I will! Thank you! I haven't looked through the links yet so I apologize if it was already shared, but as an avid reader/amateur philosopher this is one of my favorite internet places: http://www.brainpickings.org/

I was a first year college student and just moseying out of Tom's (our local grocery store), absentmindedly placing my groceries in my backpack so I could hop back on my bike and ride the block or two back to campus, ya know, just strollin' along, not at all paying attention to where I was going when suddenly I bumped…

me too! (On all counts. Everything you said from "considering writing a novel" to the "daunting task" part.)

hmm, but do they bioaccumulate? Can you pass them onto your children? etc.

"Public health experts have been particularly concerned about the longer chain parabens — butylparaben, isopropylparaben, isobutylparaben and propylparaben — because studies have shown that they can mimic the hormone estrogen and disrupt…

He's been Zappa-fied.

agree 100%! I do not have a problem with the cobalt/black combo.

ETA: Just as I finished typing that comment a tall dark beauty walked into my office wearing exactly that color combo and looking flawless!

Geez, everyone is so damn critical. The awkward bunching in the back/ass area of Kate's dress could use a little re-imagining and I don't love the sheer trend, but dang if Kate and Goldie don't still look stunning. Sheesh.

that was my assumption

The sweet, but straight-talkin' farm lady I get my eggs from told it to me this way: "dead goldfish and rotten eggs got one thing in common: they both float." I trust Pam the egg lady.

• Fresh eggs will sink to the bottom of the bowl and probably lie on their sides.

god, so many good ones. But one of the best is when I dropped a bowling ball on my finger and smashed it into three pieces, complete with visible splintered bone and whatnot. I was a young tween at summer camp at the time and the other campers had been fucking with the EMT at the bar all night and when they told him…

can we make them? I want one...

It seems to me that a lot of the cultural significance of this publication is lost in translation. To us Americans (and other non-French folks) Charlie Hebdo may just seem like another Mad magazine or something silly, but when you hear the French talk about how important it actually is, how groundbreaking and…

After reading all the comments about these, I think I might have to try it. I'm partial to my Klean kanteens (both insulated and reg.) but these got such rave reviews I might just have to shell out for a new bottle sometime soon.

According to wikipedia you're correct, she's Earlitha "Cookie" Kelly. I did a double take reading her name and immediately thought she was Eartha's daughter. And then I thought, nah, Eartha wouldn't name her kid Earlitha! (But she did name her daughter "Kitt." Weird.)

No! It happens for real. Most of the weddings I've been to have had the bouquet toss. It's always super awkward and I always look like the lady in the pic, complete with drink (but not in a martini glass because I'm too clumsy for martini glasses).

I think my brain just deleted the commas when reading and couldn't make the long mash of words compute. I get it now. And now I feel dumb for posting a comment declaring how dumb I am.

Is it just me or does the first sentence of this article make no sense?

I dislike all of these.
