A recovery cookbook would be awesome. Like she said, recharting your relationship with food is more than just "eat more."

One of the reasons I hesitate going to the dermatologist even though I've got a couple of things that should probably be looked at is every time I go they try to sell me some skin product that they, coincidentally, have developed and no it isn't covered by my insurance. Isn't that a conflict of interest? I'm pretty…

A friend of mine live-tweets how awful Whitney is each week. I sort of wish he'd stop, only because I know my laughs are at the expense of his having to sit through it (he's a professor of media studies at a major university and takes both an academic and audience pov—it is hilarious).

Give me a dive bar where nobody really gives a toss who you fuck. There are plenty in my city. If I (a straight woman), turn down your invite to a gay (male) bar, don't assume it is because I'm uncomfortable with your sexuality, but that I am just straight-up bored by the pickup scene, gay or straight.

I actually have a Festivus pole that I lean in a corner every year. After the airing of the grievances are the feats of strength. Best holiday ever.

I've heard the term "skirt" used in the past.

One of the funnier conversations I've had lately is with a male friend who has a Finnish name that nobody can pronounce, a female friend who has a name that would have been popular in fairy tales or three generations ago and I, with my now-somewhat-common-but-completely-unheard-of-when-I-was-a-kid name, bitching about…

I love tea soda! I make it with my Soda Stream too.

My dog freaks out when I use it! I didn't realize it had the same effect on cats. My bird just tweets in reply. I mean chirps.

I got my brother who moved from NYC to Vancouver a Soda Stream so he and his family could enjoy the fizzy taste of home (apparently, selter—not as common, bubbly or cheap in B.C.) Then got my brother in Brooklyn one because he was going through two two-liter bottles of seltzer from the deli per day. He says his…

You're all, "I'm wearing a crown, so?" Love it!

What the heck is "innerwear?" Is it braces and diaphragms? Also, Karl: yes, taxes are used for shopping. The goverment goes shopping for roads and schools and, unfortunately, wars.

Gordon rapping, Mr. Hooper shakin' his moneymaker and Bert photobombing! Oh my god, I can feel my patent-leather Mary Janes pinching my toes right now! I was first generation Sesame Street.

I've only gotten the microfiber and they are absolutely opaque.

LOL! Not terribly different from my door of bras. I have over-the-door coat hooks on my bedroom door and I hang my bras from them. I have several large-sized, heavily constructed bras and they do not fit in my dresser drawer at all.

You might want to try a pair anyway, especially the microfiber type. Their return policy is pretty good—will take any return up to 30 days after delivery.

How did I miss this post on Tuesday? I hawk the shit out of this site to anybody who will listen every year when tights season rolls around. I've got pairs that are just as springy and vivid as they were when I bought them two years ago. Also, shipping? Like two days and that is without any special delivery…

I have a B.A. from Penn State. I graduated in the 1980s. I personally knew two women—I should put that in quotes as they were both around 19 years old—who were raped by football players. Nothing was ever done about it and the pressure on them to keep their mouths shut was immense. I even had a conversation with a…

Awesome? No, Awe-all!
