THIS MADE MY WEEK. Thank you so much. I eagery anticipate watching this w my 2-year-old.

Listen: the high school students I teach need finishing school DESPARATELY. They don't need fancy stuff like how to get tapped for a sorority or how to act at a country club, they just need the basics of human interaction. I rarely hear a "please" or "thank you" when I do anything for them, and I think if one of them…

plzplzplz let it be Bo Derek + Morgan. That would rock. Casey could get all angry, and Morgan could be all whipped up into a frenzy, and I think good times would be had for me.

Sure wish they would speak up about it and tell the ignorant ones to STFU and stop making all Christians look bad.

I know diet soda is bad for me, but if I could marry Coke Zero I would. (Damn, that shit goes well with a variety of flavored vodkas, amirite?)

In terms of taking a short nap in your car: check your state's laws (or the laws of any state through which you are driving). Some states will give you a DUI if you are found with any alcohol on your breath and sleeping in the drivers seat. So to be safe, lock yourself in and climb in the back.

I have a painting hanging in the entry way of my house that my ex, who is a painter, made specifically just for me. It is pop art-y and features Wonder Woman, so there was no fucking way I was getting rid of it. We parted on friendly terms and there is no way I could sell that awesomeness. Plus, what if he becomes…

It depends on the relationship. I had some stuff that was really nice but I sold as soon as I could. Even though I didn't get a ton of money for it, any amount was good as long as I didn't have to deal with it anymore. A few other pieces are from a relationship that ended amicably and I saved those to give to my…

Anyone shop at Soma? Their Allura bra is THE.BOMB. I was so happy fit back into mine post-partum & post-breastfeeding that I almost cried.

This is Florida fashion at it's finest: wearing inappropriately warm coats on top (toughen up, people!) and flip flops down below. Because you'll get me to take off my flip flops only when I'm cold and DEAD!

I read the book too. It rules! But I think the film actually does a good job of representing the book; it's one of the few adaptations I can point to and say that.

AHHH! Yes! See my comments upthread. My guy has spoiled me; I can't concieve of having another breed now. He is so chill, doesn't drool or shed much, doesn't bark and is super sweet and affectionate. Plus, whene he pushes past me to see who's at the door or accompanies me and my daughters on a walk I know people see a…

I heard this when we adopted our adult dog from the local Humane Society: they call it the "Big Black Dog Syndrome." People will adopt adult dogs, but big, black dogs languish in shelters. We adopted a big dog (now-83lb Greyhound, a former racer) and it makes me sad more people can't or won't adopt the big fellas &…

I wrote my MA thesis on LOTR and I agree with this wholeheartedly. The Hobbit is a kids' book. LOTR is real-deal literature with a capital "L." I'm reserving judgement on this "added" stuff until I see the film, but you are right on all points about how flat many of the characters are that the scale of the story is…

Yeah, me too to all of this! My post is above . . .

It is so odd that I am reading this post today; I am currently weaning after breastfeeding for 5 months. My first went 5.5 months, and with the supply I have frozen QuickPrincess the Younger will go about that long too.

This is why I drink screwtops. Don't judge.

Yes, just like feminism, unions have done nothing to shape this country. I'm now off to take my 2 year old to her day job picking up coal.

The story on this on "All Things Considered" had me laughing so hard I thought I would need to pull over.

Neil Gaiman has done some good work. See: American Gods.
