Now I'm intrigued. WHY did they break up??

I just saw my first Nutella commercial here in the U.S., and I was so excited (it's been available in the supermarket, but remained relatively unknown, I feel)!

Ladies, I think you're the ones who have become accustomed to too much privilege, not the gentledudes. America was founded on on hard work and persistence. You can't expect victimhood to just be HANDED to you. You need to EARN it. Look, anybody can accuse a dude of assault; that's easy! But when you come crawling…

@glaneuse: Lol, I guess I'll take the opportunity to say that I never hit a child, nor do I actually condone corporal punishment in schools. Not b/c I'm such a pacifist, but b/c data show that negative reinforcement just doesn't work as well as positive.

You know, it's times like this when I miss the simplicity of working in Africa. As a teacher, you could administer corporal punishment to a kid, and not only would their parents not be angry, they would /thank/ you for bettering their child, and add a few improving smacks of their own. :P

True story:

What does "personal empowerment" even mean?

@LaFemme: They ARE good, but I stopped getting them once I cut either aspartame or high fructose corn syrup (can't remember which the product contained) out of my diet.

I take it this applies only to women. My dad has been obsessed for yrs...so much so that it could hardly stand to increase. :P

@ChaiLatte: I know how you feel, I had /perfect/ skin until I was about 21, and then started breaking out all the time. Have you tried going on birth control? I was on Yaz for a while, and it really helped a lot...but in the end I decided the Pill wasn't for me. Still, it's something to consider.

Hmn. My facialist told me to keep squeezing after until I saw nothing BUT blood...so when it's blood obviously mixed w/ some sebum, I keep on truckin'.

@Peppermint: I find that Clearasil (the max strength 4-hr kind) helps. I hate papules...I call them "lurkers"...at least they're fairly easy to cover up until they go away/are ready to pop though.

@tinyphoto: YOU TOO?? I like to visualize strobe lights and the crush of moving bodies. That I am outdancing, of course. SUPER DANCE.

Great timing on this article!! I've been meaning to refresh my playlist. To return the favor, here are some of the songs that have stood me in good stead:

And THIS is what happens when you let women drive. I guess Saudi Arabia had the right idea all along!

"...and it would take some pretty big, stupid balls to claim anything from a woman he has, by all accounts, abused."

@Morbidda Destiny: Right? I wish she'd interviewed me...I know all about loungewear!!

@kookla: Actually, it's PiYo. ;))))

@Sm6rtGrrl: While I get what you're saying, I think it's risky to start projecting sexual characteristics onto inanimate objects...b/c then where does it stop? Like, there are villages in the Middle East where tomatoes and cucumbers aren't allowed to be on display together, b/c the former is a lady fruit, and the…

Sorry...what did you say? I'm was distracted by how fantastic Michelle Obama looks.
