Yay, Mark is here! But please don't mix up the lovely, talented, and cool Mandy Moore with the unlovely Leanne Rimes. Moore doesn't court the tabloids; she lives her life with discretion and good taste. Plus she was in Saved and in Tangled and was terrific in both.

My tummy looks bigger in high-waisted jeans. Mid-rise is perfect because it holds everything in.

I saw it over the weekend as well. I'm old enough to have seen the first one when it was released, and this one is much better. Also, MICHAEL EALY.

Am I the only one who saw the movie? Kevin Hart was terrific in it, and he handled the more serious stuff with aplomb. My teenaged son and I saw it last weekend and loved it.

Okay, here's what you can say: Her is a movie that works on multiple levels. The set design alone was amazing. (I loved the recurrence of orange. I don't know what it meant but I liked it.). The prediction of what computers and smartphones will look like in the future was genius and seemed really prescient. (And the…

Thanks. It has been years since I've spoken Japanese.

I think it means crazy, actually. Or a mix of crazy and dumb, maybe?

I sort of love Poppin, although I haven't bought anything from them yet.

Sometimes I give my husband two cards, so that he can get something tame I don't mind the boys reading, and then later I can give him my real card, which is NSFK (not safe for kids).

Thanks for the link. I enjoyed reading this article, too, and identify with its author about the whole pushing-up-against-the-refrigerator thing.

Right, but these can both be true, because she doesn't cover sexual satisfaction in egalitarian/traditional marriages.

Presumably 1.5 times is an average. But true, if it's just 1.5 times less, no reason to get ruffled by this article. And you could be right that the quality is different. She doesn't cover that topic; she's just discussing the surprising findings of the studies.

She doesn't say that having an equal relationship kills sex. She just says that various studies have found that it decreases frequency of sex.

In my case I'm the older woman. I have a friend in her early twenties, and I'm in my forties. She's delightful company, and I miss her now that we no longer work together. I know I'm playing a sort of mentor role in her life (and she's learned a ton about feminism!), and it feels like such an honor to be that person…

Ugh, I'm the one who snores, not him. I don't want an uncomfortable pillow, however. I only snore when I have a cold, and he pokes me pretty gently. I'll save the money, and keep using my wonderfully comfortable pillow.

The teenagers at my house remain uninterested, so the hubs and I are going on our own, dignity be damned.

This is so sweet. She reminds me of my mother,who has been slowly sliding into dementia for many years now. During the polar vortex (and any other day with subzero temps last month), she called me to "see if we were okay." I'm not sure what she thought, that we don't have a house to live in? Or we don't have indoor…

Being clear and upfront is key. We always do cards for Valentine's Day, birthdays, Mother's Day, Father's Day, and our anniversary. (He's great at writing romantic cards for me.) We do gifts for Christmas and birthdays. For V Day and our anniversary, we go out to dinner and a movie. Since we both love movies it works…

Preach it, sister.
