Sometimes I think people who've been larger and lost the weight are worse than people who've been thin their whole lives. A lot of people who are naturally thin think "well, I don't have that experience so I can't judge." While people who've lost weight think "if I've managed to do it, that means everyone else should…

It sounds to me like maybe they have money issues and the brand name Coke is a big deal. I would probably never offer someone a lid for their can either, I would just pour it out and give them a new one later. It seems to me like they're counting every penny and the brand-name Coke is a special treat for them that the…

Life's a filet of fish!

Oh good! I'm glad I could help! :) I don't know if it's visible on the website, but the stuff is insanely cute, especially the spatula and the pancake molds.

Know this isn't my thread, but Williams Sonoma has a whole line of Star Wars bakeware that's awesome and affordable. Sounds like it could be a great gift for him.

I have a feeling they actually may be asking to better accommodate whatever silly shower games they want to play - like gift bingo or whatever. They may not want to put everything on the registry, something like that.

The difference between this and kiddie porn is that this can be created without any women actually dying, and thus no one getting hurt - everyone participating in the films is a consenting adult. If there were a way to make child porn without hurting any children - ie, computerized images or something like that - I…

I think a lot of the reason powerful men have affairs is part of the reason they're powerful in the first place - they think of themselves as invincible gods. And what's going to make you feel more godlike than having a sexual relationship with someone who is totally reliant on you? Wasn't Rielle Hunter living in her…

That article - especially that punch at the end, just left me sobbing. Thank you for sharing it.

I guess I just don't believe college should be a place where you can wear such things so often. I think it should be treated like a workplace, and while there are plenty of offices that let you wear jeans to the workplace, there aren't many that I know of that want you wearing miniskirts and knee-high boots.

Or, I think it's inappropriate to come to a school or work setting dressed provocatively like that. Does that really make me bitchy? Does that really make me afraid of sexual women?

I don't have much sympathy. These people are not only trying to use their looks to get wealth - the least you could do is wash your hair - but they've also signed waivers allowing themselves to be on the TV casting call. It's really more like an audition than anything else, and at auditions they're a lot harsher than…

Huh, really? I did this when I was young and poor in New York. Not desperately trying to meet someone, but not attached to anyone either. I probably went on three or four dates a week, and a lot of times the motivation was so that I could eat a restaurant instead of having Easy Mac for the 12th night in a row.

Really? I could have sworn all the news stories said David's!

This is totally the opposite of my experience, when I needed a wedding dress for something that did not involve a wedding and had no problem trying on as many as I wanted at David's.

This story is clearly fake, since you do not have to be engaged to try on wedding dresses, especially at a mass production place like David's Bridal where this dress is sold.

I'm so overwhelmed by this that I'm just going to make a snarky comment instead of talking about how this made me feel.

Er, maybe find a source for that claim that is not from the "trial lawyers of America" website. That's most definitely not an unbiased source. I'm guessing you are a trial lawyer? You certainly seem very invested in keeping frivolous lawsuits alive and well. Obviously $50 million was an exaggeration, but the number of…

You are wrong. A reduction in the number of frivolous claims that are filed, as well as a reduction in the amount of monetary compensation that could be received, would greatly reduce the malpractice insurance rates that doctors are forced to pay. These rates are directly affecting our ability to get healthcare as…

Hah! That is awesome. I would LOVE to have my own tree. In fact, I may try to implement that this year. Personal Christmas trees for each member of the family!
