@pixelsnader: Yeah. elizabethbarone.com belongs to a real estate agent. I do have elizawhat.com, though. That's my blog. I want a domain where I can just set up a splash page and link to all of my personal and professional projects, social media, etc, so that it's sort of like a central hub.

@gil002: I wouldn't use .org, as those should only be used by nonprofits. Maybe if I get elizabethbarone.net, the real estate agent will relinquish her domain name! Heh.

@iHack: I've thought of getting .net or .me. .name doesn't appeal to me at all.

@dpcnull: I'd rather have a domain that is easy for people to remember. All of those dots could get really confusing.

I wish that people would quit freaking out at the fact that you can Google your name or that employers are using what they find on Google when they make the decision on whether to hire you or not.

@straightshooter1: If you don't want something to be linked to you, just don't include it on your splash page. It's as simple as that.

What sucks is, [MyName.com] isn't available. There's another Elizabeth Barone out there, except she sells real estate and is middle aged. The next best thing for me would be my first and middle name as my .com: elizabethkaylene.com. Would this be an okay alternative? What do you guys think?

@LaComtesse: If you Google my name, everything I've done on the internet comes up right away. My rule of thumb is, if I couldn't share it with my parents, I shouldn't share it online. That being said, an employer shouldn't use stuff like that against employees. That would be like someone telling my employer I'm a

Employers need to understand that people aren't just work machines. As long as you aren't associating the company's name with your stuff, who cares? If I ever got fired for having a blog outside of work, I'd laugh in my employer's face. It's absolutely ridiculous.

@Elvisisdead: Fried turkey is THE best Thanksgiving invention ever.

@orev: I only ever use a few inches, and my fried chicken is always crispy-crispy and never too oily. It's all about temperature regulation and heating it up enough before beginning. After you do it often enough, you can basically "eyeball" the temperature by listening to the sounds your food is making when frying.

I'm so happy for her. I really hope that she won't have to go through another surgery.

America's Next Top Model is stupid. Tyra is an idiot. I'm kind of disturbed that these poses with animals were so sexual.

@MsFeasance: I'm allergic to wool, so hell no for me!

@JinxyMcDeath: Agreed 100%. Parents leaving early is kind of like smokers getting an extra break; it comes in handy for those who need it, but can inspire jealousy in those who don't. I'm a smoker but don't have kids yet.

@Devi: You think so? I didn't think she'd had anything done.

@Zoidbert: Oh, haha, this is my duh moment of the day!

I work a part-time job in a business casual setting, and also have a side business where I work from home in, well, sweats. I've been trying to break this habit, as I miss having a personal style.

This is going to be SO helpful for when my boyfriend and I go to Florida in June. We've been together almost four years, but this will be our first real vacation — we've gone away for long weekends before — and I'm expecting 50% of our nights being date nights, doing various activities. Now I have a good idea of what
