I just use an old cheapy blender - though i finally broke it this week and got a new cheapy (Philips) blender! I'm in the UK so maybe have slightly different options than you? I used to have a juicer but i didn't like it - lots of waste and lukewarm juice that usually made me gag.

I make smoothies because I can't eat solid food in the mornings. I wake up queasy almost every day, which means that if I weren't eating smoothies I'd be waiting until about 11am to eat breakfast and then I'm ravenous so I overeat and then it becomes a bad pattern.

As long as they don't come after my smoothies, I'm all good. I can't really eat solid food in the mornings (perpetually queasy) so I just throw some spinach, frozen berries and yoghurt or whatever into the blender and chug that tasty shit down! It fills me up for a good 2-3 hours (mid-morning snack and I'm good until…

Hahaha, excellent point!

I've heard from quite a few places (including old lady fitters in bra shops) that adding 4-5 inches to the under bust measurement is old-fashioned and incorrect, intended to get women to fit into the range of bras a store stocks rather than find their true size. Because I'm quite squishy, I actually wear a band size…

Doug, are you getting bonus points for using the word "superannuated" as often as possible?

That's a really important point. If young women are being recruited with the promise of sponsorships and money that never materialises, that makes this officially shady. Especially if it's being done at a point in their lives where they could be getting scholarships to universities based on athletic merit. They're…

Yeah, this article is totally mean.

I looooooove kaftans, but I suspect that I probably make Homer look like a sexy beast when I wear one...

The hair is partly down to the weather. I'm an American living in the UK for the past 11 years and I can tell you that my straight, baby fine hair does NOTHING here. It's windy and humid all the time. And my curly-haired immigrant friends all say their hair looks a thousand times worse here.

I figured that would probably be his argument after I posted my comment. It's actually terrifying, especially with all of his references to George Sodini.

How will celibacy kill you? I know that your argument is about relationships, not just sex, but what about priests and nuns? Or is their relationship with god fulfilling enough that they don't die? What about asexuals? I have a couple of friends who are asexual and one is also non-romantic, and he hasn't had a sexual…

No, she's responding to a specific quote: "A man should leave his mother and father and cling to his wife". She's being overly literal to make a joke.

I fundamentally believe that gay people should be able to buy their damn wedding cake wherever the fuck they want regardless of whether or not they make up a large enough consumer base to influence the market.

I loved the epilogue and thought it was absolutely perfect. I didn't love the parts of the end (the fight scenes in the Capital and the bit where Katniss is imprisoned and a bunch of huge decisions about leadership and government are made off-screen). I don't think they should have made Katniss president or anything…

I'm pretty sure the Daily Fail must have picked the most extreme example they could find. The average salary in the UK is £26,000 a which means a take-home pay of £1670 a month - considering the cost of living here, I can't imagine being able to find a spare nearly £100 a month.

Yes, it is now free in Scotland without a prescription: http://www.sexualhealthscotland.co.uk/contraception/…

Not at all Boots or GUM clinics - it depends on your area:

Me too! I kind of didn't like the pilot that much, but now it's tied with Parks & Rec for my favourite comedy.

I do love the nHS approach to contraception! But I just wanted to mention that it's only free with a prescription. Over the counter it costs between £25-30 (roughly $40-50).
