I get your point, but Neanderthal actually doesn’t have anything to do with your whiteness or European-ness, it’s a completely separate thing. Also, white people can come from a lot of different places, so I think it’s still pretty cool. I would have never guessed we had Eastern European in us.

I LOVE 23andme. I am white as a snowflake and yet 3% African. Hmmm... (PS, before anybody tells me that we’re all from Africa originally, that’s a different type of DNA test. 23andme only goes back a few hundred years, not to the cradle of civilization.)

I asked my fertility doc about getting my botox and he said to go for it. Don’t forget that botox is extremely local - if it moved much, your eyelid would droop, you wouldn’t be able to move your mouth, etc.

This makes me so sad (as does the horror museum bit). I went to a wedding there about 10 years ago and it was beautiful. I always thought I would love to return and stay there someday. Also, do the elk now roam the strip mall?? They were all over the streets and houses when we were there.

I still have my 1st generation ipod. I never upgraded. By the time I got around to thinking I should get another one, the iPhone was here and I had no more use for the ipod.

Ahhhh.. well, at least I feel better that a REAL person didn’t actually say that! Thanks for the heads up! :)

As someone who has an invisible condition/disability myself, NO. You are not as disabled as a quadriplegic. I hope your post is sarcasm or irony or making fun of over-PC people or something other than the literal meaning of your words.

And now my jar has THREE purposes...

I haven’t done it in a while, but you can use Benefit’s Benetint on your lips (they make one specifically for lips now also, but you can just multipurpose with the original too).

Have you tried a nice red brown, like Bobbi Brown’s Clove? It was discontinued, but with the 90s coming back I imagine there’s a good knockoff somewhere. I used to use it on everyone I knew in college and it looked good regardless of skin tone. Actually, sometimes I find her colors boring and then I remember that…

This girl is trying WAY too hard.

That’s so awesomely sweet about your kitty! I love that he trusts you so much! I have one of those bungee leashes and my maniac LOVES it - she jumps into it so that she can roam around our building courtyard with me. Today the landlord was using a chainsaw to trim the bushes and she was like “whatever, grass is…

I’ve got one of my cats to walk on a leash but only around our building courtyard- she’s a little too scared to go on the street with all the traffic. Any suggestions? We’ve also tried taking her to the park since it’s quieter but I think the big open spaces make her nervous. She sat and chilled but didn’t do any…

I’m afraid to tell you about this, but:

I realize this sucks, I do. But I don’t think “being ugly” is meant you are literally being physically ugly here. Particularly with my Southern family, it’s common to hear “being ugly” used in the same way you would say “being a jerk” or “being rude”, and it’s not gender specific. But what they should have done is…

I must disagree with your wedding cake assessment. Given, I haven’t been to a lot of weddings, but mine was freaking awesome. Although Mr. Snuffles and I couldn’t agree on the cake, so we ended up with a smaller bridal cake AND a groom’s cake, and we still fight over whose was more delicious. The problem is fondant -…

Yes, but I noticed Larry David had freakishly huge hands on SNL this past week, so maybe we’re just used to tiny people on TV?

I am so torn on Effie. I really thought she was largely at fault for the Farrelly thing and the passive aggressive “duly noted” + her California/Valley Girl accent drives me insane. That said, I REALLY REALLY hate that fucker Jason and hope he never works again. I just watched this week’s show and thought the edit…

I was hoping it would be a scary movie in time for Halloween but there was more gore than scares. And I can’t say too much without giving things away, but the plot is pretty common, nothing special. Upside: Hiddleston tush. And it is beautiful to look at, and the performances are decent.

I like her too but Crimson Peak was very disappointing for me.
