This is great advice. I was very good at getting this stupid, high-speed printer to work again and again, after getting paper-jammed and what not. So I was interrupted constantly in my work, which had nothing to do with this g-d printer, to get it working again. This went on for weeks until I told them I wouldn't do…

I think they're really cute. And I think when everyone is wearing the exact same pouffy cocktail dress and heels, it looks boring.

My sister makes a fruit cake that is out of this freakin world. She makes it with nuts and cherries and grapefruit peel she candies herself. And then she soaks it in alcohol for a month and finishes it with a envelope of marzipan. Worth killing for.

I keep seeing Cameron Diaz in that wreath, not Reese.

"Period" is a euphemism. It's menses. (I'm sorry to be that person!)

Identical twin here. Even now, as an adult, if I hear my sister's name in a public place, I turn around to make sure someone isn't talking to me.

I feel so bad just reading this. I hope you all can work it out with compassion and respect. I'm so sorry :-(

"...I can't possibly imagine someone puking in a meeting at work, so I'm guessing that this never actually happened."

If I could star you a hundred times, I would.

We have excellent taste.

I would marry Fred Astaire right now, and I suspect he's dead. That man was top drawer.

I was feeling bad for you until you threw your relatives under the bus. Unless they are abusive assholes, your family wants the best for you. Your aunt and uncles probably love you more than you'll realize until you have your own nieces and nephews. Because they only see you rarely it's probably hard for them to find…

That is the worst. What a disgusting, horrible person your friend married. I'm sure she feels humiliated and wants to crawl into a hole. If she were my close friend (and I don't know how close you are) I would point out to her that this guy used her BECAUSE she has her shit together and could support him, not because…

I never question a breakup because they are nearly always well-thought out, anguished over, second-guessed, and finally acted upon. Unlike hooking up, which tends to be spontaneous, impulsive and often rash.

Gall is right!

"The only time I can see people not hating the word is when it wasn't being talked about at all."

I don't specialize in sub-grouping feminists, but I'd still like to reply.

No, what marks you as old is the fact you didn't take 3 seconds to google it :-)

I think your bf is great for saying that. If more men stood up to people who make jokes about rape, the world would be a better place.

But didn't the rapist in the article above make a joke about how many roofies he put in the author's drink, as he was giving her the drink?
