I hear this in the Harvey Levin "I'm a lawyer!" voice.

I really want to be cynical but it got me in the feels. Having curly hair it always baffled me that women would straighten it regularly (like daily) and I get more than touchy when I do happen to straighten my hair and everybody LOVES it. I can't even find a good stylist most of the time because they all want to blow…

Well I would definitely consider some of my worse relationships as some version of traumatic brain injury. Why else would have I stayed for so long? So yes, Mark, this is TOTALLY about that.

I would like to recruit that last woman for my zombie apocalypse team.

I guess it was pre. It was icky. I'm very happy I was totally blitzed but when I woke up I refused to open the curtains before leaving for fear it would get worse with light. But I concur with the imploding. As a local, I can say it's likely the only thing I'd watch there for entertainment.

You know what says skeevy? That I stayed there for FREE and thought I paid too much. It's nasty.

I always thought of myself as high in need for closure (I learned about it in grad school) but now I realize I'm not. Perhaps that's because as a person of color I've always known that the justice (ha!) system is not meant to find out WHO did it but to be able to find someone guilty of having done it. And this podcast…

Honestly, I'm not sure if I totally support the euphemism "plus size." It makes it sound like women who are outside of the norm, when the average woman in the US today is likely wearing one of these sizes. I'm just saying if we're going to get into a fight with Walmart over semantics we better be sure we know what we…

Thanks, and maybe I agree with you on this but these kinds of things happen all the time with us when it's something we both think is important. (We also got into a fight when I bought a house recently and we had VERY different ways of going about it, and again, we both thought our way was right.) We are both used to…

I'd like to ask for some advice on how to best handle having a stubborn best friend, while also being incredibly stubborn myself. We've been friends since we were 14 (now early 30s) and grew up in some pretty dysfunctional families that were poor to boot. We both ended up very successful relative to where we came from…

Does "obtained legally" mean that the boy owned the gun outright?

I'm so sorry to hear that. My father died after a long battle with various addictions. The one that killed him was his food addiction which resulted in a massive heart attack everyone saw coming. It's so difficult when someone dies in that way because there's so much anger: anger at the disease, at society for not…

I am so saddened that she was suffering from alcoholism. I feel like we should turn this into a moment of awareness. This horrible disease can take some of the most beautiful people.

It's SCIENCE! http://web.mit.edu/bcs/sinha/pape…

Not everyone goes to college.

I didn't realize there were religions other than my own until I was about 12. I just thought everyone was Catholic. It happens. No need to get upset about it.

That's my friend's research! So amazing for him!

I have a feeling this guy simply had a case of being a "mama's boy." He'd never had to make his own eggs and his mama didn't cook them any other way but one. There's a story in This American Life about a girl who didn't know people had anything other than chicken for dinner until she got to college because her mom…

Erin, I love you but it was hard for me to read "Yay!" when thinking about an abuser who killed his girlfriend and is going to jail for it. It's a sad thing all around. Saying "Yay!" is like saying that Pistorius is one of just a few of these kinds of guys and we're just so happy he's getting what he deserves. But…

The problem is the same one that stops people from using condoms. Even though some people are willing to put their body part into the body part of another person, they don't want to say the words OUT LOUD. They think it takes away from the "moment." What they need are some examples of sexy ways of getting affirmative…
