Incorporating elements of both religions into a household is one thing, one could argue they're just decorations, but the belief systems to truly support them is another. Lots of people go through the holiday rituals simply because it's tradition and not because of religious devotion. My sister and I lit the

Eh. I personally like more personality with my performances, so I'm indifferent. I can appreciate talent, sure, she's just not my taste. My mom is a huge Streisand fan, though, and forced me to watch Funny Girl repeatedly when I was younger, so maybe I'm just being rebellious in my disdain...

How do you really raise kids as halfsies? How do you explain Jesus? The two views— Christ is our savior/no he is not, seem just too contradictory to find a happy medium. It's one or the other. I had 2 Jewish parents and was raised Jewish, however they both divorced and married someone (and in my mom's case 2

Me neither. I love Bette to death; Barbra just seems like a bitch.

Right! They get a bath and are then hung out to dry! I can't stop watching!

I completely agree. There's something about someone else having access to your every thought (I email myself ideas/reminders/whatever) that is so creepily invasive. I would hate to be put on blast (again) for my personal musings. You need to retain a sense of privacy in order to stay sane, in my opinion, otherwise

Not only that, but the very act of surrendering all of your personal information is a slippery slope. He's going to abuse it and check her email/phone/whatever obsessively, and then when she finally changes the passwords and revokes his snooping privileges he's going to get suspicious and accusatory. Speaking from

I agree! I've watched this show from the beginning, and it's clear to see how being with him, and specifically having a child with him, ruined her life. It's a shame that she has to be shackled to this grotesque loser forever (whether they are in a relationship or not) through their daughter. Leah is (somehow,

I agree completely because I know how it feels to be on the receiving end of a snooping bastard.

Yes! I think I actually heard the lobster story on a morning radio show driving to school, so the senior parking lot was abuzz with all the other kids who heard it, too. Walking into school, I'm sure the teachers just heard a lot of giggling and told us to shut up, but it would have been helpful (though not

Oh my gd! I remember hearing the lobster babies in her who-ha story in high school! Sometimes I forget how stupid I was, but yeah, I totally believed it.

I had a pap smear and blood test (STD check) last month, and just got the bill from the lab/hospital today. Are these things now covered and should I contest the bill? I have insurance, and the bill is for the balance not covered by my insurance.

Everyone's gonna hate me for this, but Michelle Williams got so much mileage from Heath Ledger's death that it's ridiculous. I mean, yes, I loved her in "Dawson's Creek;" I loved everyone in "Dawson's Creek," but really? I don't get her. To me, she's faux awkward and takes herself too seriously.

Plus, if you tell your "sports guy" to grab a box of curveballs and meet you in the park after work and he doesn't catch on, then he's obviously been using athletics as a cover for "other" activities.

ME TOO!

He definitely shouldn't be desperate to be a part of that crap. For anyone who has ever experienced an emotionally abusive relationship, Christian Grey's control is NOT SEXY. I picked up the book out of curiosity, and when he mentioned tracking that girl's cell phone (and so flippantly!) I felt nauseated and had to

I always wear flats, and the message they send is, "I fall down easily." Seriously, my balance is terrible; plus I like to be comfortable.

Jessica Simpson may not know much, but she knows shoes. Her summer wedges are my favorite!

I had my wisdom teeth removed while I was in college. My roommate worked for the dental school and graciously volunteered to collect me from surgery and look after me while I recovered. When I woke up, I was woozy (duh) and surrounded by a bunch of male dental students... So, naturally I sat up and proceeded to

I think sleeping chemistry is an interest barometer of a relationship. My last boyfriend was a difficult sleeper (he had ADD and had trouble falling asleep and then even more trouble getting up, plus he was on certain rx drugs that affected his slumber), and we were on opposite schedules (I had to get up much earlier
