Depending on the asker, try adopting a quizzicle look and replying, “Whyever would you ask such a personal question?” Then, if they don’t stop, burst into tears and run from the room. After that, cold shoulder them.

Your hypothesis cannot be backed up by any facts.

Whew. I do turn it up higher than the regular setting. Thanks.

we just got a new one. But, nope, not reading that. That’s why dishwashers are important. Think I’ll go buy some of the ultraviolet cases though

I have 2a hair, so I can mostly keep it straight when it’s that short, with the help of products, but even the little twig ends will start to curl up if I start sweating, which is why I picked this style. Trying to keep my hair perfectly straight is impossible.

Jane Marie, so glad you’re back, Jezebel has sorely needed your voice.

Dammit, Kinja.

The only time I ever said anything about a diet Coke habit to someone, was someone I knew personally, who was young, and that was all he would drink that wasn’t alcoholic. Literally, cans of the stuff on his desk everyday. I said something because soda can cause loss of calcium. I didn’t care that it was diet, it was…

Having gotten giardia at a restaurant, as well as a recent second worst case I ever had bout of food poisoning at a Wendy’s, I’m going to say that this has nothing to do with being a germaphobe.

There is literally no one in my family that, in the last five generations, has gotten cancer of any kind, or heart disease, or diabetes. We tend to develop autoimmune disorders, maybe because our immune systems are hyper, I don’t know. I’m not going to get my breasts irradiated every year on the off chance that…

There is a possibility that as much of 65% of breast cancer treatment is unnecessary. The problem is that as soon as the word cancer is used, people think it’s a death sentence, even if it’s “pre-cancerous.”

My mom would do something similar, but her favorite flavor--probably mostly my dad’s favorite flavor—was strawberry. It was pretty to cut into the cake and see the little threads of red running through it. She would blend the strawberry jello with regular vanilla cake frosting, sometimes, instead of pudding.

My mother used to make strawberry jello, enough to fill a cake pan up to about an inch, then, once it was set, she would put a layer of cooled vanilla pudding on top.

I’m in California, and at least vaccinations are now required for children to attend public school, with very few exceptions.

It’s pretty simple: Sugar will kill you. Not every diet fits every body.

As an old who can remember a time before the rubella vaccine:

I remember being at a Jehovah’s Witnesses convention as a teen and passing around copies of Lord of the Rings and Dune when our parents weren’t around.

The most recent Hillary murder count that I saw on Twitter was 52. Guess we better up it to 53.

I’ve heard that from kids. Usually, older kids who didn’t have parents telling them that it’s the kids’ fault for the divorce.
