I have to think there's another, simpler reason why this low-fat mantra won't die - the word "fat." The original rationale behind the diet has trickled down to the masses, but I bet lots of people don't think about the complicated mechanisms by which fat is metabolized and how it is actually stored by one's body. I…

If your not happy, grammars not happy.

@la.donna.pietra: Sweet! I stand corrected.

I thought I knew how this story was going to end: That not only were you able to find a pink snowsuit that was reasonably priced, but that you COULDN'T HAVE FOUND A YELLOW OR BLUE GIRL'S SNOWSUIT EVEN IF YOU SPENT $500.

@badhatharry: To say nothing of neonatal care, say, if a baby was premature. That's amazingly expensive and resource-heavy too.

I'll repeat the caption a friend of mine used posting this story on his Facebook feed:

Spotlight on the iPhone. We need an API that can search the text of ANY third-party app that houses text, like my grocery list, to-do list, databases, etc., including Notes fields.

@cocobanal: I have found that the emotions are dialed way down in FWB; ideally this happens naturally, without repression of greater passions. In my FWB sitch, we genuinely like each other and are very compatible sex-wise, and we communicate well because we don't really fear what will come out of the other person's…

@BishopBlaize: Love the Gantt chart idea by mrjeremiahross, but word to you on the ability to break out of a "list of lists." It's basic and outdated, but I still use the iPhone app Pinboard ([appshopper.com] which allows you to move items around freely, without restricting them to a grid.

@wtfox?!: I did have to have a bourbon and a lie-down after typing that.

God, I am so sick of everything being about her. "The Palins! Why will no one think of the Palins?? The Palins are our future!"

@la.donna.pietra: Hubris makes people stupid.

@LLisCool: Nor does Mama Tortoise. Or Mama Gila Monster.

@alucard835: Before I was an iPhone app whore, I was a Palm Pilot app whore. When people complain about the prices on iPhone apps, I just recall the days of buying apps for the Palm platform, which were regularly ~$10 bucks per app. If people knew how much a decent Palm app used to cost, they'd shaddup about the…

@sensitivitycop: Yeah, I moved to Utah 10 years ago (still here). I grew up in a midwestern household that valued education first. But in Mormon Utah culture, the pressure is to first go on missions, then get married and start the babies, and fit college in when you have the time. It's always been a big shock to me,…

@Imjustnotthatintoyou: They're SO RANDOM, I'd like to know what prevents them from hating each other. Is there some sort of disgusting hazing ritual? Blackmail?

@spitfire517: Sarah Palin, you old so-and-so!

This should be a corgi, not a terrier. I'm naming my next corgi Shop-Vac.

Bristol has long needed to tell her mother to fuck off and mind her own business. I don't believe Bristol has always been okay with her mother's management, or signed on to her mother's ideas. She can still do this, but as time passes, it's going to be harder and harder, and she's going to start buying into her…
