Aw, that is cute! I love when schools get kids into sports teams; I grew up in St. Louis, and when the Cardinals were kicking baseball's ass all over the field in the 80s our school had all kinds of celebrations and parties and "wear red" days and stuff. It was cool.

To lose?

I totally agree. I don't understand the need of others to put down or make rude comments about anything they don't agree with or are uninterested in. Personally I see things all the time that don't interest me. So I skip over them. I see things all the time I disagree with. So I skip over them. I just don't understand…

Yes, but in your social circle, as you said, people are not married and do not have kids; they may well be adults in age but they do not have the responsibilities or lives of adults yet beyond taking care of themselves. My point was that once you have kids your life is expected to revolve around them and around…

Me either. I love Gail; she's fantastic and would have actually made that show worth watching.

Ugh. From the headline I actually thought for a minute that Robertson might have been saying something good; I know of cases where the Alzheimer's patient's spouse as essentially forced to divorce them (because of insurance/financial issues) in order for them to be accepted into this or that care facility or for them…

No, I totally hear you, and I agree. my personal theory is that adulthood has simply ceased to be fun, thanks to all the new Rules of Proper Behavior. When I was a kid I couldn't wait to be a grown-up; grown-ups went out to dinner in pretty clothes! grown-ups drank things with exotic names and had parties until late…

YES. Don't even get me started on the whole female superhero thing.

It is indeed brilliant, yeah.

HPV is NOT the only cause of cervical cancer.

I'm allergic to all kinds of stuff in sunscreens; not sure exactly what but I basically can't wear the vast majority of them. The second I put one on my face I turn beet red and itchy, and stay that way for days after. PABA-free does the same thing, as do most moisturizers with sunscreens. I have to hunt around for…

Yep. The Blogging Mafias in some communities can be terrifying. I've witnessed and heard some truly ugly stories.

So much of this, I believe, is just part of the silliness in the way prescription medications are handled anyway. Heaven forbid adults should be permitted to make their own decisions about what medications they take* and how many they're allowed to have on hand and why. It's not even the fault of the doctors, or…

I absolutely HATE the shady dealings that go on in the background of so many charities. It makes me ill just thinking of it. I keep a very small list of charities I'll actually donate to, and they tend to be organizations like RAINN or DebRA (which provides help and funds research in epidermolysis bullosa, a rare and…

I actually had the same thought. While I do think Upton's pictures were gorgeous and totally got and appreciated her point and her joke (and I agree with her, absolutely), I felt there was kind of a fuzzy area where she was making the joke and point not so much at AA's expense but at the expense of the women who…

Congrats D! Good for you!!

My point exactly. Six cars does not automatically equal "big racist cops have big racist fit."

See, I'm just not sure it is playing off that stereotype, is all.

I dunno. I agree with the others about this not being inherently sexist, and quite frankly, I am terrible at algebra. It always embarrassed and upset me; I just don't have that kind of mind. Like how people are aural or visual learners? I believe people are also either algebra or geometry people. I'm a visual learner,…

Worst P&P ever. Hated that film with a passion. It was a horrible adaptation. (The worst part was hearing Wright talk about how it was just too smart for some people and he'd made A Great Film and blah blah blah. No, you diluted and changed the characters, miscast awful actors, added a bunch of meaningless crap [I…
