I don’t watch their show, but I did watch that little clip. I’ve seen the Kardashian girls in photos, but rarely speaking in videos. Do they ALL have huge lips? I’m a little grossed out by all that glossy-lippy puffiness. Good for Bruce for being so brave. I really wish him (and her) the very best; I hope things get…

I love caffé macchiato the Italian way - espresso with a dash of hot (or cold which would be macchiato freddo) milk. The actual milk, not just a blob of foam. Is the blob of foam on top of an espresso the way Starbucks does it? I’ve started explaining how I would like my macchiato when I go to coffee places because I…

Shanna was the heroine who was always “mewling,” wasn't she? My sis and I used to crack up about that.

Kathleen Woodiwiss was the historical romance Queen of Rape Fantasies. Flame and the Flower, Shanna, OMG, Wolf and the Dove. Beatrice Small was even more hardcore (Kadin, anyone?) and Jude Devereaux kept getting tamer and tamer. I do still love her Velvet Series.

I can make beds no problem, my cat usually wait until I’m done before hopping back onto the bed. The problem is I CANNOT get her fur off the fleece blankets my kids use. She is just too.damn.fluffy.

Team vasectomy here too! I used a diaphragm for a while, but after we decided we did not want any more children, Mr. Fiorentina volunteered to be snipped. I was FLOORED b/c he’s such a hypochondriac and b/c he’s a total chicken when it comes to any kind of surgery or medical intervention. Ten years later, it was…

My Italian MIL is her doppleganger, and also wears the most incredibly loud print dresses that she makes herself. My MIL always has a handbag over her arm, just like HRH, and I'm guessing the contents are pretty similar: handkerchief or tissues, lipstick, and glasses, just add the wallet for my MIL.

Yup, just a quick shake and it will be smooth again. My expressed milk used to get a thick layer of fat on top pretty soon after pumping.

You're so right! I live in Northern NJ and I constantly get the Giants' wins shoved in my face. No matter how well the Pats do, I'm told they're cheaters, and it doesn't matter anyway because they lost twice to the Giants. This was so wonderful, especially because I was at a Super Bowl party with my closest friends,…

So true, the cat's all, "Yeah, it's cool. I didn't really want to sleep in that bed anyway. It's just for dumb dogs. I much prefer sitting up here with you. I do. Really. Turn off the damn camera."

Wait, are you me? (I'm almost 47.) And would your daughter try to do your makeup too? "But, Motheeeerrr, I can do a smokey eye, you know I can! Puh-leeez! C'mon, and ew, your hair..."

David Hallberg was dancing with Katie Couric.

Straddle the bidet facing the taps, and turn them on gently. Slowly adjust the spray so it is comfortable. Use a mild soap or cleanser, and pat dry. A bidet is extremely useful on those days when your flow is very heavy, it's late in the afternoon, and you don't want to take a shower. I have eczema and I can't shower…

YES! That's what I do all the time. I'll change it if there's poop on the string, otherwise I try to keep it there. I hate wasting a perfectly good tampon.

The Dowager Countess is a master of throwing shade; Isobel comes close, and Mary tries, but she's too overtly hostile most of the time. The best shade gifs are surely all NeNe's expressions, and Maggie Smith in high Dowager Countess dudgeon.

AMEN! I love to eat, and I LOVED eating during both my pregnancies. I gained around 35-40 lbs with my daughter (7lbs 12.5 oz at birth), then 3 years later I gained 54 lbs with my son (9lbs 4 oz at birth). I did have one major food issue with my second pregnancy - I had so many fried egg and cheese sandwiches in my…

OMG Beatrice Small! I still have "The Kadin" - remember that one? Yes, her writing is atrocious but when I read her books as a horny teenager, she got me super "tingly" every time.

Stay in the room, and get the bagels and fixin's AFTER the birth because it is likely mom will be starving once she's settled down. I sent my husband out for food after our daughter was born and he came back with pizza and baklava. I would have LOVED bagels with all the fixin's, especially b/c my daughter was born in…

Rabbit can be absolutely delicious. I used to buy it up on Arthur Ave. in the Bronx and I made it quite often for my kids. My daughter still says, "I love bunny; it's so tasty!" I have a really easy, traditional recipe from Tuscany if anyone is interested.

This is the great article by Jodie Kerr about discharge stains. I really enjoyed the Circle of Life one too because they are two different discussions.
