Same problem—I would love to see them, but $200 a pop here was too much. It's a drag, because I will worship Stevie Nicks until the sun goes cold, but what can you do.

The article says one of the designers made it.

I'll have to counter his despair with some Deery-Lou, my favorite.

Part of it is definitely water; all contestants go to extremes to dehydrate before the weigh-in. She could have put 5-10 pounds back on in a day or two, and the rest over two months just by stopping the extreme exercising. As long as she can stop that gain now, she played the smartest game she could.

I am all about the science! Plus it will give me a place to put the poop. :D

Alas, I have a cat and while the power of her stare toward the sounds in the attic is very intense, it hasn't driven them away. It's pretty cyclical at this point. They show up in spring, bang around and then disappear in the summer when the temperature up there soars. You get used to it.

After some poor financial years, my husband and I did this starting in January and continuing, more or less, to now. Three months in, and we've already put away more than we managed in the last…two years, perhaps? On one hand it feels great because we are consciously saving for a much-needed emergency fund as well as…

Like most attics in Florida, ours has recurring visits by rats. We keep fantasizing about a Rent-a-Terrier service. Or Rent-a-Python, which would help with the infestation of giant snakes in the Everglades by giving them something useful to do.

I think his contract was for six, and I'm rightfully humiliated to have that information in my brain. With Avengers 2 being shot, that leaves him with two more Cap appearances to go.

The similarities in campaign that you noted are interesting, because the women I know who are ALL about their Down Syndrome kids and how happy and cute and wonderful they are and how could anyone ever consider not having one—those women are also rabidly anti-choice.

They do. They just don't get put into commercials.

It's a lovely video, and, as a person with a family member with Down Syndrome, I can attest that people with it can live a good life. But, it is completely disingenuous to brush aside the very wide range of abnormalities that come with the syndrome and pretend that it's not that big of a deal. It is a big deal. For…

What, you don't want something with garish patterns, ruffles and bizarrely impractical zippers, buttons and plastic bedazzlements? Because according to every single designer of plus-sized clothing, these are apparently what we desperately want.

No, it's as awful as you expect. Not only are the "styles" hideous, but they're also so cheaply made that they hang weirdly, vary greatly in size even when all that's different is the color, and fall apart after a few washes. But let's be honest here. If a person is only willing to pay $10 for a shirt or sweater, they…

That's man-thinkin' right there. You just hop down to the store and buy any old tux-like suit you see, right? Snip here, bit of one-hour tailoring there, tie up your unkempt man bun with a rubber band you found on the sidewalk, and you're ready to hit the red carpet. Why do the laydeez make such a big deal out of it?…

I'll laugh even harder when fundamentalist Muslims grab on to this with both hands and go nuts discriminating against every infidel. All that crowing about "no Sharia, no enclaves" from the far right, and then they hand them the means to do it. You know how I know there's no god? Because it isn't possible for a…

These are beautiful and pretty wearable looking. But, I wonder if and when we can just refer to him as a designer and not "former Project Runway contestant," as if he just won and this is all a fluke of television. It may have gotten him here, but twelve seasons of shows is a pretty fine track record. Move on!

In my case, the dynamics of this four-sided relationship are exhausting—emotionally, intellectually, financially, physically. It's very easy to become disenfranchised in your own life in a situation in which other parties are operating, and reclaiming that franchise can come off looking like selfishness, which leads…

I'm sure there are loads of people ready to jump all over me on this one, but I'll say it anyway since this study skipped around it—do not marry someone who already has children from a previous relationship.

I can't speak to other players because I don't watch the show, but when I played Dave Madden back in 2005 he used this exact strategy. He won, what, 14/15 times? I don't understand what all the hubbub's about; this isn't new. Is it that Chu is so smirky about it? That he said out loud that he's doing it as opposed to…
