i think they're supposed to be - like she's so involved in the emotion of whatever she is singing. But, damn, Elle, could they have stretched her any further from top to bottom. Britney has an incredible body and they just stretched it WAY out of proportion. She is very, very muscular, especially in the legs; why…

Yeah. I'm not sure about the sales opportunities for Pampered Chef - they don't sell things you have to replace too often so you don't have repeat business. But they do sell really quality products. I actually enjoy going to their parties because i know i will buy something, because their products are well made,…

yeah, Sisto seem smore somber almost, serious. Leo's Jack was more playful.

I actually think the use of emoticons instead of words is simply a recognition that we all rely on more than verbal cues to get a full understanding of communication that is directed at us.

okay - you've brought up something that has been bugging me from day one of this show. When Alana first said "Honey Boo Boo" child on Toddler's and Tiara's, I didn't take it as she was calling herself that. At the time she was waving her finger back and forth and saying "those other kids must be crazy if they're…

I think I agree with what you're saying - not that capitalism works (I actually don't like it very much as a governmental platform - I personally don't like the idea of valuing my stuff more than other people - that's not a judgment on you by any means) but that we are seeing the side effects from it.

Yes.

I see pregnancy and birth control as a personal responsibility issue too. That said, I also think that it should be funded through health care. As you pointed out - there are many people with varying disabilities or health issues, some caused by the person adn some not, that are covered by healthcare. I think if…

I think we all recognize that women's issues are important and deserve significant consideration on their own merit, by both parties. But, I think article concedes that the GOP probably won't go for that, so we are at least poking holes in the one argument that has been made that keeps women's issues from being given…

I agree with this completely. It's not that they don't get it. It's that they get it, but can't win it, so they reframe the entire argument.

i don't know about the tricking men into part, maybe. But, I can definitely see the social norms having an impact on this reporting. Men are allowed to have cold feet - movies are made around men's insecurity or inability to get married because marriage is in direct opposition to the bachelorhood that they…

And so sad; I mean there are people being killed daily in Syria. Heck, there are newsworthy things going on here. When, as a public, are we going to demand better. So frustrating.

Exactly.

This is just depressing.

I know. I have weird feelings on these things too. I don't know him personally, but he seems smart, witty and nice. I really liked it when they paired him with Sandra Bullock the best because she seems that way also. I don't know Blake Lively but she seems to ooze niceness but not in teh down-to-earth sort of way,…

Hm. I disagree. You can have a very complicated good person who is interesting.

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that.

Geez - why can't we just agree that we are all women - entitled to wear what we want at whatever age we want, get married at whatever age we want, wear funky colored nail polish as long as we want, and leave it at that. True, I might not look like the ideal woman of the 50's who is polished and put together everyday…

Ah, thanks.

Hm. Interesting. I keep trying to find some way to connect with it. Maybe that type of grief - the torment that drove Heathcliff to virtually abuse everyone connected with the situation after Catherine's death - is just not tolerated in present day and I am comparing it to the way I think the sitation should have…
