Lindy does say it's the wrong clip in the post, but the video doesn't give me any sense of the burn or Jen's "steez." It's just two famous girlfriends gossiping.

Yep. I took my mom to Intimacy and she said it changed her life. My mom isn't prone to hyperbole, either.

Yay, I was waiting for this one!

That's only the journalists who still have full-time jobs. At the newspaper I worked at for years, most reporters were laid off entirely or had their hours cut so substantially that they had to take second and third jobs. The first to go? Those with good salaries. Now they hire green college grads on the serious cheap…

Video requires less brain power than reading. I swear, my reading comprehension is usually pretty solid. Especially with Lindy's pieces. Plus I've never seen Chelsea Lately and was curious ... I can't decide if I love or hate her.

Adopting a human is incredibly expensive. Shockingly so — $5k-$40k (the lower end is typically special-needs kids who will require a lot of financial support well beyond childhood). I know because my husband and I have been looking into it. By the time we saved enough, we'd be well past the point where we'd want to…

Whoops, my bad. :-) I kinda skimmed cause I wasn't *that* interested.

I remembered after responding to you earlier that I specifically asked if she'd receive a commission. Lulu employees apparently work on group commission, so this lady didn't profit more than any other employee. Also, Lulu used to pay for unlimited fitness classes for its employees (they still pay for some), which sure…

Ameago you are awesome. I nominate you for salesperson of the year. :-)

I'm confused. Did you post the wrong video? This one was about being nudist and collecting chicken eggs.

And you're (not "your") kind of hostile for no good reason. Have a nice day!

Actually, they gave me one gorgeous (and ludicrously expensive) bra for free and I got a pretty good discount on the rest, as I was there for a media event. I spent a lot because I bought a bunch (and a "fortune" is relative, as I'm a freelance writer, and even $60 is expensive to me). Even if I paid more than what…

Sorry, I was referring to my breasts. I didn't realize 38A was an unusual size. Plus, as this story points out, there's so much variety that one 38A is never exactly like another. Can you wear non-underwire bras? I can never, ever find those other than sports-bra styles (don't even get me started on sports bras, oy).…

Ha ha. Fair enough. Not just put a bird on it: we're talking kitties, puppies, butterflies, unicorns, tigers, lions, and bears. I'm too old for all that shit. The Urban stuff lately reminds me of what I wore in the 90s. Nobody needs reminding of that.

My husband went to the #1 graduate school for his scientific field. He got offers from two top schools for a tenure-track position. His smartest friend from the same program got a professor gig at a lesser university. The rest of his pals — we keep in touch with a bunch of them — are doing yet another postdoc or are…

I'm not convinced that any underwire bra is comfortable if you are large-breasted. I have been known to take my bra off in the car on the way home cause I can't stand it another minute. But the ones I got at Intimacy at least didn't give me back and pit bulge. And my clothing looked noticeably better. Plus they were…

What now? I know what the phrase means, but I'm not sure why it applies to me in this instance.

That's awesome, thanks for the info. Also, I just learned about the word embiggen.

A post from Discover mag on why everyone cannot or should not work in STEM.

Ooooh, I didn't know that. How do they make them bigger? Alas, I moved and don't have an Intimacy nearby anymore, but next time I'm down in San Diego I'll have to stop by.
