Yeah, who has iPod shuffle money to waste on passive aggressive gifts?

The supplies are less that $5: Something that size would probably be about half the size of a roll of fabric ($3-6, depending on where you buy it, if it's on sale, if you've got a coupon). A skein of embroidery floss is about $0.35-$0.40, and you won't use the whole thing on a project this size. If you cross stitch…

As a cross stitcher, I'm frequently aghast at how much people will charge (and then agonize over whether I'm asking a fair price for my own work). I like Chez Sucre Chez's work, but a few lines of text on 14ct Aida is not worth $60+. With that price, I'd also like to see what the back looks like—I haven't sold…

That man is a saint. I would've been trying to crawl out the bathroom window as soon as she mentioned her "married by 23, kids by 25, I just turned 30" timeline.

If you're sexually active (or didn't put out with a guy who like, talked to you or maybe bought you pizza), you're a slut. If you won't put out, like, EVER, you're a prude. Also, make sure your weight is exactly what it should be, because nobody likes fat chicks (except they give good blowjobs—you know, because…

You poor thing. I know it's just so hard when people who're constantly objectified and discriminated against start getting so uppity.

Handmade gifts. I've been sticking it to the man for a few years now just by making gifts. And helping people with more money than time stick it to the man by taking commissions.

But not proud enough of Virginia to wear the actual state flag? Or even one of the three Confederate national flags? How about a square shape as the Army of Northern Virginia's battle flag actually was? I mean, how weird is it that all these people "celebrating their heritage" don't know what it actually looks like?

I do not avoid Starbucks, LaComtesse...but I do deny them my essence.

I love stuff like this (and also get weird looks for it). I am also super-stoked that my library's going to have a book discussion of "Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers." Which you should also read.

Did your foot get cold and blue in places? I'm starting to wonder if discretion is still the better part of virtue.

You might get lucky with certain brands of thigh highs, but don't waste your money on One Size tights. Just being 5'8" puts me in Medium/Large for Hue and Target. Buying opaque tights I haven't had a problem with the stretched out/sheer thighs, but some of Target's patterned tights start showing the strain (and…

Wearing control top, sometimes I'll just hike the suckers up as far as they'll go.

Sunday I managed to stub my toe on the couch. Except instead of just banging into it, swearing a lot, and then getting on with my life, this time I nuked the little bastard. I just want to let you guys know that buddy taping is way more complicated than YouTube videos make it look. Especially since the video foot…

I have friends that I send notes and postcards too. Usually with the subtext "I was bored, had some stamps, and thought you would enjoy looking at this" since any actual information usually gets conveyed online. But everybody likes getting mail that isn't bills or junk!

Seriously, Cosmo, right now I've got more use for a small styling comb. I'm not shaving until that day in March when I look down at my hairy sasquatch legs and decide that spring has arrived.

Don't forget that we all dramatically orgasm during anal sex too! Oh, and that you can just go back and forth. (I think what really scares me is the guys who don't understand how much San Fernando Valley Magic is involved in a porn scene...)

Sometimes the guys are just props. Watching recent porn parodies, I noticed that waxing isn't just for gay porn because some scenes would be a theatrically orgasmic woman writhing and moaning, and the guy she was on top of was basically just a pair of legs and a waxed ass.

Native speaker. Native speaker who's currently teaching kids how to read good (and do other stuff good too) and teaching Critical Reading/Writing SAT classes.

I really wish we could focus on reluctant readers without always assuming reluctant readers=boys. Of course I want boys to enjoy reading, but a lot of female reluctant readers are being forgotten (or girls who don't already love reading are being turned off by the push for more boy-centric books)
