I'm not sure I want to know this, but how did the phrase "turning your luck" come to be? I don't see the correlation.

Honest to goodness, my aunt found a blonde little bear rifling through her trash years ago who got his snout stuck in a peanut butter jar. He knew what he was doing was wrong—when my aunt gave him a stern look, he looked guilty and whimpered away.

I used to eat Cheerios everyday for breakfast. Everyday. Never anything else.

Really?! Wow. That's...amazing.

Guys where can I watch all of Sailor Moon? I spent one summer of high school watching ALL of it in Japanese (I don't speak Japanese—or any Asian language—at all), but it was still very understandable. I know that a few eps of the American version are on Hulu, but does anybody know where I can watch all the…

I don't mean this at all in a snarky way, because I'm honestly curious—how does it cost $4k to $8k to recruit, hire, and train new servers at restaurants or fast food places? That seems like a great deal of money and with the way the economy is, I expect lots of servers to be out of work and able to snap up a position…

I reduced my fear by having my father take care of all my investments. It's a very laissez-faire approach. He's not a CPA or financial planner, but he LOVES playing the stock market (and he does well enough at it), so I figure that it brings him joy and I don't have to spend the hours researching stocks like he does.…

I logged in at that time because I wanted to see what the final day of sales would entail. I did not realize they were trying to break a record!

I'm confused as to why this is news. Anybody who is nominated for an Oscar is invited to join AMPAS. This isn't broadening the reach to be more inclusive. They're just...following the rules.

This reminds me of my mom! When she was pregnant with me, she ran a 5k race, and then told my dad she was pregnant. When I heard about that, I yelled at her for endangering my life—she only had one working ovary when she got pregnant with me, and she had a very difficult time of getting pregnant, as well as having…

Yeah I meant for the actual play itself—not meaning rehearsals/makeup/etc, at which time she can mess up things and it won't be as big a deal.

I wonder if she knows that means she'll actually have to work for two hours straight each night without breaks, without whining, and without asking for another take. I'm not so much concerned about her acting if this role was originated by Madonna.

Amen.

I use this method for Kindle books. Generally, because it is an electronic copy and Amazon can take it back at any point (there was a book where this happened to and it was a big deal, but I don't remember when or what it was for), I don't like spending a lot of money on those books. If the book is under $5, I buy it…

Krakow is very cheap for Europe (it's not on the Euro). Case in point: We had a very nice meal at the equivalent of a five-star restaurant with appetizers, soup/salad, main course, wine and dessert for six people for $125 total. We went specifically for a wedding where they rented out the entirety of a small palace…

What Modcloth gets wrong: Quality. I am on the skinnier side, but I still can't fit my boobs into some of their dresses. And their dresses tend to be see-through. The only thing their dresses are good for is cosplay. I know they have an Orphan Annie dress and a River Song dress off the top of my head. Or if you want…

I have a paid subscription to Nexis, but that being said, you can also hire a company to do a background check on you. It will cost a few hundred dollars, though.

I went to a women's college. We were free to be ourselves—and in this case, that meant lamenting the death of a talented and handsome actor.

I'm more concerned about the heels—how are they going to run the bad guys down when they're wearing three inch stilettos? I can understand the shortening of skirts if it allows for more movement. It looks like that, if those skirts were longer, they'd be more form-fitting, pencil-like skirts.

The only celebrity death I remember vividly was Heath Ledger's. I was at college, in my dorm in NYC. Girls started screaming in the hallways, crying. I ran out to ask what had happened. I went back into my room because I had to take a moment to myself.
