@knyne: I wish you and your wife all the best in working this out. I know, for me, that even growing up with half of my family tree being Mormon, I was never able to embrace that religion.

@Edie Spencer: That's exactly what I was thinking about Brother Alessio.

@SqueakyGasket: That actually sounds like just what I need—less flare, more hip room. : P

@cjane87: Exactly! The rest of my larger sizes are long gone, given to Goodwill. But that one pair of jeans will stay forever.

@SqueakyGasket: The Sweetheart are sooooo comfy! And they flatter my short legs and wide booty/hips. I don't think I've tried on the Dreamer, of if I have, it's been a long time.

@slf7 I'm thinking about it, now that the boy I've been chatting with willingly and I are on to personal emails and such.

@hellosunshine: I had steam coming out of my ears when he tried the "if you're so nice, TAAALLLK TOOO MEEEEEE" trick.

I own four pairs. They are all Old Navy Sweetheart cut, and the same color. One pair, size 8, are in the drawer, waiting for me to lose another 2-3 pounds so they are a perfect fit. The size 10 pair are currently gracing my booty. The size 12 pair are my "chore day" jeans—even though they're falling low on my butt, I…

Just the other day on OKCupid, a guy IMed me. I ignored him. He tried the cutesy little "helloooo?" with a smiley face. I continued to ignore him. He sent me a message. I got annoyed, but continued to ignore him. He actually tried the classic shame-the-nice-girl trick line of, "Hey, I heard you had a great…

@ManicPixieNightmare: I haven't read Going Bovine yet. I love interviews with Libba, though. She's marvelous.

@ManicPixieNightmare: I haven't seen them, either. Plz to share link to blog? I want to follow!

@ManicPixieNightmare: Oh, I am an unashamed fan of kids movies and books. : )

Is anyone else imagining talking to Leo and him just turning his nose towards a camera just like Dug in "Up?"

@ManicPixieNightmare: *dashes over to Amazon*

@ProfessorPlum: Having just spent two years teaching in a predominantly Mexican-American neighborhood, amen. My kids and their families filled the whole spectrum, just as any other group does. I had a few kids who fit the stereotypes, but the great majority of my kids didn't at all. (Though they did laugh when I…

@ManicPixieNightmare: Ooooh, sounds good!

@Manly McBeeferton: I wasn't amused. : P

@ManicPixieNightmare: I've never read Liz Carlyle. Is she Regency like Quinn? I'm fascinated by the Regency era, and from what I've read, Julia Quinn gets a lot of the social mores right.

@hausfrau76: Especially comparing him to el presidente, si?

@HubcapDiamondStarHalo: Under the tan and caked on makeup, she's a cutie.
