“Unless one party has an inherited vintage ring in a gorgeous Art Deco setting that will cost approximately $0 and some mother’s happy tears, what’s the use?” - This is exactly my case. It is actually my great grandmother’s ring from 1936. My husband asked my grandmother for it, because it was just sitting in her…

I wanted to share my recipe for buffalo chicken dip (a modified version of a couple of different recipes I found online):

I think the real story here should be how Mme. Gregoire-Trudeau seems simply delightful with her adorable hat.

I used to live in Dallas and I have followed this story for a while. Her mental illness manifested itself in paranoid delusions, which caused her to fire some very qualified people because she thought they were plotting against her. A number of people also quit because they couldn’t continue to work for someone so…

The thing that jumped out at me, with little or no mention, is that while the hospitalization, addiction, and all-around erratic behavior was taking place:

Put one foot in front of the other. Repeat.

I am a flats-wearer but I specifically like the barefoot look. I also happen to hate those little half-sock foot-condom things that are supposed to give the barefoot look while keeping your flats from becoming stinky like they would when worn with bare feet on the regular. These are the answer— the ultimate holy grail…

Me too. It was life-changing. I used to be in pain 2 weeks out of every month, could barely eat, definitely couldn't drink anything hot. Swishing 4-5x per day (even at the office, ew) with milk of magnesia and hydrogen peroxide (google said to dilute by half with water but I was straight up pouring it on there by…

Agree. I'll just leave this excellent article (by a cosmetic chemist) here : Sulfates in shampoo.

Yep, I use one too because all of the hundreds (probably maybe) of shampoos I've tried (including prescription ones) make my scalp burn like a thousand suns (I like brackets).

No, but for those of us who are actually allergic to Sulfates, those "Sulfate Free" signs are great. SLS and SLES are in EVERYTHING. It's just like "Gluten Free", people are going to abuse the privaledge.

I haven't been hearing any hysteria (maybe because I'm the type who just tunes out when that one "gluten sensitive" friend of mine starts prattling about things like "toxins" and Fukushima fallout, etc. etc.), but sulfates really do make some folks break out into hives. No hysteria — just a desire not to be up all…

Same on the scalp and gums front. WHATEVER IT IS that I'm avoiding by using sulfate-free hair products and toothpaste, it's working.

I can't use things with sulfates because my scalp breaks out in hives. Same with toothpast. Having bleeding welts on your scalp or gums is no bueno. I will stick to my sulfate-free shampoo, thanks. A number of people are legitimately sensitive to ingredients but that doesn't mean everyone needs to stop using them.

I've never had a kid and have never been pregnant—which can present a hurdle for some doctors—but this doctor nodded easily when I told her I wanted one. She gave me the insurance particulars and a couple of info sheets, and told me to make an appointment right away.

Celebrating 12 years today, and while we've been in difficult circumstances, it hasn't been difficult to be married.

Poor kid. First her parents make her move to Florida, now this.

She has tremendous poise but frankly, she didn't play very well last night. Still, her team isn't out yet and if you haven't watched the LLWS, it's fantastically entertaining. The level of play is surprisingly great and drive and passion these kids show is something you often see on in a MLB park.

Completely adore this girl. She's from Philly yo, has THE sickest curve ball, is utterly self effacing and charming in interviews AND she got them A Rod eyes.
