I know it is. I should have used “since” instead of “if.”

I wouldn’t be entirely confident about things the FDA says. They have approved medications that ended up being recalled due to terrible side effects-Vioxx is an example. I do think they’re probably right about the safety of DHA.

Everybody should just embrace their natural color. Ethnic girls are told pale is more beautiful. White girls are told tan is better. And the worst part is that we listen.

Technically as celestial bodies I doubt very much that planets are aware of or concerned with the measure of what humans perceive as consciousness.

Ye, Olde?

And yes, you can be a very serious and substantial woman and also allow the planets to rule your soul!

If you think that there aren’t 45 year old men listening to Green Day and eating hotdogs and ramen, then I envy your optimism about the human condition.

I mean, why can’t you be drunk on HSN? I know I’ve never watched it sober, so I would probably enjoy the feeling of solidarity if the presenters were also drunk.

Probably not, but I “cheerlead” for them because I don’t have to put them in my purse and hand them to him like I’m his mother. And I need room in there for tissues and starlight mints.

Last time I saw Bears and Cubs struggle that much, it was my entire damn childhood.

Just for clarity for people who don’t follow tennis: What Serena is trying to do is win the four major championships (Australian, French, Wimbledon and US Opens) in a calendar year. The “Serena slam” title is because she’s won all four in a row but over two calendar years. She’s won all the major titles many times…

I am going to keep this one short and sweet.

Aren’t most children who are sexually abused victimised by someone they know (a family member, a family friend, a teacher, a sports coach, a priest, etc.)? I don’t dispute for a second the necessity of encouraging children to be safe online but I feel that the harm a feature like this could do is significant in…

Citation for “hundreds of thousands”? That’s a much much larger number to claim without citation.

It *is* terminal.

They got married in 1995 but they eat a slice for each year it feels like has passed, hence three slices per year totalling sixty.

And I get where you’re coming from, too, but I don’t know if it’s helpful to detract from the larger issue. No one would stop you from going back to work, but too many people have to go back too soon. You know most of those 25% are doing things like waiting tables and don't have a choice.

I don’t think it’s cynical to recognize that the only people being helped are the ones who need it the least. And they’ll probably get shamed for taking their time off, anyway, so I wouldn’t schedule the parade just yet.

Do you do manual labor in your job? Or is it a white collar office job? Because I have a feeling that those women are mostly on the lower end of the income spectrum.

After two weeks? My body was still leaking from everywhere and no sleep was happening. I would have needed a donut pillow for my desk job, but can't imagine what I'd need to make it through a day on my feet at that point! Two weeks?
