@Don't confuse fame with success: You are absolutely right. #cancer

@boobookitt: Having watched someone very close to me suffer through a false positive just a month ago, I wouldn't be so dismissive of this point. A bunch of friends have come out of the woodwork on this since last night, and it is a real phenomenon.

I'm not sure this guideline is so radical. Canada and the UK have always had 50 as their recommended guideline and there is no evidence that they have higher breast cancer mortality than we do. Keep in mind that best practices do change — witness the rash of hysterectomies in the 60's and 70's that turned out to be…

@Ginmar Rienne: They share with her the incapacity for empathy or self-criticism. They are doomed to live lives of vacant consumerism and blindness to anything that exists beyond their navels. Ugh. I just can't stand any of these horrible people. I think it's time for me to stop watching (except of course I do…

@utensil42: HAHAHAHAHA! #sarahpalin

@Ginmar Rienne: I'm sure they'll read "Going Rogue." #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

Who buys these books? It's everything I abhor in a pretty package and all I can do is hope and pray that she doesn't make back the advance. I'm sure it's a pipe dream, but it does make me wonder who apart from what I hope is a radical right fringe actually buys tripe like this. #sarahpalin

@heykoukla: Exactly along the lines of what I was thinking. It looks like it would be cutting into her boobs. #michelleobama

Cindy Crawford's "solution" is no solution at all. The runway and haute couture drive the rest of fashion. It's not as simple as "don't buy Chanel" because most of us don't. Chanel doesn't really make its money on the fashion — it makes its money on make up and perfume and scarves, etc. But the images that Karl…

@BowlingForDollars: Yeah — it seems so nice and calm, and her bf (finally) seems like a normal person. You go girl! #britneyspears

Indian pudding is insanely delicious. That is all. #openthread

@bluebears: The grandmama of them all. #feministbooks

Vivian Gornick's "Approaching Eye Level" is an amazing read. Her essays about loneliness, the problem of love for a feminist, and her own contradictions are smart and heartening and wonderful. They helped me through a rough patch when I was divorcing and struggling to find my identity at the end of an 11 year…

@Gumbina80: Of course they do. #therealhousewivesoftheocbroke

@quesadillaap: totally agree. they really are empty, shallow trash. I am enjoying seeing their comeuppance (except, oddly, for Jeana, although her two older kids really could stand to be knocked down several pegs).

The pup kind of looks like a bear-monket cross. Maybe I was confused because of those pics of the hairless bears last week. The second pic is insanely sweet. #critters

@phantom lady: winwinwinwinwin! #critters

@JerseyGrrrl: I have entirely different voices for each of my three dogs. They also have their own dogbook page. I am dangerously close to being crazy dog lady. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: Yeah, I hear ya. The puppy mills make me crazy. #anyahindmarchgirlstea

@JerseyGrrrl: They're not all fancy expensive dogs. (A) this could be a puppy. (B) A friend of mine found a 3 month old chihuahua that looked just like this one running loose in traffic a few months ago in LA and took her home. I'm down with saving shelter dogs, totally, but the definition of said dogs isn't…
