This is an infant thought I'm having, a relatively recent and probably tenuous connection

Or if your hangover has you feeling like you're on death's door. G2 (lower sugar, milder flavor), water, excedrin and some crackers if you can handle 'em.

Also, the dreaded juice mustache.

89.3 The Current, an indie music NPR affiliate in Minneapolis-St. Paul, played three of Gil Scott Heron's songs in a row last night after announcing his death. You're right that in most places, fiddling with the radio dial will net nothing of worth. I encourage you to stream this station when you're at the computer,…

Yep. As long as it covers my butt, a long shirt or a tunic becomes a dress the second I put a slip and some tights under it.

Beyond just the workplace, your first bit of advice is a good one. My very close childhood friend tells me really personal information about her close, but more recent (like, from college) friends. We live in the same city, and I see her friends every time we go out or she has a party (so maybe once every two…

Elle MacPherson's lingerie is beautiful, but I've found that the cups of the brawrs aren't, like, wide enough. There's a lot of spillage on the outsides in that boob-armpit area. Not cute.

Agreed. I get so mad when friends bail on plans, and one of my worst jobs as a temp was working at a place where the boss would frequently not be around on days and at times she was supposed to interview people who wanted to be contracted with her company. SHOW UP. I had to make excuses and apologize for her on a…

Always nagging me to do stuff around the house! I just blacktopped the whole driveway a few weeks ago! Jeez.

It's possible that Coburn himself didn't see the program as it aired, but that his office got TONS of angry calls/e-mails from people who did. Having had internships where some of my duties were constituent contact/services, I can tell ya that Representatives know when to do something about an issue they may…

My dude and I have agreed to ask one or two friends/family members each to serve some sort of role during the ceremony—reading something nice, perhaps, or ushering, or maybe playing an instrument. They can wear what they want, and maybe we'll pin matching flowers to them that day. If someone wants to throw me a…

"I'm always too full of second-hand embarassment to display whatever emotion these are suppose to evoke."

When I've been sad and crying, my back and my joints tend to hurt. I feel like a weak, hunched old lady when I have to get up and move around.

I typically go with a few Belhavens, a bowl or two, and a Vicodin if I've got 'em. That also happens to be my combo for a relaxing Saturday night in, though, so...

That's why they have a name that can be easily morphed into an insult: Wretchen (or Wretchin').

The only thing I would change about step 3 is to maybe tell your friend who is actively searching that there will be single eligibles at your party, so she should wear something nice.

PLURAL. Man, you must really like this guy to look past that!

They're also milking employment for all it's worth, retiring later and later. This prevents people their children's age (mostly Gen Y or Millennials) from being able to enter the workforce after graduation. I firmly believe that they're part of the reason for high unemployment (although the majority of it is evil…

I'm really going to yearn for male attention when I'm elderly—smiles, flirtation, or even just not feeling invisible to everyone (especially men). Knowing that doors are possibly being held for me not just out of being "raised right," but because he's angling for eye contact, a "thank you," and a chance to interact…

I'd hit it on vacation so nobody would find out and there'd be no run-ins.
