Perhaps there is a difference between oversharing one-on-one and oversharing on a massive scale via a book or tv show. With another individual, it can seem just like a personality quirk, while writing a book with the goal of making millions can seem more calculating.

@typicrobots: Right there with you. What would have been great is if Tina said she liked him THE WAY HE IS.

@Dialogue_Dub: Food is also very demanding- the cake wants a bigger trailer than the pie, and don't even get me started on the streudel...

@panpaniscus: My understanding is that in 1985, the BMI labeled as overweight was 27 or so. Then in 1990 it was changed to 25 or so. This is a big part of why there was an "unheard of" increase in people being overwieght. Wikipedia mentions this, but doesn't have links as back up so I can't provide links,…

Simple truth: If you live in society, you "cost" everyone else. Period.

@anteup: That room of heads gave me nightmares!

@dirtybee: I'm sorry about your miscarriage. I had one 6 years ago, and it was very difficult. I hope you are taking care of yourself.

I'm opposed to FGM and MGM. "Evidence" that claims to show that male circumcision reduces the likelihood of HIV is HIGHLY disputed (and besides, condoms are much, much, much more effective). There is no good reason to do it to a baby. If religion and tradition are not good enough reason to do it to girls, then they…

Sucky-lex-ting: Stupid, stupid, stupid words based on the word "texting."

When actors do their own stunts and they aren't pro stuntmen, it usually is highlighted, as well.

No.

@RedLantern: So you aren't interested in the 10 hours of pureeing required to make a recipe that is already so complicated you must plan a week in advance?

Phew! It has been a while since there was a good thread to tell moms they are doing it wrong! All you stupid moms out there just trying your best- YOU SUCK!

@sequined: You know, this method actually works really well when sober, too. I do it all the time. I say things like "I KNOW, Right? (pause, smile) But seriously, thanks, I appreciate that." I think people like the response because it says you aren't going to get all arrogant, and it lessens the awkwardness that…

In defense of Mike Seaver, he didn't actually cheat. The process of writing all the answers on his shoe helped him learn the answers, so he didn't need to cheat.

@LAmonkeygirl: Why couldn't Bob be like Lloyd? [everyone nods knowingly]

Remember the discussion of "effortless perfection" from a while back ([jezebel.com])? That article doesn't quite get to the heart of it, but the whole idea that women must be perfect without looking like they are trying is the issue here, not plastic surgery. They all said to do the surgery, just don't let us SEE it.…

@Leets: I wish someone would send me unsolicited samples of Bisquick. I'm long past getting unsolicited samples of formula. Why did you decide to cook with it?

Well, you know the mommy wars are going to break out as soon as someone busts out with a recipe for formula cookies.
