@sybilstryk: It's common enough in Japan that the family of the suicide victim will be charged for the clean-up and ancillary costs. They hope it will be a deterrent to other people who consider jumping in front of a train. #paloaltotrainsuicides

"I have nothing but admiration for anyone who's ever had the guts to simply come out and ask a lover what works and what doesn't."

@tiredfairy: Rifftrax! The only way to watch Twilight (and make it even more hysterical than it already is). #robertpattinsonvanityfair

I'm going as Katie from Paranormal Activity - I'll just wear a bunch of tank tops and screech a lot. #halloweencostumes

Well, damn. I'm currently wearing the "fat" jeans in that stupid Life & Style cover. I'd recognize that Lane Bryant V anywhere. #bradpittmotorcycleaccident

Only one thought came to mind:

"It's possible that guys, if they don't care, then it's very hard to impose those standards. Others argue that this is all a plot and the guys are just waiting out the women. I would go for 50-50."

@lolabee: It's an attempt to startle and be edgy, and you're right - it's also disingenuous.

@hortense: Good lordy lord, I watched that movie one boring Saturday and secretly kinda loved it. Thanks for the re-memories! #nicolehowell

@cait98: Not true at all. Students are perfectly capable of handling the responsibility of having a teacher's phone number. You need to talk to them first, and lay down some ground rules - and I think this is probably where the teacher failed, and she DEFINITELY should have demanded he stop using her phone number as…

@ericacartman: It's true, though! Kids at that age just *aren't* capable of empathy. Sometimes you have to teach them, and sometimes a gentle talking to ain't gonna work. #parents

@LaurieStrodeTheBoatAshore: My mom and my older sister have both, separately, told me that the key to solid parenting is to make your kids think you're just a little crazy, and you could (in theory) go off at any time.

The (semi) solution to the holes-in-the-thighs problem: buy three pair of the same jeans, and rotate accordingly. I had this problem constantly in high school, but it was only because I wanted to wear the same pair as often as I could (it's hard to find a pair of jeans that look and feel right). So now, if I find a…

@cate3710: YES! They do! Same with Lane Bryant, although their jewelry can verge on "Meaty-Armed Grandma." Also - Torrid sells boots in the fall that usually have wider calves. #biggirlinskinnyworld

@tiredfairy: Ooooh, I like this. A lot. I've been thinking about what it means for our generation to "grow up," because it does feel so much different from what I saw my parents and their parents do. They were joyless. I think a lot of us refuse to be joyless.

Thank you! I worry that others will disagree (particularly the anti-choice groups), but I don't see this as having much to do with the legality of abortion and access. It's much more about one particular woman who felt completely out of control, and found a way to exhibit control (albeit in a personal manner) in a…

This is AWESOME! Seriously, it can't be any worse than the original - which means it will be Awesome: Part II.

@AllieCaulfield: I'm sorry, but if you're in a long-term relationship with someone, and you have multiple affairs, there is VERY little difference.

Not to digress too much here, but the Conan video-editing schtick thing is getting much better.

@MakeFetch: All signs point to -YES-
