Too late. Luckily the cookie dough I made yesterday was made with King Arthur flour I guess? Right? Anyway, eating raw cookie dough has been one of the joys of my life for as many years as I can remember. In my 40+ years of eating it I’ve never had a problem (and on cookie baking days I eat a LOT of raw dough, licking…

I know what you mean. On the one hand I feel frustrated with myself for feeling any sympathy for him but I remember being a kid and watching him and thinking he was amazing - I think he was a few years older than me so I sort of watched him grow up while I was growing up and I remember seeing him on the Motown 25th…

Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me. It was very helpful.

This. So much. Exactly what I was thinking when I read a report the other day about what amount the NRA had given last year and thought "they just didn't print the last 3 zeroes right?"

Here’s what I’m not understanding - the GOP and NRA are now saying something about how they wanted to make it more difficult for people on a no fly or watch list to buy guns but they couldn’t because Obama and the Dems and something about political correctness? But they voted against any restrictions? I don’t…

What @goddessoftransitory said - you do turn a phrase :-)

I want to embroider your entire fucking post onto a pillow, especially

OMG I LOVE HER!!!!

In addition to a library of 20,000 photographs and videos, many of which documented his crimes, investigators found that he had kept a kind of scorecard, on which he would grant himself points based on the child and the assault. They also found a guide, written by Huckle and ready for publication on the Dark Web,…

Never have I been happier that I don’t wear perfume. The couple of things I wear on occasion are 1) an essential oil blend I bought at Whole Foods to “stop bad habits” (but it smells really nice too), and 2) a body spray I bought from an organic vendor at the Farmer’s Market in San Francisco a zillion years ago which…

I caught it by accident and was riveted. It saddened and angered me in such a primal way.

Sometimes I wonder how we (I) keep it together enough to not go running screaming out onto the street. This makes me mad as hell. How many times THIS YEAR has this happened now? So many thoughts in my head but I am inarticulate with rage over this.

I know! I saw that picture and thought <3 Look at those awesome cute ladies! I want to be with them! I want to hang out with them!

This song was earth shattering when it came out, I know my college a capella group was one of many in the country singing this:

I got so excited when Pentatonix was on The Sing Off because I thought that if anyone had the power to bring a capella to mainstream it was them. I was in college, in an all female a capella group (The Treblemakers) in the 90's when Spike Lee’s Do It A Capella hit the scene and I went apeshit for it. I had previously…

The fans though... (and I’m a fan). I’ve been to two of their concerts and one free appearance at a mall and of those experiences the one that was good was a sit down theater with dining (Howard U. in DC), the others were terrible - sound was terrible, like so bad I couldn’t tell what songs they were singing, and the…

I absolutely adore Michelle Obama and wish she could be some awesome combo of 1st lady and president at the same time and I think she is the Best First Lady Ever but I concur with I’m Fart and I’m Smunny about Eleanor Roosevelt and raise you that I met Rosalyn Carter in person and she was one of the most gracious and…

This is why I like using one of the several online (free) trackers that automatically track the major macro nutrients - calories, fat, carbs - then you can add whatever else you want to track, in my case fiber, fatty acids, sodium, calcium, sugar... and they give you suggested minimums and maximums based on your…

Interesting that this comes from New Zealand as I read an article recently about a study that found that women who ate regular amounts of beef every week had less depression than those that didn’t but one of the important details about the study was that participants who ate more beef were eating grass-fed beef (as…

Same here - in late 2003 I did Atkins for a month, lost 18 lbs, but since after two weeks I started having nightmares every night about binging I decided I couldn’t live that way for the rest of my life and whatever I did to lose the weight I needed to do for the rest of my life to keep it off so I should do something…
