We were born naked. That doesn’t mean you should walk around Canada in December without any clothes on.

The scariest thing about Fall River and New Bedford is visiting there now with the knowledge that these were once the richest cities in all of America.

I love Mark, but I hope they never, ever let him take over Behind Closed Ovens. You know we’d get a whole year of poop and vomit stories filled with unimaginable horror, yet still too engrossing to resist.

People can retire from borderline?! That is GREAT NEWS!!

If the situation were reversed you know men would be crowing about how single women should compete for the prize of attracting a husband, and telling wives to be extra-attentive to their husbands or risk being traded in for a younger model. But because there are more men than women, it’s the women’s obligation to meet…

Ugh. Shit like this is why I flinch when I read anyone attempting an economic analysis of dating and romantic relationships. They’re not advocating some kind of sexy menage book scenario here. What’s being described is two or three men who few women want to marry purchasing a trafficked woman or a particularly low…

I fangirl Tara Jacoby. Regularly.

I seriously would hang a print of this in my house.

So it sounds like you could run an excellent side hustle of wedding veils on Etsy.

Imagine the reaction if Nancy Pelosi said something like this. It’d be endless handwringing and “Can a woman be a mother and a congressperson?” on every major news network. Someone on Fox would openly suggest that this is why women should stay home.

My favourite option is men passing to offspring their father’s surname, women passing to offspring their mother’s maiden surname. Win win!

I can tell you what we did, in your same situation. We gave our child my husband’s last name. In the school setting, I use my own name still. When someone (like my son’s kindergarten teacher,) insists on addressing me by my husband and son’s last name, I just let her. She knows who I am and it’s just a passive…

I took my husband’s name for three reasons. 1., I was really excited about getting married and felt the name change somehow added emphasis to the occasion; 2., I didn’t feel any particular attachment to my family name; and 3., my husband’s name is easy to spell. Hyphenation felt clunky to me, and it literally never…

A thick, higher calorie drink was shown to be far more satiating than a thick, lower calorie drink.

This man is not wrong. I, too, would like Lincoln Chafee to stay in the race and continue expressing his daffy positivity, smiling expectantly at the world like he’s baked us a muffin and very much hopes we’ll enjoy it.

THIS IS BREAKING MY HEART

Your hunger drive isn’t just about how full your stomach is. Eating salads and broccoli all day will make you more prone to binge as your blood sugar crashes. You just can’t get enough calories on vegetables alone. Salads also bring the danger of salad dressing, which is a huge problem when you’re trying to lose…

Thank you for writing this. Oatmeal and potatoes have been slandered long enough.

Potatoes have been demonstrated in studies to have a vastly higher calories-to-satiation ratio than other foods, actually.

Well she went to school with my great aunt, who’s 82, so. She’s also 82. There. Mystery solved again.
