This is awesome! I would probably have 20.

Name an alternative.

I appreciate the Jezebel staff trying to resolve this problem, and also understand and appreciate that there just isn't much you can do.

No, not really, for a lot of reasons. First, an uncomfortable baby is crying and making a scene, which is very frustrating to the other diners. Second, a dirty diaper just sitting there can cause diaper rash, and if it's a poo diaper, it can even cause things like UTI's. It's always a good idea to change the diaper

Excellent advice. I'm a fairly recent grad and I'm torn between non-profit communications and fund development. I think my passion is it communications, so I'll probably go that route. There's a LOT to be said for becoming an expert in your area.

I think it's important to mention how diverse careers in PR can be. They range from publicists, agents and marketers, to communications managers, fundraisers and administrators. In my experience, the PR practitioners who are more advanced in their careers are not the front-line publicists, they're the ones calling the

This may be the the case for pure PR - the publicists and whatnot. But older more experienced women are excelling in corporate communications. It's likely that they left the world of PR in favour of something that gives them more flexibility for the family life, which communications does.

This is one of the most frustrating parts. Journalists are NOT PR practitioners, or vice versa. There's a lot of strategy involved in PR that is just simply not a part of journalism. That's not to say they can't do it, or that they necessarily do a bad job, but the idea that you can just seamlessly go between the two

Same here. I live in a town that's saturated with PR professionals - we have programs at the diploma, bachelors and masters levels. It's nearly impossible to lock down any of the positions, and if you're lucky, you'll get a 1 year term.

No kidding. Women in PR are all painted as A-Type perfectionists, and there's a huge rivalry between women. Men get a lot more chances to make mistakes.

I have a degree in PR, and am early on in my career. In my graduating class there were 56 women and 4 men. The men have had a decidedly easier time getting started than the women. They get the choice internships, and the choice jobs post-graduation.

So, my cat has a bit of a hunting habit. When I was living in my old apartment we had a ground-floor window she could come in and out, which led straight into the woods. One night I opened the window and she hopped inside, and then immediately plunked a live mouse in the middle of my living room floor. The mouse took

Can Tina Fey reprise her SNL character for just one more gig, and read this verbatim?

Stop trying to justify your hatred with the Bible. Jesus (the guy you're supposed to follow) was not anti-everybody-who-isn't-white-and-Christian. Everything the religious right is doing is directly in opposition to the teachings of Christ, and it's offensive to people like me who are actually Christian - not just

Gross.

If she had toned down the lip she could have done the eyes, or vice versa. Together it evokes Mimi from the Drew Carey Show.

Love this girl, but this is straight up clown make-up.

No kidding. There's only ever been one point in my life when I was getting compliments on my body, and at the same time, I also getting the "you're too skinny" comments as well. It's all subjective.

It bothers me when people can't tell that they're overcompensating. It's a nice thought, "I want to see people who represent a larger segment of the population," but is there really no place between that genuine concern and, "OMYGOD THAT CHICK IS A FUCKING SKELETON!"?

I really don't get the nail art fad. I can't even paint my own nails a solid colour without it looking like it was done by a toddler, but even if I could, I can't imagine I'd do any of the things that are in style right now. I want people to be paying attention to me, not my nails.
