My dad watched it and actually contacted me today to get me to watch it, too. I've seen previews and the premise is interesting, so I'm good for at least one episode.

Steps one-infinity: Don't enter into any marriage where you meet your new life partner for the first time at the altar.

He could be a raging douchenozzle for all I know, but if I looked like that, I'd probably randomly flex anytime I was in front of a camera, too.

I love Jamie Dornan, but even his hotness can't convince me to watch 50 Shades. He was so good on Once Upon a Time and in The Fall, but I am unable to think of anything besides him that I would enjoy about that movie, and he's not enough on his own.

Agreed. Nothing about it looks like anything that would interest me. There are a lot of things that I enjoy that other people do not, so I totally get the "not for me but not necessarily bad" distinction.

Google says somebody named Deborah Chiel wrote the book that that movie was adapted from, so you're safe from Sparks taint.

My parents were able to attend some of the larger events of my school career, like musicals and graduations, but they were almost never able to make it to events that took place during the day. I knew that they had jobs, and it never occurred to me to believe that I was any less loved or prioritized than children…

My mother had a career while my brother and I were growing up, and it was nice to visit her at her job and be fussed over by her coworkers. I knew that she was capable and grew up believing that I was also capable, because I saw my closest female role model accomplish a lot. I didn't realize until I was 16 that there…

Miranda Lambert's new hair is awful. No, girl. No.

Everything I know about that movie comes from random gifs I've seen on the internet. So it definitely rained, and they almost kissed.

I'm with you guys. I never even have to mention it in conversation, because people just assume that everyone has seen The Notebook. It did come up on a date, once. He was pretty impressed that I'd managed to avoid it, while he'd been guilted by a previous girlfriend into watching it. I'm pretty proud that I've managed…

Congratulations on missing out on some of the best music of the 90s!

Internet doctors be like...

I forget all the time that they're related. I think it's because I don't want to believe that Melissa shares any of Jenny's horrible genes.

Kill it with fire.

I have had a white winter coat for the last 5 years, and the amount of time it spends in the dry cleaners is truly ridiculous. I'm no more clumsy than the average person, but New York is pretty dirty, and my brother's kids love to touch me with their dirty kid hands. The coat never stood a chance at staying clean.

Shut it, Skinner.

I got boobs at 13 but didn't get my period until I was nearly 15, and so was convinced that there was something really wrong with my insides. Then I got my period and it was so heavy that I was hospitalized due to the heaviness of my cramps. I didn't know when I had it good.

Ugh, this man needs to be fired so hard.

I am really good at leaving voicemails, and impressed the crap out of a friend once when I did so without saying "um" at all in 45 seconds. It's just a matter of having your thoughts together before you start speaking. It's not like somebody's going to interrupt you and derail your chain of thought. That being said, I…
