Her son also claims that she used his disability payment to pay for more dolls, though the woman denied it. Horrifying.

Moving from Seattle to Chicago (sigh) really cured me of my former "I will never go into Starbucks" thing. When we first moved here, there was only one wi-fi coffeeshop in my whole neighborhood! We had to walk more than THREE BLOCKS to get coffee! It was madness!

Depends on proximity. Mr Machine and I only have one bathroom in our apartment, so we sometimes will casually say "I'm going to have some... alone time in the bathroom, if you need to pee do it now." Now, unlike the Machine household, the Jolie-Pitts probably have an enormo mansion, but six kids still probably get…

I don't meant to feed any hypochondria, but it might be a good idea to see a neurologist. Probably it's nothing, but neurological conditions often first manifest as these little tiny weirdnesses.

My sympathies! What I didn't realize until reading up on it is that migraines can actual cause nasal symptoms like congestion and discharge. I (along with my GPs) was putting the cart before the horse, assuming that the congestion caused the headaches instead of the other way around. It's definitely worth going to a…

According to a number of books I've been reading recently, many people who get debilitating "sinus headaches" are actually suffering from migraines. I was misdiagnosed as having chronic sinusitis for over a decade, and only ended up at a neurologist because I started having even-more-debilitating symptoms that were…

I just got diagnosed with migraines a couple weeks ago (after thinking I had "bad sinuses" all my life) because I was having such severe vertigo and one-sided pain that my doctor thought it might be a stroke or tumor and sent me to the ER for brain imaging. It was fucking terrifying. I can't imagine how scary it must…

@reallyred: Man, now I want breakfast food.

@keldo: Have you tried Ambien CR? It's got some kind of time-release mechanism, so it's supposed to combat that effect. Regular Ambien gives me about 7-8 hours of sleep, but the first time I took Ambien CR I slept for 12 hours straight (which at that point felt like I won the lottery).

@Necani: I am right there with you. I get hearts in my eyes when I see pics of her.

@maude_flanders: 39" is the over-the-bust measurement—that's the circumference of her torso at the fullest point of her breasts, so whatever size she wears, 39 is not going to be the band size.

@maude_flanders: Not to be a pedantic killjoy (TOO LATE), but 39D is really really not going to be Hendricks' size. Despite what Victoria's Secret tells you, there are cup sizes beyond D!

@keatonkeaton: And if you wear glasses but aren't a contacts person, *tell* the stylist that you can't see once you've taken your glasses off, so she can ask you specifically to okay choices instead of assuming you like what you're (not) seeing.

@flucky: Vain! They are amazing.

@thedevilwearsprimark: Well, she and her friend designed the dress themselves, produced it from sustainable fabric, and used it as the basis for creating outfits from thrifted, recycled, and donated accessories for an entire year (not to mention raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity). I mean, obviously you…

@thedevilwearsprimark: Sheena, the original UP blogger, had 7 identical copies.

@lalie (apologetic mess): I'll be in my bunk.

@Natey: Thank you for vastly improving my day.

@najmah: My only regret... is that I have... bone-itis!
