"BEST BOOK EVER!" says this children's book buyer.

Thanks! Your advice was very thoughtful and helpful!

Since you're so in to etiquette and manners maybe you can help me! This can be your first blog post!

That was my first thought, "why not quietly re-gift it?" It seemed like a lot of the items were non-perishable (pasta, marshmallow fluff, etc) they could have hung onto that until the next shower they went to and unloaded it. Simple.

OH MY CLAUDE! I have always called my arms orangutan arms! It's just silly that you say the same thing. That's all . . .

I have to say, I was single for a long time and the second I started dating to date and not to have a relationship, I found a wonderful guy. I just made it my motto that I'd be open to new experiences. I made out in bars, I gave my number to complete strangers, I got on a dating website and made it clear that I was…

I HATED when my friends tried to set me up when I was single. I had a friend in college who was in a LDR and every guy who hit on her in four years she immediately thought would be PERFECT for me! It got to the point where I had to tell her I wasn't there so she could vicariously date around through me. Now I'm…

Oh? So, the bulk of his standup was about fucking Mary-Kate and Ashley Olson BEFORE he was cast as their father in the 90s when they were a few months old? Oh! Well, then sir, I acquiesce! Clearly, I'm my flippant comment about the great and powerful Saget was untoward! He's a great comedian and man, just as is…

Yes, actually I do know that he is a standup as well. He was a middling comedian before Full House and he spent the rest of his standup career in an attempt to shed his "nice-guy" image and basically became a shock-jock. And he DID make most of his money by speaking over videos of people getting hit in the balls. …

I wonder if this has to do with the fact that it would be impossible in a same sex couple to accidentally have a kid? Just speculating here, but it seems like all gay parents actually WANT to be parents. And have to jump through a lot of hoops to become parents.

Agreed! I mean, has anyone besides me noticed that he's essentially Bob Saget from the 90s? I mean, without the hit sitcom of course. He talks over videos of people getting hit in the balls.

The thing is, all words can become offensive. I have an aunt who never wanted her kids to say "stupid" because it's "so mean!" She went on a warpath against my siblings and cousins because we were older and every other word out of our mouth was "stupid." But the truth is her kids were still raised to be basically…

I totally do the whispering curse words thing, except very poorly. Whenever I'm saying a two-worded curse I tend to whisper the non-offensive part and then curse in a normal voice. As in, holy SHIT. Or mother FUCKER. I don't know where or when or how it started, but that's a habit I can't begin to change.

I know it's fruitless to use logic to refute any of these claims, but I can think of several species of animals where the females are dominant. And (more to the point of the Pew poll) where female animals are responsible for providing for their young and in some cases (hello lions!) for the males of their groups as…

Well said. My boyf of 2 years recently said to me, "You don't laugh at any of my jokes anymore." To which I replied, "Aww, that's because I don't have to pretend I think you're funny anymore" (which incidentally, got a big laugh from him).

Not to pile on here. But aside from the naming aspect seeming to be a bit of a stretch, the clarification of Rachel's that Cho was set up as more stereotypically subservient Asian woman against Ginny's "strong" character doesn't really ring true to me.

I currently live in Cincinnati (hence the screen name) and this is seriously depressing. I'm sure I'm the millionth person to point this out, but no high school educator in their right mind would think this was a good idea. Why doesn't the government (not just in OH, but all over) defer to these peoples' knowledge…

Not crazy. I went to a Bikram Yoga class the morning after my latest bender. And aside from feeling pretty awful about the people having to smell the tequila sweating out of my body and having to watch me struggle through every single pose, it was amaze-balls!

Colin Firth in a wet, white blouse = the fantasy of every straight mom and gay dad in the world.

Hmmm, I seem to remember a lot of people getting all up in arms about Zerlina Maxwell saying we have to teach men not to rape. Not so stupid now, is it?
