Amen! Didn't they have the apricot pits in there, too? I recall it was like sanding your face down. Years later I used walnut shells to finish jewelry ... a similar technique, only without the ensuing facial inflammation and additional pimples from all the shit in the St. Ives product.

As I tried to say (but failed to clearly express), our salaries are very different. Mine is mid-ish 5 figures, hers is well into the 6 figures. This was great when we got to income average (essentially what we were doing pre-IRS ruling) but as I said, I get to see what we "will" pay by reviewing our fake returns. …

Hmmm, as a married gay couple, for the last 3 years I've been doing our unequal income taxes both as single and head of household AND as married. Yes, that's 3 returns every year. Our "real" federal returns were the single/HOH but California required us to file as married (because duh) so TurboTax thoughtfully did…

Paul McCartney, Rock God extraordinaire, can still do EVERYTHING. At 71, the man rocks better and harder than anyone else, and does it in his 2" heels, to boot.

Perhaps you should do a little more investigating before jumping into that bully pulpit. If you did, you would have discovered that Cory Monteith first went to rehab at 19, and was in rehab again this past April. I don't know how that is "(seemingly) never" looking for help.

Fascinating. I do taekwondo ... the boards this guy is using are demonstration board that are flimsy and should break with any contact. His technique is terrible, he's poking at the boards, and he has no idea how to line up to properly contact the board. See where he's stretching his leg out to measure distance? …

Do you mean Mikhail Gorbachev? Misha the dancer is alive and well (and still gorgeous).

You are surprised that racial bias was not seriously considered by the 5 white ladies (and 1 Hispanic lady) on the jury? At least five of those women have never personally experienced racial bias, and were willing to wish it away.

You have perhaps forgotten the Rolling Stone article on Afghanistan and its focus on General McChrystal, who ended up resigning because of the article. Rolling Stone has a very long history of going outside the music world to present well-researched articles on areas of general interest.

They won't ban you. You'll just fade to grey ....

I'm curious about Farrah's "rehab" facility ... I didn't think social media, or a device to access one, was allowed by most places during a stay. Hmmm ... why am I skeptical that this place will make any difference in her future choices?

Yes, Jewelle and Diane Sabin, her wife. They were among the plaintiffs in the original suit to get gay marriage legalized in California. Lovely people.

Me, too! It's the highlight for my 17 year old ... the midnight show at Bonnaroo! See you there!

Yes, but he's the head cardiologist. I would be reporting him to himself. At least I know where NOT to send my friends who need a cardiac workup.

I just saw a fat-phobic doctor a few months ago. I'm a 3rd degree black belt but I have life-long, bad asthma. Put me on a treadmill and I'm out of breath really fast. Too fast for the cardiologist I was seeing (after I had heart palpitations from another asthma drug). He told me there was nothing wrong with my…

Internet gossip reports that Bey really is preggers this time (as opposed to last time when they hired a surrogate) but, unfortunately, both Bey AND the surrogate are presently pregnant. Expect "fraternal" twins eventually per the Interwebz ....

I have a similar problem when I wear shaped bras. I can only wear soft-cup styles (my preferred right now is Bali) and I am old enough to appreciate a properly fitting underwire option. so that's where I head now.

It's not always a problem with a larger cup/smaller band ... my problem over the past few years has been that I have gone in to be sized (at Macy's or some other upscale store) and I was told to I was a 40C or D. I was always unhappy with the fit and the straps would never stay up, and I was constantly gouged in the…

The best degreasing product I've ever found is Dawn dishwashing liquid. Just apply to the stain, wet it slightly to get the soap "activated", and place back in the regular laundry. By the time I get around to washing the whole load the "stained" item is usually clean. This is, hands down, the best laundry product…

I am a severe asthmatic and about 6 months ago I was prescribed a new medicine, which apparently gave me temporary heart issues. I had to see a cardiologist and was treated like complete shit. I am not grossly obese, but I have a healthy BMI (I'm also a 3rd degree black belt, so it's not like I lay around all the…
