Gosh, I hope you mean palette, not palate. Because Yuck.

I did and that marriage was left in the dust long ago!

Well, this is weird. If you read the actual report, it says that another related risk factor is height. "The evidence that developmental factors leading to greater linear growth (marked by adult attained height) are a cause of ovarian cancer is convincing. " So nutritional and other factors that make you taller also…

My Grandmother said that of cats she had known
Her favorite by far was old Dan;
He'd stand on the floor, and his eyes simply shone
When she opened the tunafish can.
With his eyes shining bright, and a groan of delight
He'd rub against Grandma and purr,
'Til one day he knocked Grandma down
For by then he was bigger than her.

Dick Gregory: “Down South they don’t care how close I am as long as I don’t get too big, and up North they don’t care how big I am as long as I don’t get too close.”

Well, er... sometimes I do that.

Sounds Victorian, like "limbs."

I applaud your attempt, but it would appear the web has redefined vagina to mean "ladyparts between the legs whether internal or external." It is sad.

The question of whether this stuff is "appropriate" depends on where it appears. A lot of the exasperation over at STFUparents has to do with suddenly running across pictures of very icky things in your normally innocuous FB feed.

But he has the tone, temperament, and record of a capable and responsible establishment figure. That, combined with Walker’s record as a reformist…

It's true that I used to want Tommy Thompson at the mercy of media background checks...

I wasn't able to do enough to help get this guy recalled, but if he seriously runs for President I'll quit my day job to campaign against him. You really, really don't want him running the rest of the country at the Koch brothers' beck and call.

THANK you. Srsly.

For dinner with a less bitchy mother in law, brandy old fashioneds made with a really good brandy.

"socially responsible"? What, because everybody owes SOCIETY to be a particular weight?

I'm kind of headdesking right now, because you know how I am dressing? WARMLY. It's about 2F outside right now. I'm rocking a lot of long underwear and huge fluffy sweaters with my work-approved office pants. I'm not a mini-skirt person normally, but I CERTAINLY wouldn't be one this winter!

I'm not gonna comment on her, but I will say this about The Biggest Loser: just rewarding someone for lowering the number of pounds they weigh is Not Wise. How about rewarding people for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol? For doubling or tripling the distance they can walk without a rest, or measuring their…
