@RedHerrings: Definitely. It seems to be the result more and more. I think of a few years back when a young guy had pathologically lied to his family and wife, Lori Hacking, for years (starting with the lie that he was in medical school). They were going to move to another state for his "residency," and then she…

Remember Andrea Yates, she who languishes in a Texas prison after killing her five children? She's another bit of proof for all this.

@dagwud: This is an excellent idea. I'm going to run out and buy two shakers - one for office, one for home.

@lilydancing: GAH!! I want to shake her. Not just her body but her facial pose. She looks like a snarling dog.

Every time I see a guy with Adrien Brody's type of facial hair, I substitute "scrotum" for "chin" in my head.

The fart comes a nanosecond after the hiccup. His ribcage rises and falls, and so I attribute the fart to his ribcage landing on his bloated belly, thus pushing the fart out.

I recently brought back "Word." among my people.

This makes me miss Susan Sontag.

The take-away message I'm getting is that all sex positions have potential for hilarity.

Widdle pink tongue!!!

The whole thing reads like an approximate translation from the Japanese.

@lucysnowe: It's true the second movie wasn't as good as the first, but that was the movie's fault. I LOVED the changes she made to the older Elizabeth I, as a much more confident monarch, comfortable in statesmanship and pagentry.

@BurleyQGirl: BRAVO

I am overweight. I eat quite well - whole foods, not too much, etc., but for a long time, I let exercise fall to the wayside. I recently started working out again because I had high BP that just wasn't coming down, and I thought that I'd like to be more mobile and active, and I knew it would get more difficult as I…

Word, Jessica. I cry when I cross a vague, emotional threshold, even during an intense and sincere discussion of a personal problem. I try really hard not to, but when it happens, I explain that my tears are NOT a crisis, that I'm honestly JUST FINE, that they're just some weird quirk of mine when I get a little…

@phalenopsis: Yay!! Bunny butts!!

My voice teacher would completely agree with this advice as a bad example of how to breathe. He also explicitly told me to NEVER do stomach crunches, to forget about "flat abs." Singers should WANT the balloon effect.

@Ipomoea: I have the Paragard, and I had to double-check with my doc to make sure she didn't give me the Mirena by mistake ... I have almost no cramps and my periods are no heavier than they were when I was on the pill. Count me grateful.

@Ipomoea: Rectovaginal, deeply infiltrating endometriosis? Ask your doc. Endo that invades the intestinal area is uber painful.
