But how do you refer to I-5? I find that even NorCal folks call it "the 5." I always figured the "101" or "101" was the exception.

One of my parents grew up in California; but hadn't lived there in probably over 20 years. One day we were at a cafe somewhere in the midwest (sorry, can't totally remember location - we were driving through a lot of places on vacation), and our waiter asked her if she was from California. He could tell because of…

So does my sibling! Always said "melk." We weren't raised in Cali but our family is from there so we would have been influenced by the California accent, so maybe that's it...

I'm sure by "naturally" you still presume that she has some really good product in it to keep it tamed. I get what you are saying; I'm just saying that even that hair probably is not completely naturally and probably needed a little help.

I generally don't give a crap about engagement rings...the societal and economical implications they represent and present along with the fact that i don't need a ring for someone to prove my worth or their commitment to me. And, so many styles are so over the top. that said - I would wear the shit out of that ring. …

I know. It is amazing. You may haev inspired me to really regain my discipline.

i know this was tangential to your point. But, I have a substantial wheat intolerance, and, at my healthiest, I wasn't eating flour of almost any kind, and very little to no sugar, and I dropped my weight by 20 pounds pretty quickly. five pounds came off almost immediately because I just wasn't swollen anymore. …

see now. You have enlightened me to the fact that this was a burqa - as you stated that was actually designed as a burqa. yes, I have a problem with it now.

Me neither.

Sorry people are calling you stupid. Cultural appropriation is wrong. But, I think you aked a valid question as to why this specific piece is wrong. I think these commenters are saying that is based on a burqa. I just see someone covered in silly pink mesh. Not sure why it has to have been appropriated from the…

I don't understand why it has to be a burqa. It looks like a giant pink mosquito net to me. Are we culturally appropriating campers? I know...I know...I get the difference between muslim women being oppressed and not campers. My point is that either way we are making a determination of what the clothing item is. …

In her vice column she compares herself to Lindsay Lohan, so, really, not all that unexpected.

I really dislike this post. It's one thing to answer someone's question with an opinion without discussing responsibility and risk factors. But this didn't even seem like anyone was interested in anything other than fawning over Cat like she is the cat's meow because she does uber drugs, is proud of it, and is still…

Yes!

Ah - thanks. This helps.

The same underlying article says that Obama has said middle income is $250,000.00 or less. How is this different. He messed up when he said "No" to $100,00.00, because it makes him look like he thinks less thant $200,000 isn't middle income. But, that's not really what he said. He said $200,000 to $250,000 and less.…

Exactly my thoughts. Pharoah's acting chops are so subpart to Armisen that I am now pretty much not looking forward to the election coverage on SNL this year, which are usually some of their better segments.

I hear what you're saying. But, I would make the distinction between a privately owned company and a publicly traded company. I agree that neither should actually be persons. But I do think if someone owns a company privately he should have more freedom in deciding how it is run. That said, I think all companies…

I know - it's as if they are saying she chose to pick her face adn whatever else she did to her body. That meth had nothing to do with it and she just made a bad decisionwhile taking it. Really? So, basically if you have self-control you can take meth and just not engage in these other destructive behaviors? hunh?

I know. But, I guess that is the difference between someone who looks for fun in risky behaviors (drugs, etc) and me. I don't know if it's wiring or conditioning or where we each stand emotionally, but I have definitely seen people with complete opposite thoughts when it comes to drugs. i'm with you - I look at this…
