It was LOTS of fun. I highly recommend it. This year I'm going low-key, but I will be returning to the themed party in the future.

This sounds like my birthday party last year. No really. It was prom themed, complete with punch. I wore a Cinderella blue dress and a tiara. And then we all went to the bar and did shots.

Are you in nursing school right now? Good luck! That was a rough time but the payoff is so worth it!

1. My BFF's mother is a flight attendent for AA right now. Things are ROUGH for them. They have made all sorts of changes that basically boil down to more work for less pay. She has always loved her job but is now so overwhelmed and stressed out by it that she will probably take early retirement this year. She's…

I live in Manhattan. I have eaten lots and lots of amazing, delicious, "authentic" Italian food. I still think that OG has the best minestrone soup EVER.

Or sing to them! (To the tune of "Oh My Darlin' Clementine") KITTY BABIES, KITTY BABIES, KITTY BAAAABIES I LOVE YOU! YOU ARE FURRY, SOFT, AND PURRY, KITTY BABIES I LOVE YOU!" OH YESH I DO! THAT'S RIGHT BABIES, I DO. MWUAH!!!!!

I totally agree. It made me cringe.

What's up with the bathing-suit skirt ruffle tacked on to an otherwise gorgeous dress? And WHY is it that I see this as hideous but Nina and Tim see it as glamorous?

I know. This is what I miss most about the ex. Well, one of the things anyway. He ALWAYS did the dishes.

Well thank goddess. All this time I've been wanting to try wine, but kept holding back because I'm a woman. I mean, what it the bottle didn't match my outfit or clashed with my decor? What it the wine didn't go with my mood? I want my wine to UNDERSTAND me. Now I don't have to pay attention to things like "dry"…

This actually gave me chills. Well done.

Don't worry, PETA's got all of those covered too

According to some animal rights activists: yes. They are.

You are not. That was my first reaction as well. The tiger seems upset and all the people laughing just irritated me.

Meh. I was doing this in 1998 when I was a senior in high school, sans the sexy part. I also rarely wore make-up. My boyfriend has already graduated and I wasn't trying to impress anyone. I also had a 4.0 so there goes the "lack of motivation" criticism. (for the record, for most of high school I attempted to look…

And me!

What height/weight parameters are you using? Because according to most standards you are right in the middle of the healthy weight range for being 5'6" (125-154) lbs, not at the top end.

It did, but already lost to "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."

What's your birthstone? I want an aquamarine (which happens to be my birthstone, but is also a stone that I love anyway) in an antique setting—different, not associated with murder, and a lot cheaper as well. Estate jewelry/antique diamonds are another good alternative.

As a medical professional, this angers me to no end. If you want to pick and choose who "deserves" medical care, you are in the wrong profession. Get out. I worked as an ER nurse for years, then became a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner where I have worked in a homeless shelter for men with a history of addiction and…
