I'm that person who even really enjoys Secret Santa at the office. So glad to find someone else that feels the same way - and yeah - I can't WAIT till I have a kid to dote on. Right now I go all out on my sister and my partner, and since I go crazy with happiness watching them open their gifts I'm sure it will be…

Good luck! For the record, volunteering at a homeless shelter on Christmas Eve is such an awesome and admirable way to turn your loss into something that helps other people. It's really great of you to do that. I'm really sorry about your parents, and you actually don't sound like a grinch at all. I hope Christmas at…

I love the holidays, mostly because I love getting presents for other people, and I really hate the judgement that everyone feels free to exhibit this time of year. That's not meant to be a bash on this thread, but I've noticed that around the holidays everyone feels free to express how stupid / materialistic /…

Honestly, even though I don't find Whitney funny, I find it infinitely less offensive and damaging than New Girl. At least Whitney is a real woman with a real job (not that being a teacher isn't real, but it is a very stereotypical "feminine" job, especially the way it's played on New Girl) who dresses like a real…

The article does talk about it, and what's wrong with it - which is mainly that it's incredibly racist. It's a better show than Whitney in terms of comedy, but actually a much worse show than Whitney in terms of damaging stereotypes.

To all who are saying that this was meant to be an artistic expression of good vs. evil, dark vs. light...

Omg. I still remember reading it over and over again. I even remember the exact phrasing about his long arm snaking around her and pulling her closer to him in bed and my little brain going what! They're in bed together???

Stuff like that Marie Claire article just make me more and more convinced that the marriage was real. They manage their public image so carefully, and all her gushing quotes are just such an embarrassing shit show now.

Ick, seriously? Come on. How about all the women in this country (many of whom are on this very site, including me!) who had access to birth control and ended up getting pregnant and having abortions? Did we just really really want abortions, but it wasn't acceptable for us to say so?

Wow - and I thought I was having a hard time! :) Hearing your story is awesome - I'm so glad you and your husband have been able to make it work so well.

The key to surviving a long distance relationship is not listening to other people tell you how to survive a long distance relationship.

I had been dating my boyfriend for a few months, and passion was high. We never missed an opportunity to have sex in the morning, even when I was having a little bit of spotting due to a weird new pill. On this one particular morning, we had some particularly passionate foreplay first, and everything appeared well. We…

Come on - is there are reason you are deliberately taking this quote the wrong way? The stylist clearly meant it's like training for a marathon in that there is a long period of intensely regulating yourself, not "it's the same diet as you would eat if you were running a marathon." Reading it that way in order to make…

I feel like a loser, but I really like this. I think it would be so soothing, since nighttime probably is when I feel the worst. However, apparently since I've moved away my boyfriend just stays up all night and falls asleep on the couch - he literally only sleeps in the bed when I visit. So I guess this wouldn't work…

Yes, agreed. But this article tries to make it about them eating in the store. Which was clearly not why she got arrested - it's because they think she tried to leave without paying and made an issue out of it.

The problem is very clearly that she walked out without paying and not that she ate before leaving. If the Safeway in Hawaii is anything like the Safeway in DC, they actually encourage you to eat in the store by having a little cafe area. I have also opened up numerous bottles of soda or water in the checkout line…

Am I the only one who doesn't think that marriage was fake? If you were going to orchestrate a fake marriage, why would you orchestrate it to be such a complete and utter failure? Especially since it seems like Kim has expressed (seemingly) genuine insecurity about being the oldest of her sisters yet the only one not…

I doubt that's going to happen since he Tweeted "Leave me out of your politics." It really soured me on them. Our relationship has been going downhill ever since they had their redneck wedding though.

I understand where you're coming from, but I think the argument would then be that you should not have written this article. Surely someone at Jezebel does like Halloween, and has seen a movie in the past 30 years? You could also have asked for help or used Google - I'm just not sure why you chose to write this post…

I think Natasha Bedingfield is maybe meant to be a character from Misfits - if so, that's an awesome costume.
