And that last dress when Ted breaks up with her! Cleavage in the office! I think for the first time, ever.

And his expression! Totally hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing.

I completely laughed out loud at that. That's going to be my new saying.

You don't have to tell me. I was in education for five years, thanks to my Ph.D. I taught private high school, and I'm sure you believe me when I say I've never worked harder in my life. And I was monitored at every stage, given surprise inspections, received continuous feedback from the vice principal AND the…

Oh yeah? Part of that Scandanavian system you admire is the fact that teachers get paid based on performance, not based on experience or on a pay ladder.

So, so, so true. I honestly cannot afford to keep two of my kids in private school. I keep one of them in public school because I have no choice. And yet I do, because looking at the one child in public school, he just doesn't have the same benefits as the others in private school.

That is absolutely true. However.

Not necessarily. There was a specific instance where one school district received the most money in the Tri-State area, and they were the worst performers. When that tidbit came to light, a bunch of people clamored to be put on the school board and started cutting funding.

When I go to Nordstrom, I see women desperately gobbling up those jimmy choo shoes and they DO NOT BLINK when the register rings up $650. I have no idea how people justify this kind of extravagance.

That's true. I had a teacher that had his father die young of a heart attack, and his uncles. He was crazy heart conscious, ate all the heart healthy foods and got checked regularly. And he ran, all the time. He remarked once to me that he is currently older than any other male family member he's ever known.

That's brilliant.

I disagree. I think it showed a shocking maturity in Pete. He learned his lesson from last time and didn't repeat past mistakes. He sees that bob is universally liked, he knows bringing up his past won't really matter to the partners, and he refuses to look like a bitter psycho like last time.

I think comparing Sally's decision to go to boarding school with "mercy" is incorrect. Mercy is something given by someone else. And in three instances for this episode, it was Don with the power to give it.

This is a Tadashi Shoji dress. It comes in a variety of colors and styles, short and long. I bought the eggplant short cocktail dress, and it was fantastic. Full disclosure, though, I'm a small size.

It doesn't demand much of anything. Genetic mutations are a part of all of us. GATTACA was fiction as the hubris was that (a) we could control DNA replication fidelity (b) you could virtually eliminate bad genes.

Wait. What was so horrible about the way he ended the Two Towers? I've read and watched LoTR, and I thought he did an excellent job.

Out of those 150 thousand birth defects, how many were spontaneous mutations?

Yeah, Jezebel is reaching with this applicators=misogyny. I don't understand why I can only prove that I am a real woman by sticking my fingers up my blood-splattered insides.

As I said to someone else, I actually think that the books didn't really make it clear about how she ended up with Tywin. I think that Tywin forced her, because he either suspected she was a prostitute and "belonged" to Tyrion, and wanted to hurt his son/force him to make babies.

Not so weird, actually.
