Not Regency-era, but for some great historical fiction try Wolf Hall. It's about Thomas Cromwell and the Tudors, the dialogue is fantastic, just a really good read.

Most people do have baby registries, but that's a lot of things to have on one registry. It basically guarantees that they're going to get a lot of stupid shit instead of the 5 or 6 things they really want or need.

My older brother introduced us, thinking we would hit it off. They had actually known each other for years and years but we'd never met before. We got along great and I told my brother I wanted him to set us up. (Normally, I wouldn't be this brave, but he had been such an obvious flirter that I thought it was a safe…

One of my absolute favorites. She has another book that deals with her eating disorder that's also very good.

I went through 28 days of rehab just under a year ago. I was lucky that I have a boss who happens to be an alcoholic himself who was very understanding of my need to take a month to sort my shit out. However, I think that legally speaking, they have to let you go on medical leave. A lot of people I was in rehab with…

I'm a recovered addict (opiates and benzos) and I found that rehab really did help me make the changes that made abstaining once I was out of treatment possible. I wasn't able to do it on my own and I'm grateful that I had the support of my employer and the insurance to take 28 days to sort this shit out. I also am…

Yes! I frequently have multiple orgasms which my boyfriend is stoked on, but after a certain point I have to make him stop because it hurts. Just way too sensitive.

That was kind of hard to watch. Impressive, but my gag reflex was getting triggered on her behalf.

This is exactly what I thought of! She was so great in that movie.

I recommend The Name of the Wind (the Kingkiller series) by Patrick Rothfuss. It's fantasy, which is not normally my bag, but I loved both of the books and couldn't put it down. I just finished The Kite Runner, which was beautiful. I'm currently reading Wolfe Hall, which is historical fiction about Thomas Cromwell…

I feel ya, but the smell of Axe in addition to the baloney sandwich is even worse than just the baloney sandwich, though both are pretty terrible.

For me it was this.

The Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my favorites. I just love Rizzo the Rat.

I prefer skim milk. I always thought that whole milk was gross and too thick. Not a huge fan of low-fat hard cheeses, but I'm with you all the way on the milk.

As a central coast California resident, I'm pretty sure even all of my clothes wouldn't be warm enough to survive these temperatures.

Where I live in California we have warming centers operated in a collection of local churches for when it gets cold out. (Our cold being considerably warmer than everywhere else cold, but still cold if you're living on the street).

72 and Sunny up here in Santa Barbara. Winter? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' WINTER! (Actually, we really do or else we'll have no crops and worse, no wine if it doesn't rain soon.)

It actually looks way less terrible than it did in the 90's when she looked like she'd had ping pong balls implanted where her cheekbones were supposed to be.

I know a Harper, too. And I bet all of those parents thought they were being truly original when they picked it, too.

Gary is an amazing dog name and that is an amazing bow tie. Not to mention the side eye he's throwing.
