And we're all sure it's not just Mary Kate dressing up as a 70 year old woman again, right?

HamNo neglected to mention the other archetype: Brent. Brent has a small ponytail, light hipster beard and sports Teva toe shoes at all times. Brent workout philosophy consists of: gluten is killing you, The Man is keeping you dependent on running shoes that are ruining your knees, and the reason you can't knock out…

I can't get over how many trainers I observe teach improper technique on basic strength training exercises. If you do not know the proper form for a squat you should be disqualified from teaching strength training to others. Unfortunately, my 'keep your mouth shut and worry about your own workout' mantra overrides my…

I thought Stockton was the armpit of California? I mean, I'm OK with us having two but what will we call Bakersfield?

As a guy who is ex military I never did well with pull-ups either... It favors certain types of men and even though I was stronger than most men in my unit I was also taller and built bigger. So even though I was stronger than most guys I had a lot more weight to pull, my strength to size ratio was less than guys…

I read about her this morning and the entire thing forced me to give my computer screen a One Finger Salute. She never explains WHY she did this. She never mentions WHAT any results/consequences/etc. were. She doesn't WRITE anything about her experience, but merely posted 1 picture a day featuring Starbucks food…

Now, I go to starbs as much as the next white unemployed middle class girl in her early 20s, but I have to say I'm not a fan of their food options. I think all of their pastries are grossly over sweetened—a simple muffin tastes like a frosted cupcake. Their sandwiches are generally pretty unfortunate too. I think I…

Just give this woman the book deal she so wants. For fuck's sake....

Umm...so people just sat there and did nothing as a FREAKING ALLIGATOR (or crocodile, I didn't look close enough to see which one it was) LUNGED AT THE CAT?

Hmmm . . . I got to 1:50 and most of them were fucking disturbing and now I haz a sad. Especially the poor, clearly traumatized cat in the shelter. Am I missing something?

Burt, I just want to thank you for picking up where Laura left off with the fuzzy animal beat. You are doing important work here. Never let anyone tell you different.

I really feel like commune life and takes-a-village family styles can and have totally worked and that it is possible that they are the more natural/healthy family structure. But so much of their exposure only happens where there is a juicy story about betrayal, cult worship, and abuse attached to it. It'd be like if…

Barkenstock!

I'd hang on to some of the letters ( I mean, not that I can tell you what to do, or anything like that.) I don't mean every note they ever wrote, but history is ordinary people, writing letters, exchanging gossip, all those tiny threads. Think of all the things we wouldn't know about any period of history—the Civil…

I don't know. I would love to have my mothers' and grandmothers' letters to each other.

Fuck you. Ever since my hysterectomy, I am constantly reminded by parents that I will NEVER know true unconditional love. That I can never understand it. Well, fuck them and fuck you too. Congrats on your little miracle. I would know nothing about miracles, love or selflessness, though.

Fuck you for implying that this tragedy wouldn't have an impact on people without kids. Holier-than-thou attitudes like yours are exactly what contribute to the increasing polarization of parents and non-parents.

Agreed

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you meant well, but man, your comment made it sound as if you think non-parents just shrug off the death of children.

Since no one's already said it, I'll say that the best way to fit all your stuff into a small apartment is to not have as much stuff. Get rid of stuff you don't really need first, and then figure out if you need to make your bed taller.
