It was blue and came in little capsules for each use. That was awesome.

The difference between prescription and non-prescription treatments is night and day. There's a reason that stuff is FDA approved for the treatment of acne (and wrinkles sometimes). A dermatologist will hook you up but you have to stick with what they give you for as long as they tell you. All of the retinoids will…

Women getting dudes to do stuff for them. Yeah that happens. It goes from being friendly to taking advantage of someone when the guy is doing way more stuff for the girl that she's doing for him.

I'm such a reluctant cheerleader for Reform Judaism. I've grown up with so many women rabbis and cantors that when I'm at a temple with a male cantor it's a whole different experience. In the Reform Movement, there are just as many women as men as rabbinic students, and far more women cantorial students. The thing I…

Whenever non-Jews ask me what I think of the Ultra-Orthodox, I tell them that it's so outside my experience. My first rabbi was a woman. The cantor who blessed me at my bat mitzvah was one of the first women ordained as a cantor by the reform movement. These men have absolutely nothing to do with my religion.

They're whiny and she's shopping for new toys. Speaking of... I wanna know what brands RiRi likes. That would be a meaningful celebrity endorsement.

This is so interesting. I work in plastics manufacturing and worked with a similar machine at a previous job. The engineering process to get any new project up and running is complex and frustrating nightmare. Sometimes I have to manually heat seal large plastic bags and that is such a touchy task with a poor heat…

Yes ma'am. Googling now... I am presently represented by a Democrat in the State Assembly (Toni Atkins) and a Democrat in the State Senate (Juan Vargas). Now for further investigation...

That was a fantastic piece. There was nothing surprising about that opening voicemail from Eleanor Holmes Norton but it certainly made my heart sink. I was also so entertained by John McCain speaking ill of Scalia.

It's quite lovely.

I am proud to be represented by Susan Davis in the House and Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein in the Senate, none of whom is in any danger of losing her seat.

I had a second trimester abortion last year and an ultrasound was necessary to determine how far along I was and for the pre-procedure stuff. I did not have to see or hear the ultrasound since the screen was positioned away from my face, but I was given the option. Given that this was second trimester, there was no…

And to think, yesterday I was telling myself to head to the Y to sign up for a membership. Talk about additional incentive.

But how can this be worked into a story arc on Revenge?

Yes! Whenever this is brought up, I always want to ask supporters of Catholic bishops if they think that Jehovah's Witnesses should be exempt from covering blood transfusions.

I had a yellow lab hit 18. She did not look anything like Sammy at that age. Looking back, we probably should have put her down sooner.

Bacon? Did someone say there was a hidden stash of bacon?

And then there was Jon Huntsman. At least he learned some Chinese.

I just audibly squealed at the Beth Ditto headline. Must make room in makeup drawer.

And in his mommy's dance steps as well.
