Yeah, my sister and I totally internalized our "identities" too. I do well in my career, love to talk about intellectual stuff with anyone who will listen, etc. But take me out to a bar and I will believe any guy who is talking to me is only doing it to make fun of me. Whereas my sister totally screwed up in school…

When I was growing up, my little sister was constantly told she was pretty. I was constantly told I was smart.

Thanks, I'll check it out!

Yeah, it's so strange. I think if you're drinking and someone else isn't, it makes you feel judged, or something. And I've definitely been guilty of that in the past too - ie, gone out to brunch and if my friend doesn't order a mimosa, I feel like I can't order a mimosa. I'm not sure why we feel like we can't just do…

I notice this a lot in terms of drinking. I'm on the Dukan Diet right now, and my boyfriend is as well. That means right now, NO ALCOHOL for us. But I just moved to a new city, and am trying to make new friends. A couple invited us out to dinner on Friday night, and even though I actually have not been craving wine…

Actually, she was everything a Christian should be. She really cared about her daughter and had doubts about putting her in a pageant, she was praying not to win, but to keep her daughter happy in a world they were unsure of. But of course Jezebel just heard the word "Christian" and started mocking.

Yup. I am watching On Demand right now and came here for the same reason! She wasn't sure if putting the girl in pageants was the right thing to do, was doing it (unlike most of their mothers) because it made her stepdaughter happy, and all she cared about was being a good mother. The father seemed really sweet too.…

Yikes, things got a little crazy below my comment while I was away!

I used to love Roger Ebert. Like, really loved and admired him. Now I am not so sure how I feel about him. That tweet was inappropriate and cruel. Would you walk up to someone whose family member had just died of lung cancer, and say "That's why you don't smoke." Or walk up to someone whose father had just died of a…

I wonder how much Colbert's personal history affects his feelings about this, since he lost his father and two brothers when their plane went down en-route to enroll them in boarding school. That would certainly color my feelings about sending your children away, logical or not.

WTF to that Cindy Crawford picture. Ugh.

This is weird. I went to Completely Bare a few months ago (I had a Groupon) and there were several women of color working there. I think Cindy seems awful, but I'm not sure about this.

Er, maybe people who remember the way he treated his daughter and ex-wife?

This is exactly what my financial adviser told me to do to get myself a credit score when I did not have enough credit to even have one. Since following her advice, the interest rates on my student loans have gone down and my credit rating has gone way up. Perhaps saying "honeymoon or engagement ring" was not the…

Get a credit card with a very low interest rate. Many have super low rates for one year, which is what you should aim for. Make a big purchase - something you need / want but don't have the immediate cash for, like an engagement ring, a honey moon, etc. Pay the minimum amount due (this is important) every month on…

Don't know if I would agree that it's really safe, since the internet now means that the person you sext can take images that are meant to be private and disburse them to literally millions of people. Whether or not it should be such a bad thing to have taken naked pictures of yourself is another issue entirely, but…

Scott Speedman! Sold! (Though doesn't it feel really weird that he and Channing Tatum would be in the same movie playing peers? He seems like the 90s version of Channing Tatum.)

I lived in a really steep 5th floor walk-up and asked my trainer why I still got so out of breath - she told me it's because you have to do that specific exercise to get your body conditioned for it, and going up the stairs two or three times throughout the day isn't enough. The only way to build the endurance would…

Yeah, this really upset me to. I hope they change the post. An eating disorder is a disease. You can't "put your disease ahead of your baby's health" that's not the way it works.

Yeah, I just started med school and this is the first I heard about that...why would they do that, when the cost of our school is already so high and the insurance companies are compensating for the healthcare bill by making it harder and harder to pay that money off?
