My parents have a friend named Richard King. Who (voluntarily) goes by “Dick”.

My best friend is Chinese with nearly waist-length hair and we're both pushing 50. I love hassling her about when she's going to get middle-aged asian lady hair.

When people say that they fear they will no longer be a woman or won't be feminine, it's not really what you are thinking.

When faced with a hysterectomy and instant menopause, the feeling that you won't be a "woman" anymore, or won't be attractive or won't ever have sex again or maybe won't want to have sex again is a very real and very traumatic thing. Support groups for women pre-surgery are at least 75% concerns related to this. …

The hormones help a lot, if you are able to take them. I had a total hysterectomy four years ago at age 44. For the two weeks after the surgery, I had one non-stop hotflash and was covered head-to-toe with what seemed to be diaper rash from the sweating. Went on hormones and love them - I really have no bad side…

My last apartment had super thin walls and you could hear everything that went on in the other apartments.

I asked my rabbi about this years ago! It doesn't make any sense — chickens don't make milk, so cheese with chicken should be fine. Perhaps eggs and chicken should be a problem, but it isn't.

The first one I bought in the late 80s was about $75. The most recent on I bought in the early days of the Iraq war was about $225. It's just about had it - I think I need to get a new one next winter.

Carry's apartment was pretty realistic — she lived in a studio apartment in a walk up building. The main room was maybe 300 square feet. It was rent controlled or stabilized. I lived in a similar joint (worse neighborhood, but bigger and with an elevator) for about $700 a month.

There are Ferraris and there are FERRARIS. There's a low end bullshit Ferrari driven by balding orthodontists and there are serious old cars that are breathtakingly beautiful.

I can't borrow, say, a 72 Dino and use it to teach some yahoo how to drive stick.

Um? Am I being dumb? So, I get that one of the dents on her lower torso on the right side is where her leg meets her body.

I never understood why people don't realize that the best cool old cars require stick (and, if they are older than 1964, double-clutch).

Sunscreen and avoiding tanning is no joke. I'm the same age as Cindy. I'm probably 30lbs heavier, so there's that, but my skin looks better than hers because I've worn sunscreen every single day since I was 25.

Olive Garden's commercials make me gag. Everything looks like it is doused in snot sauce. I've never eaten there (I live in NYC and I'm super snotty)

I get food obsessions - not so much anymore, but all the time when I was growing up.

I simply do not understand this. I've been tweezing my 1" wide, ear-to-ear unibrow every single day for 40 years and not a SINGLE hair has decided to just give up and stop coming back. WTF?

The night of my seventh grade dance, I got myself all made up to be beautiful and attempted to go out like that. It was 1979. I was wearing hot pink blush in stripes up my cheeks, navy blue eyeshadow from lash to brow, and purple gloppy lipstick. I was also doused in Love's Baby Soft.

Ronan Farrow tweeted "Joni Ernst delivering response in the style of an in-flight safety video."

I went off the pill when I turned 35, and was suddenly plagued with ever-worsening migraines, hayfever and sinus problems. I was pretty much down for the count from mid-August until November each year. I also wound up with ever-worse periods (huge gross clumps, heavy heavy blood, lasting 2 weeks).
