What is “disappointing” success? Was it unsuccessful? Was it less successful than anticipated? Can success be disappointing?

I’ve only watched one episode and it seemed a little soft-core porny to me (albeit with a different body type than usual). We really had to have a character who is a stripper and gives private lap dances? I don’t know if I want to watch any more because of the male fantasy vibe I got from the show.

I don’t care where you live, having HIV is a crisis because you are sick, you can develop AIDS, and you have to take expensive drugs with side effects the rest of your life. What was written in the first sentence makes it sound as if it was nothing at all.

I will not embrace being called a bitch, and neither should any other woman. You would not encourage any other group to embrace a derogatory term. You can spin it however you want, but when you tell someone it’s OK that they call you a bitch, you’re telling them it’s OK to treat you badly. We don’t have to agree to…

my niece has terrible scarring from her bout with cystic acne. What she thinks has made a difference is this treatment in the derms office where they roll a devices studded with needles over your face (micro needling?). It is bloody, but it stimulates the regrowth of collegen. I don’t know what it costs, but it’s…

When I worked as a teacher at a school with lots of disruptive students I had to have a hysterectomy. There was something growing on my ovary and they didn’t know what it was so I had to be cut open. You would not believe the number of teachers who told me I was so lucky because I would have time off, even after I…

But you know what’s weird, David killed Goliath. But I get what she’s saying.

actually we saw his car get hit by a train

I’m with you. I hate that they changed the show this season, it is stupid and boring, and I hate that they killed her (2nd) husband. And Molly is a doctor, but JD was tending to the girl’s wounds in the finale. And where is her best friend and doctor played by Camryn Mannheim? I kind of liked it last season, and the…

Don’t go to India. Tell everyone you know who might go. Boycott the country. Obama should intervene and contact the government. This is not OK.

I love how you wrote this, big morning laugh!

Alfred Enoch looks like a thumb. Look at that long, thick neck with the pad of the thumb (his head) at the top. A good looking thumb.

The Peter Thomas Roth cream sale price is only good on the dark mocha color.

This is very sad. I am a school librarian and I worry all the time that a parent is going to grab a book and get me fired. I wish these people would understand what public school in America is supposed to be about- that we serve all the diverse people in a school. I am so frightened by the big mouths in this country.…

please lie on the platform

I love erasable pens. I hate pencils, they’re for babies and math/science types.

Sorry about your struggles. Ask your doctor about your anti-depressant. I know prozac can make you gain weight even if you don’t realize it. Maybe another anti-depressant can help. I am also weird about texture and a really picky eater, and find that WW and Lean Cusine tv dinners of pizza and pasta can help. The…

I love this column. Last time I was at Bath and Body works I was happily surprised to see that all their pump hand soaps are no longer antibacterial.

I am thinking about this because I just read an article about commas. I read "kale, strawberry and mango carrot," like there was a mango-carrot smoothie. I would have written it, "kale, strawberry, and mango carrot." So what's the story? Am I wrong, or is my way old fashioned? Someone please tell me so I can…
