Forgive me if this is too remedial, but the bobbin goes into its hole so that when you pull the thread it spins counter clockwise. (I just corrected a typo whereby I wrote "counter cockwise"). Once you have it in there, pull the bobbin thread down and then to the left so that it catches on the hook. Then close the…

I think where loved ones are concerned, we tend to see them differently and our opinion about how they look isn't just about surface appearance. So, when our sister or best friend says we look good it's not just them being nice. I can see where the desire to get an objective opinion comes from, but in the end what…

This is a special brand of crazy that I actually sorta like. Somewhere along the line that woman cut the tether that keeps most people striving to fit in. The kid has a crazy confidence and unselfconsciousness that I admire. Let's hope she can avoid turning into a narcissistic duchette.

Ugh. Last Mother's Day I ordered a beautiful big bouquet for my mom. When I went to visit her I saw that they had sent the small version of the bouquet, not the large one I purchased. Many phone calls to TeleFlora later I was basically told I was SOL unless I could get the local florist to reimburse me - not even a…

Thanks for the update. I think because hers didn't include a salutation or a close I assumed there might be other parts missing.

I think it's unfair to include his response but not the full text of her original email. Overall, his letter seems surprisingly thoughtful and honest, and that's coming from a pro-choice, non-religious person. It would have been better if he had explained why he couldn't take her off the email list - I've done email…

Huh. I tend to like such things in small doses, especially when I see them in person. Still, I'm waiting for a Lana del Rey comparison.

Right? I mean short of dropping a baby in there, I wouldn't even give it a thought.

You reminded me of a few years ago when I went to an outdoor festival with a friend. She went to the port-a-potties and came back 30 minutes later with a blue arm. Turns out she dropped her Chanel sunglasses into the slop and decided to fish them out. Then spent another 20 minutes furiously washing her arm in the pump…

Tee hee, "fluffy hot dog outer lips" - maybe that's my problem, too.

Ugh! I have that dream all the time. I go from bathroom to bathroom looking for somewhere to pee and either the toilet is overflowing, or they are all being used, or there are no doors on the stalls. I always wondered what would happen if I dreamt I was actually peeing and then one day I did but it freaked me out so…

Are you supposed to poop in that? My first thought was that I would loose my balance and fall in....I guess it beats a hole in the floor.

I used to work at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. The women's bathroom often had sprays of blood across the inside of the stall doors from drug addicts shooting up. But even at my gentile place of work these days I still see smears of menstrual blood on the seats and toilets jammed with paper towels. What's wrong…

I'd like to if only so that I didn't have to fuss with the paper seat cover. Also, wouldn't it be awesome if you went to a festival or other outdoor event and going to the port-a-potty didn't mean getting up close and personal with a urine-covered seat and a pile of doo-doo just inches away? Of course, I've used the…

I made a glib comment on that post about the blood on her legs being drips of self-tanner (a la Xtina). I think we've become used to celebrities being caught at inappropriate moments. Most of us know that we're all capable of making similar mistakes and we laugh at celebrities as we would laugh at ourselves. She did…

Another singer tragically afflicted with dripping self-tanner.

Michelle Obama 2016!

It's ok if her daughter becomes addicted to sugar because she'll love her if she gets fat? 1, she damn well better love her kid regardless of her weight, but 2, kids need more than just mom's love. Why not start her down a healthy path instead of teaching her to use stimulants at such a young age?

Well, I'm not exactly a fan of hers, but you're kind of making my point. She made you uncomfortable enough that now you've gone out of your way to post something negative about her, but then you chalk it up to boredom as if to prove how insignificant she is to you.

I am surprised at all the vitriol here. Just heard her for the first time after reading this post. She seems to be employing some sort of alter ego, which a lot of people do. Her music is ok - about as interesting as her character, which is medium-interesting. I don't know what it is she does that makes people think…
