I know! The litmus test for being interesting is how much and how graphically you talk about sex with your immediate family members. (But, for real, though, we are pretty boring and uptight and white. Thanks for noticing!)

After some recent weight loss (close to 100 lbs, leaving me fluctuating btwn 270-280) I've grown quite fond of Papi's Brazilian Trunks. The patterned ones are fun.

I like "desk-sitting" as a situation.

There was a part in the interview when she said something about not seeking him out, how she had caught him staring at her many times, and how he thought she looked like a movie star of something. And she says “I knew he was trouble” kind of giggling. Shades of Humbert Humbert, blaming the child.

That’s disgusting. Her excuse is that as a 12 year old he had a crush on her? I can’t even respond to the stupidity of that statement. A child thinks you are pretty, that’s nice. You are an adult whose job it is to set extremely clear boundaries. Having an innocent crush on an authority figure should be safe for a kid…

Not necessarily, in every case. Sometimes, due to dysfunctional family dynamics, often borne of multi-generational histories of childhood sexual abuse, parents DON’T protect their daughters. I know. I am one of them.

Hell, I don't have those feelings for my students, and most of them are are actual, bona fide adults (I teach undergrads). My role is incompatible with desire. I don't feel bad for her, despite the obvious mental illness—she has done too much damage on too many fronts.

Ugh, that is disgusting. Most people who have worked with kids have had a kid get a crush on them. No normal adult takes that as a reason to have sex with the kid.

That face is like a bolt of lightning.

F'in paparazzi.

Mirenesse, hands down. This is the stuff of dreams. No flaking, no smearing, and it comes off with warm/hot water. I have never been able to wear mascara without it getting all over under my eyes, until I tried Mireness iCurl. It's expensive, but you can buy it in a small tube rather than a full size, so it's…

Part of quinoa's claim to protein fame is that it is a "complete" or "high quality" protein, which just means that it contains all nine of the amino acids we need in our diet.

I bet you wait tables?

So much wrong with this article. Don't even know where to begin.

Tipping is weird. I said it, its weird. I tip of course, but the problem is each establishment does it differently. Most people don't even know some people don't even get the tips you give them. Some pot luck it, some does % (more tables more you get), some don't care how good service you did, some want the exact…

Disclaimer time: I live and eat 98+% of my meals in Washington State, one of 7 states that doesn't have a different minimum wage for tipped and non-tipped employees. The waiter or waitress in whatever restaurant I am in makes at least minimum wage which, coincidentally, is what I make in my retail job.

Man, I love these articles where we all get to compete for the title of the best/most humble tipper.

Tipping IS absolute bullshit and I would love to end the practice, but that's not gonna happen unless wages for serving staff are brought up to reasonable levels. We are unfortunately stuck with an awful system of compensation for a very small segment of the working population for the foreseeable future.

I live in a country where it is not the culture to tip and I understand some of her points...
