OH it's atrocious. I love it. Except down here on the edge where they've doubled the pattern. Poor planning, upholsterers.

Funnily enough, getting away from the awful summers in Chicago was probably the best thing about moving to LA for me. It's been fucking brutal here the last two summers—record-topping highs and relatively high humidity to boot, which is rare for SoCal—but I still have nightmares about Chicago summers, where the…

Where your snot freezes on your nose hairs!

I lived in MN for four years; I remember too well some very sticky 100-degree heat waves in a tiny stuffy apartment with no AC. That was when I moved to California. :)

They'll only be hiring female pilots for the same reason, I assume.

As a certified Old Person who has Been Around The Block, I would say 1) Give yourself a decent period of time to grieve your relationship. How long that is depends on you. During that time, you might want to do something non-dating related that has always appealed to you. Watercolor, dance class, drive race cars,…

I echo Peter. I think it's worth it to reach out to the police (fwiw, I'm a lawyer but I don't specialize in this area) even if they can't help you now. In case anything ever happens, you want as much documentation of his aggression as possible.

The first and simplest step is to document everything he sends you. When I was 25 I would have offered to kick his ass for you. Having grown up some since then my advice is this, take what you have to the Police and ask some one with some experience of dealing with knuckleheads like this what you should do next.

I...oh dear.

This is almost exactly what I did a few years ago when I had found I had slid into depression. Made an appointment with my GP, and when she asked why I was there, I told her that I had been depressed (and started crying). She wrote me a scrip for Prozac that day, and got me an appointment with a psychiatrist about…

You are awesome. I love needlessly complicated cooking like making my own pasta or custard for a trifle etc. Always wanted to try sous-vide but I don't have the patience for it just yet (three little kids). I fully admit not being willing to spend the cash on a special machine. I will be standing on my back porch like…

Before my son came along, I was always convinced that kids like that were always put up to it by their parents. But my husband and I have no interest in metal music, and yet our 2yo developed a taste for it after discovering it accompanying some car videos on his iPad. You haven't seen disturbing until you've seen a…

That's definitely her make up all over Jayden Smith's face. A casualty of interracial making out. I've left a brown cloud around a white mouth a time or two . . .

I totally side with Coop on this one. Love Alec Baldwin in 30 Rock, but he does not get a pass for that kind of language. I was actually most offended by the "you would enjoy having my foot up your ass" tweet.

I'd say the man has some talent. He's no Kubrick, mind you, but he has written a number of films with mass appeal., and he seems to understand pop culture. Do you know how many terrible scripts are written in Hollywood? Like, truly, really terrible. He's not exactly my cup of tea, but churning out script after script…

That is indeed a clever idea, Jena Friedman. So clever, in fact, that there was a Canadian teen tv series built around essentially the same pun almost ten years ago: 15/Love.

I'll go out on a limb and guess "Skip" is "Skippy" of bush kangaroo fame.

He must have ditched it!

I need this suit in my life.
