I grew up in a very weird place that has been in the news a fair bit lately because Bob Durst found it and thought “That’s the place for me!” I still have family there, but it is a WEIRD place, and to grow up in such a place, when you don’t know any better, is very strange indeed. Now whenever I go back, it just gets…

I’m getting out of Seattle. It’s only getting worse. Time to split.

Crimes against women, kids, or the elderly make you a punk and a target in prison.

My friends who recently got married had a very small registry and when I asked about it, they admitted that they didn't really need anything (been living together for awhile) but all the olds basically demanded it of them. So I gave them a big fat check instead and they were super happy about it. They were putting…

If it makes you feel any better, Target's registry interface is awful. We got doubles of several gifts thanks to how difficult it was for people to read. (You'd be surprised.)

But asking for a Honeyfund is too close to asking for cash, which many people find tacky, particularly when considering that you're likely going to be asking someone who is less well-off than you are to give you some cash.

My thought was also "she's probably not all that famous," but if she's talking about the paparazzi and if they're really hassling her to that degree.. then maybe she is? The paparazzi are annoying but they don't bother with a large number of celebrities. This young lady makes it sound like they are stalking her at…

That was me, too. Even found a roommate, sent a deposit on an apartment, etc. On a trip there I suddenly realized, "Wait. I don't want to live here at all." Moved somewhere cheaper and eventually made my way to the west coast best coast.

So true. My husband and I (met online) didn't even bother moving in together til we were engaged. We'd both done the living together thing with other people. It doesn't mean shit. (Nice thing is, since we met in our 30s we knew it was right pretty damn early on. No time for bullshit.)

I might have to add that to the list of "things about me you might not like, but I'll explain to you why it's not a big deal."

Sad day when US Weekly editorial staff knows their verbs better than Jezebel's.

Nope, definitely don't intend for it to be a substitute, which is why I mentioned taking results to a specialist. It is merely a step you can take that is fair more cost-effective, and unless you know what you're doing, you're going to need someone else to interpret the results, anyway.

23andme also tests for some (not all) SNPs on the BRCA1 gene. That's $100. Only thing is, they don't provide the interpretation. But you could interpret yourself, or take the results to a specialist.

I think prospective customers will think worse of him for this obvious money grab than for rightfully going after the brat for the cost of the repair to house.

No, I was the same way! And I am a happy, pretty grouch-free person but I always felt there needed to be WAY more Oscar in every episode of Sesame Street. I loved Oscar.

There have been so many posts to millihelen recently and I LOOOOVE it. My new fave.

Oh, no! Not her polkadots!!

I am in the middle of negotiations right now with a large Fortune 500 company. I decided to just go all out and ask about everything, not just base salary. When I asked about maternity leave, the very nice person on the other end of the line had to tell me that they would research it and get back to me. That's how far…

Aayyyheeamaaabbeebee eeyyyreaahhhh yaaaaamaahhemama!

Please don't give in. Please don't give in. Please don't give in.
