I enjoyed reading this immensely. It's nice to see an actual thought-out analysis, not just throwing up whatever's been fed to you and pointing at it.

I may have to temporarily disable my Firefox add-on that changes all Youtube comments to "herp derp" just to see that.

Thank you, Baskervillain{ess} for making me completely lose my shit laughing. At some point tonight, I will definitely be referring to my husband's penis as a pink vagina dagger.

Fasting, for me, doesn't really seem to help me lose weight because I fasted, but because it's an interruption in my horrible eating habits. I pay more attention to what I'm doing afterward because of that break.

Thanks, Lindy! This has reminded me to steal my mom's tomorrow when I go visit. She never uses it, and now that I'm got a husband who does the cooking thing, I actually will.

Damnit, Lindy, you're making me click on a TMZ link. How dare you tempt me with Kal Penn and possible poop shenanigans.

It was a major factor in asking my husband to marry me. Having a legal contract wasn't important to me at all, nor very important to him, especially not just a year into our relationship.

I haven't read the rules for these pools, but most of the public pools I've encountered have rules prohibiting regular clothing being worn in the water.

Ah, gotcha.

Is it me, or has his page been locked down?

My brain just stopped. This is beyond ridiculous.

It's more of a problem than you might think. It's making it more difficult for me to get a job in my chosen field. They aren't allowed to ask your age, so it's assumed that I'm very young, which is not often a plus.

Oh, absolutely agreed. There a few floating out there that seem to be more reasonable, but they're such a minority and, being reasonable instead of shouty and disconnected to the real lives of average Amercians, their voices are tiny in the cacophony of crazy we hear.

I kind of understand the point of view of your friend, but then again, I can't have it myself. I look at it like this: Obama had about two years to try to do something about the economy, which is very little time, before being saddled with a House that's dead set on keeping anything he puts forth.

Hahahahaha! My husband was listening, and when I asked him to guess who it was, he answered Paris Hilton.
