@vivianthelibrarian: Or give him a freaking pedicure when he is going to be wearing shoes for the entire pageant?

@Justine: Yeah, I'm single and perfectly content with doing my own thing until I meet a cool guy to date (none of which have ended up panning out), but I turn 33 next month, and ugh...I really want kids and I know the time to (easily) do that is starting to run down.

@boxspelunker: I was in college in 1996, and I would kill for what we at the time called "sorority pants". The black, slightly boot-cut, lower mid-rise non-jean pants. They don't seem to exist anymore...

@Iwannabekate: "There are much bigger things to be worrying about than a group of people who are being asked to not look like sluts while trying to recruit new members. "

@unsecretcrush: The story above is terrible, but what you pointed out is indeed kind of awesome.

@Tambar: Oooh, got it now, and I definitely see your point! Sorry for misunderstanding :)

@Tambar: What? I believe they were— the piece is referring to embryos created for IVF by fertilizing eggs. There are usually extra left over, and they can either be frozen for later if additional pregnancies are wanted, or disposed of. And in this, disposed of by putting back in the woman's body to die naturally.

Assuming the item is true, why would Jen Garner publicize or comment on something so personal?

Yes, absolutely, and I even think if it was a male Democrat it would have been used against him much more than it was used against Brown.

@Hippopotame wants a star, dammit.: I'm wondering if some of it is also a language issue then, as I didn't realize using "invite" is literally the equivalent of "treating", an English word he's not familiar with so couldn't explain to me conceptually.

@dridirtitini: My sis has lived in France for 10 years now, and (at least in her experience) she said men there tend to take a sort of shotgun approach to hitting on women. As in, hit on every woman in sight, even if not particularly interested in her, and if ocassionally one actually sticks, more the better.

@Evie Havok: I don't see that as ironic racistm *at all*. Growing up and in high school, our cafeteria ladies looked more like the Chris Farley character on SNL with Adam Sandler singing (which is why I always lurved that skit). And in college, they were students on work-study just like me.

@Gretchen now has TWO kittens: Yeah I think it's pretty funny how pretty much the whole state of MI will make Yooper jokes, but then Yoopers make troll jokes, and I think pretty much everyone near there will make cheesehead WI jokes. A circle of life, it is.

@Gouda: Only if they wear their dance shoes all day on various trips around town, versus just in rehearsal and performances.

@a magician named gob: Wow, really?? If so, I'm impressed they made it that long then!

@Commentista: Oh I figured, was just furthering the point.

@KatyLou: Yup, that definitely takes precedence over 50,000-100,000 lives lost and many more displaced.

@foodandshoes: Sounds like she listens and pays attention— that alone is hard to find these days!

@foodandshoes: My uterus is up by my lungs right now, and it's *seriously* getting old. I'd kill for some laudanum...

@KLondike5: Child abuse!
