@thequeenofstartingover: my bf and I were talking about this the other day - I can't think of many new TV shows have their own theme songs, they just use pop songs. (In fact, MTV doesn't even give shows permanent opening songs, they just use something current, and name the song at the bottom of the screen.)

@nessunolosa: I find that I'm even happier when reminded that, in addition, Sarah Palin is not our Vice President.

I know this is probably insulting to someone, but I'm gonna risk it: OF COURSE she has her book signing in a Wal-Mart!

@sarahsmile: I honestly think he's only calling her Governor because he's trying to get her to answer his questions and wants to play nice. he knows she wants to be called Governor, so he's playing to her ego.

@Edie Spencer: straight-up lies are her forte.

@CLo116: Lolita7b3 has a link to the research upthread - "They defined flirtation as "smiling, leaning forward, touching their faces or hair, and using a playful and animated tone of voice".

It's ridiculous Congress even needs/thinks-it-needs to get involved in this. I want the ads to not be so damn loud, and I wish that every channel was not a different volume (fact: I frequently switch between Food Network and HGTV, one is much quieter than other channels, one is much louder - what the fuck.) The…

@day2night: THAT is cool

My mom, an uncle who has me on his list this year (we basically pull from a hat), and my boyfriend have been begging me to just make a damn list, so this year I've been using Kaboodle.com

my dad's company has festive holiday shindigs that he and my mom get to go to (brother and I watch the dog and seethe in jealousy...maybe not seethe, but you know, we want to see Blue Man Group at the Natural History Museum or whatever crazy crap they get to do - we only got to go once...family company party at FAO…

@highland1: ...so could you try to offer another side of the story, or even a potential side? if a person basically shows you exactly what the scanners would, without them, why is the pat-down/interrogation necessary?

@Einbrecher: awesome. the "she was asking for it" argument. that didn't take long.

When I was in 5th grade, one of my then-best-friends and I went to the mall and picked out matching outfits at Limited Too (white jean bellbottoms, a sheer purple vest-sort-of flowery top with a white cami underneath - UGH) and talked about wanting to come back and get the clothes. Well, she came in to school a few…

Sarah Silverman makes me giggle sometimes, but she totally deserved that. Rock on, old lady!

@prufrocklives: ugh cap sleeves. my grandmother always thnks "this will look so cute on you!" no, gma, it looks like the sleeve could not even fit over my bulging upper arm!

he's the guy on Millionaire Matchmaker with the monkey on the date! he was SO weird, but he reminded me of an old college friend who was super-awkward and often picked on, who meant well, but said creepy/inappropriate things (sometimes things that other guys could get away with joking about but somehow coming from him…

@Anne McGill: I honestly do thank the bosses I've had since. I celebrated losing that job, lived on unemployment for a few months while I regrouped (I was, according to his assistant, the first person she'd ever seen get unemployment out of him, and I'm sure it's because of the potential implications of the sex show I…

I worked for a real piece of work boss who (at least once, but I think more) made sure to announce to the entire room that he thought I was taking too many bathroom breaks one day, and tried to get them to agree with him. I was told later by one of the guys (I was one of maybe 2 girls in the office at the time, the…

@Ella Psy.D: yellow, green, pale pink or baby blue so you also know what sex the child is and can make obnoxious comments accordingly, and brown, obvs.

It's incredibly difficult to come to terms with a diagnosis like these, and even more difficult to be told "actually, I think that's over-diagnosed, and you're actually dealing with ____" when a patient switches therapists, etc...now the DSM is "wrong"?
