My boyfriend and his two brothers were all conceived while his mom was on birth control.

Yeah, I get it. I just struggle to understand the shoes thing. Maybe because the fancy ones always look so damn uncomfortable! I have no problem with people doing what they like, obviously. I am just trying to understand how shoes give people pleasure, especially when they look so painful! I mean, who wants the…

ummm...that's a picture of Tamayo. Makes sense to me.

like...they're made from python skin?

Man, you're my opinion-twin!

In philosophy class once, my prof told us a different argument than the 'abortion is murder b/c the baby would be a person later' vs 'abortion is not murder because the fetus is not a person' argument. He said to think of it like this...you wake up one morning and a professional violinist has been sewn to your side…

Interesting, but I don't think you can say that for all women. I happen to have a lot of money sitting around at the moment, but I would never spend it on shoes. I'm probably going to buy a house with it, or escape the country and become a recluse in Portugal...haven't decided. Of course, my money was a one-time…

Serious question...who buys these designer shoes? Do normal non-millionaires, non-celebs buy them as a splurge? Where do you/they wear them?

Might not work with Donald Trump. I don't think he hates the guy enough. But, good point. Maybe if he sees someone using the same words with a definitely different connotation he will get the point.

The cat wakes me up around 4 every morning and bothers me until I get up and walk into the hallway. Then he gets up on the table where his food bowl is and eats his food. Then, I'm allowed to go back to sleep. But I ususally have to pee once I wake up, so I stop there before going back to bed.

I'm not put off by your words. I appreciate the advice!

I'm a vegetarian, so I feel your pain. I usually keep the glucose tablets in my purse and some almonds/pistachios in my desk at work just in case I underestimate how much food I need to make it through the day. It's weird how what seems fine one day will make me nearly pass out the next day, because reasons?!?

I hate weddings. I hate people who are getting married. I hate marriage.

Yeah, I've never had anemia. My blood tests are almost always pretty normal. Vitamin D deficiency and low blood sugar on occasion.

Yeah, I've had them checked multiple times and they're always within normal range. I do have hypoglycemia, though. I'm sure that's part of it.

Can science please explain to me why I can get 8 hours sleep and be totally exhausted all the time anyway? I go to bed at 10 every night and wake up at 6. So even though I'm getting my 8 hours, I'm probably going to get fat(ter)/cancer/die, etc.

So, her comments remind me of this argument I keep having with my bf. She (Paula Deen) keeps calling black people 'blacks', and it really makes me insane. My boyfriend would never say 'blacks', but I have heard him say 'Jews' and 'gays'. He's not saying it in the context of saying anything bad about the person. …

I've heard it here in my academic social circles, usually amongst older professors who probably feel very weird calling their S.O. of 30 years their bf or gf. But it's not universal enough to use regularly in all sorts of company. People would either assume you're gay, assume you're talking about a business partner,…

That's how I felt after Ina Garten didn't have time to cook with a make-a-wish kid and everyone suddenly hated her. I wanted to say, I told you so! She's heinous...

I think we really need a new word for non-married bf/gf situations. I've been 'dating' my 'boyfriend' for 8 years. We live together. I call him my boyfriend, but people are always shocked to hear how long we've been together, because boyfriend could mean someone you spend the last 3 weeks with. I've struggled to…
