As the resident Paul Bunyan in many of my relationships, please don't do that. It's pretty condescending and infantilizing. I'm on to people who do it, and it makes me feel manipulated, and honestly, rather angry.

The "private room" bit—true or not—will never get old. What did he want, the men's room with its periscope giving one a view of the Space Needle all to himself?

As a long time patron of the 5 Point, people leaving doesn't necessarily mean there is available seating, especially for a party of 6.

I have never had staff be assholio there either. That said, despite Seattle's nicey-nice image it is by our indifference to your coolness that you will know we are hot shit.

It's a…

Except the wedding cake article is about cake and the dress article is about dresses. Neither is Jezebel's way of explaining politics to clueless lady readers, because Jez understands that its readership can read an article about politics to learn about politics.

You know, I felt the same way until I tried one on. I found it suuuuper flattering. When I wore strapped or halter styles, it short of shortened my chest and did not flatter my uber giant chest. You never know until you try it on.

This is so unbelievable that is has to be true. Back when I was just a dopey kid, probably around age 8, my dad came to me and asked for some help wrapping the gift he'd bought his wife, the mother to his, at that time, seven kids for Christmas. Mom had gone shopping, and so I said okay and went to get the wrapping…

TGIF on a Tuesday in Akron, Ohio after the Decision.

Yeah, so if you travel a lot, or travel 3 times at just the wrong moment, you're fucked. It's crap.

She goes into less detail about Hagrid's chest hair: "His chest was covered in a thick, unruly carpet of coarse, brown hair."

Okay but can we talk about Snape's chest hair?

I've been hearing about this shit for two days now thanks to my girlfriend, who is goddamned obsessed. She also claims that for some reason, the author refers to Gryffindors or Slytherins as "Gryffindor Hats" and "Slytherin Hats" which bothers me WAY more than it has any right to, like a persistent nail dragging…

Yeah, I don't doubt that a lot of folks got screwed, but I'm just saying these aren't only "old people concerns."

The worst part is that the GOP mouthpieces don't even have to resort to bullshit to legitimately and effectively criticize Obama's policies.

I'm not old(ish) and I have a mortgage, a retirement fund, and a regular doctor.

I wish there was a position called "Nope-Girl" where the Republicans could run ideas like this past me and I could shout "Nope" and get paid for it. Seriously, who approves these messages?

I don't buy that men have poorer memories than women. They just don't care to memorize things that are important to the women in their lives, things women say and do, etc. Their memories work just fine w/r/t sports and movie quotes.

I have adhd and my memory is the same way. It's a very audio/visual thing for me. A place or song will always remind me of a random conversation or event that no one else would ever remember.

Hmm, no. We men don't care about much. If we care, we remember. If we don't then we forget. Also, we can't do 2 things at once, so if a person speaks to us while we do something, it doesn't register.

My husband and I have a saying about this: "You remember it your way and I'll remember it the right way."
Because it's not so much that his memory is fuzzy, it's like sometimes he occupies a parallel reality. He'll remember us saying or doing something that either literally never happened, or happened completely…
