I have seen a split- half go for goldens (we call them the state bird of Wellesley Massachusetts) and the other half are the sort that volunteer at rescues and shelters and adopt those dogs. My rescue pup is half beagle and half jack russell and she is just the best.

I love puppy butts. I don't know why.

I am really really surprised that MA did so badly. Looking at the criteria, I would think we would have done better than that. I wonder if MassHealth vs Affordable Care Act has something to do with that.

Or... maybe not make a woman suffer knowing she's carrying a pregnancy that has no chance of ending in a healthy (very very much wanted) baby.

I think it would depend for me. I would never go to a karaoke bar, but if I did and was singing someone's song and they popped in for that song, and then left. I think that would be pretty great. Makes an excellent story to tell. However, I think it's weird that they started dancing with two women who weren't…

I had my two best friends as bridesmaids/co-maids of honor since there were only two of them and I wasn't singling one of them out above the other. One is married and the other is engaged. It would have really sucked to not have them as support just because they found dudes they want to spend their lives with.

So you can say all of this and it's totally valid, but when a guy says it he's the worst ever and telling you what to think (worry/not worry about)? Double standard for the win!

Yeah. I don't really eat processed foods at all, and I just salt and sugar as is necessary. Salt brings out the flavors in foods, which is why processed foods have SO MUCH- otherwise, they wouldn't taste like anything.

I drink skim milk too (in cereal and coffee only). My issue with low fat or fat free cheese is more a texture thing... which is not noticeable to me when I use milk in things.

I slept with my husband on our first date. I feel no shame, and now we're married. So I guess no one told him that he should never marry someone who gives it up on the first date.

How come the baby has a last name but neither of her parents do?

I choose flights on price alone bc there is nothing that differentiates the airlines for me. One is not particularly better than the other. If an airline makes it a better experience for me in economy class- free snacks, free wifi, etc then I might factor that in, but American, JetBlue, southwest, united... They're…

Love Malbec. Love it so much went to Mendoza to drink copious amounts of it.

Fine. You're right. No one knows who she is.

I think you are probably in the minority (this coming from someone who has no idea who the girl on the far right is...). Mindy was on "The Office" for 8 years, and now she has her own show. So I think she is pretty well known.

It does stand out as the different one though. If they weren't all Feb, then I don't think people would be having the same reaction.

But who is confused about her ethnic background? That is what confuses me.

My pup is also in the running for saddest coldest pup in Illinois. She is a beagle Jack Russell mix and she just gave up trying to walk. Also had to carry her.

Yeah! What is the story there? I only saw one very poorly written article.

Harper Lee... It's pretty classic actually. Also, I think that's one of the Beckham kids.
