Maria Menounos says that she keeps fit by being active and gave as an example, taking the stairs instead of the elevator. She also mentioned a goal of walking 10,000 steps a day.

Dupont Circle is a great neighborhood that would be quite close to your job in Georgetown but it is a bit pricey. Adams Morgan is also a good option although the bar scene can make it a bit loud/chaotic at times. I especially like U street. It has a great jazz, international, alternative vibe (sort of like a tiny…

I started out wanting to go to med school after I left college with a degree in Biochemistry and Microbiology. I did a really fancy internship that was supposed to prepare me for applying to med school and realized that I was easily grossed out by bodily fluids and had no bedside manner when I did rounds. But I really…

Ditched the med school route in favor of public health (yay epi) and I could not be happier. I was always icked out by the idea of working with patients and public health research has been amazing so far (I'm 4 years out).

You're exactly right that this was probably his attempt to get you to engage and bravo to you for venting here and not replying. I will never understand how people behave badly in a relationship and then do everything to get your attention instead of quietly fading away. Keep on ignoring.

I'm sorry. I made it to 40 seconds before I had to shut her shit down. I tried.

They can totally have each other. They both seem superficial as hell.

But everyone's beauty fades as they age, right? Why is this tragic fate only reserved for women?

Oh boy. I'm going through this right now. I'm skinny, early 30s and have a terrible family history of heart disease. I'm talking about relatives having bypass surgery in their mid to late 30s and my own mother having a fatal heart attack at 5ft, 98lb and 33 years old.

What exactly is J Lo going to do if someone looks in her direction? How does she enforce these bullshit rules?

I always wonder about the hierarchy of what is acceptable to racists. What if the Cheerios commercial had been white man/black woman? Or an asian/black couple? Is it just white women who need to be protected? So many questions.

The cheating down thing always perplexed me. But now that you say it's primarily for ego purposes, it all makes sense.

Amen. If Paula freaking Patton has to follow her weird looking husband around to see if he's cheating and he's busy playing grab-ass with some plain chick, then there is NO HOPE for anyone. I give up now.

And in addition to rape, there is having to endure the wrath of the rapist's wife when she discovers that her husband has taken a 'liking' to a little slave girl.

I wish I had said that but I just sat there staring at him in disbelief. Not to stereotype but he is a very sheltered white Southerner. Perhaps it really is in his best interest to believe that.

A coworker told me, it's not like they didn't give the slaves food and a place to stay.

I think I'm conventionally attractive and funny and friendly. But I'm a scientist. I've found that many men who approach me get instantly turned off when they find out what I do.

I wholeheartedly agree. I hear/see the same thing with President Obama and it really irritates me. If you aren't their personal friend, show some damn respect.

Twerking has been around forever, Billy. Just because your daughter just discovered it, doesn't mean it's a recent 'invention'.

Eh. If I see everyone going through one door, I'll assume the other doors are locked or something. Also, I get crazy hardcore static electric shocks every winter. If I can get through my day without touching anything metal, like the door handle, I will.
