Neither I nor my mother nor her mother before her were nail biters and we have deep ridges in our nails that get worse with age. I don't know if that's a comfort to you or not!

I assumed it was to lend credence to her claim for the boyfriend's sake.

I like it, too, for some reason that I can't define though I would never choose it or wear it as it looks scratchy to me. I'm a "more is better" person when it comes to jewelry, but I think the bracelets wrecked the look.

What do you mean by "man made"? Don't they just squeeze canola oil out of rapeseed plants same as they squeeze olive oil out of olives? This is a sincere question.

I happened to have been in western Europe on 9/11/01, in a country not peopled by respecters of lines either, in my opinion. I expressed my amazement that so many people survived such a horror and one of my European colleagues said, "Americans are very orderly. This is what saved them."

You are very sweet. I was hesitant to throw my two cents in when I made that comment but I went ahead anyway and you made me not regret it.

When my father-in-law was dying he had a lot of trouble swallowing and many foods were banned because of the possibility of his aspirating them. Then when he was put into in-home hospice, all food bans were removed and he could be given anything he asked for. The doctor's exact words were, "If he wants a piece of…

"It's not you, it's me."

I think it's good that they're naked or scantily clad. Usually we get the message that if you're fat, you're gross, and you should keep that shit covered. People who aren't fat or close enough to a fat person to see them naked on a regular basis can start to think it's true, that fat people are not appealing naked and…

Back in her heyday, (which is still going but you know what I mean), everyone talked about Cindy Crawford's "shoulders", how nice it was to finally see models with "shoulders". I always thought there was a bit of a wink behind the "shoulders" comments.

I, too, often wonder how parents can control grown-ass children and why so often we expect them to. That aside, I always thought there was a load of anger in that family, on the part of the parents and on the part of Casey and can envision a scene in which she tells her parents she's pregnant as a way to hurt them and…

It would still be a baby, and her baby, even if she didn't consent to the conception. Some people feel that way and I think those people's feelings should be validated, just as some people feel that abortion is the right choice for them in a rape case and that's understandable as well.

Yes it's a relatively new thing and yes parents are really paranoid all of a sudden, with good reason but in some cases the paranoia outstrips the danger. The rise of diagnoses of peanut allergies and asthma and autism spectrum disorders in the US is thus far unexplained. In other western countries it hasn't been the…

I understand about mistakes where the computer shows a room as being unoccupied when in fact it's not. But to me this is much worse, this man walked into the hotel and claimed to be the plaintiff's husband and all the desk clerk did was hand over a key.

Since it's confession time, I admit that I said on many occasions that the makeup Laura Bush wore made her look like The Joker to me.

What about a statutory rape situation where a rapist might be quite eager to give his victim birth control to prevent exposure? Or someone who rapes vulnerable adults? Even in rape cases the mother should get to decide whether or not she will terminate her pregnancy.

Leg shaving has nothing to do with hygiene.

I'm just impressed that the woman in the photo is wearing lipstick while snuggling a cat.

Elin said in an interview that she knew before they were married that he liked to play the field and asked him about it, telling him she didn't want to be married to that and he said it was all over. He may even have believed that himself. I guess you'd say she was a sucker for believing him and maybe she was but he…

I'm the whitest person I've ever met, I have multi colored friends, and I live in a fully integrated neighborhood and I must say that it is only white people that have given me shit about my paleness.
