I dye my hair red and I currently use the Rehab shampoo (not a bar) and have had no issues with fading. That said, I have trained my hair so I only have to wash it once or twice a week, so that might be why I don't have issues. But it might be worth trying!

My family was in the whole patriarchy/conservative movement and we girls were expected to "court". Our courtship process included: filling out an ELEVEN PAGE application to "court" us. If accepted, it mostly included working around the farm for free, with the hope of your love interest serving you a hot meal at the…

We have had some interesting conversations lately here in Maryland since we are trying to give undocumented immigrants in-state tuition rates (I am totally for it). I wish some of the close minded bigots who say immigrants do nothing but suck up our tax dollars would read this article.

When I read this my first thought was a. this passes for reporting now? No wonder newspapers are dying. And b. there was nothing more newsworthy to write about? Not even Michelle Bachman?

What I find interesting is that it took jurors three and a half hours to find him guilty. Really, three and a half hours?

My husband's family is in Pittsburgh and he is constantly wheedling me to go visit them. Tom Hardy is filming there?! I am so there.

So, listening to this stupid woman makes me completely angry. I am working my butt off to try and get into medical school, wanting to be an ob/gyn who provides comprehensive health care (read: abortions, as well) and helps address the shortage of such practitioners, yet this woman has time to go onto daytime…

Where the fuck were the writers of this movie, for say, their entire lives? Even people in goddamn Ralph Lauren catalogs do not have such perfect holidays with white teeth.

About a month before my sister found out she was pregnant, I had a friend get mastitis and I took to googling pictures of the condition and horrifying people with them, my sister included. Now she is (rightfully) terrified about her upcoming decision to breast feed.

Yes! I usually use baking soda, though. Because it's cheap, I always have it on hand and it's crazy absorbant. As soon as I see I have a grease stain, I will rip the article of clothing off my body and start sprinkling like crazy. And if immediate disrobing isn't an option, I try to dab at it with a Tide-to-Go stick,…

I wonder if I could get a printed and bound version of this for my niece/nephew? (I just found out my sister is pregnant and have started collecting gender neutral clothing and excellent children's books.)

Right there with you! But... I've gotta say, in season one she said something about not wanting to "live in someone else's used house, ick!" so, I can't imagine her buying second hand clothes. No matter how adorably vintage.

Re: Lady Gaga. Lupus. House episode in the future, I fortell. Quirky/annoying popstar +lupus (finallly). For sure.

Her husband has given her permission to feel sexy, so it's all good.

Exactly. They adjusted for many variables—but not for nutrition/diet? So I still doubt it is the diet coke making you fat, but the nutrition habits that often accompany it!

After reading the Rolling Stone, among other, profiles—I am convinced this woman is at the least, a pathological liar, if not mentally unstable. I think the scariest part about people like her is they truly believe their own lies, which is what makes them convincing. Sarah Palin was a power-hungry amateur compared to…

I am not trying to be catty or disparage nursing—(I too have gotten a nursing certification to help work my way through school) but being an LPN, especially in the day and age she was one, is not a big deal. Today, at best, it is a one year degree with continuing education. Often attainable from graduating from a…

I think we all know and can agree that douching is often not necessary and bad—but can we also please agree that this cat is awesome? I love this! As I have become the annoying person who interrupts people sentences whenever they use gender/race/sex as any sort of insult and make them stop and think of a new word.

As a hopeful medical student (applying this summer!) reading this makes me so very, very angry. Where is the outrage from doctors that legislators are cutting their payments and reimbursements without regard? In health care reform, we heard about it all the time, but not now?

New York—In an unexpected twist of events, the US economy made an astonishing recovery thanks to the single handed assistance of the lingerie market. Women were seen running from Saks Fifth Avenue and Nordstroms clutching overstuffed bags of expensive silky things. One spoke on the condition of anonymity saying "I've…
