You know what? I love this. Ragen, you didn't attack him as a person, you just offered something nice, a way to show that everyone involved can look good. No crosshairs, no blood libel, just reaching out. Now, if he says yes, I think I'll start bawling because I'm so desperate for people to just be kind again.

I'm afraid to google what it means to make her "airtight". Can anyone help me with that one?

@Ack: She just finished that Kennedy movie.

@DepecheNode: Did she give you the whole pity biz for being "uptight" and missing out on everything cool and sophisticated? Annoying as hell.

@Blarfengar: Floescent lights really really really hurt his eyes?

"my great-grandmothers reportedly all went around periodically talking about how little they liked being mothers, regretting having kids, and loudly naming favorites (respectively.) I don't get the impression any of them felt remotely guilty."

@Marbe: I just replied in this comment thread to MissPork explaining, but it is basically about mocking people.

@MissPork: I think what hits me really wrong is the way she is smirking. If it had been simply a picture of the placenta, it could have been scholarly, but with her posing above it smirking, she seems to be mocking it. She is sending the message that it is like a freakshow, but it is a part of someone's body and

If I had just given birth at that hospital, I would have wondered if it was from me, and I would be pissed. If I donated it and heard about that level of disrespect, I would be super pissed. If there were multiple women who gave birth then, there are now multiple women wondering and feeling pissed. Anyone

I get that these guys are jerks and this is gross, and no one wants to date guys like this.

I have a maybelline lip stain that does the same thing. The goal, of course, is to look like you have pinker lips without looking like you are wearing lipstick- you just naturally look that good! Effortless perfection, anyone?

@poppypasha: Roseart crayons are made from the cast off wax of better crayons. You have to press Roseart crayons so hard to get a decent amount of coloring that you end up smooshing the whole stupid crayon onto the page. It is terrible. I hate Roseart crayons, but there is never an appropriate time to vent about

The marketers have been trying soooooo hard to make Sing-a-majigs the must-have toy this year, but it is not working. I see them everywhere, fully stocked, on sale. There are no fights at the toy store between grown women trying to score one of these things. They aren't flying off shelves. And there is one reason

I have a pair of Jessica Simpson sunglasses. I love them, truly. They are the best I have ever had. Every other brand is too small for my head and gives me headaches, but these don't, and they look really good I think. Way more expensive brands aren't better than hers, so I think it unfair to say she has sold $750

I double-dog reclaim it.

When my husband got a vasectomy, I had to sign a form giving my consent. That made me really uncomfortable.

@messybessy: At first I thought that was "dater ape face" which struck me as odd. But not necessarily inaccurate.

I had a seriously racy dream about Stephen Colbert last night. Like I wanted to go back to sleep and dream it again racy. I hope I don't dream about Julian Assange, though.
