@gherkinfiend: All menopausal women will be declared Unwomen and sent to The Colonies, obviously.

@sumerfish: Right,at 16. But 12? SATC is just not appropriate for a 6th/7th grader.

I thought she was in love with her by herself?

How about, parents who let their 12-14 year olds watch things like Gossip Girl, Sex and the City and 90210 are maybe not the most involved parents and aren't supervising their young teens as much as they should be?

@63words: The Very Special Christmas cd's are pretty good. And bonus, I'm pretty sure part of the proceeds go to the Special Olympics.

@rose.of.many.thorns.colette: A laptop tote for mom, dresses for my girlfriends, pj pants for my brothers and guy friends, nightgowns for my grandmothers and slippers for my dad. Wow, in print that sounds ridiculous, but I swear, it's all Simplicity patterns and each piece takes less than an hour. Well, except the…

I confess, I'm an insane Christmas person. I love it. I get irrationally irritated with Halloween because I see it as this stupid thing I have to do before I get to the good stuff, like the crappy chocolate covering the delicious crispy cookie of a Kit Kat bar. I even love going to the mall during the holiday…

@Scoithniamh: No, they're actually harming people.

@BrutallyHonestBabes: I'd like to sue him for emotional distress caused by his accent in Far and Away. Will that be part of your class action suit or will I need to file my own?

Isn't Dee, like, 30? Why did she have a heart attack? Is it from the cat food and glue-sniffing?

I didn't watch this, but I did get to watch the absolute fucking tantrum that my aunt and uncle threw last night when my mother told them we could watch it on TiVo and they couldn't watch it live in the living room while there was a birthday party going on. I'm think I may have had the more entertaining half hour.

@Jabbotage: A Ren Faire Slave outfit? Oh, man. I can't believe I missed so much batshit crazy in one hour.

OMG, Lily, just stay put and be Serena's mother for awhile, will you?!

@DixieCaverns: It was kinda amazing, I have to say. My mom wouldn't let them turn the TV while the kids were opening b-day presents, and so my uncle stands up and goes, "Come on, darling, we'll go see if they have a TV in their bedroom." My mother, obviouisly, was like, "No, please do not go our bedroom." So they…

Wait, what? They all got together and shaved each other? WTF? I can't believe I missed these shenanigans. Stupid family party/TIVO being stupid/aunt and uncle having nervous breakdown about Obama ad leading to them rampaging through our house in search of a TV.

Well, at least it's someone with a nice voice. Imagine if the only voice you could identify was Fran Drescher?

@mommymash: He didn't have any roommates, as far as I know. But he's barely only mentioned in most of the articles I've seen, despite the charge being that he was the one that actually stabbed Meredith, which drives me bonkers. Like, the press is all over Amanda's sexual history, but apparently he's just some sweet…

@Triphena: dogin= doing. Yeah, there was a little ctrl c/ctrl v action there. If the spell doesn't work, I blame that.

@rose.of.many.thorns.colette: I bind you, rose.of.many.thorns.colette, from dogin harm, harm against yourself and harm against others. I bind you, rose.of.many.thorns.colette, from dogin harm, harm against yourself and harm against others. I bind you, rose.of.many.thorns.colette, from dogin harm, harm against…

@mommymash: They were away for the weekend.
