Apple has an really good maternity / paternity plan; it's a parity plan for both Mom & Dad, Mom & Mom, Dad & Dad.

Kudos to the surfer. Thumbs down for the family attempting to "go for a swim" during a riptide. I too, grew up on the southern Cailfornia coast, with some of the best surfing in LA County (walking, biking distance from home)> both my father and older brother are life-long surfers.

I think I heard the naked guy say "don't call the police". Or maybe there was no cell phone recption that far off the main road. Eventually, the hunter was going to have to call paramedics, though.

Yes, me too; all my life since puberty and adolescence. I'm a card carrying colored girl too. I turn 51 next week..

In Swift's defense (not in anyway a fan), the lack of expressiveness could be the fault of the overly aggressive re-touching that is so prevalent in 21st century photos.

It's likely that this kid was able to penetrate the e-mail list for the various Asian / Asian-American groups on campus. That would be the most effective way to gather names and e-mails for the target population.

"And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?"

I had also thought Sephora's in-shop employees are paid commission on sales, but maybe I'm confusing Sephora with another cosmetic store.

Virgins don't produce placenta. It's the placenta that grants eternal youth. I heard this piece of advice from a hippie Wiccan goddess. We were both very, very stoned, though. I think the Wiccan goddess was just trying to scare me (it worked)

As a "woman of a certain age", I can tell you that it's likely that JLo is wearing compression / support hose under her fashion / costume stockings. She's a smart woman, and probably has constant photo shoots (in tiny clothes) while she's touring. The compression hose will help prevent swollen ankles, knees, and most

I agree with Lucy here: some of those rumors about sorority life and pledging (newspaper, tin foil, etc) have been circulating since I was in college in the early '80s. I also lived in a frat house one summer (Chi Phi). The place was gorgeous and had it's own cook and housekeeper.

No, I can't criticize Gwyneth for this post. I grew up in a household where my Mom used to iron the sheets before placing the on the bed with absolutely perfect "nurse corners".

After four years of nursing my mother at home, through both liver and colon cancer, I can give a definitive "Hell No!" to your statement:

Having nursed my mother for four years at home, through both liver cancer and colon cancer before she died, I can give you definitive "Hell no!" to your statement:

Robin Roberts is also a two-time cancer survivor. She truly is a Superwoman.

Yes, Snoop is really tall and skinny. Surprisingly tall, given that so many male celebrities are Munchkins (big heads, little bodies).

My memory is not so rusty after all: the movie is King of the Gypsies. Here's the movie trailer, it show the beginning of the scene I described in another comment: the scene where the toddler swallows the precious gem.

There was a movie way back when that had a scene just like this post: a stolen ring or precious stone was stolen and was swallowed by the accomplice a (toddler). In a later scene, the toddler was placed on the toilet as his mother tickled his butt to encourage the toddler to poop the ring out.
