Skin care secret: genetics. Besides basic good sense (sunscreen, smoking etc etc) there’s nothing you can do to outrun genetics. I have taken zero care of my face and thanks to my parentage look 10 years younger than I am. Unsurprisingly so did my dad and mom.

I had my faith in humanity restored earlier this week.

I’m getting an IUD on wednesday and I’m nervous. I know usually everything is fine but I all I can think of is the horror stories and I’m freaking myself out. I know it’s going to be great! I’m excited to not have to deal with a nuvaring and hopefully get some of my sex drive back and all of the other positives! but…

This may be lost in the grays, but here is goes.

My beloved cat was diagnosed with cancer, yesterday. Tonight, I need therapy. Options:

I got my IUD! I got it on Tuesday. Holy hell did it hurt when she measured my uterus. So far so good though. I’ve been slightly crampy, which I know is normal. But I almost feel like I can feel it? Like if I lean forward or something. Maybe my body needs time for it to settle? Or it could be I’m just making it all up…

It took me way too long to see what you were doing.

You know what, on the face of it this story makes me very sad. Her last days were just filled with terror and rape. But what I have learned from the many cop supporters on Gawker is that you can never take a story at face value. She could have been a willing bride and those were not rapes but sex between a married…

You don’t have to be hormonal to feel sad about the disgusting affairs of the world.

I like Miley. She’s living her life and doing her thing. Her voice is unique; one doesn’t hear very many contralto voices in pop music anymore. Everyone wants to see who can hit a higher note than the next person, meanwhile I’ve played this video of her cover of Summertime Sadness over and over for the past few months.

Not as interesting as her shame-the-homeless masterwork, but since the Sergeants Benevolent Association has picked up that beat, she had to find something new.

Starred for “dinglehopper”.

I just can’t resist the urge to ruin your WHOLE DAY, soooo.... The other day I went on Facebook, and a friend of my fiance’s had posted a link to their Bed Bath and Beyond registry — along with a status explaining that they couldn’t invite all their loved ones to the wedding, but that they would be so grateful if…

I actually don’t mind those, it takes a lot of effort and guesswork out of the gift-giving. Ah, you’re getting married? What can I afford? One fork? Excellent, happy wedding, here is your dinglehopper.

Ugh, no. I honestly hope the bride does “confront” the bridesmaid, just so the BM can see what a shitty friend the bride is and drop her from her life.

The opposite has happened to us. My husband was best man at a wedding in Manhattan. The bachelor party was in town here and my husband covered the groom’s hotel portion ($500!!!!!!!!) temporarily bc the groom couldn’t afford it. Ok, fine. Then we flew to NYC for 5 days, stayed in a hotel, went out with them, went to…

I was in my best friend since kindergarten’s wedding last year. She knew I had financial problems and instead of an expensive gift, she asked me to paint her a fingerprint tree for her guest book. I was so relieved to be able to spent so little and give her something I knew she would treasure forever instead. Her…

I think anyone who doesn’t at least consider the financial circumstances of some of the key players in their wedding (the wedding party, parents, etc.) when putting it together is kind of an asshole. For the one wedding I’ve been in, my friend did her best to find inexpensive dresses and let us choose our own shoes…

I honestly don't understand this kind of greed and entitlement. Being in a wedding is expensive- bm dress, bachelorette party, wedding shower- and she wants MORE? Smdh.
