I don’t know how they did the second season but for the first one that lured people to sign up for a dating show, then had the “experts” explain the premise during casting. Most people left straight away. It’s a psychologically sound move to make participants feel invested before they give all the details so I'm not…

Yeah, I thought it was going to be a touching story of a sick girl bravely coming to her prom but it’s just a story of typical American excess disguised as art.

Available everywhere. If your hair is dark lift up your hair and put it in the roots underneath then brush it in and no one will know. Available everywhere.

They seem to read facial expressions quite well, too. Sometimes when I’m playing around with my dog I’ll ask her if she wants a cookie, her favorite thing, with either a smile or a frown on my face but using the same tone. She’s much more receptive to a smiling face. Sometimes when I’m really grumpy with someone,…

I suggest checking out some basic “How to Cook” cookbooks from the library. One I like is America’s Test Kitchen Cooking School. (I still use it and I’m a very competent cook.) It’s not so much recipes you need as the hos of cooking such as how to do different methods of cooking such as searing, broiling, braising,…

So many questions! How long until the book or movie?

Ugh, Evie Havok is moronic and just wants to fight. Dismiss!

He didn't live in the Jenner-Kardashian household, did he?

Didn't he slap her around, too? They're both violent, IIRC. But it makes sense because that's what she was exposed to growing up. Her dad beat her mom.

He doesn't even have the self-awareness to know that his words make HIM look bad. How does a person get like that? It's like going to football games every day of your life but still not understanding what a touchdown is.

Thanks! Just downloaded samples on my Kindle.

I'm curious, too. My hair looks like her before pictures and if I were to perm AND dye my hair regularly it would break off. How did she deal with non-curly roots? Who did her spray tan? Did she have a standing appointment? I want to know details!

That's not the question she asked. Reread.

Did her husband know she was white, I wonder?

That was fascinating. I never considered that there might be a forensic linguistics field but it sounds really interesting. Can you recommend any books on the subject?

When I was twelve my grandmother took my brother and me to Spain to visit my uncle, who lived there. I had only been 12 a month and looked like a child, complete with a flat chest. But my long blonde hair and green eyes made me exotic to Spanish men, who seemed to think I was the right age to catcall and make advances…

I'm with you on fabric being key. I won't even look at rayon. But have you noticed how cotton has almost become a luxury fabric?

Love that dismiss feature. I don’t use it often but it makes me happy, especially when people want to argue ad infinitum just to “win”.

What kind of response did you get when you called?

And yet so many people think that’s EXACTLY how it works and get mad when guests don’t “cover their plate”.
