@blash: Haha i forget that part. I've only been to thanksgiving a few times. How can a whole holiday be centered around the most boring meat of all?

I got told off once for eating a vegetable dish at a dinner even though I am not a vegetarian. Some girl bitched me out even though there was way more than enough of it to go around, she told me I was being selfish and I should stick to the meat dishes unless I was a vegetarian. It was odd.

@safeword: ugh. I stopped watching a few years ago. Not that it was ever quality television, but I just got too creeped out.

@safeword: ugh i hate this. Tell me more about your dead mother. How did you feel when you were repeatedly abused as a child? Were you sad? So creepy.

lol I have read all the articles about how awful, painful and stupid these things are and I am still drawn to the idea. not even to lose weight, just to do it.

@Nimblicity: Lol mine too. I go to the thrift store and barely look at the sizes anymore. :) But I realise not everyone gets into it.

If you'd rather spend time than money: hemming things, shortening sleeves, taking in most shirts, you can do yourself, by hand, with minimal effort.

@ifoughtthelaw: Well I know she trashed him on Oprah, and everyone with an interest in the Presley legacy has tried to discredit the marriage itself, but this I think she has always been clear on. :)

@ifoughtthelaw: I see. Still don't see why the default assumption (and I don't just mean yours) would be that they couldn't possibly have been having sex during the several years they spent together. I mean she left the father of her kids for him, seems like he must have given her a solid reason. But I am not hating :)

@thequeenofstartingover: Same! I haven't had unpainted nails in years, but I've never gone to the salon. What is it that they do to your hands that you can't do yourself? So mysterious.

@ifoughtthelaw:

I don't get it. Wanting to paint your nails does not automatically mean a) having to go to the salon b) never being able to play in the sandbox again.

@feministabroad: they didn't say anything about look, they said fit.

@Dinosaurs and Nachos, girlfriend!: Ok.

@Dinosaurs and Nachos, girlfriend!: If your brothers want to take your son to a movie? I don't get it. They can take your kids to any movie, last I remember I was taken to R movies by adults who weren't my parents, The point is you, as the parent, can make an informed decision before hand and say, "I'd rather not have…

@PaintedTrollop: God, in a shared workplace is so ridiculous. And if a female cook(?) did the same she'd be treated like a sex offender. Great.

@PaintedTrollop: i'm pretty sure you're joking, but it's that "everyone loves female nudity" thing that bothers me the most about these issues. i could do with less naked chicks in films. i get nothing from it, and most of the time, when the camera ogles some girl's body all it does is drive home that this film was…

@Dinosaurs and Nachos, girlfriend!: well yeah, but is there much at stake if you are a non-parent adult?

Her statement, wow. That one man is all it takes to make a strong girl like that to feel so vulnerable.

@Sniper RK a.k.a. JeevesofRKdia: Really? I've never heard that outside of Jezebel. But then again, the rest of my family is super Catholic. ("Support our priests during these trying times!")
