Ovarian cancer is one of the worst of the lot — it is virtually impossible to detect until it is too late, and once you have it, even if you take out the ovaries, it reappears elsewhere quickly. The 5-year survival rate is very low. Removing them in advance is a good idea from a "playing the odds" perspective. …

Well, if they weren't hacked before, they sure are now ...

I am sure this is how the conversation goes before the Obama family leaves the house ...

Well, this is also assuming that not only all of the cheerleaders, but also all of the football players must agree with the sign — the players are supposed to burst through this banner when they go on the field.

Me too! I was the third of three girls. My parents were so sure they were having a boy, they only had boy names picked out. I was supposed to be Stephen and wound up a variation of Stephanie.

January Jones actually had a cool "Liquid Sky" look going on. I give her props.

I once batted my eyes, undid a few buttons and played dumb to get a guy to change my tire. Yes, I know perfectly well how to change a tire, but it was COLD and RAINING and I was parked in a freaking MUD OCEAN. He felt like a hero; I stayed warm, clean and dry. Everybody wins. I am not ashamed of this.

When I was in college, a friend described a girl he thought was totally hot by saying "... and she has such nice posture!". I thought this was so so weird at the time, since we were all cultivating the perfect bored punk rock unhealthy look, which involved tons of slouching. But, that stayed in my head and I started…

Talk to your doctor - mine injects me tiny amounts all along the orbital bone towards my nose. Relaxes the wrinkles in the bags and smooths it all down. I'm not really baggy, but what I have makes me look tired. The botox is enough to smooth them down.

Seriously, sunscreen is magic. I've worn it every day since I was about 25, rain or shine. My sister is two years older than me and pretty much never wears it (and she lives in FLORIDA). Not only does she have much deeper wrinkles than I do, her skin in general looks thicker and older and less smooth than mine…

It's not going to take them away if you have big bags. It does help though, I guess by taking out the wrinkly bits that make them more obvious and tired-looking and make it so they kind of smooth their way into the rest of your face. My doctor does a curve around from just below my eyebrows (on the outside) and…

Actually, I am from NYC. And, I think that 28 is way too young to get botox. Wear sunscreen every day and wait until your mid-30s.

Honestly, it's less painful than a bikini wax. They aren't sticking the needle as deep as, say, a vaccine - it only goes in a bit and it's a small needle. It's not pleasant, but it's pretty quick and they ice you first. Figure 3 minutes of ouchies vs 5 months of pissy-looking lines between your eyes, and the 3…

You get the Nicole Kidman thing if you inject a bucket of the stuff into your face and try to erase every possible line. That was pretty fashionable a few years ago, but seems to be out now. Today, they use less and don't try to take out everything, so it looks much more natural.

Cue all the 25 year olds saying how they'd never ever get botox, because they want to age gracefully and wrinkles are awesome and all that shit.

In the 80s at Wesleyan, there were two days each year (Uncle Duke Day and Zonker Harris Day) dedicated to taking a bunch of acid and running around tripping. The university never seemed to have any real issue with it. They apparently still do Duke and Zonker Days, but do people not do acid anymore? How is this so…

I don't understand why they don't build human-powered gyms. I go to the gym and there will be 50 people pedaling away all day long, surely enough to power the lights or something.

Seriously, I tried that. But, we're a tiny non-profit with only 8 employees. Not much room to hide dead weight. Sigh. Instead, I just do her job plus mine wherever possible.

Yeah, I had a 24 year old employee tell me that she wasn't responsible for a missed assignment because I hadn't reminded her to do it and hadn't checked in with her to make sure she hadn't forgotten. She just blew another assignment and told me "It would be great if you would stop blaming me for things that aren't my…

It is possible if you do not include the word "wedding" in your plans. Basically, as soon as you add the word "wedding", everything costs 10x what it would cost if you were buying it for a regular event.
