I'm so sorry to hear about your hospitalization - hope you're doing better now! In case you ever need a smile, this never fails to make me laugh...

I slather my sharp cheddar grilled cheese sandwiches with mayo on the inside of the bread, then grill in lots of butter. Delicious :)

I mix it with water or vanilla soymilk, but it would also be great in a smoothie with banana, berries, etc. I've tried a bunch of different powders and this is definitely my favorite in terms of flavor and nutrition. Good luck!

This stuff is amazing and made from whole foods. Plus, the chocolate actually tastes...not terrible!

Really? I remember us discussing our hatred of the word in college, which was approximately a decade before HIMYM. I didn't know that they discussed it.

Pejorative. Love it.

People do tend to get married earlier in the South, which doesn't make it any better of an idea. I lived with 3 female roommates in college and all 4 of us married our college boyfriends precisely 2 years out of school. I quickly realized I was too young and divorced after a couple of years, which meant that I got to…

Oh, the door thing is tricky for lots of pups! I foster a lot, and you'd be amazed how many dogs (adults and puppies) can't figure out the whole 'push the ajar door open' thing. Cracks me up every time.

I bought a sample Monique Lhullier at an insane discount at a trunk show - $1200 for a gorgeous dress. I adored it, even though it was more than I intended to spend (2nd marriage). I cut back on other expenses to make up for it.

I have 2 pairs of Jimmy Choos (gifts from a boyfriend) - they've lasted 10 years and are still amazingly comfortable. Hate to admit it, but the really expensive brands are sometimes worth it.

Wait, slushie wine drink?? Do tell me more...

I get so overwhelmed by all of the 'perfect' bodies in 'perfect' shape that I avoid the gym altogether.

I have blond leg hair and spray tan occasionally without a problem. The most important thing is to really exfoliate before and kind of gently buff the spray tan in with a towel afterwards. I'm a big fan of the Versa Tan booths at the tanning salons - idiot proof. Dr. Peter T Roth also makes awesome tanning wipes.

Hah, it was a while ago - maybe 2007? It was in Bethesda, MD - I'm the 'sassy blond friend' :)

I was on House Hunters! A friend of mine applied to be on the show when she knew they'd be moving, but her husband ended up being out of town when they had to film. I got to be the trusty friend offering up insightful comments such as 'this paint is a deal-breaker'. Totally fake (they'd already bought the house and we…

Hearted. Both of you are geniuses who have clearly spent time in entry level grad school classes, in which everyone is discovering their privilege for the first time. Awesome.

Oh, I'm so sorry. I have similar issues to you. The best thing my therapist said to me was to set a timer for 30 minutes and just 'do something' for that time. Get off the sofa, do laundry, wash dishes, anything. When the 30 minutes is over, sit back down and go back to doing nothing. It sounds weird, but it helps…

Thank you. I have body image issues that make going to the gym terrifying. If these give me some confidence, then I don't give a fuck if you think I'm a "stupid yuppy'. Quit judging.

Seriously? Go fuck yourself. I have a perfectly happy marriage. I'm tired of this meme that all marriages are sexless and boring. Do I believe in marriage? No, not particularly. But I believe in my marriage because I went into it with both eyes open.

Amen! We have people come to the shelter every day who want a 'perfect' puppy. Dogs are living creatures, not stuffed animals.
