@chévere? chévere!: This was the worst part of early puberty for me. What really sucked is that half the men I told my ago to just kept hitting on me. They didn't care.

I had noticeable breasts by age 9 and was wearing a B cup by 10. (You don't even want to know what size they are now.) That would have been around 1984. I have read about this becoming much more common and don't really know what to think. I remember being a chubby kid, but I was never teased about being fat so I'm…

I just started watching this season, in order to ascertain what everyone is going on and on about. I find it appealing in a subtle way, but somewhat plodding. I take it that wasn't always the case.

@emfish55: There's a grammatically incorrect note about pest control in the lobby of my building. It was there for two years after I moved in and nobody was confused about when the exterminator comes. Then someone took it upon him/herself to correct it, which I felt was insulting to our Montenegran-born super. So what…

@monaxia: My mother would beat me senseless if I went anywhere I was invited and served food and then called the food "crap." That's atrocious manners.

I'm an unrepentant omnivore. I'm also capable of going one meal without meat in order to share a special day with loved ones.

@Moretta: I think they think I'm fishing for compliments and reassurance that I'm pretty. Like how "OMG ur so skinny!" is the knee-jerk reaction to "OMG im so fat!" Except I'm not fishing for compliments and I'm not bemoaning about how my life sucks so bad because I'm not pretty. I'm trying to have a mature…

I watched this for the first time a few days ago. I think the reason I stuck with it for the full hour was because I couldn't believe these women were for real.

@DorothyBarker: : "we're accepting the fact that a woman's attractiveness and sexuality are inextricably linked to her VALUE as a human"

@Puddlefish: I watched The Last Station a few days ago. I started to say "I hope I look half that good at her age" but then realized I don't look half that good now.

@Moretta: I'm not a Formerly, but a Never Was. I think aging is easier on me because I've already worked to develop a sense of self-worth based on something other than my appearance.

@chloros: It always sucks when parents put their careers before being parents. But your comment is uncomfortably similar to my fundie college roommate's explanation for why women don't belong in politics. :(

@LTrak: I'm super acne prone and would never put Pond's on the rest of my face, but always use it take off eye makeup. It works and it's cheap.

When I first started eye makeup in junior high, my mom told me the best thing to get it off was Ponds cold cream. In my adulthood I experimented with a variety of department store and "organic, all natural" make up removers. Ended up back with Ponds. It works, it's cheap and a jar lasts forfuckingever.

Wow. Paterson is now such a lame duck that I live in NY and didn't hear about this until just now. Of course, I missed my morning NY1 session today. Hopefully they mentioned it.

The one I saw for this product said something like "That one thing that tastes as good as skinny feels." Which I thought was hilarious seeing as that thing probably tastes pretty crappy.

@LazyHippo: LOL! Good one.

Any column called "The View from Venus" automatically sucks ass.

@Norton: Starring Shatner, no less.

@token_liberal: While I'm sure a lot of them will make the effort, I can't really imagine all the writers will be kindly disposed towards characters the network brass mandate they create. But what you said - it's a start.
