Because I have a regular cycle, painful ovulation, and especially painful periods, I am pretty in tune with my cycle and where I am in it. It doesn't rule my life, but during week 3, I do tend to consciously take a step back and mentally count to ten. It doesn't have to mean you micromanage your life to the tune of…

While I do find a lot of this to be over the top, I also sometimes find it helpful at work or at home to remind myself when I'm getting bitchy that it's PMS week. Taking five minutes to calm down and then reevaluating whether I have good reason to be bitchy or not is often helpful during those weeks.

That's exactly how the student who I used to be a TA for in second grade would ask (PDD-NOS). The ABA room was right across the hall from our gened 2nd grade classroom, and the teacher went into each second grade classroom and spoke a bit about Autism, what it is, how you can't catch it, etc. My student raised his…

The bright-eyed ingenue is what's popular now. Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence have it. Kristen Stewart doesn't have it and isn't trying to have it and doesn't care if you don't like that she doesn't have it. She would have fit in better with the anti-heroes of the 1970s than she does today.

Yes! The bright-eyed ingenue thing certainly has appeal, but it's not the only way to be, right? I don't really understand why all actresses have to approach their work in the same way. What an incredibly tedious professional strait-jacket. I'm not a mad Kristen Stewart fan (I think she's decent-to-good, with…

I think people her age grew up watching Disney channel and that stuff and think actors need to exaggerate their expressions to something a bit theatrical, but some of us like that kind of "natural" acting. I like her.

Even if you think she's the worst actress the Hollywood pipeline ever excreted (I happen to think she's fine), it's still vaguely distasteful to sneer at a woman for not giving you the facial expressions you think she should. Kristen Stewart doesn't owe you smiles.

I'm tall for a woman (~6ft) and my husband is mega tall, we don't need Knee Defenders because our legs are naturally jammed up against the seats and prevent people from reclining. Occasionally they turn around angrily with a WTF look and we apologetically point out that our bones can't bend, it sucks for us too. Most…

everyone needs to stop complaining about flying. Traveling is worth all the inconveniences! The only legitimate complaint is that it's too expensive.

That Knee Defender Courtesy Card is the ultimate in passive-aggressive notes. Also I'm with Louis CK; everyone needs to stop complaining about flying. Traveling is worth all the inconveniences! The only legitimate complaint is that it's too expensive.

I thought the unspoken rule was that you can only recline seats on long / international flights because we're all packed in like sardines, and really, you don't need to take a nap on a 3 hour flight. Newark to Denver? I don't think that cuts it.

I personally found this hilarious. I'm very positive this was physical satire. I just don't understand Jez. It's OK when other women do it, but not Sofia Vergara. I don't want to go on a different tangent here, but it's starting to seem like racism to me. That would explain a lot, actually.

Um, actually, the correct Benedict Cumberbatch nickname for this situation is "brr-my-dick cock-is-shrank".

Hahaha! And while I'm not one of your VINYs, I am an ex-NYer and can tell you this factoid as well: none of us know how to drive a car until we're forced to move to the suburbs.

Something I've noticed about the Very Important New Yorkers in my life (you know who you are, if you're reading): none of them knew how to ride bikes before moving to Japan.

this is very simple. you just had to be britney and it was perfect. her TRL-era videos are the definition of perfection. toxic alone proves my point.

YES. Kim K has recently turned me on to the wonders of the high waisted jersey knit/spandex pencil skirts. It is AMAZING. I'm not quite there yet with embracing the crop top (nor do I think I ever will be) but something that hugs both my booty and my waist simultaneously is like a gift from the heavens.

But do the youths even know who Hilary Duff is?? Lizzie McGuire was on when they were infants. And she hasn't really done much since.

Stop the crop!! (repeat X forever)
