Miley Cyrus (an actress/recording artist) twerked (danced a provocative booty dance) up against Robin Thicke's (a recording artist/actor) genitalia. Also, she groped a woman's posterior-without hesitation. In addition, she made very sexually suggestive gestures, using a giant foam-like "fanatic's finger" as if it was…

I've lived in France for years now, and I was thinking the exact same thing. There are so many social rules for la bise, and not everyone even does it! People who know I'm not French and are greeting me for the first time often ask if I'm even okay with the bise because they want to respect my cultural boundaries and…

Vanity Fair is where it's at. Yes, I know it's over 700 pages (!), BUT, it has Becky Sharp, who is a badass, social-climbing bitch. I LOVE HER. Also, if you want to read it, get the Norton Critical or some other edition with copious footnotes because, if you do, you'll understand all of the People/US-type references…

This everyday! Also, why parents think it's a good idea to take their tribe of non-bike-riding children onto the bike path and let them run wild, I will never understand.

They can all be played together, in a rousing irendition of Turkey In The Straw

THIS. I firmly subscribe to the axiom that one gets only three exclamation points to use in professional writing in one's entire life.

Ha, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one! :)

Like assembling furniture from IKEA

ZOMG, the toilet seat. In our house, it's the toilet lid! My husband sat me down after we had become enfianced and said that we had to talk about something. It was the fact that I left the toilet lid up sometimes and that he didn't want to make a big deal about it but...germs.

Eh, my hub's parents were total hippies and taught all of their kids how to do everything from cooking and cleaning to building things and installing swimming pools. So, we agree on division of labor based on who has more time to do it and what we each enjoy doing. For example, he likes cooking, so he rocks all the…

Totally. One of my best friends had refused to dress her daughter in pink until said daughter got fed up with being called a boy. Little one totally called out anyone who said that, shouting "Gill! Gill!" at them with a very pissed off expression. So, my friend started dressing her in pink jeans and pink hats, trying…

Ever heard of "The Blythes Are Quoted"? It's the manuscript that LM Montgomery submitted to her publishers the day before she died—so timely that it's hard to believe that it wasn't a planned manoeuvre before a suicide. Published 2 or 3 years ago as Montgomery wrote it, not the rearranged thing that the publishers…

"They can chew through plastic"

Frenchies unite! My French then-boyfriend, now-husband introduced me to the fitted sheet + duvet cover, and it is magic. We don't even bother with a flat sheet since it's so easy to whip off the duvet cover and wash that with the fitted sheet that I change the sheets every week.

Once per season, which should also be when you flip your mattress. Pain in the a**, yes. Mattress saver on two fronts: YES and YES.

I KNOW! Used to be the same—I live in France, so you can get awesome wine for 5-6 euros per bottle ($6.50-8.00). I was buying between 3-6 bottles per week, depending on how often I had people over. And then, I figured out about a month ago that I was maybe allergic to wine. :( No, seriously, it can happen. A friend…

This is totally freaking me out, you guys. I'm so glad that she's okay, but seriously I can't handle any more creepy rapid death organisms! And here I thought that flesh eating bacteria was the worst...

Nope. Not buying it. The day my male colleagues wear makeup is the day I'll wear it. Oh, the men aren't going to bother because they don't need it? Then neither do I.

Um...maybe she was ovulating?
