@WrittenPyramids: I heard that. IT's crazy! Most of the people that they confiscate those from have no idea and they just use them because the canes are supercool. I must admit that an antique cane with a saber definitely beats new batman cane with saber.

@ArkansasFred: I didn't even know that AOL could still hire people. I thought they kept the brand afloat with unpaid interns and nostalgia.

My grandpa just lost his money clip. I think I know what to get him as a replacement, with the cane sword of course. He'll find it very useful in spearing the obnoxious swans in his subdivision's pond.

That USA Today article was from last year and presumably refers to Nadya Suleman and her brood, probably before they released her name.

@penguins268: Oh yes!

I drink dong quai tea and put an english cocker spaniel on my belly. Naproxen if it's really bad.

I can't imagine what Chileans are going through right now. My dad and my aunt both spent much time in Chile in the 70s and 80s respectively and my cousins' father and half brother live in Santiago. As much of a jackass as their father has been, I pray for him and his family there.

@Joy: I'm so glad. I think I was hardwired for family practice since the womb, because that's the kind of care my parents have always had. I was delivered by a family practice doc and my dad's been seeing the same nurse practitioner for at least 20 years. I don't know what he'll do when she retires.

@Nuckin Futz for you: I may be sexist, but I always have a female primary doc/nurse practitioner. They don't make bad jokes about UTIs and yeast infections. I've never been to a gyno because my primary docs/nurse practitioners have always done a great job helping me take care of my ladybits. Family practice ftw.

@girlarchaeologist: Exactly. A beta's lack of self-confidence is not my problem.

@jcb820: Amen to that.

Awwwws.

@Poubelle: Haha. I love that one.

@jessacecilia: It completely makes sense. I think the puffy is from dermal fillers which hide the extent of the face lift(s?). Her eyes were the weirdest. Way too much cat-eye makeup and surgery going on.

@jessacecilia: I know! Too much plastic surgery and Tracy Anderson workouts, not enough cheeseburgers.

Robert Pattinson is looking more like a werewolf tonight. Maybe he couldn't shave for Haiti.

@Haystacks: I would so watch that.

I thought the point was *not* to look like you're wearing a potato sack.

As a rather busty woman myself, I know far too well that it doesn't matter how pretty the dress is if your boobs don't fit well in it.

Even my mother, the woman who I taught to wear concealer and who will never surrender her cowboy boots, would never wear that.
