Once you start showing off your ankles, it's all downhill from there.

I haven't thought about him in years until I saw this video.

And his jeans are even belted!

There is no way that "metrosexual" as a slur can stick. Obama rocks dad jeans in true, dorky dad fashion.

When I was pregnant with my son, I made it through the summer with frozen Cokes. They were perfect.

His cuts were so gorgeous. I have unruly curly hair and can also not ever achieve something like this, but I would give a pinkie to be able to.

Yeah, Martha seems pretty awesome. She's the one you want on your team no matter what you're doing. She's organized, powerful, and will get it done correctly. I imagine she's kind of intimidating in person, but she's earned what she has (of course Rachel has as well).

Let me join you on the creepy bench because that was my first thought too. Did he smell delicious and manly?

I just scrolled back up to check, and yeah, she totally does. Her outfit looks like a high-priced Halloween costume from one of those strip mall stores that is only open for a couple of months before the holiday.

Yes, it had me crying too at my desk.

Yes! I'll take Jeni's over Graeter's any day. The Bangkok Peanut is amazing.

That's true. I had foolishly forgotten about Bender.

I was referring to this gem.

I'm pretty sure everyone knew from the get-go that Palin wasn't electable, no matter how much wishful thinking the Crazy Right wanted to do.

Wouldn't Romney appearing on SNL make him too cool to be electable? Where do we draw the coolness line? Or can robots never be cool?

It's kind of surprising that it took this long for Shep to crack.

I used to always feel disheartened when I'd get a new issue of Seventeen or YM and they'd have that little feature about the makeup and clothes used on the cover. The makeup artist would always say, "So-and-so has such perfect skin, we really didn't need to use much concealer or foundation." I had pretty bad acne from…

I've always used Lynne Rosetto Kasper's method of making a coffee concentrate, which is basically this same thing but without the contraption ([www.publicradio.org]). When I make regular hot coffee, I use a ceramic filter, so that helps with the acidity issues.

Aw, poor thing doesn't like riding in the car. Our husky Alice doesn't like being in the front seat either. So, she gets to hang out in the back of the car while our coonhound rides shotgun.

We never had snacks just whenever we wanted, so when I first moved out from home I was kind of blown away by people who just ate pretzels whenever they wanted on the couch. It was kind of revolutionary to me. Although, out of habit I still don't eat snacks at all hours.
