<3 <3 I guess I'll have to go back to stalking you the way the lorg intended. On Facebook. (The lorg was originally a typo, but I left it because it sounds like an alien overlord.)

My rage at the loss of Millihelen has started to mellow a bit, but hot DAMN! I’m still mad. As others have said, this was a welcoming, non-judgy little part of the Internet for Laydeeeez, full of insightful commenters bringing their own real world experience. I met Don’tBeSuchaBoobPunchTina, my fellow fortysomething…

So sorry to see you go, and I’ll be following at the Toast. I know it’s just the internet, but this blog has meant a lot to me. Beyond the funny articles and the great makeup info, the millihelen commenters are some of the most supportive, lovely internet people I’ve ever met. I think that’s a direct function of the…

I could know the jokes without having to actually WATCH the shows.

Yeah, the Soup is my source for knowing what everyone at work is even talking about. Not just Kardashians, but Housewives, and Toddlers and Tiaras, and all that crap. I could know the jokes without having to actually WATCH the shows. Huge bummer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Agree. Sad to learn Jane Marie is leaving! After this and losing Jolie Kerr and Caity Weaver, all my hopes and dreams for the Gawker franchise are pinned on CA Pinkham.

I began ignoring the straw policy after that, and the manager dutifully ignored my ignoring of said policy.

My niece discovered her parents’ Monty Python’s Flying Circus boxed set, and watches it often. She’s 6. Also, she referred to the Ministry of Silly Walks in a homework assignment.

I was proud when my kids nerded out on Monty Python’s Holy Grail. I remember them in elementary school reciting lines: “I fart in your general direction!” “Blue...no...aaaaaaahhhhh...”

Chuck says “Thank yewwwww” in a ridiculously exaggerated birdy voice.

I don’t know what this obsession with living forever is. I’m 53 and this aging shit is kicking my ass. My son is 14 now; I’d like to see him married or at least with a strong group of friends around him so he isn’t alone, but once that happens, I’m okay with it. Earlier if I get sick.

It’s all the Minnesota Nice... it sits on the surface all day, every day while beneath the surface, irritation and anger builds little by little into a roiling hatred, until it explodes in a Texan rage or Floridian flurry of insanity. Usually, it happens in an ice house out on the lake or is taken out on a snow man,…

I kinda hear john oliver in my head, “Holy shit Minnesota! Calm the fuck down!”

I don’t line the waterline, but unless you were using the brushes while they were still wet I can’t see how it would be a problem. Alcohol would be bad too if you got it into your eye. Tea tree oil is antibacterial and it cuts down the alcohol smell.

It is this brush tree. You might be able to find it cheaper elsewhere. Drying them upside down is supposed to help maintain the brush and prevent water from going too far into the metal ferrule.

Please tell more about this brush tree! I am intrigued and suspect that I must have one.

I have a couple of the little miniature discs of their cleaner soaps from using Sephora Points, and I throw them in my travel bag (along with Marvis mini toothpastes from Bigelow, and mini Aveda hair things, mini MUFE SensEyes, etc, etc). They ARE good, but I’m perfectly content with half a slab of Dr Bronner’s…
