Just so you know, I'm not the only one he's stalking, so yes, he really is a slut!

I forgot about that, really, so thanks for reminding me. It is strange, isn't it? My first stalker!

My husband and I couldn't look any different from each other, other than our eye color, but I don't really like him, so maybe there's science behind this, afterall.

Please explain to me how a survivor could be a victim of overdiagnosis. That makes me zero to me.

Tell that to the number of my friends and my mother's friends whose lives were saved by routine mammograms. I had my first surgery at 32, and yes, the tumors were benign, but after watching one of my mom's friends die because her doctor convinced her that her tumor was not cancerous so she should just leave it, I was

Gotta agree. As the adults in the relationship, my husband and I have never felt the need to lie or barter - we make the decisions, and that's that. We now an almost-15 year-old who doesn't feel that he rules our roost or demands that the world revolves around him - he's a fantastic kid with a great life, and none of

Manpris, darling. Everyone knows that.

That every time I read Hemingway, the former tech editor in me positively aches to grab my red pen and punctuate every sentence properly. I do the same with Didion, who I find almost unable to understand at times.

My son's pitching coach saw me reading a book in my car today while I waiting for them to finish, and he asked me if it was that horrendous Shades of Grey. After I swallowed the vomit, I flashed the cover of my David Baldacci and said, "Oh, god, no. I have a degree in English!" I'm not sure what I meant by that, but

I see a bunch of pink starred people here. I am waiting to post this and see where I end up.

If you were on Jezebel, they would offer you a picture of a cake or pie. Lots of food/eating issues over in that morass of hearts and flowers.

Damn, I actually came over here and logged in to de-pink you and Remidios Varo got here first!

I have never understood why Having A Child = Automatic Mini-van Purchase. No amount of women with screechy midwestern accents using the phrase "swaggerwagon" will ever make them cool, so stop it! They are what they are - the scourge of the road. Traffic lane backed up? Yep, mini-van. On-ramp merging not happening?

@Nitesh2: Thanks! I'm pretty careful about not using the same password anywhere. And I'm banned from Jezebel, so Gawker is where I comment.

I used your list and found myself on it; if Gawker is the only site I use this name and password (which I've already changed), am I safe? I am tech-challenged, so forgive my ignorance, please.

@crowds: Well, the kid just spent 10 days on a school trip camping/biking/hiking/rafting through Montana/Yellowstone. We did the Grand Canyon/dude ranch in Arizona the year before. And we would still have to fly to get from Virginia to the West. We are thinking of doing San Diego, but still, that requires a flight to

@herbie: Well, he's 13, so it's still wrong. This brings up a whole other conflict for us with travelling.

@crowds: Trains can't get us to Costa Rica from the U.S., otherwise, I would be amenable to that!

It's one thing to be groped as an adult, but the thought of one of those adults groping my 13 year-old son is too much to handle. It's gross.
