt, my favorite person on this earth. And even with all that parenting is hard and confusing and exhausting. Because of my own childhood I have worked really hard to give my son a foundation of love, trust, and security.…

We have to break down and stop participating in the Cult of Motherhood.

Also, it really annoys me when women are asked to account for their decisions about parenthood. I love Zooey Deschanel's response to the question: "Is having children on your priority list?" Zooey replied: "I'm not going to answer that question...I don't think people ask men those questions."

Do I think this is silly? Absolutely. But ultimately, I am all for a variety of forms of exercise, so people can pick what works for them and makes them happy, all while being physically fit and healthy.

I hate the word "urban" used in this context as well, for the very reasons you describe. It's on my banned words list at work and I don't let any of my writers use it.

I had an older boss who had a female proctologist. He noted that she had "very soft hands."

Trudy of Gradient Lair said something to the tune of, mainstream culture does not want black genius associated with black bodies. I believe this notion is a palpable but rarely acknowledged truth that plays out everyday in pop and American culture. The question that I think black people are finding ourselves…

Again, no one is saying that black people and hip-hop artists are the only ones who have love for a big ass. The issue is that the white majority has laughed at and demeaned us for years and now wow, suddenly asses are awesome because white women have discovered twerking. That's pathetic.

kara.did.not.say.that.only.poc.have.baby.hairs. the particular styling of the babyhairs is from poc cultures.

My disgust at the obvious racism is being overwhelmed by my LOLs at the phrase "Chanel Urban Tie Cap". URBAN. TIE. CAP.

I'm too young to have had a prostate exam, but I imagine I'll make the same choice as I did for any physical I've ever had and choose a female doctor. I think part of it is that most of the male doctors I've seen were old enough to be my grandfather, plus no one wants to get stuck with the navy vet with sausage…

I did, and I much preferred it. If nothing else, smaller fingers! I didn't specifically request her, though. The doctor who did my vasectomy retired shortly after the procedure. For my next trip to the urology group, they said a female doctor had an opening, if I didn't mind. It's not sexual at all.
