I think the comment implied that Pebbles might think they deserved it, not that GimmeABreakPlease held that opinion.

Oh, Kate. Everyone knows that The Crillon Bal des debutantes is the fanciest of them all!

She's the whistle only dogs can hear.

What I'm about to suggest is so much easier to say than to do, but I'd try to put my mind on other things. Nothing kills romantic potential more quickly than even the hint of anxiety. Go about your business. As my friend says, "be pretty, fun and busy," and when you hang out with him again, you'll be the type of…

I started smoking when I was 15 and quit when I was 28; It's been 15 years. I used the gum to quit after two unsuccessful attempts at cold turkey. I found the gum so helpful and I'd encourage you to take a by any means necessary approach. Good luck!

I once had Tami Erin (as an adult) in an acting class I taught in SF. In addition to being a really solid actor, she's such a sweet, sensitive soul. I hope she's OK and has good folks surrounding her.

It is great, but it's actually called, "Meditations in and Emergency." ;-) To the Harbormaster is probably my favorite in that collection.

Frank O'Hara's "Having a Coke with You." I use this poem to gauge whether or not I'm falling in love with someone. If we've been dating a while and in one of those still, quiet moments in my brain it pops up, then I know I'm in love.

My knowledge about the faith is also anecdotal and from friends, but there's this odd no man's land (literally, 'mans'—women hardly ever take this path) where they have one foot in and one foot out, with the long term plan being about returning to a fuller practice of the faith (often happens post college, post…

So they haven't stated it outright, but Brooks is from Utah, has a gigantic family, all of the women in his family were in long sleeved/modest clothing...when the Confronty McLawyer (I know so few of their names so I make up nicknames) was accusing the baby parader of not going to church on Easter, he mentioned…

The second I saw his family on the hometown date, I knew that Brooks wouldn't follow through. It's clear that he's not only LDS, but actively so and while it does happen from time to time, LDS members don't often marry outside of the church.

If you live anywhere near LA, try Miss Stevens in Beverly Hills. They have really precise old lady experts and carry every size imaginable. If you're nowhere near, try Nordstrom or try call ing Miss Stevens and asking for a referral. Bra fitting is something you just can't do yourself with a measuring tape and a…

You might find some good advice on the Chronicle of Higher Education Fora. They have a section for just this quandry: http://chronicle.com/forums/index.p…

I, too, love the Arnold Palmer. Designer Jonathan Adler is trying so hard to turn iced tea with milk into the Jonathan Adler. I'm not buying it.

NYMag just posted an article about this very thing. It's a sign:

omle12189o, I feel like we're in almost the exact same situation. I also have a family history of substance abuse, and though it's never been a serious problem for me, I feel like I can see problems on the horizon, hence the hiatus.
