Marie Claire was my favorite when she was the editor, lots of great articles about national and global women’s issues. After she left there were lots of articles about the newest cosmetic surgery procedures. It seemed like she got a little more serious content into Cosmo but it all got drowned out by the typical silly…

Hot water isn’t necessary for hand washing. The water you use isn’t hot enough to kill germs and is probably worse in that it dries your hands more, leading to your skin cracking and allowing bacteria an entrance.

Oh wow! I hadn’t realized it was nearly 20 years ago that happened. It seems like it was not that long ago. Maybe because not enough has changed.

I never realized so many people were into potlucks! This is going to be an unpopular opinion in the comments thread, but I’m with you on this, Kara. I’m not a fan of potlucks.

“OK, so the loser Harvard student in Legally Blonde who Reese Witherspoonbefriends has divorced his wife, which is sad, but did you know he’s the son of Anthony Perkins?!” And his mother Berry Berenson-Perkins was a passenger in one of the planes hijacked and flown into the Twin Towers on 9/11. His brother Elvis…

He actually cut off funding for his state’s abstinence only education.

18 years is a long life. It’s never long enough though. I’m truly sorry for your loss and I’m sending you lots of hugs.

At least everyone understands your grief when you lose a person close to you. Not everyone does when it’s a companion animal. I’m so sorry you lost your two.

He was. It still hurts.

As long as we’re posting cat pictures here’s my cat Seth. I lost him at the end of May. He had the biggest personality, slept with his head on my cheek at night, was photogenic as fuck, and is very sorely missed.

Once I started using Zoya that was it for me. The colors are great, they wear well, and Zoya is always having sales. When I got my 6 bottles from this promotion it came with a coupon for 3 free minis, I just have to pay shipping. I’m buying polish faster than I cam wear it at this point.

One of my friends was a beat cop in a metropolitan area. I asked him once how he hadn’t lost his faith in humanity and he said he had. He’s a detective in the sex crimes unit now so I can’t imagine things have improved for him any.

It’s a play on words holdover from my punk youth but I guess my user name totally negates the fact that I’ve been polite with you while you’ve been nasty and angry with me throughout this entire exchange. Good to know me calling myself Rudebarb totally justifies you calling me a dick with no provocation.

Aw. But you seem super sweet!

Meh. I thought she was only OK in that. I thought the choice to go with a English accent while she was trying to blend in in Scotland was pretty indicative of her limited talents.

My comment wasn’t excessively shitty and the amount of money you make is no indication of how good you actually are at your job lots of times. I’m not sure what buttons I inadvertently pushed to make you comment with such a disproportionate amount of hostility. Just breathe. It’ll be OK.

Ugh. But she’s so not good at it. She has no range, no charisma.

He doesn’t seem to be a super conservative Republican if that makes it any better.

Yeah. That’s why I’ve not been able to get on The Rock bandwagon.

Well, The Rock is Republican so that’s a little iffy.
