I suppose an item missing from the list was a g-g-g-g-g-ghost!

Am I weird that I really, really like my condo, so my ultimate fantasy is just to buy out the guy next door and double up my place? Alternatively, I could buy out the guy under me. Or the lady in front. I have blueprints drawn out for all 3 scenarios.

I love that they interviewed men and women for this article.

My dream house would have a dishwasher. Honest, that's all I want. I cook a lot and I have a tiny kitchen with no place for the dishes to go, so I usually have to stop several times as I'm cooking to do dishes. It's an old kitchen with no place to put one in until we remodel.

"But for readers? It's hard to see the downside."

Yes another vote for baking soda face scrub. Sometimes I do this all natural routine. Make a mask of natural honey. Rinse. Wash with baking soda. Moisturize with coconut oil. All 3 are so gentle!

Bah, that's a bad way to look at it. Ever the optimist, I choose to see this as him merely tucking the end of it back into his skate.

Probably because ballet dancers have no interest in ballet being an Olympic sport? There are international dance competitions already. They have a mixed rep in the dance world—many artists think they cheapen dance as an art form, and many major American dance schools refuse to allow their students to compete. I'm sure…

Did you know that totally subjective art forms like poetry and painting used to be part of the Olympics? I remember learning this incredible fact on an episode of QI, and Wikipedia says it's true, so it must be so: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_compe…

Kids are wonderful and deepened my appreciation for my own parents and life in general. I do, however, think that everyone who has kids should choose to have them. No one should go into it as a default move simply because they've been together a certain amount of time or because they think everyone expects it. Yeah,…

It's hilarious to me that purebred dogs are considered "elite." they can't help but be slightly inbred, poor things. it's commonly known mutts have fewer health problems due to their larger gene pool. the kennel club actually restricts its entrants to the LESS HEALTHY ANIMALS when they only admit purebreds. that's…

"Some 64 percent of marriages with kids now have both partners working."

Lori Gottlieb is America's undermining, passive-aggressive aunt, turning up at holidays and family baby showers to whisper about how our second cousin is separated because she put on so much weight after the twins, and her husband boned the nanny, and the high school valedictorian is having her eggs frozen because…

1.5 times/month is not an incredibly practical difference. I would easily sacrifice 1.5 times a month for a more egalitarian relationship. Plus, there is absolutely no data, that links frequency to satisfaction. What if they are having more bad sex in unequal relationships?

Looks that way. I know resentment kills my lady boner for sure. When I buy groceries and make dinner for the guy I'm dating and it's been a long work day, but I'm trying to be the sweet nice girl who does it all and hate that society expects that of me and grumble grumble, ''Am I really a feminist?" grumble…

How about the fact that WE'RE JUST FUCKING TIIIRED? People work more hours, parents are pressured to invest more time in childrearing, homework oversight is harder, and we're attached to electronic devices that overstimulate and detach us from human interaction.

Belle du Jour and Mrs. Roper. Married women in traditional,not-at-all-egalitarian marriages being bored and turned off has been A Thing for a loooong time. It comes up in Gone With The Wind and is the reason that Shakespeare's romantic comedies end in marriage. Because the rompin' sexy fun all goes downhill from…

My Auntie is also like this. She wants my cousin to get married since 22 and she tried to convince me to marry her friends' son because he is from the same village as our family back in Yugoslavia >_< I was 19.

I seriously need to stop reading these things while busting ass to finish a thesis. It's made me realize the thing about limited willpower is completely true. That's why I'll be biting the hell out of my fingernails, not working out more than once a week, and eating all the refined carbs (ahem mcdonalds breakfast) I…

For those wary of Seattle's success, there is always Olympia, Washington. It's like Seattle if it was smaller, no television shows took place in it, and the state college didn't have any grades(Greener Pride...If We Had Any!). Also, the weather is marginally crappier there, so win-win!
