Yep. I live in nyc and my husband and I are just now emerging from an almost 7 week bed bug nightmare. We have no idea how we got them aside from wild speculating. Someone on the subway? A movie theater? Who knows! It’s cliche to say, but it has been the most expensive, inconvienient, mentally and emotionally…

As someone who used to work at a hotel, I don’t trust these companies to appropriately treat the situation. For example, when a room is infested (and that’s not always as obvious as you’d like to think) the rooms next to it, above, and below are all supposed to be taken out of inventory because bed bugs are highly…

Yes! They do. That’s why I keep my luggage in the bathtub (ideally) or on the luggage stand (second-best) when I stay in a hotel rather than on the floor— at least if the hotel has ‘em, you’re less likely to take them home that way.

Last summer I paid about $500 more to fly to Europe on BA rather than Air China or Aeroflot because I figured it would be a much better experience (and also I’m an travel snob). Instead, both BA flights were old 747s with terrible seatback entertainment systems and terrible seats with lumpy padding. One flight was…

I know. I always worry about hotels. And now I’ll worry about planes too.

It still blows my mind that when I started university smoking was still allowed in bars...and now you can’t even smoke outdoors in a fucking park. Way to make me feel old, public health laws.

I sell vintage clothing and if I ran across this out in the wild I’d price it at approximately a zillion dollars. After wearing it every day for a zillion years. Also: Cheryl Tiegs fucking sucks.

She’s clearly perfectly healthy, I’m just saying it’s ironic that Tiegs trotted out the rule of having a 35" or slimmer waist against Graham, and Graham actually has a 30" waist. Tiegs is way out of range on her perception of bodysize. Maybe that’s just from working in the industry too long. Or, maybe she’s a jealous…

I remember my mom and the pediatrician sharing a light. The nurse tried to get in on the action, but you know what happens to the third person on a match.

It always startles me how much people smoke when I go overseas. It’s not like I don’t notice it here in the US, but it’s so much more prevalent in Europe and Asia.

The funny thing is that Graham is perfectly healthy according to Tiegs’ own standard (or, Dr. Oz’s), so it’s Tiegs who seems to have some dysmorphia going on. Maybe she’s projecting her own eating disorder?

Cocaine also works! Don't think it'd be advertised in a magazine though.

Not one thing of each cup. Multiples of each container depending on your starting weight. Like 5 containers of veggies, 4 protein, 4 carbs etc...

I’m more shocked by only one cup of veggies! For a whole day?!?!

For me it’s a horrible combination of both those things. I am on corticosteroids for severe asthma that cause weight gain so that makes it harder to lose weight, along with the asthma. I also grew up with parents who didn’t always feed my sibling and I, and when they did it was usually crap. Whenever we did have…

I am developing a half-assed theory that diets and calorie counting programs mostly work on people who are fat because they never learned portion control or bothered to think about what they are eating (i.e., mostly men, because they didn’t have this stuff hammered into them in childhood). Meanwhile, people who get…

Oh, I’ve thought about this quite a bit actually. If Oprah with all her money (with its access to any and all resources necessary/desired to lose weight) and seemingly endless ability, resilience, willpower and tenacity has been unable to lose weight and keep it off, that is the clearest message ever about weight…

Half a cup of carbohydrates? Monsters.

This Oprah/Weight Watchers thing really has me disappointed and bamboozled. 1) Oprah is an exemplary human being; 2) Oprah does not seem to have any significant health problems at her current weight; 3) Oprah has a grunt load of money. 4) Weight Watchers and almost all other diet programs do not work. They just don’t.…

I have a couple on FB that does this. I've hidden their posts. The wife is SO FUCKING ANGRY about women commenting on her husband's shirtless photos that he posts regularly ON FACEBOOK with a "public" setting. It's clear there is something going on there.
