Oh god, I don't know. I just finished season three and it felt devastating. Like, Bell, you were in so far over your head. Gah. I'm sad all over again.

My eyes are rolling out of my head. How about we not judge everyone on everything. Especially on today, of all days.

My first perfume was a Love’s Babysoft set with like 5 fragrances. In junior high I switched between Sunflowers and Covergirl Navy (you always feel perfect in...). In high school I wore Gap Dream and then switched to Clinique Happy like everyone else and their mother. There was an amber scented Estée Lauder perfume in…

I can still remember how Om smells.

Fucking crop tops. Last year it was leggings, who knows what it will be next year? I just gave up. Seriously. I never wrote any referrals for dress code this year, but I did ask a few girls to keep their hoodies on. I felt like an asshole, because I do think most school dress codes are pretty sexist, but I figured it…

He has a sad because the county (Sonoma) wouldn’t approve his winery plans. Can you imagine that shitshow?

Word. Batiste gives me that perfect platinum matte look on day 3, and the non-tinted version is just right when my roots come in. The blonde tint is way too yellow, though.

A friend from college is in this video. I think the premise is cool, and I hope they have success with adopting out the kitties. Although, I'm firmly TeamDog, my favorite yoga position is Cat-Cow, so I'm on board.

Thank you so much for sharing your story. My husband and I are facing our own challenges with having a family, and while we do fit into the heteronormative box, any family we have will not be conceived “the old fashioned way.” It is a daunting experience filled with a ton of assholes who think their opinions are…

Well, your RH factor (positive or negative) doesn’t matter in a transplant, if that’s any consolation. Recipients with blood type O have the most difficult type finding a match.

This is a lovely story. Living donation is brave and selfless. I will always feel thankful to my husband’s living donor. I tried to donate, but was not a match. However, I feel pretty strongly that if someone I knew needed a transplant, I would volunteer to donate.

More common than you think. Husbands and wives frequently donate kidneys to each other. I was not a match for my husband, but his donor was a non-blood relative. His step-father’s sister-in-law to be exact. In fact, the nephrologists remarked that they were almost as close as a sibling match. And cadaver donors are…

Thanks for that. He also uses the LoseIt app. I've suggested WW before, but he's not interested. He's very much a go-your-own-way weight loss guy.

This was really powerful, especially in identifying how easy it is to slip in to disordered eating. I’ve never done meal replacements, but I’ve used LoseIt a few times with varying degrees of “success”. Ultimately, I’ve had to give up because the calorie counting drives me crazy. My weight is stable and I can run a…

10% of people are born with only one kidney.

Not terribly dickish but somewhat disappointing: Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine went to my high school and his mother was a beloved teacher there. She’s not relevant to the story, except she still lived in town, so Tom would come back and visit her. When I was in high school, during the height of Rage’s fame,…

Yo, Abraham grew up in a Sumerian city-state. Uruk, I think, or maybe Ur. You know, home of Gilgamesh and all that. Anyway, his dad was an idol-maker, and Abraham smashed all the idols in the shop. I think it’s part of the first covenant that Abraham had with God.

Really. My husband was told to avoid rare and medium-rare, but medium is ok. He’s 1 year post kidney transplant and, believe it or not, had only 1 cold so far (knock wood!). He’s definitely sworn off sushi, but his mom, who is 15 years post kidney transplant, will eat sushi occasionally. I wonder if different…

No, I am with you. I wear thongs under my running tights. I sweat so damn much, I just need a little extra absorption down there. The thongs I wear are more like g-strings in the back, so no chafing.
