that wretched lisa whelchel, aka blair from facts of life, has a book about raising children in her little evangelical world: hot sauce punishment is in there.

@onestrawplz: i can't stress this enough: you are at your most fertile till 27. then you go downhill. after 35, seriously downhill. the media is not telling you this, the media is telling you that you can have a baby at ANY age and you can, if you use donor eggs. if you want to use your own eggs don't push off babies…

@they call me ginger: maybe you should be my lawyer. ;-)

@they call me ginger: that you'd know, as a lawyer, these cases go nowhere and intellectual property is hard to define and even harder to proscecute

@Alibelle: people constantly ask to take pic of my work and i let them: the pics are very well documented on my website. if they want to copy, they will. and will get away with it time and again. i'm a well-known designer and have been knocked off numerous times. there is no winning unless you're the multi-million…

@they call me ginger: and this is why i've stopped hiring lawyers when my work gets lifted. heartbreaking, but true

@Pigasus: why is it ok for everyone to be ragging on the photog? his pic was used, hands down. i don't much care if the pic was bad, or not really "his" because he took a pic of a car, yadda yadda. when your design is stolen—and if you're talented, it will be—it's NOT ok. people do it all the time, companies make…

@dayslikethis: the harassment on the street scares the crap out of me, and i get it daily in some neighborhoods. (not mine, i could walk naked down my street and nobody would even notice i was a girl)

the intellectual property laws have got to change. as a designer, my work is constantly ripped off and i have no recourse because i'm not a big company.

@BAngieB: or the people who tell you to exercise and eat a better diet. don't you think i've tried everything in front of me? do you think i would choose having a day of the week pillbox when i could just go for a walk instead?

i have very small hands, very small fingers. no matter what i do, i cannot get an OB high enough no matter what i try. so i remain with tampax.

andie didn't belong with duckie, she belonged with blaine. i know this because i am andie, and i am still waiting for him. :-)

@curiousdruid: prematurely.

@curiousdruid: and it never, ever occurred to you that this baby might have come early? (so she had, actually, planned "correctly.) or that she was pregnant by accident? (which can happen, by the way.)

i'd like to know why feldman thinks violating her privacy is acceptable behavior. and i think it's time to call gloria allred.

@ThatBroad: his residence: visiting his sister maggie in north slope. they were once spotted at the rite aid on 7th ave. i never see anyone

how did i miss my boyfriend jakey on the train? dammit. i never see anyone.

@DeccaLeChat: i feel too young to have my giant day of the week pillbox, and i'm 45.

@MissSmartyjeans: if the mr. wants you to be there, i promise you that you are expected/planned for. not all weddings have that sort of bridal party table, and the ones i've been to i've always been the one without the +1, and people always sat with their dates. is this a new trend? (granted, i'm 45, but have been to…

@DeccaLeChat: there was an IBS med that was taken off the market, much to the dismay of millions of IBS sufferers. (i have IBS *and* IBD, b/c i'm special that way.)
