anyone else find it somewhat creepy that they appear not to have faces? Anyone?

Re: Flexitarian diet - I went to see Dawn Jackson Blatner for nutrition advice a couple of years ago (needed some guidance regarding what to eat while marathon training) and was shocked that she's actually a very accessible, down-to-earth, non-crazy person. Sure, she's about a size 00 and is blonde (one way or…

I see no instance in the article where the author says "hey, girls! It's super fun to go out and hurt other people's significant others by being a mistress!!" In fact, she acknowledges that the only reason the partner wasn't hurt was because she never found out (to the author's knowledge). I think it's quite…

Why are you assuming the other (assumptively non-cheating) partner is home crying or waiting for their lover to return home? Maybe they're out cheating.... or heaving a sigh of relief that they won't be expected to have sex that day.... or just don't care. People make a lot of bargains for a lot of reasons. Sure…

I love how the mistress is always expected to take responsibility for that poor, loving wife obviously waiting at home for her superman of a husband. Like women should be looking out for men's wives more than themselves. Look, that wife very well may be all victimized and deceived, but she may also be out having her…

My dad had lapband surgery some six or seven years ago now and while not quite the same as bypass, it's still pretty bad and has resulted in the same types of side effects. My grandfather died of a heart attack at age 62 and my dad was probably 100 pounds overweight, so I understand his desperation in deciding to get…

I'm always surprised when people love Sybil so much. To me, she's boring. Her character has no nuance or development - she's just this empty placeholder put there to demonstrate that the show acknowledged "progressive views" from the start. If she'd shown some real conviction in her beliefs (more than just her…

I like Sybil, but I find her boring. She's sooooooooooooo do-goody with very little nuance to her character. I like Edith precisely because she's got that horrible mean streak and was able to nearly ruin her sister in one fell swoop. Stupid and petty, yes, but interesting...

Hahaha thanks! I love Edith. Rather than the Jan Brady, I prefer to think of her as the Bridget Jones of Downton. I love Bridget and I love Edith. :)

Yay!

True, true. My baaaaaad.

Please take your place on my "Ideal Island".

OMG I forgot about Sybil being a nurse!!! Totally true that she ditched it to go hang out with Branson.

It surprises me a little that even here on Jez there isn't more support for Edith. Yes, her decision to out her sister's deflowering by the son of the Turkish ambassador was petty and desperate but come ON! Maybe I'm speaking out of turn since Season 3 has just started to air here in the states, but having seen the…

TOTALLY. I remember her talking about how she never cleaned the site of the tube so it was constantly getting infected and, um, HELLO you have a permanent hole in the side of you!!! This is so disgusting it's going to make me purge my lunch... involuntarily.

I've been using the Softcup (formerly called "Instead") for over 10 years now. I know it's less pc to use than the Divacup or whatever since it's disposable, but I friggin' love it. When you insert, it should hit the back of your vagina (in a gentle way) and "pop" open into the somewhat flat and wider end of the…

Agree. And what's with the clips of the celebrities themselves getting shot?? I mean, how does that exemplify their glamorization of gun violence?

Not that I think that the other ridiculous comments these morons are making are somehow "better" than this, but the most disturbing part of the video for me is how hilarious they think it is that the offenders urinated on the victim. Let's be real: these boys are entitled idiots who are told constantly that they are…

I call troll... or, worse, if you aren't a troll you're just a hugely uninformed pathetic excuse of humanity. Think before you type next time.

Not to be totally down on life on this already-terrible Thursday evening but this isn't all that different than what happens to rape victims in THIS COUNTRY. Do we feel a particular outrage at Indian authorities because they're all foreign and we can get all mad at them while denying that we live in a country where…
