There's an episode of Radio Lab called "Animal Minds" with a story about a whale trapped in nets who is freed by a group of people and how she thanks each one of them. Totally chokes me up.

Ok, I have to admit that I watch Survivor. Not every season, but somewhat regularly. I love all the strategy and the drama of the challenges. Anyhoo, my point, and I do have one in relation to women and makeup: obvs while they're in the jungles of wherever no one is shaving or putting on concealer, etc. and the…
Where was the straight up chocolate cake? Pie is afraid to face it.
Last year I heard John Cacioppo (Psych, Univ. of Chicago) speak about his studies on loneliness. He contends that it's a serious health issue and can even be a problem for people who have plenty of social contact. (It can be an issue of feeling disconnected from others even if one spends time with people regularly).

@jenjen: I'll check them out. Thanks!
@MargaretMoony: Ah, I envy you a Nordstrom. I'm in a smaller town and am cobbling things together between Target, Old Navy and the internet (I hate paying shipping to try things on). A few yearly trips to NYC fill in the gaps.
This is not Nordstrom's fault, but my main issue with the separate/unequal is that the clothing designed for larger female bodies is more D.A.R. than daring. We're not all conservative.

And the "dead man's hat" can refer to Gene now owning it and foreshadow him soon to join the Prussian.
These things make me ranty!
Sammitch, stat!
reminds me of waking up in my dorm room freshman year to see the first thing in my line of vision - the TV with the image of adult, male conjoined twins attached at the tops of their heads and wearing matching red pullover sweaters that to this day I wonder if they were born in because how the hell did they put them…
She always wore the best costume for today.
@StaunchCharacter: Ok, everybody out of the uterus.
Can someone in the mainstream media please be pointing out that the morning after pill SUPPRESSES OVULATION!? It prevents conception. It is not the same as the abortion pill, RU 486!! I feel like the media not having the correct information just continues the confusion about this distinction. And it's not just…
One aspect of HRT that is not usually discussed in the mainstream press is the difference between bio-identical hormones and the more commonly used estrogens derived from pregnant mare's urine. Yes, that's what Premarin stands for.
