I knew I was forgetting about something...

Haha... I do try to keep my toes looking nice, but I also run a lot, so that tends to ruin pedicures. I was thinking of those spontaneous pool trips when you may not have shaved but it's Sunday afternoon and really hot and meh, who cares you wanna come over to my pool let's go hang outside and drink.

Yes yes, I wholeheartedly agree! I'm glad there's a movement literally forcing a larger variety of body shapes and ethnicities out there. My reaction was mainly "ugh-ness" after reading some idiot totally sexist comments by dudes on FB. Like, they just feel SO entitled to comment so exhaustively like, NOPE if I don't…

How about... we have a commercial where the size 14 woman casually walks out to her neighborhood pool, followed by her size 2, size 8, and size 18 friends, all wearing various swimwear of their choice, in front of a group of dudes.

I'm a lot like your daughter, I brush my hair like once a week and my hairdresser told me to stop doing that because it's making my hair weak at the ends. He said brushing helps distribute the oils to the tips of your hair, which helps keep it strong. Of course, he said don't brush excessively but like once a day is…

SMH. I would be so fed up and angry and irritated with America if I was black right now. If it's not systematic racially-biased violence it's cultural pandering.

omg. See, I read that passage and immediately thought of the movie "The Stoning of Soraya M." Which, if you've ever seen it, is an excellent movie that recreates a stoning, and it is the most fucking awful thing you can imagine.

I hope you realize that your story sounds like a HUGE exception to the rule. Both sides of bffs hating the bf/gf is usually a very doomed pairing.

I hope the victim is helped to heal by this verdict. And now she won't have to worry about running into these two.

Uh, I'm gonna take a wild guess that he's French.

Woooow.. I'm so sorry that happened. I of course can't speak to going through that as a parent but it's been heartbreaking to watch very up close, for what that's worth. I can't believe the judge said that...

Oh my glob I relate to this very much. I especially caught this flack about not being close with my sister. I always was borderline suspicious of siblings who got along and were close, or was around a family who had fun together. My mom LOVED to see a family like that stumble or reveal a hidden issue, because then…

My partner is in a similar predicament, going through a nasty custody battle with his ex. She got custody after he divorced her because she cheated on him, and because she never worked he kept paying for the house so his son could stay there. He won custody a couple years later because of her severe drug and alcohol…

Cosigned. I don't particularly love my glasses but I am unable to wear contacts so, not much of a choice there. But then there's all these people buying fake glasses for the fashion statement so I don't think glasses are uncool anymore, this chick just has no sense of style.

Hey, thanks! I'm glad to know it struck a chord with someone.

The juxtaposition of Elmo and cock rings is like performance art.

That's right, and that way of thinking, while I understand is grounded in business practices, leads to people who purposefully act like asshats to get free stuff. The extreme ones do things like order a 3 course steak dinner and drinks, then put dead flies they brought in a bag from home under the garnish and call the…

I have spent unhealthy amounts of time fantasizing about Neverwhere, to the point that I had pretty much created my own version full of new characters, plotlines, and myself- only myself as I wished I could be. I have an uncanny ability to zone out, too—so I became a walking zombie, living in my Neverwhere fantasy…

You're being slightly dramatic in your perceived summary of this article/our reactions. The article doesn't conclude that "all men are rapists," but rather suggests something that we talk about often, which is our cultural dissonance when it comes to sex and how this culture does a piss poor job of teaching men how to…

Wellll I know this was me for a long while, because in middle school the summer before 8th grade I was doing somersaults in the deep end of a pool underwater and accidentally hit my head on the bottom. It hurt a little but I was fine, and didn't think much of it until I was home showering later and a CHUNK OF HAIR…
