@girlgonemild: I paint my own toenails and people always ask me where I got them done. I just trim and file my toenails, then I pretty much slather two coats of nail polish all over (letting each coat dry in between). Then I use a top coat - I like Revlon Double-Twist. I let it all dry for 2 hours or so and then…

@elephante: I love Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock. It's pretty much what it sounds like.

I bet in Mauritania skinny women are reviled. And that's not any better.

@Buttercupia-is-scenic: It was sliced raw celery. So it was this smooth, cool, tomato jello with hard, crunchy celery floating around in it. I'm gagging as I type. Yeah, the calves' feet really adds that extra kick (ha!).

Ugh. Reminds me of my mother's favorite summer special occasion side dish: tomato aspic. Basically tomato jello mold - bright red, opaque and with celery suspended in it. With a huge dollop of Hellman's in the middle.

@reenelk: It does appear that he has an extra floor on top. Wonder what he keeps up there.

Probably the only way they'll ever be compared.

I am not a hoarder. But, if their problem is that they think everything has value and therefore cannot toss anything out, then I have some mild inclination farther to the center of that continuum of behavior. Case in point: last weekend my sister was helping me unpack in my new house. She was lining the kitchen…

@missheidilynn: Ugh. I saw that one, too. The ammonia from the urine ate through the floor and she slept in the kitchen strapped to a potty chair. But she wasn't really sure if there was a problem. So sad.

@tangodiva: I remember. At the time I thought it had something to do with the polar bears, but they don't live in the Antarctic. Most of the time with Lost I'm glad I have a bad memory or else that show would drive me bonkers.

Thanks so much. I'm coming to New York days after this closes and am sorry to miss the chance to see her performance. I feel like I was there, a little, from your detailed explanation.

Entertain - Sleater-Kinney

I saw someone else mention Paula Begoun's books. I've followed her for a few years. She reads all the scientific dermatology journals and uses the information to debunk claims by cosmetic companies and recommend products, both low and high priced (quality doesn't seem to be dependent on price).

While I remember discovering "Georgy Girl" later on, I think my first encounter of Lynn Redgrave was in her 1980's Weight Watchers commercials. I can still hear her inspired delivering the words "rich ricotta." She would usually unveil herself at the end of each ad, flinging off the mumu or caftan she started off in.

@ZippyTheLangoustine: Exactly.

@I Will Not Stop Feeding My Fat Baby: Filet-o-Baio

@TheLemon loves Awesome Genitals: Clearly there's a need.

One gyno told my sister she had an extraordinarily long vagina (my sister's vag, not the gyno's). Maybe those long ones are for ladies like her.

@NapalmKitty: I've listened to it twice now. Ok, kind of tearing up a little just thinking about it now. No more whale stories for me today.

@Barrabás: They kind of are. Or they're so much more than we understand.
