I did apple cider and baking soda for about four months (after weening my hair off shampoo for a few weeks), but my hair started getting really dull and limp. I wish my hair had stayed looking awesome!

Amen.

If Schwarz is so worried about dogs ending up at the pound, perhaps he should be selling them based on the breed characteristics that aren't related to how they might look like a hip Dire Wolf rip off.

Well, I took lessons at a dressage school for a year, and the way the saddle was positioned was different than hunt seat. (I know this because I set my stirrups incorrectly and my teacher specifically asked me if I had ridden hunt seat before.) So, I can only assume she's getting used to the positioning of the…

Let me compare it to taking Jazz lessons on the flute. I can still say I'm taking Jazz lessons, even if I'm only a beginner and technically learning the basics of the flute first.

I recently bought some bras from http://www.hankypanky.com/. They're a lingerie company that makes everything in the US. I've been trying to buy only US made clothes because the working conditions must be somewhat better or second-hand clothes from thrift and consignment shops. The prior has been really hard,…

Crap. This is just as bad as the beginning of UP. So much dust in my eyes.

That's because corporations are people and politicians are demons.

All the kindle commercials are kind of like that. It's their style for some reason? Schmarmy is the only word I can think of to describe it.

I agree with LaComtesse. We don't see a lot of "normal" looking people on tv, unless they are cute old people.

Oops! That's what I get for reading in the morning with minimal caffeine.

I also love this Kindle commercial that I just saw a couple weeks ago.

I tried quinoa for the first time a few weeks ago and really liked it. Perhaps this recipe will change your mind?

:( Care to elaborate?

I don't really see how that would be any different from meeting someone on an online dating website, which is how I met my husband...so go for it! Just don't weirdly pepper your conversation with things you know he likes from his Facebook ("Oh you know what I love, such and such...Oh you do too? What a coincidence!"

Ha. You read my mind.
